My 18-month old loves this climber. We live in a small apartment. With this climber, my child can climb, slide and shoot hoops without using a lot of space or going outside in bad weather. There is a net under the basketball hoop that can be used for playing soccer. The height of the hoop is adjustable for a growing toddler.

The negatives: The ladder to the slide is not user-friendly for my toddler. If I did not assist her w/ the ladder, she would fall or not be able to use the slide. There is nothing around the platform between the ladder and the slide to prevent a toddler from falling off. Hence, a child must be closely supervised at all times. Finally, the slide has a speed bump at the bottom, which can result in a rough end to the ride. However, the bump prevents my child from flying across the room when she gets to the bottom. Note that this toy can easily move on a wood floor.

Overall, the slide is fun, fun, fun. Toddlers like to climb, and this toy satisfies that need.

1st time reviewer. Wanted to let other moms (and dads) know that:
1) easy to put together - just follow directions (20-30 max time needed)
2) no big deal: there are no rails between ladder and slide. i positioned that side against one wall in my house and it serves as my additional wall.
3) slide is great! to me the picture of the slide looks like there is a stopper or lip at the end of the slide to stop a baby from flying off the end. There is no abrupt stop or lip. Smooth, safe and FUN ride all the way down.
4) My son (16mths) is so worn out he PASSED out tonight from playing so much today. All I can say is THANK YOU Little Tikes :-)
5) I live in a townhome so no yard and no storage inside. This toy is big enough to provide hours of entertainment. Versitile - you can store it away in an instant. I bought this for inside play - but this could easily go outside as well.

You cannot go wrong buying this toy from BabyAge. It’s Versitile. Play soccer or basketball or slide. Stores Easily. Great Deal. Excellent Toy.

Only drawback I can find is the only ball it comes with is a basketball. It’s as big as a Size 1 soccer ball. perfect size for baby.
