I bought this for my 12 month old grandson. He is big for his age 34 inches and weighs about 30lbs. It is very sturdy so you do not have to worry about it tipping over. He loves the slide, but still isn't brave enough to go down without holding my hand. I wish it had steps instead of the climbing wall that goes to the slide. This is just a personal preference as I do not have steps at my house and would have been nice to have him practice on them.
