I'll put hubs in charge of finding a solution to that. LO is still very small but she's mighty!!! The other day she was walking around the house holding an empty diaper box that was bigger than she is! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1192102 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 07:50:38 +0000 HLK208 1192102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: It didn't but now I'm looking into buying safety straps. I thought the kitchen was too heavy but I suppose if DD tried to climb on it, it could fall. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1192083 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 07:40:47 +0000 MamaMoose 1192083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HLK208: I read in the comments on amazon that it comes with materials to mount it to the wall. Did yours not?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1192025 Sat, 02 Nov 2013 05:54:55 +0000 mamimami 1192025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just got the kid craft from Costco for our kids for Christmas!

I need to slowly stock LO's play kitchen, so I'll keep this in mind. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1191124 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:33:50 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1191124@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: DH managed pretty well and I wouldn't say he's super handy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1191063 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:17:23 +0000 mediagirl 1191063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: @MamaMoose: I think the uptown one has more space to play on than the vintage one, which is one reason I wish we had gotten that one. But I do still love ours. It took me 3.5 hours to put together the vintage one by myself. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1191059 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:16:24 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1191059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the ikea one and love it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1191053 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:13:22 +0000 MrsF 1191053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBruins: We have the Ikea one. M got it for her first birthday (a month ago) so I can't vouch for durability. She's already having fun with it and she's still a little young for it. It's super cute! No complaints from us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1191050 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:12:05 +0000 loveisstrange 1191050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're getting the kidkraft corner kitchen. I like the vintage one, but it is pretty small. Our friend has it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1191046 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:10:00 +0000 MamaMoose 1191046@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Was the Uptown one hard to put together? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1191030 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 14:01:40 +0000 KT326 1191030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: Good to know!

All of our m&amp;d stuff but especially the play food and pots are really bad for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1190976 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:40:54 +0000 BabyBruins 1190976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are looking for one, too.

Hopefully, this weekend it'll be assembled. LO is currently loving the box itself at the moment. At daycare, he plays with a plastic girls play kitchen. He loves it, so it was an easy decision to get one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1190885 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:13:33 +0000 Bao 1190885@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents are getting her the Step 2 one, but it's plastic so probably no help! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1190884 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:12:54 +0000 mrsjyw 1190884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: they were when i checked last, might be pretty comparable tho! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/recommend-your-play-kitchen#post-1190878 Fri, 01 Nov 2013 13:11:54 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1190878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: KidKraft Uptown Espresso!
