I watch my twin grandbabies several days a week and needed to find a way to burn some energy on days when we can't go outside. I researched climbing sets for several weeks and ultimately felt this was the best set for the money. The kiddos have been using them 3-4 days a week for almost 4 months and so far there is no visible wear and tear. They love to use them to climb up and down on the furniture and hop from piece to piece. The cushion that looks like a ramp is perfect for pretending to slide down, and they also use it to roll their cars and balls down. I place two bean bags on each side of the structure and they love to jump from the cushions onto the bean bags. Now that they are older, they have started stacking the cushions and putting them into different configurations for some unexpected open end playtime. The only negative things I can say about them is that not all of the pieces have rubber bottoms and I think they should also come with velcro strips to hold the pieces together. The three larger pieces do have rubber bottoms but they do still slide apart pretty easily. It doesn't stop this from being a great set that provides a lot of fun and much needed exercise for busy toddlers. My only regret is that I didn't purchase it sooner. They are 17 months old right now and still use it every day, but it would have been perfect for them when they first started crawling. So, if you're thinking about getting these for your baby, don't wait like I did. Just buy them. Your baby will love it and you'll love watching them have fun and enjoy the benefit of getting rid of all that excess energy.
