Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

The product is great! The directions to put this together leave a lot to be desired. Clear directions save time, unclear directions with guesses about sizes of screws and bolts just waste time. Why would a company that has such a superior product have such poor directions. We have put hundreds of toys together over the years and these directions get a D-.

Service & Delivery comments:

This product is great! The directions are awful. They are not clear about sizes of bolts and screws. This causes a lot of guessing which takes time and is frustrating. I would give the product an A but the directions deserve a D-.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I run a childcare from my home and have this product for the children that vary in ages from 2 to 10. It is one of the favorite play equipment in the playground.The children seem to love it and enjoy it very much. The only thing we hardly use are the swings don't like the material in ropes and how they can splinter their little hands. I removed the swings. Other than that it is a good product.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We've had the playset with swings for about 3 weeks now. It was difficult to assemble in that the instructions are very poor - pictures seem incomplete and wording is not very helpful. Nonetheless, my husband and I were able to put it together in under 2 hours.

Our youngest daughter is only about 18 months now, so a bit young, but she is learning to climb the step of the playhouse and thoroughly loves the slides (she sits and pushes herself down). Even at her young age, the slide is sturdy enough that I feel comfortable letting her slide down without my hand holding. We purchased a separate toddler swing, which attaches easily to the clips, and now she can also swing with some close supervision, but without having to hold her.

I did find that the playhouse and slide are much narrower than expected. My 9 year old is about average build and she cannot fit her rear on the slide. So, stick to the recommended ages of 3-8, I guess.

The size of the swing set is great for our toddler. He seems to love the compartment under the slide with the swinging door. Thats his favorite part!

Service & Delivery comments:

I think the directions could be a little more clear. We had a difficult time getting the bolts and parts to match and fit. I called customer service because I thought we had been given the wrong box of parts, and I got a really rude, unhelpful person.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This has served my kids well. The only problems I've had are the swings not going straight and the swing ropes have frayed and leave sprinters. I had to wrap them with duck tape so it didn't hurt their hands. The ropes really need to be made from a different material.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I bought this product used from someone....and even though its over 5 years old....its in great condition. I got it when my son was 7months old (we only used a toddler swing at the time) and now he is 2 and a half. He loves this set. We have other step 2 swings we bought because he is young.

My only COMPLAINT is that the playhouse underneath is really short. my son is tall for his age, but I still think that the slide platform should be a little bit higher up making more room for the kids underneath it.

Great product!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This is great for my three kids. All three kids can get up it and down it without a problem. Two of my sons have mild Cerebral Palsy, and even the one who can't walk (but can crawl, climb and stand a little) can get up the ladder with minimal to no help. The slide is perfect for my daring 5 year olds and is a little scary for my 19 month old. The swings work great, but after 2 years the ropes are fraying and leave rope "splinters" in my kids hands. I wish the ropes on the swings were made with something a little better than the ropes that came with it. Also, the swings get off balance fairly easy and will swing sideways until fixed. Not a huge issue unless you have twins or two children swinging on them at once and then bumps could happen.

Service & Delivery comments:

I think the swings could be improved. The ropes fray and leave splinters over time and they come off balance a lot.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

It was easy to install (so the boys say), and it looks great in the back yard. Very sturdy, and easy to clean when the birds decide to "drop" on it. Only wish the swings had adjustable ropes. Love the ropes - easier on little hands.

Service & Delivery comments:

I would make the swings adjustable - they are too high for my 4 year old grandson to get on. I also wish (after thought) that the climbing area had a top on it - but not a show stopper by any means.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

My daughter is nearly two and LOVES this swing set. Her favorite aspect seems to change constantly: she'll spend hours on the swings one week and then climb the ladder and ride the slide hundreds of times the next. She loves to hide in the house too and operate the door. She always wants me to come in there too...it's a tight fit for an adult, but we've had so much fun playing together. This swing set was worth the asking price after the first month of use, and was built to last for years more fun!

It is great! My granddaughter loves it! It should have come with a ships wheel and a periscope or binonculars. That was the first thing my granddaughter said, "where is the wheel?" We have purchased one off of the internet but not exactly sure how it will work out. Step 2 should at least make those accessories available.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

Overall, I didn't have too hard a time putting this together- but I wonder how some 'assembly challenged' people out there are able to get this together. The instructions are about 95 % pictures with no directions at all...and the few words there are seem to contradict the pictures (???). About 1/4 of the way through, I pretty much threw them away and just figured it out on my own.

My advice is- pitch the 9/16" "socket" they provide...you'll get yourself frustrated trying to tighten the bolts with that, a screwdriver and a pair of pliers (???)...get a socket driver (9/16th) and a combination wrench (9/16th) and you'll save yourself a lot of time and aggravation!

Other than these two issues, I think it will be a fine product until my 1 year old gets over 50 pounds...my 9 year old weighs about 55 pounds and it's a little scary having her on it- and it's rated to 75 lbs per swing!

Have a blessed day...

