My 8 month old loves this! She's had it for about a month now. She's a mover and climber so this has given her a safe place to do those things. We actually took the orange step off and put it where the green item is in the picture and moved the green item to the bottom of the ramp. That helped make the steps up easier and less challenging and giving her more space to move while she's learning. Downside is on the blue lower step it does expose two strips of the rough velcro but she actually enjoys gently rubbing her finger and exploring the velcro texture. She likes to go down the ramp head first so the green provided an even level of padding for her to land on. We have no problem with the pieces moving as the item comes with strips to connect the multiple pieces. Cleaning is super easy! The material is soft enough that she doesn't even care if she takes a spill but firm enough that she crawl over it without sinking.
UPDATE: Here we are an entire year later & these things are still a huge hit! (STILL NO HOLES OR RIPS!!!) My daughter is in the 99.9 percentile in height for her age (2) and these are still the perfect size for her. Even her 4 and 6 year old cousins love them! As soon as kids come over they gravitate towards the huge blocks! (We have a couple sets) The kids love to stack them up and crash into them with their power wheels car as well. (Parental supervision advised 😆) They even love to build castles around eachother and jump out to scare us grownups.
I feel like we’ve got our moneys worth out of these ten times over. That’s a lot coming from me. I am extremely picky when it comes to cost, quality & worth. These are a win in our book for sure!!
Love love love loveeeeee!!!!!!!!
We were extremely hesitant because of the price but finally decided yes in the end. I am so glad we did! Some reviews say they were smaller than they expected but these seem just perfect for our 1 year old. (16 months) She's 26 pounds and 31 inches tall. She fits on the m ust fine and they hold her just fine.
She had just discovered climbing and tumbling and she LOVES picking stuff up and moving it. Especially BIG stuff! Maybe it's the challenge, I don't know but these couldn't be more perfect! They are light weight enough for her to move around but sturdy enough for her climbing and tumbling. We also bought the blocks as well, you can see them stacked on top in the photo. They turned out perfect too!
Absolutely ZERO complaints with either set! I felt like we got our money's worth on Christmas morning alone!
SHE LOVES THESE SO MUCH!!!
My 12 month old likes it. I've ordered another set to have more pieces to make it bigger so there is a little more to do than just climb up and then slide/fall down.
To correct another reviewer, there are Velcro strips attached at the bottom of each piece, and it comes with 4 wider Velcro strips that are unattached and span the distance from one Velcro strip on one piece to another Velcro strip on the other piece, thereby connecting them. When all pieces are velcro'ed together, the set is stable and does not slide.
The word "tiny" is in the title so I wasn't surprised by the size: also, the pictures give a clue.
Those who have it wear out may have it in day care use; if this wears out faster than I expect or think is reasonable, I'll update my review. As it is, the product is just what I would expect and will do nicely for our church nursery with an average of 5-6 kids ages 0-preK. Our unit came with no flaws; I expected it may have a smell as vinyl often does but it did not. I put it into use right away and it was a hit. Crawlers crawled & older kids made up games (in socks or bare feet) circling and hopping and singing. I put an activity rug with hopscotch close to the end of the ramp which gave inspiration as well. Fun times.
My daughter and nephew love climbing on this. When they are older I'll turn it into a reading corner. The Velcro keeps all the pieces together.
While I wish I had purchased a larger one, this size really is perfect for our little playrooms corner.

It is very cute. I hope the kids will use it a lot. Perfect for the little ones who aren't big enough to climb up the ladder of the slide.
Good quality for home use, my son likes this (11months) but his cousins (2 & 4 ) like it even more! It’s good to note that there are straps attached to the underside of one piece that you will use to hold all 4 pieces together!!
Pros: Super soft. Easy for littles to climb on. My daughter seems to really enjoy it.
Cons: Not nearly as big as I thought it would be. Really short and small.
Update: Daughter is now 19mo old and this is her favorite thing to play with. She loves walking, climbing, and running down the slope.
We have a corner sectional couch, and our almost-walking 1-year old has been so into climbing on the couch. For her first birthday, I decided to order her this mat, and set it on top of the longer, rectangular mat we already own. I pushed it into the corner of the sectional, and it fits perfectly to create a safe little area where our toddler won't fall off the couch and onto the hart tile floor. She also LOVES to slide down and climb up the "slide." It's very slow to go down, but she really enjoys it. Our 3 year old also really loves this mat - he climbs on it, jumps on it, and everyone just kind of hangs out on or near the mat!
Used for infant toddler daycare room, love it!
