I bought this climber as a b-day gift for my two year old twins. One of my twins has Down Syndrome and I needed something that didn't have a ladder...she can only manage stairs right now. Plus, she's very little for her age and this is the perfect height for her. She'll be able to play with it for a long time. My two older children (4yr &amp; 7yr) can play on it also. Great product!
