All four tent rods need to be set up from the inside of the tent, so I had to crawl in there; However, It is not that easy for a 5'11 adult. Anyway, this tent is perfect to take to beach and park too, since it is very light and easy to pack into a small bag, Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, so I give it 5 stars based on the cheap price and portability. It is little difficult to set it up because all four tent rods need to be set up from inside the tent, so I had to crawl in there."
"I was concerned that the poles would make it annoying to set up and break down but honestly it is not a problem. We have had it up and down at least 5 times in the last 2 weeks and it takes no time to pop this thing up. The whole thing is just precious and cute and I look forward to many years of using this thing all over the house with my two girls."
"I have had children in it ages 5-13 and an 85 pound dog that loves it, as well as two cats that believe it's for them lol."
"Hopefully it can handle a little girl and possibly her other princess friends for a long while to come!"
"The stars don't really glow on the outside but we have a star nightlight that looks awesome shining on the top of this castle."
"The tent has Velcro to keep the flap shut and little pink ribbons that secure the poles inside to keep them securely in place."
"I love that the stars glow in the dark on it. This is absolutely adorable and a great purchase!!"
"Perfect for enhancing play imagination and again makes the perfect gift!"
Loading is easy and quick with the flip-open rotating barrel, and you can attach most N-Strike accessories (sold separately) to the blaster's Tactical Rail for even more battle advantage. It has the same long-range power as other N-Strike Elite blasters (sold separately) and it rapid-fires 6 darts when you pump the Slam Fire slide repeatedly while holding the trigger. Strongarm blaster holds 6 Elite darts and fires darts up to 90 feet.

"We tried yelling at him, waterspray bottles, other various loud noises, giving him treats when he actually gets off the counters at his own leisure (my wife's dumb idea). I crouched behind the dining room table and carefully lined up my shot , I was zeroed in on the spot where his back ends where his tail starts. But he saw the dart go flying by and straight up lost it, sprung off the counter and hit the hardwood floor in full sprint. However, the floors are brand new and he couldn’t get any traction, so he was just hilariously running in place like Wile E. Coyote on an oil slick. Nowadays, if I ever see him perched about to jump up on the counter, or any other behavior issues for that matter, I reach into the kitchen drawer and pull this badboy out and he immediately falls into line…feline."
"We set up old cereal boxes on the window sill and see how far away we can stand and still knock them over. It will easily shoot across the length of our basement, but aiming from that distance is tough."
"The tiger is a bit of a discipline problem he may not be a "D-Bag" (read Mackenzie's review) ours is a step lower we refer to him as a "Nut Job" at times (NJ). It arrives and it is well made a bit bigger than expected...its the "Dirty Harry" of nerf guns. The Strongarm is packaged well and has simple instructions, written for us and to our. neighbors to the north and the south, who my also need to train a varmint. I have patience stay tuned as the saga continues... Next day "NJ" is a bit naughty. Note: This gun fits nicely in a full size bath robe pocket."

"The pistols have a small slide at the back that actually Cycles with recoil every pull of the trigger in addition to the speaker gunshot sound. They also have a very clever Shield option which makes you invincible but it's only good for a few seconds per round. If you take fire while in shield mode it makes an awesome bullet ricocheting off steel sound."
"The range outdoors is at least 100 ft. We play on 3 acres and they really seem to work. If you don't use the sights, you wont hit anything at that range, but when you do...... you get a hit. There is a setting that selects how many times you can be hit before you are out of the game."

Find Best Price at Amazon"So I searched a long time for a quality bubble machine for our son... there are a lot of options out there, but I bit on this because for a few dollars more over the cheap plastic machines this thing is a solid performer."
"About 10 seconds into the dance I took out the remote and started the bubbles. After their dance, I opened the floor up to everyone and the bubbles definitely brought them out, especially the kids. About every 5 minutes or so, I'd give it a little hit for a few seconds, just to keep a bubble going around."
"Cool Product."
"The only thing that would make it better would be a built in tilt to shoot the bubbles higher in the air but then some people might not want that."
"Works well, the remote is a huge plus, only issue is tray for bubble liquid seemed to have a small crack and leaked into the main unit and was spilling onto the table."

Find Best Price at Amazon"After poorly teaching her to wrap it around her wrists to shorten it I decided to educate myself about appropriate jump rope length vs. height (fyi, it's 6 foot ropes for people 48" and under, 7 foot for 49" to 57", and 8 foot for beyond that). Obviously I didn't read too much about this product and I wasn't about to start now, so I went to adjust the rope we already have and was confronted with the reportedly confounding adjustable handles."
"I just tie knots in the rope, close to the handle so it doesn't trip up the jumper, to make the rope the best length."
"Adjusting can be tricky but we followed one reviewers advice and it worked - "squeeze the non-slotted sides of the handle and, voila, it popped right open like a prescription pill bottle.""

"I would say in general that this is geared toward younger children, and a big factor of how much play time it receives is also your child’s personality. My older daughter was not an early builder, as in she didn’t like to stack blocks, etc., but my younger daughter is!"

