New toy for DD

20thirteen

Thinking of getting this for DD next paycheck (or moving some money over from my savings):

She's really into climbing and loves slides but I live in a ranch style home and the only thing I have for her to climb on is my doggie stairs that lead to my bed (or the couch, or wherever I put the stairs to), the closest park is not walking distance so I wanted something for the house on the days that I'm just too tired to pack her up and go, you know?

Love it! We had a step 2 swing set with a similar slide on it when A was not much older than Harley and she loooved it.

I also sent that link to my BF as well as with this one:

to compare the two.  I like both of them, but, obviously, she can't have both.

My little guy loved this kind of stuff at that age.  Now he's 2 years, 2 months and he still tries to do it but is kinda too big LOL

These things are awesome. Go for it!

Love it! Dd loves slides and already tries climbing up them backwards. Must be something we're born with.

Have u looked into online garage sale sites on FB where you live? My are has like a bazillion, literally...and stuff like this is on there all the time and you can do ISO's. I got E a Fisher Price Laugh and Learn house today that is normally like $90 new for $10.

there are a couple for my area but none that aren't set to private.  Like, I have to figure out how to get invited to join.  I've messaged a couple of people, but because FB has that separate inbox for people you don't know that can only be seen if you're on a desktop, I haven't heard back from anyone.

So BF liked the second one, and then I saw this one:

I kind of like this one better, but he still likes the castle one.

That one looks fun but I think she'll get more use out of the other because it looks a little bigger? I might be wrong though

What's funny is that I just noticed that age recommendation for the castle one is 12yrs+ but the photos are of 1yr-3yr olds.

Maybe try Craigslist, too. I got DDs Step 2 playhouse on Facebook for $40.  It was outside so it was a little dirty, but she had fun washing it down with me and plays in it all the time.

This looks tiny

The castle dimensions are:

Assembled dimensions: 21"L x 40"W x 14"H

The play ball fun pit dimensions are:

• Product Dimensions: 35.8 x 53.2 x 38.2 inches ; 26.2 pounds

And yeah, the ball one looks smaller, but I also live in a small house.  Haha, that's something else I don't think BF has considered.  We had this really cute tunnel thing for DD but it just got in the way and was too big for the house.

The ball pit def didn't look that big. That's damn cute

eg214

Aww bummer. Maybe you live in a small area? Hopefully you get approved soon bc there are some amazing bargains on there!

The thing is I don't live in a small area.  I just apparently don't have friends that are a part of these communities.

The one with the ball pit seems small... I would go with one of the others

Oh and thanks for some ideals... The Lil Emperor's Bday is in 15 days and he climbs on EVERYTHING!!!!

I'm going with the castle one.  There was a picture on a toy website where the parents put the bottom of the slide into one of those cheap plastic kiddie pools and filled it up with plastic balls.  I think that would be more fun than the little ball pit on the side.
