American Plastic Toys Kids’ My First Climber & Slide Duo Combo, Ideal for Kids Learning to Climb, Wide Footrest Steps, Balance & Coordination, Ages 2+

The set I received had one leg of three that was about a half inch too short. The instructions really need tweaking. The way they are written makes assembly unnecessarily difficult. Also, be warned it comes with NO pre-drilled holes. You are expected to drill through the hard plastic with an electric drill. I wasn't anticipating this so I didn't have one ready and had to do the entire thing with a Phillips screwdriver. It is made of cheap flimsy plastic. I just wanted something inexpensive I could leave at my mom's, so I wasn't too disappointed. Also it looks bigger in the pictures. My pictures are with my 17 month old, & I don't think a much bigger child could use it.

Was kinda tricky to put together but not the worst. Giving it two stars because it is very flimsy and wobbly. Also because the slide is so narrow that my 1 year old toddler can barley fit on it. Not to mention that the slide is short and steep so she almost can’t slide on it. I had to put her on socks for her to be able to use it. But she doesn’t seem to mind any of it and is happy about it so I guess that is worth something. It is easy for her to climb up it too. The climbing side is so short that she just steps over it to get on the slide. I would not use this product outside because it is not sturdy enough to stand up to the elements for long. The little Tykes slide was better for similar price.

For the price, you can't beat it. I was looking for something for my two children (3 years old and 21 months) for their playroom that wasn't over $100. Difficult feat to tackle, I discovered as I did my research. And then I came across this climber. I was a little unsure at first because the price was so much cheaper than others, but decided it was worth the $40 to me to try it out. My kids LOVE it. We've had it for about 2 months and they play on it every day.We started out with it in the corner of the room because I had read other reviews talking about how it could be top heavy, but I realized quickly that it wouldn't be an issue for us. (Although, I will say that my 3 year old decided to put the slide on top of a small little foam couch that sits about 2 inches off the ground, and when she stood up on the platform, it tipped over. Just make sure it's completely on the floor and not ever sitting on anything) I'm not sure if when they get older it might possibly become an issue, but for now we have no problems.The slide is a little short (as a saw other reviewers say), but neither of my kids seem to mind that, and honestly, I wouldn't expect an indoor climber to have a much longer slide because that would make the platform at a dangerous height. If you're looking for a long slide, look for an outdoor climber or go to the park.The platform is only a couple of feet off the ground so I don't worry about them falling off of it. It's not high enough for a toddler to really injure themselves if they fall. I wouldn't recommend it for younger kids who are just walking unless you're going to help them climb on it and stay very, very close.It's made of plastic (as I'm sure you can tell from the photo) and it does feel cheap, but it feels sturdy one you put it together. The weight limit is for two kids at like, 45 pounds each I believe.All in all, I would recommend this for someone who wants a cheap climber for in the house.

I had planned to email Amazon or American Plastic Toys (the seller) about the missing pieces, but I can't find any option anywhere to contact anyone about problems, the only option I see is to send it back for a refund. I wanted to speak to someone to see if they can just send me the missing pieces . The pieces that are missing go on the top of the posts (see photos), they would have been the last thing we put on but when we got ready to put those pieces on we noticed that they were not included. I've already got this thing put together and my kid has already seen it, I really don't want to have to take this thing apart and send it back BUT without these pieces connecting the posts the entire thing is wobbly and not safe for my daughter to play on. If Amazon or American Plastic Toys customer service sees this review and sends me the pieces we are missing I will delete this bad review. If not I will send it back and look into a refund.

This is easy to tip over. It would be helpful if the legs were weighted. My daughter's 1 and the guard rails along the two closed sides were a bit low reaching below her waist making it easy to tip over the sides if they don't sit right away. My daughter has fallen off this twice so you really need to be sitting right there when they use it. Climbing up is ok but would be better if there were handles to grab narrowing the opening a little. For the money it is a good product just requires constant super vision while in use. It doesn't store well as it's all one piece but it is so light weight it moves around extremely easily.

The plastic this is made of is too light weight, and in fact was so thin that it broke in the first day we had it, only inside, and my 18 month old slid down it maybe 5 times before a 6" long crack occurred while he slid down it running across the length of the slide. Had the crack not happened it may have been ok except it was too light weight and every time he tried to climb up it it almost or did flip over on him because. Needs a wider spaced base or some kind of weighted base. I returned this for a refund.

I have had no problems with this climber. We bought it for Christmas for our then 16 month old. He is now 18 months, 25 lbs., and roughly 30 in. The platform is about waist high. He hasn't flipped it yet but the climber is very light weight so if he is climbing on the edge or corner I will hold on to it while he's climbing, to be safe. It wasn't hard for my husband to put together but he re-adjusted the legs because they didn't line up and made the toy wobbly. We keep it indoors and I would not recommend leaving it outside. Overall, decent for the low cost.

Not that easy to built put realy fun for the kids
