christyshular Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 I am looking for a play set for outside at my house for my little girl's birthday. She will be 2 in May and loves to go to the park and play. I am wanting a smaller set instead of a large wooden set, in a few years we plan to invest in a BIG GIRL swing set. I want get a plastic playground with a climber, slides and a swing. (little tikes brand comes to mind) Any suggestions would be appreciated? Where can you get the best deals? (Shipping is very high on the ones I have looked at) Thanks!:)
MelissaS Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Toys R Us carries most of the Little Tikes products in the store. They are stored in the back and usually there is a little kiosk in the front of the store with pictures of what they have. In particular, they carry the Little Tikes Variety Climber w/ Swing Extension (sounds like the set you are describing). You can also try Craigslist for a used set, but you have to be very quick-anything Little Tikes or Step 2 sells VERY fast!
Ripn Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 Unless you're made of money, I would get the "Big Girl" set now. We have 1 of those wood sets... 2 slides, climbing rope, 3 swings etc....and my boys don't really use it that much. They would rather swim/play basketball/use the trampoline. MOST swingsets seem to be unloved and unused, you may find some in the paper used...or even on freecycle or ebay.
sm1kla Posted March 4, 2007 Posted March 4, 2007 We had this for our kids -- they loved it & played on it daily. My little one who was 4 1/2 when we got rid of it still played on it, but it was much too small for my 7 year old (he chose to climb on it & sit on the top.) We replaced it with a big wooden one last year. We gave it to friends of ours with much younger kids, they also seem to enjoy it. http://zoomcc.richfx.com.edgesuite.net/zoomcc_littletikes/Image/Media/JPD451VA_200.jpg Little Tikes stuff surely holds up. I have a house that was my nieces (she's now 20), we used the krylon plastic spray paint to brighten it up & changed the door from pink to blue--kids love it.
Mommy2Four Posted March 5, 2007 Posted March 5, 2007 Little Tikes stuff lasts a long time and kids outgrow it fast. I got a 250.00 play set for 40.00 from up the road. Maybe check your paper, or put an add in Craigslist for people wanted to sell theirs. The clean up really easily too!
