So with it being modular, do the sections have a problem with sliding around when the child is trying to play with it?

If you pay attention during assembly it shouldn't be an issue. There are grooves on the tops for the modular sections to rest in. For typical dollhouse play, it's fine, but obviously it will move if they're rough with it. It doesn't click together like legos.

All of the sections, except the top of the balcony pieces, have ridges along the edges that help hold them together. While it seems logical to an adult that you wouldn't have a room on top of a balcony, the kids still try to build it that way sometimes. :-)

Actually, yes in our case. They do not latch in any way, although they're not so slippery that they are going to fall apart badly during normal play - an occasional straightening by an older child will be all they need. But in our case, our two year old and her four-year-old brother were constantly intentionally disassembling the rooms, such that they ended up all over the room in which they were playing, and I could see that it wouldn't be long before one or more got stepped in, sat upon, or otherwise unintentionally broken - not to mention the general clutter they caused. My solution was to zip-tie most of the sections together. (A few cannot be attached in this manner because of the way the walls are built.) I did this at least 7-8 months ago, and it really solved the problem. They've basically forgotten that it comes apart at all, and I haven't had to worry about it. When they're older, I will remove the zip-ties.

The bigger sections are hard for my 3 year old. She has no problem with smaller sections. I doubt an older child would have trouble.

5 year old has been playing on it for quite some time now . He has never complained. So i would say NO

They slide pretty easily. I don't think it will be able to keep your kids off.

I don't see that being a problem. The slide is held down by a few screws and the monkey bars with some brackets, but they are not attached to any particular piece of wood that has to go on one side or the other. Honestly the monkey bars is only three bars, barely enough for any kid to even swing on before they are putting their feet back down. If I was to build it again I would just tell my husband to leave them off. The set comes with extra pieces and it would have been enough to place slats across that opening to close it up so no one would fall back. I hope this helped.

The sides are not entirely soft or rigid... For me are a little bit rigid but flexible too. I have it for my 1 year old and havent had any problems, but kids can fall on it, just have to be carefull...

Almost all of the pieces still move when pushed, so my daughter loves it. We rarely turn it on. She seems to get a little scared of all of the noises.

I don't have s problem with sliding. I have a 1 year old that plays with the curtain all the time too, and we have never had an issue. No matter what it's not possible for it to slide off due to the end design.

My Grand daughter loves her Rocking rider, she is 16 months old now, got it for 1st B-Day. It is still set up in the rocking position, it does not move around on hard wood. We have not put it on carpet. If it did slide on carpet I would put a piece of sticky Velcro to hold it in place.

I'm wondering about this as well...seems like it would have this issue. I just got one but am concerned about using it until my 4 month old can roll in all directions and right himself if need be.

I guess it depends on the child. We purchased it for a 2 yr. old and he went right for it and had no trouble playing with it.

mine sticks out and i have had several kids at a time playing and have never had a problem. unless someone jumps directly on it you won't have a problem.

No. But it has been a non-issue for me. The pieces stay firmly in place for us.

No it doesn't. I haven't had any problems with it tipping over or anything. But I have 3 yr old twins so they're pretty light, but they're dad & I play on it also& still no issues.

I personally did not have this particular problem with my children. Now that I am thinking about it, perhaps it was because I always had the piano catty cornered where they could still access all the features but a wall or a piece of furniture was behind 2 out of 3 sides thereby making it hard for the child to pitch backwards and taking the piano with it. The side with the piano keys always seemed stable. Hope this helps.

We've had ours for over a year and not had the issue of sliding around on carpet. I will say, though, that my little guy tends to bounce up and down rather than "rock", so that may be part of the difference. We have gotten a ton of use out of it and he has finally outgrown it. Would highly recommend to others.

It is not. I have it in a corner so it's not a problem, but I imagine it would slide around if it were in the middle.

The Little People we have fit in the pods on the sides and in the center, but they don't fit to slide down from the side pods to the main floor. My kids don't care though. They don't really use the slides even with the Octonaut figures.