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

[...]We bought it for our 1 1/2 yr old son who loves climbing, etc. He really enjoys the swing and doesn't even need a baby swing. The playhouse part underneath is great too, even tall enough for him to stand up....but not for too much longer. Assembly wasn't terrible, but make sure you put the swingset pole on the right way, or you have to disassemble everything to fix it! The only con is that the slide area seems a bit narrow and wished they would have some extra features, like a wheel or lookout thing on it to play with. But we love it!!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

My son received this as a first birthday present from his grandma. After the wrong set was delivered, Step2 gave us NO problems and immediately corrected the problem and sent out the correct set. Their customer service was fabulous and is the reason I ordered through them even though I found it slightly cheaper somewhere else.

My son loves the slide and swings. We had to purchase a baby swing for him since he's not even one yet--I wish it came with one. He loves to climb up the slide and up the stairs.

The only major con is that the directions are all pictures and don't have words. My husband had some difficulty putting some parts together and had to call another family member over to help him. Also, 2 bolts wouldn't go where they were supposed to so he had to buy new ones. The metal for the swings is already slightly rusting and it's only been outside for a week! I have heard horror stories about other types of swing sets being even more difficult to assemble so I guess it's not that bad.

Overall though, it's a beautiful set that will hopefully last a few years before my son gets bored with it and needs something bigger. Customer service is so important and we were thrilled with the response from Step2. We would definitely recommend this to others!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We purchased this swingset for our 1.5 yr old daughter, as the playsets in our neighborhood are just too "big kid" for her just yet. She absolutely LOVES the toddler swing. We had some of her little friends over (ages 3 and 5) and they all had a great time playing on it together. It took my husband and a friend about 5-6 hours to put together, but they had all the kids in toe a the same time! It is lots of fun, but really recommended for small children up until maybe 5 or 6. Past that they may be too big, as it is really a small unit.

My 2 yr old loves his new swingset and I am glad that we bought it. We only had one problem which was that one of the stakes broke in half as it was being pounded into the ground. My husband had to go to [...] and buy another one.

Instructions were not explicit. Had to take apart playhouse a few times to correctly install pole for swings. So, note to you, don't attach the top red post that goes across playhouse until you've attached swings.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We have a 2 year old and she loves it. It is so cute, because she calls it the park. (because for her size, she thinks it is huge like the park play grounds)
For us, the parents, we like it because it is more her size and we feel that she is safer on it when comparing it to the standard size play yards.
The only problem or dislike is that it didn't come with directions on how to put it together. I don't if it was a mistake by the company or a norm.

Step2 Response: Thank you for taking the time to complete the review. The directions should have been included in the box. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This is a great play set. Our 2 1/2 year old and his friends love it. My husband found it easy to assemble. Pay attention to the ceiling height of the club house under the slide - many children won't be able to stand up. We didn't think this through initially; fortunately, our son doesn't care and he crawls around inside and climbs in and out of the different openings.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We got this swing set/slide because our back yard space is limited. THis product is perfect for out 2 daughters (4 & 2 years old). Since we didnt have enough room for one of those big wooden playgrounds we choose this one becuase the slide is big enough for our 4 year old to side down without her legs hitting the ground before she even went down the slide! and the swings are perfect! we added a toddler swing for the 2 year old which hooks on easily and works great! The assembly was really easy too (only complaint is the way the hardware was packaged it was a little confusing) I hope this set holds up becuase so far we love it! (so do the kids! )

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This swingset is perfect for my 22 month old daughter and it should provide several years of fun. She is already able to climb the slide, and she absolutely loves the playhouse underneath. The playhouse is a little short and she'll have to bend over before long, but kids don't really mind. The one complaint I have is that the directions were a nightmare--the swingset comes in two different boxes with two sets of directions. However, my husband put it together (with a little help from me) in about 4 hours. Overall, excellent swingset!

We purchased this swingset for our daughters 1st birthday and she loves it! We also purchased an infant swing to replace of the big kid swings for now and it attached with no problem. My only con is that the slide is a bit steep for her but I do realize that she is only 1. I am so excited about this I believe it is something that she will continue to grow into and enjoy.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

So far our son loves this swing set! It took my husband and father about an hour and a half to put it together. The said the instructions weren't the best. They said the sequence wasn't totally correct and they had to undo a few things to get it together correctly. They say make sure you read all instructions before you start. Also, the hardware wasn't in one bag, but in several and they had to open all bags and sort through, at first they thought they were missing pieces. Also, they recommend you have a socket wrench because they one that comes w/ the kit isn't that great
But...as for our son he loves it! We purchased the toddler swing until he can grow into the big boy swing...and he can't get enough. My only complaint, is that the plastic gets very hot, but that is to be expected.
We love this and would recommend to anybody who is looking for a nice set.

I bought the swingset for my 22 month old niece, it is really great, I bought a toddler swing to replace one of the regular swings. The only problem I had was assembling the swing set part, the direction aren't really straight forward when it come to installing the bar so I put it all together, then had to take it all apart to fix the bar so that I could put the swings up. Other than that its great!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

My daughter loves the swing! She can swing for hours! The slide is great because it doesn't go straight into the ground. Instead, it flattens out just enough at the bottom to keep my daughter from hitting the ground. The little club house under the slide is fun, too. My daughter really hasn't explored this, yet, but she will love it!

