Naturally Playful Teeter Totter
This teeter totter seems to be very sturdy and the only assembly is to push the handles into place. Simple, except that it requires a lot of strength to do this and I was unable to accomplish the assembly on my own.

fun for the kids

Well the other step 2 products have shown great durability for us but this one let us down. We have had this product for 3 years now and after the first year the teeter totter cracked in the middle. Its still usable but i may end up trashing it this year. It is very cute and my children did love this toy.. Maybe a little too much? hehe.. I would definitely purchase it again if i had to. Its such a great activity for the kids.

Great Purchase!

I bought this for my granddaughter. It comes nearly assembled--just attach handles. Very attractive to leave in the yard. Lightweight but very durable. Well designed and very affordable. She loves it, and I am very glad I made this purchase.

Excellent product for little children! Teaches them balance and being considerate of the other rider. Bought for my 3 granddaughters, 1,2,5 years old. They love it! Can ride one at a time,(in the middle to teach balance), or 2 at a time, one at each end to teach consideration of the other rider or all 3, one in the middle and one at each end, just for pure fun, enjoyment, silliness and togetherness. Wonderfully sturdy and easy as 1,2,3 to put together.

I bought this for my 27 month old who is tall. She will not get alot of use from this because I thought it was alot bigger (longer and higher). Her legs seem to be getting too long for it. She does like playing on it, but it seems it works best used on a hard surface because it sinks into the grass or sand from the body weight.

Great simple & pretty toy

The classically styled, traditional teeter-totter now has a charming, decorative "stone-like" look. The Naturally Playful Teeter Totter features two wide, contoured seats with easy-grip handle bars, plus room for a third rider in the middle. Measures approximately 16" x 38.5" x 18.25". Minimal adult assembly required.

Great toy to get kids moving and playing together.

My Son 4yrs and Daughter 2yrs both love this toy. It's a great way for them to play together and learn a little bit of teamwork. They do fight over who gets to sit in the middle and ride by themselves. For the most part though I have been proud of how they share this toy. I wouldn't mind if it was a slightly thicker plastic, it does seem a tad weak in the center. Only time will tell how it holds up though. With a new baby on the way I am hoping it lasts quite a few years to come.

My son likes it and we can use it in the house since he has trouble with his lungs in the cold. Its light but can take the abuse of two toddlers. It helps the boys plays together, without one of them getting the other in trouble.

worth every penny

My kids love their "tater totter". They are 5 and 2 and can rock together or sit in the middle and rock alone. We haven't tried 3 at once but I'm sure that will be fun too. It is in our living room until the weather gets better. I'm so glad I got this so they can actively play without having to go out in the cold.

VERY HAPPY WITH PURCHASE

	Dora the Explorer Mr. Face Plush Backpack Review: My daughter is a big Dora fan and uses this backpack to carry around her favorite toys and books, which is why I gave it 5 stars for educational value. My friend's daughter has it as well, and love hers too. We've had it 6 months now and it's holding up just fine. The map opens up for an added bonus. My daughter likes to wear it and sing the backpack song from the show.
	Star Wars Episode III: Darth Vader Voice Changer Helmet Wow, do I ever wish they had this out when I was a kid! I bought it, and my wife, kids and I have all been playing with it. It has a chest box with several buttons that plays about 5 of Darth's quotes from the movies, or you can switch it to voice changer. The voice changer is fun! It has 3 different levels of depth for changing the voice. ... A must for Star Wars Geeks!!!!
