We've had this plane for over 3 years, it even survived the move to another State, it is a wonderful backyard toy! I'm especially glad we have it since our new backyard is so small, it gives the kids something to do without taking up too much space. My 3 kids now range from 3-7, and they all love it. Though they still struggle taking turns in the driver seat :)

Another great product from Lifetime! Their swing sets are the best. Kids love this climber. Super sturdy but you could move it around yard for mowing (with a couple adults) if you wanted to. A little trickier than the swim-sets to assemble but once you get a rhythm going it goes pretty quick.! Would highly recommend !!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've owned this about 5 years. This is still standing strong and sturdy. For several years my kids hung a swing from the top, and they found that real fun. The only issue is that it's heavy when I drag it so I can mow under it. Wait is being solid and heavy a bad thing?

I am happy with the quality of the climber for the price. In terms of outdoor play toys this is a great bargain. My daughter is only 2 and like to climb on it with some help but is probably too young to fully use it but we have had a 5 year old friend come play on it and loves it. The assembly at first seems overwhelming because the instructions are vauge, but once you get going it starts making more sense. I missed that on step one it says in small print at the bottom to repeat this step five times. I would have thought that should have been the first sentance of step one since that is kind of important to know. It took me 3 hours with many distractions during that time to put it together by myself. It is definately possible to put together yourself but it would go faster and smoother with 2 people. I am about 6 feet tall male with average strength and am able to get under the middle of it and lift it above my shoulders to move it 5-10ft out of the way to cut the grass every week. Our yard is not level but it does conform to the uneven ground well during assembly, but a flat location is best. Do not that the brown color pipes do have a muted earth tone that is nice but the dark green pipes do not blend well with my local plant life and it does make it stand out some. I am sure this may not be the case if your lawn is a deep vibrant green. The look of it is not a concern to us and overall everyone is very pleased with it.

I would definitely recommend this climber. It is very sturdy and the price is extremely reasonable. The grandchildren, ages 3-11 are having a great time on it. They use it for climbing, doing tricks and they even make a tent by throwing a tarp over it. One evening after dark, they had movie night in the tent after their dad rigged up the TV screen and put rope lights around the top. Add blankets, pillows, popcorn and it made for a very cozy night "under the stars."

My 6 and 8 year old, and their friends, love to climb, hang and use this as "base" or a "jail". They've come up with so many different ways to play with it, and everyone who plays on it tells their mom they want one at their house! Took 2 people about 2 hours to put together. (not hard, just repetitive). Very sturdy (4 kids can play at once) but light enough for my husband to stand under middle and move easily. Great price and it was delivered quickly right to our door. We're very happy with this purchase!

We love this geodome. Big problem that it rusted after one year. Major rust after two years, then moved and have to reassemble. Major undertaking with steel wool and heavy duty paint. I hope the company contacts me! I am doing it because my children love this. I want to do it correctly. Thank you.

By Worlds Greatest Mom from Minnesota on 5/27/2009 Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend. My 2 children LOVE the dome and play on it everyday. It is very sturdy, directions were easy to follow and my kids like having something that no one else has. I will buy from the company again!

We bought this 3 months ago for our girls. The set up was not too hard and once we got the hang of it I was able to do most of it with my husband at work. The neighborhood kids and my children have spent hours playing and pretending. The set is sturdy and one of the best investments we have made for our backyard. Our only issue has been the steering wheel falling off when played with roughly. It is easily attached again though and has only happened a few times.

It looks bigger in the picture than it actually is I bought it for my grandchilds 6th birthday and she likes it OK but I could have gotten her something much better for the price. It was easy to put together and it would be really fun for a 3 or 4 yr old.So bottom line is it's great for a 3 or 4 yr old. Not big enough for all of the kids that they show in the picture. It is pretty sturdy and not hard to put together. So far it looks like it will hold up well however we have only had it a month and it has not been used much. Summer is here and the kids will be using it more so we will find out then. It does add a more "kids playground" look to my backyard and I'm fine with that.