Our 21 month old son loves this set. He points to the backyard everyday and exclaims "OUTSIDE" ever since we got this swing set. Very sturdy and provides lots of fun for an active toddler. My husband and father- inlaw put it together in about 1 1/2 hours( would have been less if we had a sledge to hammer in the stakes). We are very satisfied.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I brought this for my 2 1/2 yr old and he couldn't wait for my husband to finish putting it together. It took my husband at least 1-4 hours due to very poor instructions; he was frustrated after he was done putting the product together, but after it was up our Son was so happy playing in the club house and slide it took all the disappointment of putting the unit together away. One more thing...only anticipate getting 1-4 yrs of play out of this product, not recommendated for tall or thick boned toddlers; slide is narrow.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I had one issue assembling the swingset. The pin that secured the extension to the playhouse was at an angle even though the level indicated everything was aligned. When we watched the video, they kind of glossed over this part with a freeze frame, not showing if the pin was similarly at an angle. Finally we gave up, lifted the playhouse and secured the pin, but I'm worried the screw might pop out.

It took us about 2 hours to put together with our daughters "help".

Very sturdy. Easy to assemble. My daughter can't stop pointing out the back window at it (which of course means, "Hey, take me out!"). You sent me an extra packet of one of the nuts/bolts, but I ended up using a couple of the longer bolts from the extra packet. I also reversed the bolts at the top of the slide so they would point out. Great purchase. Thanks Step2!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I went online and looked and looked for a swing set. The wooden ones sounded like a nightmare in that people said it took three people three days to put together. Looked at the Step2 website and all the reviews were consistant; "very easy to put together; took my husband 3 hours to put together; has been taken down and put together for three different families". Who wouldn't take a chance with review like that. Well, it was delivered and Grandpa had half of it put together before I even got home and did the rest the next day. He has even taken it apart and put it together to move it to another part of the yard which was more level. The grandchildren came to visit last week and love it. They really love the little house underneath and love looking out the windows. I put up the toddler swings because the regular seats are too big for them. Overall, it was great experience and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

we are a step 2 family! our son is 2 years old and we as parents feel it is the best stuff out there! American made plastics, safe, cute, & fun for the kids..what more can you ask for?

this playhouse climber is just right for our son and his little 2-3 year old friends in the neighborhood. we love the way it looks, it is very safe and sturdy, and worth the $$. With Step 2 you get what you pay for: fun, good, safe stuff that kids really love! oh, and it only took my husband 2 hours to put together by himself!--really easy!

[only little issue is my husband did have to go the hardware store to get longer stakes to anchor it..not a big deal but heads up!]

We bought this playset for our 18 month old son and he loves it. He likes to climb up the ladder and go down the slide over and over again. The slide is not very slippery so I don't have to worry about him sliding off onto the ground. We also liked that the playset came with iron stakes to secure it into the ground. We have extremely high winds in our area and the playset hasn't moved at all.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We purchased this for my Daughter's 4th Birthday. She loves it, and was so excited. Her favorite part is the swing and the little play house. My son is 19 months and I was a little worried but, I had no reason to be. Yes it's a bit high for him at the top, but with a little coaching he had the hang of it in a few minutes. I guess if I had to pick out some cons they would be that my Daughter is already climbing out the side holes by the slide and of course her brother follows, but it's not a babysitter. Although, it's pretty close to it. [...] Oh yeah, it's way smaller than it seems in the picture. You can't see it above my 8ft fence. I like that it's kinda hidden.

Can almost put it together myself (5'3" woman). Would recommend that you do it on a flat surface, not your lawn. Also recommend that you find a socket wrench to ensure that things are tightened up well.
My daughter loves it, she's 18 months old and should be using it for at least a couple years. Better than Rainbow Systems for anyone at this age.

My husband and son-in-law had some difficulty putting the set together. In fact they put the swing bar on upside down and had to take part of the set apart and start agin.

I bought this swing set for my 20 month old son. He loves it! It's really sturdy and the perfect size for him. Also it has a play house underneath the slide which is great for him to play in and to store his toys when he is done playing.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We have a smaller back yard and did not want an extremely large swing set. I loved the look and reputation of the step two natrually playful series. [...] I was disappointed to see that the clubhouse up top is smaller than it appears in the picture, as is the slide. The slide is narrow and overall the set is not as sturdy as it should be or appears to be. I am hopeful that the color doesnt fade, and that it doesnt break over the next few years.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This climber/swingset combo was a 1st birthday gift and our daughter loves it. She can't climb up the ladder yet, but she will "grow" into this swingset. There are lots of comments on how small this set is, so I actually measured it out. I thought the size seemed ok until we received it. It does look small, but to my daughter it must seem huge. This is not a swingset for older children. I know we will get several years out of it since we got it so early. Easy assembly (I did most of it by myself) and it took about two hours. The quality is great and I have a lot of confidence in Step2 products.

