How do the blocks hold up if a child stands on them?

Toddlers, no problems.. I think my children played with them until about7-8 yrs and had to jump on them to collapse them.

I would not recommend it. They are cardboard, somewhat sturdy but not enough to support a child.

I wouldn't consider them sturdy enough to stand on. Although, if your child is a petite toddler, then maybe. Mostly good for building and knocking down, driving cars through, making tunnels, etc.

they are made of sturdy cardboard, most other blocks hold up if a child stands on them.. these M&D; blocks do not hold up with normal use

They are pretty sturdy, but could not take repeated jumping, etc.. My four year old grandson can stand on one without crushing.

Jerry, I just tried it. It will stand, but you really do need to stuff them with something if you want it to stay upright. Hope that helps.

Standing up wouldn't be a problem, but if he likes to push and move things, he'd probably be able to move this no problems. I stopped using this for my son once he turned one. It was perfect for him before that.

I put four cement cinder blocks under the four pairs of feet. We have "sandy soil" here. So far, after two years, it's holding solid.

It's super sturdy. I have stood on it without a problem and weigh 190lbs. Of course, it's for kids ;)

The blocks are a good quality. They are heavy cardboard. They aren't wood, but a tad safer for children that play rough, I would think. I should think you will get your monies worth and they will be happy with their blocks.

I use mine as a free standing barrier but I do have blocks so it can't be pushed over by my strong toddlet

Good question! These blocks are for my grandson, his mother (my daughter) is a doctor. This question should be forwarded to the company that makes the block set.

These blocks are small. Our 1 year old grandson had no trouble putting a hand around the cylinders. He is 2 now and still enjoying these blocks.

They are attached to a 'puzzle piece' base which allows them to stand up independently. My daughter is now five and she still loves to play with them; they fit perfectly in her small hands.

Just attach the legs (safer shipping it sans legs, less likely to get damaged). It only took a few minutes, and my 2 year old helped. Very sturdy.

I would say they are easily tipped over by a 2 year old climbing on them. If they are just sitting it's one thing but if they are going to climb on them then they will tip over.

Your son most likely will be supporting the bulk of his weight with his legs so I don't see any problem using it well over a year plus the seat part comes off and once your son is standing on his own it can be used as a play station. Hope my answer is helpful

if child loves playing with the regular Keva blocks he won't have a problem with this set. I found that my grandson segued from the regular blocks to these just fine as he was adept at constructing things already.

Not that I've seen, but ours have held up pretty well. There are some other little building sets that come with the foam pieces, but I haven't seen them by themselves.

We have had them for about six months with no breakage. My kids aren't too rough but they aren't gentle either. They play with them regularly and there hasn't been a single issue, even with the ones my five year old has. I would say they are pretty sturdy.

They are generally pretty sturdy but some pieces might not tolerate too much rough handling. My 3 year old grand daughter likes them.
