Editorial Review
Over 10 feet long from end to end--with portholes, doors, ladders, slides, nooks, and crannies galore--this molded-plastic playground promises years, if not decades, of entertainment before all of its possibilities can be exhausted. A 2-foot-long climb-through tunnel connects two separate, open-topped towers (one is 4.5 feet tall, the other 5.5). The shorter tower has a swinging door and windows, the larger one has two separate levels and two smooth-plastic slides (one is 3 feet long, the other 4). It's the perfect investment for bigger and smaller kids to play with together. But best of all, the playground can be disassembled and rebuilt into eight different configurations whenever the current setup loses its charm. With Little Tikes' typical rock-solid, kid-friendly construction, you can bet this sturdy playground will be around long enough for that to happen. --Paul Hughes

Customer Reviews

GREAT FUN!!!!!!!!
We recently purchased Little Tikes 8-in-1 climber. Prior to recieving it, I read through the customer reviews, and from the information I gathered I was dreading the assembly process. To my surprise it was much easier. My husband and I did it in about 35 minutes. We just followed the directions, had a 2x4 and hammer ready and it came out great. The tunnel was the most challenging piece and required the most muscle. My kids LOVE it. This is the best purchase we've made in a long time. It's very durable and of course attractive to children, as all Little Tikes toys are. The only suggestion I would make is that it says for up to 8 year olds. However, I would say 6 years old would be more appropriate. But either way it will withstand any child. I would definitely recommend this product to our friends.

Pure Fun
I purchased this toy for my 2 children, who are 4 and 1. We found this item also hard to assemble at first but resorted to using a heavy duty flat head screwdriver to get the parts to snap together. Once we used this we had it assembled in less than an hour. As we were pulling it out of the box we had 2 neighborhood kids come investigate, and all four were playing on it as we put it together. We have had it less than 24 hours and already have reconfigured it. My main disappointment came from the fact that the "8" different ways for it to go together were mainly just changing where the slides are and if the tunnel is high or low. The system is rated for children ages 2-8, but I think that an 8 year old would be a bit too big for the slides and tunnel. But overall I think that this is a great investment for anybody that has both an older and younger child.

Broad Range of Fun
I recently bought this playground, after much budgeting, for my son's 1st birthday. He is in awe of it and can't stop going back and forth through the tunnel. He also loves going down both of the slides (he can't really climb up to them yet, so I have to place him at the top and hold his hand). One of the reasons I got it was the reputation for durability that the little tikes brand carries. It has certainly held true. For those of you considering purchasing this item, but are concerned about reviews of how difficult the assembly is, I can recommend using a rubber mallet to pound the pieces together, it makes it go very quickly but doesn't scratch or bend the very tough plastic. This playground entertained the children at my son's birthday party, age range 1 year to 9 years, and there was even a bounce house there for competition! I would definitely recommend this toy to parents with children ages 2-6, maybe even up to age 8 as the manufacturer says, but mostly if the older kids will help out the little ones and not trample them!