I bought the product for my 5th grandaughter's first birthday. After buying metal swingsets for the older ones - I LOVE the looks of the Step 2. [...] The swingset was a little difficult to put together for my son-in-law (3 hrs) because the directions were a little confusing. The screws didn't seem to match holes. Maybe color coding would help. I am looking forward to adding more products to the yard - picnic table, kitchen, house....

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I bought this set for my grandson I care for him all day while his parents are at work. Although he's still too little to use it, he's 13 months, I put him on the slide and he loves it, I didn't want to spend money on something that he would outgrow too quick. I know that this will last a long time because it is very sturdy and best of all it's all plastic (good for safety). I know that my grandson will enjoy climbing it and have fun when he's a little older.
Assembly was a little tricky but fast. It took my husband and brother-in-law less than 2 hours to put it together.

We love this playground. It was easy to put together, all the pieces fit just right. The swings were preassembled and just clip in. The only difficult part was the instructions didn't make it clear that certain steps had to be done first so we did have to take a small part back apart and reassemble it, but even that wasn't difficult.

My word this thing was a pain to assemble, it took two of us and was no easy task. It's very cool though; two swings that hold up to 75lbs and a small play structure with side -- perfect for a medium or small back yard. We live in WA state and from what I can tell it will survive our wet weather. My preschooler LOVES this set and I'm really happy with it.

For those who complain about the nylon ropes we went to our local hardware store and purchased rubber tubing spliced it down the middle and used it as a covering over the ropes--problem solved.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

The instruction set is really not good. The images are difficult understand, steps are missing, the parts are not well labeled as to where to use them in construction. Also, I had some challenges getting the horizontal pole properly mounted into the slide portion. Very tight fit with the pieces and the bolts a little too short to begin threading them. The mounting stakes are long, at about 12 inches and require using a sledge if you have clay or rocky soil.
However, my two-year old loves it. The playhouse is a great touch. The swing is a little too high to sit on by herself, but she'll grow into it. It would also be nice to have some other "swing" accessories besides the toddler seat and a standard swing.

She loves the swings. This is perfect for a small area as well. We don't have a big back yard but this is perfect size. This was a gift from her Grandparents and she couldn't have gotten anything better.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I first bought this unit (at least the version from about 10+ years ago) for my nephew's kids. As they grew out of it, he gave it to his sister who also had 2 small kids (toddler and baby). Now they have outgrown it and another one of my sisters who has become a new mother has now inherited it. It has served 3 families so far.

I noticed somewhere else in these posting someone complained about the nylon ropes being rough. That was the same case here, but 10+ years of exposure to sun and wear and tear will make that happen to nylon. Replacement swings are available at very nominal costs and I replaced both swings (one for a baby) and the other regular swing) for around $50. I wondered if the person who had the rough ropes was trying to use an old unit that has been passed around like mine?

Anyway, I can't remember what I paid for it, but with a little investment, it has now served 3 families.

I have transported the unit to all 3 families and it has given 10+ years of service combined (with a little a little fading). The plastic parts are completely intact. I have also replaced some of the hardware for appearance sake (they had gotten rusty) but once again the cost is very nominal when ordering through the toll-free number).

Customer care on the phone is great when you have questions.

This was a great product, we actually use it a little younger than the recommended age and swapped out one of the swings for our 21 year old girl. She goes crazy for this.

My husband had it together in two hours and it was simple. The only drawback that we found is that there are big holes at the platform that are on the side of the tower. With a little one, you really have to watch this section that they don't jump out. Otherwise, this is the best money I've spent in a long time!

I previously wrote a review of this product saying it was great, but had some bolts that were to long and protruded a little bit (kinda unsafe) but I improvised and help the kids not get caught on them.

How great is that. Other sites you have to fight with to try and get stuff fixed, but this one volentered!

I was really worried after reading all the reviews on line. Most people said that it was a difficult assembly. It took us 2 hours from start to finish and was not too bad. Our recommendation would be to not bolt it to the ground until after it is assembled. This makes it much easier.
other than that, the instructions were fairly strait forward and my daughter loves her new playset and swings. YAHOO

There were definitely a couple of flaws with how it should be assembled, but we worked around that. The swings are also very long and not adjustable. Good color scheme. Great features; the slide, little playhouse, climbing wall, and swings. The slide is a bit narrow. Pretty sturdy once set up.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

Great for even me to swing on, lots of fun. My 12 yr old just loves it. Bought it a couple of months ago but just put it together about 3 weeks ago along with another Step 2 product; easy to put together. It's outside along with the other, however unlike them this product has had some fading. Within a week the swings changed color and the orange door on the side of the playhouse is dripping the orange color onto the base of the playhouse. We still love step 2 products, that's one of the many reasons we bought it but I'm not to sure this one will look as it should yrs from now. Also I'm not sure the swings will last, I'm thinking they may crack, sooner rather than later. I did buy a Step 2 toddler swing to add to it and that has not faded although I wish it had the same black rope as the swing rather than a yellow one but I knew that when I bought it.

This swingset is great! We have three young kids (3, 2 and 8 months). The swingset is great for our 3 year old and 2 year old. Perfect size that they can climb on, get on the swings, and they love playing in the little fort area under the slide platform. The slide isn't very slick, but is just right for their age. Pretty easy to put together (under an hour).

