Side by Side Comparison of: Little Tikes

Packaging looked like it had been thru a hurricane, but the Dome is awesome. My grandson LOVES IT

I haven't used this outside yet so not sure about that. I set it up in the daycare and the kids are having a blast with it. I was able to put it together without any help. So very pleased so far

We have it in our formal living room space since it's a bit cold out now and my son and husband have a great deal of fun with it.

The kids loved this bought it for 1year old and three year old.

My 4 year old loves it we put it in her room and she's been sleeping in it all night!!!

My 15 month old grandson loves this. It big enough fro him to climb on and under, small enough to put in the diningroom during the winter month.

My kids love this but the bottom pieces do not fit to the sides. It was hard to get together also.

Good for indoors during the winter, though don't underestimate just how big it is. Kid uses it more for a playhouse than a climber. Loses a star because the orange connector pieces on the bottom fail to connect. Seems to be due to a fault in the molding - using it fine without those pieces though.Honestly there are probably better climbers out there for the price but if you are set on this style it is good for what it is.

My DH and I found this very easy to put together. Having 2 people made it easier but I could have done it alone. We did find that one of the bottom pieces didn't fit correctly but it hasn't seemed to be an issue. If it is we will glue or cement it together. My 9 month old is very excited about it but she hasn't quite figured out what to do with t yet. We have it inside in our sunroom with foam mats underneath it. Oh and the tunnel does attach. It has a little Velcro piece that clips on.

I run a state licensed child care in my home ... the children love it !!!

Little hard to keep together at bottom, but the boy is having fun with this.

The orange connecting pieces below the 3 openings do not stay together at all. They constantly pop off which is quite annoying. On the plus side, our sons love their new "fort."

Bought this for my monkey toddler and 4yr old but they got bored of it quickly.

Poorly designed. The parts don't fit well together.

The instructions are horrid. I finally turned the whole thing over and put it together upside down, which made it much easier.We've had it a few weeks now, and everything seems stable. There are no screws, bolts, or tools required. This makes it nice around younger children. The older boys, 4 and 7, enjoy playing on it. They add a blanket over the top and it makes a nice cave.The tunnel itself is pretty worthless. It seems like they added it as an afterthought. It doesn't connect to the dome in any way and doesn't fit as snug as the picture suggests. The boys have just gotten rid of it, but they like the dome well enough.I think it's a good purchase, as long as you know what you're getting into.

I got the Tunnel N Dome for my 18 mo old daughter. Well, she takes 3 steps and is at the top. Also, it took me, a young athletic mom, and my neighbor to put it together. And the bottom base pieces don't even connect. It was a total waste of money.

The orange connecting supports do not fit. They are deformed where they join. All 3 of them. I thought that perhaps we just had received a bad lot, but there are other reviews that report the same issue.

Fell apart easily. Clip snapped that hold the pieces together making it useless.

Very disappointed. I have owned a lot of little tikes outdoor toys and this one is really flawed. First off, it has a wimpy weight limit and when multiple kiddo's are playing on it it will push those weight limits with ease. Secondly, it seriously thin for being little tikes. I have never seen or owned an outdoor playset from little tikes that you can grab and squeeze the walls because the plastic is so thin. Lastly, the base has these supports under the openings that are supposed to simply clip in but they can smash the plastic and no longer clip in correctly because the plastic clip areas are too thin and crumple. Seriously, somebody needs to get fired in the R&D department.BTW, yellow and orange plastic fades the quickest which is annoying.

This review is more about overall quality than the dome itself. I bought this dome at toys r us at a great price. Of course the instructions are poorly written,have unclear diagrams and no further help on line. Everything little tikes make is made from cheap molded plastic that deforms and doesn't fit right. The bottom connector pieces of the openings of the dome do not stay connected and continually pop out from their poorly molded and even more poorly fitting notches. I guess I am the fool because I have had similar experiences with little tikes before. Their customer service was helpful when contacted in the past. THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME I BUY LITTLE TIKES! I would take this back if my son wasn't already climbing all over it as I assembled it. Beware little tikes.
