I got the Step 2 All Star Sports Climber for my 17 month old son, and he is crazy about it. I wanted to find a safe and positive place to direct him when he wanted to climb and this is perfect. I also wanted to have something that my son could play with inside that wasn't too small or flimsy and would not take up too much room in our fairly small house. This climber is the perfect size for an indoor play area, is very sturdy, and best of all my son loves everything about it. The rock climbing wall is a perfect alternative to a more traditional ladder because his foot can't slip through the back. He likes taking toys up with him and tossing then through the basketball hoop or the football goal at the top. The soccer goal area makes for a fun fort too. The support bar at the bottom took some effort for my husband to put in, but that just makes it more sturdy so it is not a problem. I would highly recommend this toy to anyone with a child that is 1 year to 3 or 4 years old. It is well worth the money and being made in the USA is a great plus too. I'm sure my son will play with it for many years.

After much research, we recently gave this kitchen to our 2-year-old son, and we all LOVE it. It has already generated hours and hours of fun.

This product comes with the following extras: two bowls, two plates, two spoons, two knives, two special pans with lids (one sizzles, one boils- even making the sound of water hitting the burner!), two cups, one phone (which also generates sound), and salt & pepper shakers. (You will need to buy food.)

We chose this product for a number of reasons:
- It provides just the right amount of sounds. We wanted to have some sound effects, but not so many that it inhibited creativity. This has the perfect combo.

- The doors to the appliances open like real appliances-- unlike other toy kitchen sets we looked at.

- It is sturdy and a good height. He won't outgrow it for a while.

- There is plenty of storage space (three drawers and a cabinet- plus the refrigerator and stove), good counter space, and the cutest little dish shelf. Other kitchen sets offered extras such as dishwashers, but nothing in this range offered the same amount of counter and storage space. It really helps make it feel like a real kitchen.

The only cons:

- I wish it had a full-sized refrigerator, but most kitchen sets don't. And I knew that when I bought it, so I can't really complain!

- The "magic" burner which generates the sounds doesn't sit quite level. But it doesn't inhibit play, and our son hasn't noticed at all.

It did take my husband about an hour to put it together (with stickers), but he actually said he enjoyed putting this toy together.

All in all, we are thrilled with this kitchen set and know we made the right decision. It was well worth the money to hear my son yell while he is cooking, "I did it!" You can't go wrong with this kitchen!
