My 2.5 year old loves the swing set. We bought an extra swing (car shaped) to entertain her. She can't climb the steps of the slide yet, but still she enjoys it if lifted up. Before deciding to buy this swing set, we looked online for second hand swing sets, and surprisingly they are all overpriced. We have decided to buy a new one at a lower price and free shipping. It is a basic swing set, but great enough for our backyard and our child's needs. Happy with the purchase !
