Bright and cheerful, this Little Tikes Hide and Slide Climber is a good transition from a young toddler play experience to an older toddler climbing adventure. Climbing toys for 3 year olds should have a bit of thrill while still being sensitive to the child’s maturing motor skills, and this one embraces those qualities. The red slide is 40 inches and has a decent angle creating that bit of thrill when they get to have a longer slide down, and the wavy side rails provide something to grip for your child to steady himself.  The walls are made to be sturdy and high and enclose two sides of the climber leaving an opening for the slide and a wider opening in the back. Your child will enjoy the challenge of climbing the platforms to get to the top, which is a unique feature of this climber, platforms instead of a ladder. Below the platforms and under the slide make up the “hide” part of this climber. He can crawl under and over and wiggle in-between and use the climber as a fort, or maybe throw a blanket over the top and make it a two-story hideout (with adult supervision, of course).  Dimensions are 45.25 inches high, by 66 inches long, and 56.5 inches deep. The manufacturer recommended age is 24 months to 6 years. Click here to purchase.
