The playground is really good. I think a solid fit for a 2.5-3 year old. The swing chairs provided, however, are not awesome. Once our 3-yr old sits in it, he complains that the ropes are painful and the seat is uncomfortable. We ordered the baby swing seat for our baby, and our toddler prefers that seat instead. 

The installation was rough, and the manual is not good. The holes in the plastic for the swing's top bar were too small for the post to fit. I called Step2 Customer Service and sent them photos. They suggested I file it down with a knife, so the hole can accommodate the pole. This seems like a manufacturer design and production flaw.

Even still, I'd buy it again, because my little dudes enjoy it. I just wish the install was a bit smoother.
