MY REVIEW
Can I just say that this summer is going to be sooo much more fun than last summer?
Step 2 sent us the fabulous Play Up Double Slide Climber for review, and we have been happy little clams ever since. We live in a town home and have a very small backyard, and this fits perfectly. I feel so much more comfortable sending Elliot out to play for a little while by himself because I know he will be safely occupied. And he loves it too!
Gus can even play safely with little intervention. He can play on the little slide but can’t crawl up any higher to where he could fall and hurt himself. This is a benefit I was not expecting – I didn’t think my 1 year old would be able to have much fun, but he absolutely does. Both boys can play happily side-by-side on this toy longer than any other.
My husband spent about 1 hour putting the whole thing together and didn’t get frustrated even once – a notable accomplishment. He is not very handy and still didn’t mind assembling this play set. That tells me the instructions were clear and easy to follow, all the parts were present, and it required only basic tools that we own.
My favorite part about the Play Up Double Slide Climber is the double slide part. Elliot is at that age where sharing is IMPOSSIBLE so they each have their own size appropriate slide. This saves me from breaking up fighting/biting/hitting matches and keeps both boys playing happily.
Although Gus does like that big slide – he gets a little more air than on the other one!
Besides the two slides, this toddler play set has stairs on one side and a climbing wall with foot holes on the other. It has a steering wheel for the captain and some room underneath for hiding in the shade.
This play set holds up to 180 pounds, so even several older children could play at the same time. It’s made from durable plastic that has held up well in the crazy Utah weather we’ve been having this spring. Elliot loves to throw dirt/mud all over it and it cleans up very easily with just water.
Here’s a short video of the Double Slide Climber in action.
We have several Step2 outdoor toys, and all of them have been so much fun for the kids in the summer time and easy to clean and store. The Play Up Double Slide Climber is going to get lots of use this summer!
Thanks Step2!
