Right. The kids. :wink: </p> <p>I am so conflicted. All the Amazon reviews say the tent is terrible and the assembly is VERY off. They are all saying, "just get a normal slide; tent isn't worth it." Um...Starting to think we will do the slide and just purchases tent separately from Ikea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1493695 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 09:04:37 +0000 mrsjyw 1493695@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i vote the tent one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1493670 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:57:24 +0000 lemondrop 1493670@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have #4 and it is C's favorite toy that we own. Next favorite is his basketball hoops, then the turtle sandbox. He's 2 and still not the world's biggest fan of his water table. </p> <p>I'd be hesitant about the tent if it stayed outside just because we have big problems with dust in our yard, but you may not. I do love pretty much everything Step 2 that we have ever gotten! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1493650 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 08:46:55 +0000 MrsH 1493650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The tent one is super cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1493471 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 07:05:29 +0000 loveisstrange 1493471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I LOVE that tent slide. We might have to build something like that into C's playhouse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1493427 Fri, 14 Mar 2014 06:11:27 +0000 doodlepoodle 1493427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Again-I'm planning our move to your house. Tents. Pools. Slides.

I'm sure he would still love it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1492167 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:34:13 +0000 littlek 1492167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the lookout.

He will be able to grow more with a stand alone hoop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1492064 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 14:00:22 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1492064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: I was hoping you'd chime in because I saw your post on J's birthday gifts and I was nodding along because J and E are so much alike in how they play ;)</p> <p>I could get the tent one and separate stand alone basketball hoop. They're only like $19 at walmart. I kind of like the idea of a picnic lunch inside his tent. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1492054 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:58:17 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1492054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like either the tent or one with the hoop! My kid loves basketball so he'd love it, but he loves tents/teepees too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1492048 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:57:18 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1492048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@beaker: so, actually the last one is designed to be indoor, but the Amazon reviews all said it works great outdoors, And since you say it is large, we probably won't have room for it indoors anyway. I got it for my aunt's son last year and she says he LOVES it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1492041 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:55:59 +0000 littlebug 1492041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That tent is so cool! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1492031 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:53:26 +0000 Mrs. Tiger 1492031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the last one for inside play. It's a big hit, especially when we have guests! The basketball hoop is stupid small though. I voted for the tent though, it looks like fun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-me-pick-out-outdoor-toys-for-lo-please#post-1492007 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 13:50:02 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1492007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like one of these outdoor toys because lo LOVES slides. He is 17m but will be 19-23 months through the summer.<br /> Also: Should I get a water table? I want to but I ask because LO already has a kiddie pool and we have a large underground pool, so I feel like the water table is overkill, but then again, i've seen MANY of the HB LOs and the fun they have with their water tables.</p> <p>Any other suggestions on outdoor toys? He has balls and a soccer goal, and he has a ride-on bike/tyke type toy. He also has chalk. I just want to make sure he spends A LOT of time outside after the long winter we've had (and are still having).</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n2e1nf.135x115.41ELOAu1O2L._SL500_SL135_.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n2e1ng.135x76.41ZS9ZWDwLL._SL500_SL135_.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n2e1ni.600x498.71POo5t1IXL._SL1500_.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n2e1nj.135x124.516IRp4mdrL._SL500_SL135_.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n2e1nl.135x135.51ptDYD4zYL._SL500_SL135_.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=2389/14/n2e1nm.247x204.download.jpg] </p>
