Classic Step 2 Quality

2008-02-22
If you have any of the Step 2 kitchens that match this set, go for it! Great Step 2 durability + the creativity it invokes. My daughter (3) immediately set up dolls and bears and "served" them. I'm sure we will get years of use out of this. If you don't have a kitchen either - it is a must have. All my kiddos (the other 3 are boys ages 7, 5, 2)play with the kitchen. It's not girly and I think that helps.

I am very pleased with the table and chair set. It is perfect for my 2-year-old daughter. She is able to get in and out of the chairs easily and it looks like she won't be growing out of the set anytime soon. Her 6-year-old brother enjoys sitting at the table also and has plenty of room.

what a great table

2007-10-10
My son is 13 months and hated to sit in his high chair but loved to sit at the coffee table to eat dinner. This table is perfect for him. It is not too tall for him to sit in the little chairs and it is a good height where he can stand and take things off the top. It is something that he can grow with.
His favorite part is the chairs. He loves to "drive" the chairs acrossed the floor.

The only problem that I have is that the chairs are not weighted at the bottom and the chairs tip very easy.

Get ready for dinner......

My daughter loves it and almost wont sit and the big table cause she likes this so much. It helps her to understand sitting properly while she eats and things of that nature.

great table/chairs

this is a great table/chairs set.. my 22 month old is enjoying it but may be a little to young.. the chairs tip very easily. other than that its a great set.

Hoping chair suggestion works!

As I read several comments before writing my own out of curiosity, I see most everyone has the same issue. These lovely chairs pretty much injure any child who touches them in some way shape or form. I do love the set overall in practicality, ease of cleaning, and have had no problems with it for over 2 years, and my son is now 4 - still loving it! (other than the chair issue...) He has mastered using the set carefully, but we monitor anyone under the age of 3 on or near the chairs as they always get clobbered with them or fall off them. I am hoping the suggestion of adding sand to the inside works...I will attempt that project in the near future! Best of luck in your purchase!

This should solve the problem!!!

I purchased this table and chairs for my 3 year old twins. Just the other day for some reason one of the chairs were upside down I noticed a little plastic plug that unscrews and comes out. Well, I found out that the chairs can be filled with a little sand so that way they can not tip over anymore. My twins were both falling off the chairs everytime they would go to get on them, but now with the sand holding the chair down they are a little more stable. I hope this helps everyone that has this set. I am pretty happy with this table now!

Chairs keep falling over-WATCH OUT!

The light-weight, hollow plastic construction of the chairs will make your little ones fall over onto the floor every time they try to sit on these chairs. Also, the legs of the chairs are completely vertical (up and down) and do not provide much stability further ensuring that your child will fall over. We have pretty much given up using the chairs altogether and have our toddler sit on a box of baby wipes instead. Even though this table set is cute, BUY SOMETHING ELSE INSTEAD.

	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!!!!
