Safe indoor play equipment? I have a 3 year old Autistic child and would like to set this up in our large playroom, my question: is this sturdy and safe to use in home?

This play set is extremely sturdy and well made. We set it up inside and our guy really likes it there. We live in Montana so I understand the need to have it indoors.

It works great as a sensory play table in doors. It's sturdy, but pretty light and not weighted down. I would worry it could be pulled over by a child using it to pull themselves up.

I've used mine several times with my now 3.5 year old son, it hasn't broken yet. It isn't as stable as I'd like it to be, but he still plays with it as a toy even though I haven't travelled with him more than a handful of times.

This is great for INDOOR play. I do not think it is sturdy enough to handle any of the outdoor elements. Any breeze would probably blow it over/away.

The toy is sturdy and if your daughter is not heavy for her age, it should be ok. My grandson is a big boy and he was able to pull himself up with an adult nearby. Yes, it did tip on occasion but is not dangerous. It is a fun toy for all kids!

Hi Katie,I had to buy extension panels so she (10 months daughter) could attempt to crawl. Otherwise she would not have anywhere to go. I actually combined to sets together to giver her an even larger play area. It was great for play dates too because at least 3 adults and 3 babies could comfortably fit in there at the same time.Our daughter is very close to waking now (14 months) and we were thinking of selling her play pin. It is in immaculate condition. Let me know if you are interested.Thanks,Karla

I purchased it for 2 and 4 years old grandchildren and it is dangerous for 2 year old! 4 year old loves it but with older friends. I'm thinkiing she will use it for several years! He is big and will grow into it.. It is extremely sturdy. Has a place for a lock so little ones can't use it. There's is kept locked for safety.It is perfect for older kids!

Did you end up using this for the playground ? I am considering this item or similar to put under an outdoor play area in my house for my kids. Any other recommendation ?

Yes it should be ok . Unless the child is real heavy, it's pretty strong. Hope this helped have fun.

My 3 year old does love it and has no problem putting together or taking projects apart. My 6 year old the same but she towers over the top of the back part so to play with it she has to bend over to do so although they both like to play with the pieces making things on the floor so no biggie. Once again hope this helps

It's not intended for indoors, but if you had the space, I suppose you could use it for indoors. It's made to go outside.. It has a couple little steps, goes to a landing to the slide. My 2 yr old loves it!! I say it's good for 18 month to probably 3 yrs. Hope that helps

Yes absolutely! We bought this for Christmas. It is still getting played with everyday. It will surprise you how much room the house has. I have a 3 year old son who likes to mess with his sister by crawling inside this house. He curls up in a ball and fits in. Drives his sister crazy but the house is so big and very sturdy.

I don't think it would be sturdy enough for extended use in a daycare center. If you are talking about a home daycare with occasional use, it would be fine. Make sure the bottom board is down when the ends are locked open, before moving. I moved mine while it was up during assembly and a screw head broke off on one latch.

I bought it for a friend of mine. Her son's 1st birthday. She said it's his favorite and sturdy. He started to walk at 13m old. With that said, I've seen a multitude of parents blaming a toy for being inept, when in fact their child just couldn't walk well, which wobbly walking is normal. My son used something similar, but started walking about 9 months old. Long story short....depends on the child and how willing the parents are to not place blame.

Mine held up fine. My son is 2 and very energetic. The microphone might be easily lost. Otherwise, we have no problems.

My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old. The house itself is pretty durable, but things like the windows and doors are, frankly, flimsier than I would like. For the price of the house, I was a bit surprised at this. My daughter is very gentle with her toys, but I felt even for her I had to remind her, please play gently. The furniture is pretty durable overall, but again, for the price of this stuff, some of it is shoddy. The tub faucet broke off in about 5 minutes and the legs on the chairs are really thin and I feel like could snap in a minute. I love the house, how it lights, etc., but I am just hoping it lasts until my daughter is older. My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old.

I set it up in our living room for my son on his second birthday. I put books and snacks inside and he never had a problem. He crawled in and out all the time. I never felt there was anything that put him in danger (choking etc). It's pretty sturdy especially with a really active 2 year old running around.