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

First off the directions to put this structure together were some of the worst I have ever seen. There would be one step where you had to assemble a piece and then 3 steps later you had to disassemble it to do a different step. I believe my husband had to take apart the same piece close to 4 times! It made him very frustrated to say the least.
Once he got the structure together and the kids were able to play on it, they had a blast! My 3 year old even came running into our room at 1 am one morning because she wanted to swing. It is a big hit here and I would recommend it to everyone. It is very sturdy and lots of fun!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

Our one & three-year-old both have a great time on this set. We replaced one of the swings with a toddler swing for the younger child. The slide and climbing apparatus are challenging enough for the older child, but easy enough for the younger one to play too. All of their friends like to play in our backyard!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I got this swing set for my two boys (they are now 2 and 3) last x-mas and I also run a small home daycare in my house. This set is GREAT. Perfect for a small backyard. All the kids that come to my house run straight past me to get to the swings. The swings are small and if you don't swing perfectly even they can get unbalanced kind of easy, but the kids love them!!!!! They still look great too.

We purchased this set used 8 years ago (we are the third owner) for our small yard. We moved to a house with a larger yard and moved the playset. It moved well. Several of our next door neighbors put up those gigantic Rainbow playsets and all the kids played on ours the most. We replaced the swings and stairs for minimal cost. All the kids still play on our playset the most of all. I highly recommend this product.

The only thing I forgot was to buy an infant seat for my son. Other than that a great buy and worth the money and time it took to put together.

I bought this for my 10month baby. He loves to swing and play in the fort underneath. He loves to open and shut the door. He'll be too tall to stand up in it next summer though. I bought this swing set over others mainly because its rated for 75 pound kids and all the others were for 60 only. I don't want to have to tell older kids who visit there not allowed to play because there to heavy.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I shopped around for a long time looking for something that my children would enjoy. At the same time I looked at price and durability. If I was going to spend 500.00 on something I wanted to be sure it was going to last at least through the time my last child turned 5years old. I'm still excited about it! Especially now that I know I have another child on the way to enjoy it. I would not suggest allowing any child over 60lbs to ride because it does tip a bit when they swing to high.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

The swingset was a great choice and our twins love it. The swings are perfect and our two little guys are in heaven when swinging and playing in the clubhouse portion of the set. All in all, it was an easy assembly, but as I have noticed in other reviews, Step 2 needs to include longer bolts for the clubhouse portion, as the ones currently in use are about an inch too short. If that were fixed, I am sure you would receive excellent reviews all the time. It was decently priced and looks great in our yard too!

I bought a used one about 2 years ago. Needed to replace the ropes on the swings as they were old and prickly. Kids were 1.5 and 3.5. Both kids used the swings easily and play in the fort area, tea parties, etc. It's still in great condition. My 5.5 is getting to big and wants a bigger climber, so were are upgrading and selling it for almost what we paid...like basically using it for free. Excellent product!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

My two year old loves this, he couldn't wait for us to get it completly put together before he started climbing on it and trying to get on the swings. [...] The only thing that I don't like is it gets really hot out in the sun, I know that's true with any playset around noon in the South, but parents please run your hand over it to test the temperature before letting your child slide or climb for the first time on a hot day.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

A little disappointing---this set comes with swings for children who are at the very least 3 years old, but my two-year old already is too tall to stand in the playhouse, so what's the use of that? Someone could use age-appropriate measurements when designing these things. They should also offer a toddler swing option---although the Step 2 Toddler swings are too small for two-year-olds. So tack on an extra [$]for bucket-seat swings to the price tag if you have two-year-olds.

We bought this for our 2 yr old princess. She loves it and it is a great size for her and our yard. She will be to tall to run in an out under the slide soon, but it will not stop her from playing. It was easy to set up, but the instructions are not the best. We thought we were going to be short hardware, but after looking again, ALL the slide hardware is together (even the top bar screws). It only took about 45 minutes with 2 people (and the little one helping). All in All this is one of the best buys we have bought for her. I love Step 2 products, this is just one of many we have and will buy in the future.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We first looked at the big wooden playsets which are nice but expensive. We then realized that our 18 mo old would not be able to utilize such a big contraption to it's potential for a couple years.

We opted for something smaller and found this Step 2 Playset. He loves it. And he can easily use this for 3 or 4 years.

The climber piece took me 10 minutes to assemble. The swingset took another 30 by myself but was very easy to do. Just watch with the main pole that you have it in the correct direction (round holes up, oval down). This is not mentioned in the instructions and I had to re-adjust.

The slide IS narrow. I can see a potential issue with older or overweight kids. Also the clubhouse ceiling is low, my son has maybe 2 or 3 inches of clearance so he'll out grow that part by next year.

