is this toy stable enough to stand up to a rough and tough 4 year old?

Yes. It is a lot sturdier than the photo looks. The bat is solid and so is the base. The balls are the only things that are a little soft - they could probably get dented by a foot. My 4 year old has played with it a lot and it has held up surprisingly well for the price.

Yes Little Tike makes great toys. But I would think you would want to start using a small bat and a baseball T from a Sporting Goods store at four years old. If he plays Little League and has a T you would want him using their size equipment. I think they start LL at 5 years old now just a thought because at 4 he will out grow it fast. This T is more for younger kids at least that is how I feel. I hope I have been helpful.

It's not wobbly at all, particularly if you make sure to put large, heavy pots on the bottom shelves and not over-weight the top shelves, but it's not a climbing toy. You'll have to evaluate how well your toddler will listen to you.

I fought my 5 year old nephew and it held up fine, all depends on how hard you play!

Its fairly stable. You could tie down the support beam on bottom for added stability, but my 1 yr old and 4 yr old Love it! Its here to stay.

I have a very active and rough 2 year old and the rail stands up to being abused without any problems. Just be mindful that the rail may fight back, it gave my 2 year old a fat lip when she accidently slipped and fell on it.

Yes! My 4 year old still uses his and it gets thrown around all over the place. He loves it!

It depends on the child...if he or she has started playing with figurines and likes to act out play with them then I'd say yes. If not, I'd probably wait a while. But, it does seem to be pretty sturdy, so it would probably last. My children are very rough on toys and we've had it for four months and everything is still in tact. I hope this helps.

It is fairly sturdy but I do not think it will withstand the abuse from an active child. The wheels may collapse.

I bought it when my son was 2. We still have it and he is almost 4. It was difficult for him to climb for a couple months, but the slide was an instant hit. I am 5'10" and 180lbs and I slide with him on it. Not sure it would hold that weight on a constant basis, but I often find myself sitting on it with him. It has been very durable. 2 years into our purchase, and it looks brand new. I have it in a playroom, so I am not sure how it would hold up to weather, but I wouldn't be afraid to put it outside. It's a great little slide. The "rocks" you climb on have 2 different settings. That makes it a bit easier for learning to climb, then it can change to a little more difficult setting. I would recommend it, for sure. It is played on at least once a day, and has been for 2 years. Hope this helps!

No My son was 4, just keep in mind they could get hurt if on hard surface like outside or hardwood floors. But my son is pretty rough and tumble and has fallen many times on our hardwood floors and been ok. This is a great buy! He loves it!

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

Hello. I have a four year old whom loves this scooter. It is very stable with a wide base for little feet. It is easy for her to use and propels smoothly. The wheels have held up perfectly on both bricked and paved driveways. I'm sure you wouldn't be disappointed.

It is fairly sturdy. This is the second one I bought and neither of my grandchildren has experienced any problem. They both absolutely live the toy.

It's hard for me to know how small your son is, since mine has always looked about two years BIGGER than he is lol. But, even if he is on the small side I am sure he would still absolutely love it and it's something I think most 4 year olds can handle! Plus, it is something he can use for years to come and it poses no real safety risk, which was important to me. It's so low to the ground you don't have to worry about falling and moves at a easy pace. He may need a bit of help to simply "start rolling" until he gets a bit bigger, but it's easy to keep going once you get started. I hope I could be of some help!

In my opinion, I wouldn't recomemd it for a 4 year old. I bought this item for my 6 year and she tore it the first day. I do not recomemd this item. I suggest you get something durable that is going to last. Dont waste your money.

This was a concern of mine, too. I'd say it's pretty stable, but can be pulled over if they put all of their weight into it. I bought this table for my daughter right around the pulling up stage, and she toppled it maybe a couple of times. For the most part, it's fine. And even when she did pull it over, it's low enough to the ground that she didn't fall very hard. Unless you have a little daredevil, it would probably be fine.

It might be on the large side but if you get him a soft one he should be able to squish it. As he gets older, bigger and stronger he can move up to a firmer ball. They have a tacky feel to them so he is not likely to drop it. The nice part about it being on the large side for a 4 year old is that he will not choke on it. : )
