Our 8 month old son loves the ball pit and the swing. He is still a bit young for the slide, but will grow into it.

Assembly took some time and effort, but was well worth it. Best with two people.

Only concern: slide seat does not lay flush with slide... 'pinching' risk.

My husband and I got this set for our daughter when she was about 10 months old. She enjoyed playing with it then and now that she is 15 months she still is having a blast with it. We only have 250 balls and to me it's not enough, going to order another 200 or 300 more so the ball pit can be like how I remember it from "Chucky Cheese". My husband broke the attachment to the swing during a move, she never liked it anyway. It's not extremely sturdy but sturdy enough for the age recommended. Great buy.

When we first assembled this activity gym, my then 18 month old was most interested in the ball pool. She was not at all into the swing. However, after a few attempts in the swing and a trip to a play park.... the product is being fully utilized. She now loves the swing the most.

It was a breeze to assemble and it is easy to move around our deck. After a few months, the slide is the only part that has not held-up well in terms of sun fade. We read the reviews and bought 200 extra balls when we ordered the gym, which was good move, the 50 that come with item are small and not nearly adequate.

I love this product but foresee her outgrowing it by 2 1/2, at least the slide and the swing. But until then I will keep getting that nice feeling when my daughter says "swing mommy, swing!"

We bought this for our son's 1st birthday and he LOVES it! We did have to buy and extra 200 balls to add to the ballpit as it only come w/25. 250 seems perfect..not too full yet enough to have that fun ball pit atmosphere. Wish ball pit had drain...when it rains it gets full of water; have to empty out all balls to drain. I think we'll buy a tarp to cover it when not in use. Assembly wasnt too bad..only about an hour. Slide is small enough not to intimidate youngsters yet big enough to be fun. Swing is a little difficult to unbuckle. All in all I would recommend this to anyone! MY SON LOVES IT! ...as does the neighbor kid who is a year older. I think we'll get years of use out of this!

All the grandmas who see this item want to know where I bought it from because it is the perfect size for little ones. My granddaughter is 14 months and she hates to be confined, never would sit in a playpen. But she actually loves sitting in the ball pen and cries when we take her out!
I highly recommend this product.

This was the best present ever. The directions were a little hard to follow, but snaps together easily. Our daughter put in in their basement for rainy day play and for days that it is just to hot and humid to play outside. It would also be perfect for a child with no yard to play it.

I bought this play set for my son when he was 17 months, he is 2 years now. I can't have a play set outside. This fits fine in my sitting room. My son loves it. The set is sturdy, It held my 140 lbs. The slide is a great size, not too tall, but not too little that it becomes boring. The swing doesn't hang very low, so he will outgrow that first. His head will be up against the bar at the top soon. I put it together myself-so that was easy, however we were missing 2 pieces and they took 2 1/2 months to get.

The instructions are impossible to understand. Its vague pictures. I bought an additional 300 balls and it is filled.. took 2 hours to assemble. but anything for my kid. I would recommend the set. But make sure you have the time a pateince for assembly..

This did take 2 1/2 hours to put together, but it has been well worth the effort. It does need more than the 50 balls that it comes with. [...]We have 250 balls and that seems just right. The swing is a little awkward, needs to be closer to the ground so the baby dosent hit his head when you try to put him in it. But our 16 months old son loves the slide and ball pit.

I was really excited to get this playset. My husband put it together in under an hour. Then we put the 50 balls into the ball pit just to discover that they don't even cover 25% of the bottom. We had to purchase more balls. If you want the ball pit to look like the one in the catalog photo, be prepared to buy at least 400 balls to fill it up that much. We bought 600 balls and used the extra balls for a smaller ball pit we bought. My daughter (9 months) hates the swing and is too young for the slide. All she wants to do in the ball pit is remove the velcroed sides of the canvas that hold the pit together. By the time she's old enough for the slide, she'll be to big for the swing...so it's not really good for one single child because they can't use the swing and the slide without having to be two completely different ages. The ball pit is cool but it is stupid to have to buy another 400 balls just to make it fun for the kids...setting you back about the same amount it costs to buy this swing set to begin with. After one use ours just sits in the back yard collecting dust. I regret this purchase.

Bought this for our son's first birthday and was really excited about it. However one of the straps that hold the ball pit to the posts fell off as soon as we attached it, and another 1 day later. Would also like it if the pit had some way to drain water if it's outside. Overall, not really impressed with the quality of construction.

we just got this toy for my sons first birthday he loves the slide an new right away how to get down it i think the swing could have been a little better an the ball bit is great minus all the balls you have to buy i think with a end total of $205.00 it would be nice if it would have came with more then 50 balls so far we got 350 in ours an thats nowhere near enough, i no where near thought it was easy to put together if it wasnt for my boyfriend i would have sent it back

It took my husband much longer than the suggested 1 hour assembly (closer to 2), but it was well worth it. The directions are just pictures, which were sometimes difficult to follow. That definitely needs to be improved. Once assembled, the 50 balls that are included are a joke. They're very small, about the size of a large plumb, and they don't come close to covering the floor of the ball pit. The balls in the picture on the website are 2, "100 Extra Balls" plus the 50 little ones that come with it. I also purchased 1 "100 Extra Balls" and my son seems to like that amount. Any more may overwhelm him. (He's 12 months) The slide is at a good, safe angle (not too steep) and the step up to it has a net on the sides to keep the kids from falling through. The swing has a five point harness type of belt which is adjustable and works well. I also ordered the "26 Piece Puzzle Mat Letters" and the "10 Piece Puzzle Mat Numbers" to put underneath it because it's going outside on a hard surface. Overall, I'm very pleased with my purchase and would purchase again.