Other than that, it's a great setup.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I purchased this for my 19 month old daughter and she loves it. The swings are great but I puchased a bucket swing to make it a little easier for her. She will definately grow into this item. It took my husband and father-in-law about 1 1/2 hours to put it together and the only difficulty they had was that they placed the swing pole upside down. Direction would have been better if there were written instructions.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

My toddler loves this swing set. The older kids in the neghborhood, like 5+ are too big for this set though. I would say up to 5, not 8 years of age should go on this, as the plastic bends in a little bit otherwise.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We bought this swingset for my 18 month old twins. We looked at all the huge wood swingsets and this one is still the best for little ones. Easy to clean, just hose and wipe off. I bought additional infant swings for now. Slide is the perfect size. I am so happy with all my STEP2 purchases!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We have had our swing set for about 8 years and it is still in great shape!! My boys loved to hook up the Splash Pool to it and slide down. We are handing it down to friends with smaller children. My boys have outgrown it and it will be missed! Still has a lot of life in it! We got our money out of it! I did have to replace the swings due to the ropes wearing down. My daycare kids also had many hours of fun on it.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

My husband and I just purchased this product for our 15 month old son and we love it! The size is perfect for small backyards and young children. I don't have to worry so much about him falling off and hurting himself. We purchased an infant swing and he will swing for hours! He cannot go up and down the slide by himself, but with a little assistance he has a blast. He will not be able to stand up in the playhouse for much longer, but I don't think he will care. He loves opening and closing the door and playing peek-a-boo in the windows. The only con we have is that it did not contain all the correct screws and bolts to put it together. But a few dollars at a hardware store and the swingset was up with ease. This product will probably only last until he is about 5, but for young children, it is perfect and above all, safe for little ones! I would definitely recommend this over a large wooden one, at least while my children are young.

Does take two to put the swing extension on, but was really easy to put together.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I had researched many products for a couple of weeks before choosing this one, and this was exactly what I needed for my 1 1/2 year old daughter. She loves it and can climb up and slide down by herself. It doesn't let her slide so fast she falls off the bottom onto the ground. I feel this is best for about 5 years old and under. Older children would outgrow the piece.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I just purchased this unit for my 2.5 year old daughter and 4 month son. My daughter absolutely LOVES it, my only problem is getting her off of it :-) I purchased the infant to toddler swing and my son also loves the swing. I bought this unit knowing that my daughter would be able to use it right away and my son would grow into it.

I agree that the slide is a bit narrow but I still expect both of them to be able to use it for many years. My daughter loves the little house in the climber...we've put a small table and a chair underneath there so that she can rest a bit out of the sun.

Some people have complained about the swing ropes, however Step2 has changed them and they seem to be much better. The only thing that I have a major complaint with, is the instructions. VERY POOR! The unit itself is not difficult to put together but the instructions are so confusing that it makes the unit difficult to assemble. 1 small tip of advice, make sure that when you assemble the pole of the swingset that the circular holes are on top and the oval holes are facing the ground...otherwise you will put the set together and will be unable to put the swing hooks on and you will need to dissassemble the entire unit...not fun!!

Otherwise, I love this unit and would definately purchase it again.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We just set this swingset up in our backyard for my 18month old. He's still a bit small to climb up and go down the slide unassisted, but he has the best time w/ it. Instead of attaching one of the swings, I installed a baby swing w/ a back that he can enjoy as well. I love that it's easy to spray w/ the hose when it gets dirty and won't rust. I'm sure my kids will enjoy this for quite awhile.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

Im dissapointed that the slide is so slender, my son was only able to use it until he was 3 and the swings fray way too easily even after stored inside for most of the time because of climate they still came apart. After the set was 1 yr old and my son was 2 and able to swing on his own i had to constantly remove slivers from his hand from the yellow ropes, expensive and not worth the money i paid for it..ultimately i have to pay more now for a larger structure just to fit my son whos only 5, Being that im from canada i originally paid over [$]for this product.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We purchased this swing set as a Christmas present for our two year old daughter. Since putting it together, she hasn't been off it! She loves it and we couldn't be happier with our well-researched purchase. My husand put it together without incident, but as mentioned in another review, there were a couple of bolts that didn't fit. Luckily, my husband had some extras in the garage and we were able to finish putting the set together without a run to the hardware store. It's a very sturdy, attractive, small set that works perfectly in our small yard, and I'm not worried that my daughter will hurt herself on any sharp edges or get splinters. Though I've read some of the reviews that indicated the ropes on the swings were not good, we have not yet had any issues with them (though the set has only been up for two weeks.) So far, we are very pleased and will order from Step2 again.

My 21 months old daughter loves it, specially the house where she fits perfectly, even though she has to wear mittens and jacket. I was worried about the slide because it is high but the fall makes her slide slowly. Liked the size, good for a small backyard. About the instructions, my first language is spanish and we found they are not correctly translated. Also, the instructions in english don't detail the parts required but finally my husband and I putted it together.

We wanted a set for our 1 year old to grow with. We got the toddler swing in addition to this and he loves it. Hopefully we'll get at least a few years use. As he grows he can take advantage of more of the features. A good beginning set without spending a fortune.

We had a tiny issue with a part not fitting through one of the holes. A spray of cooking oil spray did the trick and it slid through.

