<strong>KidKraft</strong> Deluxe Garage Playset KidKraft
KidKraft Deluxe Garage Playset

 4 stars

I picked this garage out after exhaustively researching a product that would be safe for my two year old but that he would not outgrow in six months. Most of the products targeted at 2 y.o. boys are too babyish for 2.5 y.o. boys. I admit at some level I fantasized about the Fisher Price garage we had in the 70's. Anyway, this was far and away the best product for the money on the market. Not too small or too dull, more than one level, more than one activity, accessories not too small or too big, ok for my bigger and my littler kid, and suitable for a wide range of skill levels and capacity for creative play. Other reviews complain about the construction component of this but if you are handy, it's no big deal. It took me about an hour and a half to two hours while watching tv. My biggest complaint in general about Kid Kraft is that the products are not made of solid wood and thus screws must be regularly tightened (true for our kitchen too) and occasionally some of the less durable pieces must be basically reconstructed by me (you). In general these are not toys your kids can throw across the room or sit on, but as long as you use them as intended, they handle kid play pretty well. I am having some trouble with the entry gate to the garage but I will call KidKraft this week and see if they will replace it for me. Bottom line: It is certainly as sturdy as any other wood toy out there, and probably as sturdy as some of the plastic toys. I like the KidKraft toys and I would buy them again. A little about me/us for reference: I have a two year old boy and a four year old girl. We live outside a major metropolitan area with multiple toy stores (which carried mostly unimpressive products hence the online purchase). My husband and I are both working professionals although I am home >50% of the time since I work part time. We host a lot of playdates and so far, both the kitchen and garage are holding up well."..."  Read more

I read as many reviews on push bikes as I could before ordering this and wanted to give a comprehensive review after having for a month.We ordered this for our first child and she loves it. She is 3.75 years-old and a little tall for her age. She was very excited to unpackage and assemble it with me, which was a snap, and she rode it on our laminate flooring that night. The design is such that when the bike is on its side, only the tires and the rubber handlebar grip touch the floor, i.e. no wooden parts or bolts ding my floor when it falls over.We took it outside the next day and she just wanted to ride her trike, but by the end of the day she wanted to ride "the wooden bike" more.We are fortunate to have a bunch of walking paths in the woods near our home and we prefer to ride there to enjoy the scenery, and so that fall are softer, but this bike does great on pavement, trails and indoors. The tires are knobby, but we'll never take it out in the mud and slicks or semi-slicks would be fine on the trails we'll be on.The bike is quite light and she has no trouble picking it up or pushing it. However, for the first couple weeks she was slower riding her bike than when we go "walking." That isn't entirely fair of me to say because she almost never walks and usually runs circles around me. So, she is a much faster runner than rider. She has gotten faster on the bike, but will probably always be faster on foot.When we stray far from home, I always end up carrying it a ways, and of coarse up and down any steep hills. I expected this, but thought it was worth mentioning here.The handle cut into the frame is handy, but the position/angle of the handle is a little off such that the rear wheel hangs lower than the front and I end up carrying its weight mostly on my pinky and ring fingers. Actually, I usually carry it with my hand between the handlebar grips. This is my only complaint about the bike, and isn't a big enough deal to dock the review a star. The bike is light enough for me to carry without the handle.We initially put it together with the seat in the lowest position and immediately saw that this was much too low. I moved it up to the second highest position and that looked pretty comfortable for her, but I was disappointed that she'd only fit it until she outgrew the next height.She asked a couple days ago if she could have the seat lowered and now it is in the third highest position, and looks like a fair fit, and she reports that she likes it better there. Still, I think she'll be ready for a pedal bike before she would have outgrown just one more notch.We've had to explain it to so many neighbors that she now calls it her balance bike, which is more apt.Our daughter over-steers, but is getting better and corrects well. She's had a few wrecks, but has walked away from all of them on her own. The lightness of the bike, and lack of protruding parts contribute to this.We also have a tag-along bike, a single wheel on an arm that attaches to my seatpost, a seat and a pair of pedals. I think that we'll hold off on that until she is a little taller, but between the two, I think she'll be ready for a pedal bike by next summer.We have a younger child also and fully expect the balance bike to be in great condition when he is tall enough to start riding it. It is a quality bike and will take all the riding we'll be able to give it.[...] I was willing to go as high as eighty for a used one, and was very happy to find this deal for a new one."..."  Read more

My trampoline arrived a while ago and I got to use it for a bit (am off of it for the time being, recovering from surgery). I can't say enough good things about this product. The surface is firm and has great support, giving the user a very good rebound effect. What I love about this particular trampoline is that you don't have to struggle with assembly; the legs screw into place within seconds, and you're ready to go. They can be removed just as quickly for easy storage if you are limited for space. Rebounding is a low joint-impact, great cardio workout and has been recommended for people suffering from arthritis, osteoporosis, etc. (though if you do have an ailment, check with your doctor first to see if this form of exercise would be recommended in your case). And it's FUN! It's also great for those of us who live in colder climates; on freezing winter days you can get on your trampoline for 15-20 minutes and feel great. This trampoline also comes with a sheet which has illustrations of suggested exercises you can perform while doing your workout. It also highly recommends that you do warmup stretches first, and I agree. Rebounding for a first-timer may look easy, but it can be hard on muscles that aren't used to being used. This little trampoline is durable, easy to set up and store, and the price can't be beat. Perfect!"..."  Read more
