Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Advantages: sturdy, strong, robust, attractive, compact
Disadvantages: difficult to assemble, not as much fun as it could be

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Most crèches or children?s play areas seem to have one of these activity gyms and they looked bright and colourful so we decided to get one for my brothers first birthday. The activity gym as shown in the picture is made up of four side panels, each with holes in for the child to climb through. There is a small bright pink slide and a blue floor, which the children can go under or climb on to go down the slide. As we unpacked the activity gym it looked relatively simple to assemble, as it was really just a case of slotting the panels together but don?t be fooled! It was not at all easy to assemble although the only consolation is that if it was that difficult to put together its going to be near impossible for it to fall apart! The brightly...

Review of Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

Fun for little tikes!

Advantages: Bright and fun
Disadvantages: Bit small

...This Little Tikes Activity Gym is great for young children and creates a fun environment which is also safe. The activity gym comes in a large box which contained all the parts. The instructions were clear and easy to follow. Looking at the gym all you needed to do is slot in the pieces. This was true as the pieces did have to be slotted together but getting them together was the hard bit. You need someone strong who can force the sections together but at least the instructions are easy to follow so you don't go wrong (imagine having to undo it and reassemble it!). The activity gym is brightly coloured meaning more fun for the children. Be warned that the colours do not remotely blend in with any surroundings so don't be alarmed when you have this bright coloured object in the middle of your garden. The slide is quite short which...

Review of Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym

A playground for little tikes

Advantages: Keeps kids active
Disadvantages: none

...I have seen this plastic playground at a child?s play facility that I visited the child accompanying me enjoyed playing on it. Cost ~~~~ £499.99 from http://www.littletikes.co.uk Fitting and fixing ~~~~~~~~~~ This playground will come flat packed. I have not put this one together, but if it?s like other little tikes equipment it should not be beyond the capabilities of mum and dad to put together. Suitability and positioning ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These Little Tikes 8 in 1 adjustable playground is really suited for playgroups or nursery maybe a pub garden. It would be good in your garden if you have more than 1 less than 6 year old. Try not to put this under tree as birds will leave their messages on it. This playground should really be positioned on grass or specially designed soft flooring. Age...

Little Tikes for your Little Mites!

Advantages: Robust, large range, longevity
Disadvantages: expensive disapointed with some products

...As most people know Little Tikes is a well known brand of Children?s toys. Their toys are renowned for being very robust and lasting years, as well as being on the pricey side. But hey as someone famous once said, "You get what you pay for". So you may be asking yourself from what prospective am I writing this review and how much does she know about Little Tykes? Well I got a son whose nearly 2 and he?s one of them typical little boys who loves climbing things and is generally a bit rough with his outdoor toys! And in our household we have a small slide and swing set (£100), a 2nd hand log cabin (£75), rocking horse (£10), sand and water table (£50), picnic bench (£40), a police car coupe(£30), a trike (c.£25) and a range of indoor toys too.

Review of Little Tikes

zoom zoom, watch out theres a little tike about

Advantages: robust
Disadvantages: none

...Zoom zoom zoom watch out here comes that little tike he nearly knocked you over on the school playground. Little tikes cosy coupe cars have been around in school playgrounds for years. The company was founded in 1970. About the same time as I began my career in childcare. I think the cosy coupe has been around for nearly that long, as I seem to recall children playing with them forever. The cosy coupe is a red car with a yellow roof. This car is for 1 only, no passenger seat. It is foot powered not pedal powered. The child sits in it and scoots the car around. Access is on one side it has a door that opens. At school we have the older basic version there is a new model. Lots of info at www.littletikes.com. The new model has a higher back and an ignition switch also a petrol tank with a lid that opens and closes...

Review of Little Tikes Cosy Coupe

Here comes the little tike in a police car.

Advantages: super for childs play
Disadvantages: no

...NEE NAA NEE NHAAA NEE NAAA. Watch out here come the police in the little tikes patrol police car, its been driven by a 4 year old the police man could be between the age of 1 and 5 as it will be big enough inside for them. There is only room for one patrol officer in this car and no space for prisoners behind him. This police patrol car is a version of the cosy coupe you often see children driving around in these cars from little tikes are very popular in childcare settings This car is ideal for the playground or inside in a large space. I did see one at toddler's world at the leisure centre in Dunstable. As you might imaginer this car is made out of plastic coloured blue with the word police on the doors (there are 2). There is a roof over the top of the car it is not an open vehicle. (Ideal little Johnny then can...

Review of Little Tikes Patrol Police Car

Little Tikes Heaven

Advantages: Great for smaller children
Disadvantages: They'll need a lot of pushing about before they get the idea

...I love Little Tikes toys. If I had my way, I would have a little village in my garden, made up of the Little Tikes playhouses; the country cottage, log cabin and patio playhouse (to name but a few). There would be half a dozen cozy coupes, plus the police car variant and the monster truck, as well as a dinky little petrol station. It would look great with all those bright primary colours and would last for ages and ages. Kids would come to play in my garden from miles around, there?d be milk and cookies and the sun would always shine???......Hmmmm. Got a little carried away there, wot. Hey, you kids, SCAT! As I was saying??I am a great fan of Little Tikes toys. You know, the ubiquitous red and yellow bubble shaped car that you push along with your feet and the tough but imaginative playhouses which are a feature of any...

Review of Little Tikes Cozy Push & Ride Car

Little Tikes 5-in-1 Gym really entertains!

Advantages: entertaining, grows with child, fun
Disadvantages: very light so baby can push it away

...on the market where you spend the same amount of money or more and the baby only uses it for a few months. The negatives I can think of is that because it is so light when my baby kicks it sometimes it moves a little so eventually she's kicked it so much that she can no longer reach the toys. To counteract this I just put a book behind it so she cant push it away. There is also no volume control which may be useful for some although for me it's fine as i don't mind the noise of the songs! This is available from Argos and other shops where you can buy toys for approximately £35 which as far as I am concerned is a bargain considering how long you will use it for compared to other baby products on the market like other gyms and bumbos....