What's great is it offers the same benefits as those gigantic swing sets, and since our yard isn't that big, this was the perfect one. Even after a year of use, it still looks like it did the very first day!!!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I bought this for my 2 year old and 3 year old boys. Overall I am happy with this product. I wouldn't really recommend for older children like 8+. You definietly need to anchor it down. My boys are little and I can somewhat get away with it because they don't really know how to swing on their own but if your kids do, then anchor it down. It's cute and works as described in listing/picture. I wish it had a little more for them to do but again I picked this swingset, they have other swingsets with more. It keeps them busy and they love the swings and slide. Fun and safe.

This set is awesome! My 2 year old son loves it so far. We just put it together today. It would have taken my husband and father 30 minutes to assemble, but they had to go to the store to get some eyelit bolts for the swings (they were missing from the box). It took them 1 hour and that includes going to the store AND assembling the Step 2 picnic table we got also. Also, regarding the comments on the short bolts, my husband thinks that if the bolts were any longer, kids would be scraping their head on them. I love this set and I am very happy we chose it over a wooden set that would warp in the Florida sun!

Watch the weight limits!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I was really excited when I got this for my daughter. As many have commented, you have to be pretty short and small to play inside it. However, my daughter has loved climbing up the sides, up on the bar, and turning the slide into a water slide. Our two biggest disappointments are: 1) The ropes for the swings turned into splinter givers. VERY painful. Step 2 replaced them but it happened again with the new ones. We put them up in May and the ropes were shot by the end of July!!! Now that is pretty bad. These swings never saw anything but Spring and Summer. Now I've been told to tape the ropes. 2) We've had a heck of a time recently keeping the swingset from tilting back and forth when she swings. I think the anchoring system could be better. My daughter is a very average sized 5-year old. Although, I don't really have any other type of swing sets to compare with, so perhaps they all do this eventually? I've even tried moving it as I thought the swinging motion may have just loosened the dirt over time. Still have the same issue, though. Overall, I've been pretty happy with it. Just VERY frustrated with the rope issue, especially for the price I paid for this!

The only thing we had any trouble with was getting the slide in, but once you study the pictures a lot, you can get it. [...]. My kids love it, we sprayed water on the slide today. The slide so far hasn't gotten too hot, but since my kids just learned the word, haha they think it is hot. Great product, kids love it, couldn't ask for more.

I have been looking for a used one of these for some time and finally had to give in and buy it brand new. We love it, it replaces the little tikes version we had, plus we have the big splash pool to go at the end. Takes up less space but should be just as fun as what we had before. I have to say assembly was a pain though, the pics are not very clear and the red bar that goes across the top was a nightmare to get on. Other than that we are very happy with our purchase.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We got this for our son for his 2nd birthday. He loves it!! It was easy to assemble. It only took 1.5 people (one person helped a little)and a total of about 2.5 hours
The only complaint is with the green slide when the sun is out it makes the slide very hot.

We are very satisfited customers

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I love this swing set. I have kids 23months to 8 years and they all love it. Plus it doesnt take up my whole backyard. It is 5 years old and still looks great and works great. I thought you could buy a pool for the bottom of the slide but cant seem to find it. Still hours of fun.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

The instructions are not described clearly especially when you attach the swing extension bar. Make sure you have the bar oriented so later in the assembly you don't run into a problem like I did. Poor instructions.The other factor in the assembly was the playhouse climber assembly step 13-15, the 3.5 inch bolt is not long enough to reach the other side to put the nut on it. [...] Basically it needs to be a half inch longer for you to be able to put the nut on. I am going to home depot to buy a longer bolt. I ended up trying to put this section together over 2 hours.I hope somebody from the design group reads this and fixes the problem.I would only recommend it to a friend if the problems i ran into are fixed.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I bought this swingset last summer for my 1 and 2 year old granddaughters. It was great fun for them last summer. Now, my 9 month old granddaughter is joining in on the fun. It has even been enjoyed by older children (within the given weight guidelines) when parties were given in the backyard. Their grandfather and I had a little problem assembling the upper deck, but my son came along and completed it immediately. I would recommend it to anyone with young children.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This product is great. The size is more than perfect for a small house with a small yard. I put the baby swing for my 14 months old baby boy (now 20 months) and I couldn't get him off the swing all winter, he even slept in it. The playhouse is perfect for playing or storing swimming pool accessories :-)

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This is a pretty good product. The swing is perfect for my 2-year old. And my son loves the little area underneath the tower. And it was pretty easy to put together, although I think the instructions could have been written more clear. However, I wonder how durable it will be in the long term. The steps leading up to the slide gave a little, so it doesn't seem as durable. But overall, I think if your toddler is looking to learn how to use a swing and go down a slide without you having to worry, this is the perfect product. It's not too big but enough for a group of kids to be fully entertained.

