| katlynn58's Full Review: Step2 Playhouse Climber 7231KR |
About two years ago my daughter and I were very fortunate to find at a yard sale the Step 2 Playhouse Climber and Swing Extension as one set already assembled. Unbelievably we only paid 50.00 for it. Upon researching the product at the Step 2 website at www.step2.com I found that sold separately the 'Playhouse Climber " sells for 350.00 and the " Swing Extension" sells for 180.00 As a combined Playset it can be found for around 525.00 . It can be found at most toy stores and some hardware stores. Some stores that carry it are at Target , Wal-Mart , Toys -R -Us , and KB Toys. It can also be purchased online at www.step2.com/direct/ or call 866-429-5200 to find a store near you.
The "Playhouse Climber'' comes with a 5 1/2 foot slide which is entered from the opposite side by 5 steps that lead to a standing platform that is actually the roof of the playhouse. The playhouse has a door and crawl through tunnel under the slide. The other walls contain windows. "The Swing set Extension" Joins at the platform area and comes with 2 adjustable plastic swings made of durable plastic. We used a "Little Tikes" baby swing we already had for our youngest . The swings were easily interchangeable. "Step 2" also makes a baby swing that is almost identical.
There is open holes at the bottom of the poles to the swing set for securing it to avoid the pumping that can occur when kids swing . When we purchased this set we were told it was 4 years old and we have added 2 more years with no problems. We've seen a small amount of rust on the steel extension bar but for Michigan winters I feel it has held up great.
I feel "Step 2" makes wonderful , durable products and this is just another asset to anyones list for outside toys. We have even added the "Big Splash Center" to the other side of the swing set but that is another review.!
Thanks for reading and rating ..
