I love this slide/climber. I was lucky enough to get this for 25.00 at a yard sale a few years ago. My daughter used it for a couple years. As it is the perfect side for  little climbers. I would say around ages 2 until there motor skills get well enough to use a bigger slide. My daughter however was able to use the stairs on this at age 1 1/2. Each child I would say varies to their abilit...

The 8-in-1 Climber by Little Tikes is a fun outdoor toy for kids from an early toddler age through ages 6 or 7.  The 8-in-1 Climber is unique because it is designed to be taken apart and re-assembled into eight different configurations.  The truth is that there is not much difference between any of the eight different configurations other than the height of the slides and the tunnel.&...

I love this machine!  These are very hard to find, since nobody wants to sell them!  I have knee and ankle problems, and I researched many other machines, but this is the one I decided on.  Instead of buying brand new, I bought it used; even used, it works very well.  I love how you just step on, and you're good to go.  This machine puts you in a position much like ...

The Little Tikes Climb and Slide Castle is a great toy for toddlers.  The Castle has one side that is like a mini rock climbing hill.  The other side is a slide for coming down out of the castle.  Tunnel-like openings allow the toddler to go under the castle, creating a special hiding spot.  The top platform of the castle features a wheel that turns.  We were unable to ...

A friend of mine has bought this mini stepper from Amazon for only $59. Unlike traditional stair climbers that are built like mini-escalators with moving steps, this one is very small and compact, it basically consists of two stepping pads on a base plus a small monitor. Despite being so small that you can hide it under your office desk, the stepper does a good job imitating the stair-climbin...

When I first saw this machine, I thought it was some new form of elliptical. It has two rising platforms somewhat similar to foot pads of an elliptical, yet when someone got on it and began to exercise, it looked more like they were stair climbing. The gym owner explained to me that this new machine was a treadclimber. Treadclimbers combine three types of cardio exercising: stair climbing, el...