MY CHILDREN LOVE THIS PRODUCT AND ENJOY HOURS OF DELIGHTFUL FUN! THEY ADORE THE PLAYHOUSE AND USE THEIR IMMAGINATION VERY BRILLIANTLY! I ENJOY WATCHING THEM PLAY AND ENJOY SEEING THE EXCITEMENT IN THEIR EYES AS THEY SPEND HOURS OF FUN TIME PLAYING WITH THIS SET. I CAN'T SEE NOT HAVING IT, AND I CAN'T SEE WHY WE WAITED SO LONG TO AQUIRE IT. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AGES 2 TO 7, AND THEY ALL ENJOY IT. MY 7 YEAR OLD IS A BIT BIG FOR IT, BUT HE STILL ENJOYS THE FUN HE HAS WITH HIS SIBLINGS. IT WAS VERY EASY AND QUICK TO ASSEMBLE, AND RELOCATING IT THROUGHOUT THE YARD WAS A SINCH. YOU NEED 2 PEOPLE TO TRANSPORT OR MOVE IT, BUT IT IS WORTH IT TO SEE MY CHILDREN HAPPY! THANKS A BUNCH FOR CREATING SUCH A DELIGHTFUL ATTRACTION FOR OUR YARD AND FOR OUR CHILDREN TO PLAY ON! WE LOVE IT!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

The playhouse is tiny (short!) - The average 2 year old's head will touch the "ceiling" (about 33" tall) We were able to get a small table and 2 chairs inside. It is easy for a toddler to climb up the stairs, and the platform makes preparing to slide down much safer than our old metal swing/slide set. The slide is very narrow, so a parent can't go down with a baby or toddler, but then, it wasn't intended for us. :-) My 10 year old can still fit on the slide, assuming he'd want to. :-) You can put a baby swing on in place of a big kid swing.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

My children ages 2 & 3 recieved this as a gift last spring. They absolutely love it. Everytime we pull in the drive they take off for the back yard (rain or shine). We also have the pool that connects to the bottom of the slide which they really love. The only thing that I would like different is the size of the playhouse. I have a home daycare and they are always wanting to squeeze a handful of kids inside and it can only comfortably fit 2 kids. But other than that its great.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I have had this swingset for over a year and I love it. It doesn't splinter like wood. It doesn't need to be treated. The color is still as brilliant as when I bought it. My daughter can't get enough of it. The house underneath is a bit small and doesn't get used for play but I use it for storage.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

Bought the playhouse climber used at a yard sale for [$]!! (It didn't have the swingset extension.) We got our money's worth the first day! My 2 year old loves it!! (Our climber is at least 3 years old, and still holding up strong.) Slightly faded from the sun over the years, but strong and durable.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

This swingset was given to us as a present for our boys. It was kinda a pain to put together. Once we did get it all put together the boys loved it. We have had this swing set for about 4 years now and even our 11 year old still enjoys it from time to time. Our 5 year old and 3 year old love how they can hid in the lower level of the swing set.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

Was a little disappointed with the size, it looks bigger in the picture, the slide is very narrow and the house underneath is very small. We have a 1 1/2 year old and it fits her perfect but I think by the time she is 3 the house underneath will not be any fun. and the slide is very short, so that will probably be no fun either. I thought for [$] it would be a better bang for my buck. Will warn any freinds to call and ask for sizes of any of your products.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

The kids love it, and thats what matters. It blends in nicely with my wooded back yard and the quality is fine, I expect it to survive for many seasons and am very pleased with the purchase.

However, make sure you have 2 people for assembly, and frankly...it would be a good idea to have some wood-clamps as well (the pistol-grip ratcheting style for pressing wooden parts together).

While most of the unit went together in almost no time, the red "bar" that connects the unit across the top where the slide is was an absolute *chore* to bolt down.

Simply put, the bolts are not long enough, or rather just *barely* long enough. It took two grown men and two wood clamps to get the red bar and green side-pieces close enough that we could thread the washer and nut on the attaching bolt. That wasn't fun, but was the only negative building experience.

The bolts on the Swingset Extension were easily long enough to get the job done.

The ropes don't hold up!

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

I like the look of it and my daugher likes it; however, the unit is only one year old and the ropes are all splintered. I had to wrap them in duct tape to avoid getting splinters in my daughters hands. When you touch the rope, it's like touching needles, very painful.

Step2 Response: We recommend that the ropes be stored inside during winter or long periods of unuse to avoid decay like this. Replacement ropes can be obtained from Step2 at 1-800-347-8372

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

Purchased a set similar but with one swing about 20 years ago. Used it, passed it on to my niece who is now 15. She used it, passed it on again. They are using it, but not ready to pass it on.
When it was time to purchase another for my friend's grandson, I didn't hesitate to purchase this ideal set. It's not too big for those of us with limited space, but not so small that a three year old would say "Not fun". His grandkids, ages 2years-8years, all love it.

Comments about Step2 Naturally Playful Playhouse Climber Swing Extension:

We purchased this swing set last week. My son is very happy with it. He loves that he has a house, a swing and a slide all in one. He's 2, and it fits him quite well. (Although he is big for his age.) We added a toddler swing to use until he's bigger.

It was easy to put the house part together but the slide is very tricky. The swings went together fairly easily. Note that there are different size bolts. We didn't realize this and had to repeat that step. It is best installed on very flat ground. We had to move ours to get the swing part to line up. Overall it took about 2 hours to put together. You definitely need 2 people.