As soon as they hear the sound of the blower it's like magic and suddenly they forget all about the stupid toy/sticker/cup/shirt they have been fighting over all day. It takes maybe 5 mins to fold up (which is always a sad occasion). Also, if it's raining you can use the blower indoors to make balls, cardboard airplanes and a bunch of other stuff float or fly."
"Best birthday entertainment ever!"
"I leave ours on a tarp in the back and whenever they want to play we just turn on the switch takes about 15 seconds to fill up. Im the dad 200lb+ and i can get in roll and crawl around and play but If your looking to get in with the kids and "JUMP",then definitely get the next size bigger."
"Santa delivered this to us this year, and my 2 and 4 year old kids LOVE this."
"We've had this for six months now with no problem, other than it got infested with ants when we stored it in our detached garage for a few weeks."
"This sucker is heavy duty construction, inflates in less than a minute (3 year old grand daughter loves to lay in it while it inflates) and is very well made. Had a birthday party for my little sputnick and the dry bouncer was the center of attention. Like myself, they all thought the material was going to be of the dime store quality kiddie swimming pool that costs a buck fiddy, and deflates when you look at it."
"Pros: Kids absolutely love it. Decent size. Sturdy material. Can be staked to the ground (recommended). Air compressor is very strong. Supports up to 250 lbs. Quick set up or breakdown. Comes with storage bag. Cons: Netting is a little thin. Only one closed entry. Doesn't hold up in the rain well (this is mentioned in the manual as well). A little difficult to clean."

Find Best Price at Amazon"So after reading a few good reviews on this rainbow kite I decided to give it a try. I think it was about $14 so if it didn't work out... well, I'd be annoyed about it, but it wouldn't be the worst thing... ive had my kiting dreams crushed many a time before. Normally our kiting experience is a little something like this: we go in with "HIGH hopes", we wait for the "right wind" (which definitely tests our patience) and I run around like an idiot that is continuously throwing and catching some crap-tastic piece of plastic, with intermissions of me untangling a messy spool of knotted string. My daughter is bummed that it doesnt fly and thats a wrap....as I say to myself, "please, please don't ask to play with this thing for another year!" I was planning to add this to her christmas gifts, but when it arrived I thought, "we live in ny. The rods are strong and stable, the material arrived and still is inntact... not made of plastic. And of course the little one was pumped about it being rainbow :). I want to take a second just to say thank you to this company, to the seller, and to anyone else who went into making/creating this oh-so-simple-to-fly kite. I never in a million years expected that spontaneous trip to the park to become such a meaningful day... who knew it could start with a good, sturdy kite! I am in no way paid to write reviews, nor do I receive any kind of discounts... this is just the perfect kite :)."
"This kite just FLIES!"
"The weather hasn't been cooperating, so I haven't gotten this kite into the air with my daughter, yet. I have to admit that flying a kite isn't overly complicated, but I was excited that the kite would come with a book with some possible suggestions."
"Thankfully, the kite came with very clear directions for assembly, including a labeled diagram. This kite was a birthday gift for my 3 year old son, and he even got to enjoying holding the string and running with it (with some help)."
"The kite was still usable, but I emailed Tony, the owner, about buying a replacement rod. As the afternoon has progressed the wind has died down, but the kite still ventures aloft easier than any Kite I've ever flown before."
"I don't ever remember flying a kite as a kid so was skeptical of how easy it would be to try and fly one with my 4 yr old."

"Classic disc, official ultimate weight."
"I was born and raised in a beach town and the Frisbee was a big part of it all. Then the Discraft Ultra Star was introduced to me at a picnic. If you've ever flown a Frisbee then you'll know how it drops and lifts when it hits the breeze. It's all in the design, the Frisbee is more domed and therefore floats a bit more all the while being less stable in flight."
"Note: First one arrived damaged, but was replaced free of charge a day later."
"When playing this "flying disc game" (Aka, FrisbeeTM) these are great, they are balanced nicely, have great weight for them and are of decent diameter."
"If you're planning to paint over the star in the center to customize these as I did, probably just don't, the ink was really bright and hard to cover up."

"I read the reviews, and bought the fire pit cover as well which is a snug fit, but works great (https://www.amazon.com/Classic-Accessories-58992-EC-Terrazzo-Cover/dp/B00BBAP274/ref=pd_bxgy_21_img_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ETA3WMW2D7HHNKP3MQJV). I had a few issues with the product though--. One leg didn't have the plastic molding correct on it. Annoying that you need to use six inch screws with no screw holes to line them up, that if you're not right on (which you're inserting them at a diagonal as it is), the screw will go through the plastic of the boat."
"Otherwise it's perfect and deserves a 5 star review even with the minor cannon issue! The middle piece with the pirate flag comes off easily and lays flat for storage so that the cover can go right over it at night."
"The water table is adorable, and as my son grows, it will be something he will use regularly. I investigated and noticed that I had not pulled one part of the lip completely through the opening. I have since moved the table into the house so my son could play with it on a cold rainy day. Little Tikes must have fixed this because our mast sinks down into a slot on the table so it cannot fall over. The cannon base is stationary as it snaps down onto a corner of the table and cannot be removed. The customer service gal was very sweet and told me to look inside the steering wheel."

Aside from putting one bolt in backwards (kids could have bonked their head on it so just turned it around) it all worked out nicely. I recorded a couple of videos which shows you how the back board sits right on the pole. If you have a limited budget and / or you just want something for goofing around, or for little kids who have an interest in Bball, really I can't find any faults."
"It is also easy to move the net up and down, I have an 8 and 4 year old so when they are both playing we can switch the heights quickly and easily."
"The product is okay for what you are paying."
"pain in the.... To set up, but worth the smile on my daughters face!"
"If you are not handy, then you will need to find someone who is to help you assemble the hoop."

"I was worried about the smell after reading some of the other reviews, but either we aren't as sensitive to smells or else we got one that wasn't as horrible, because I didn't notice the extremely strong smell other reviewers did."
"She did manage to jump/flip over the bar once by accident and bruised her leg already...so even with supervision there's a learning curve."
"perfect for working off excess energy indoors."
"I love the bar, it allows my daughter to jump safely and she loves that it helps her jump higher."
"I think that the wait time for each of them increases their interest - these boys are competitive! (The instructions do give directives regarding two children using the trampoline at the same time). It is a good size for indoor use and we have already had enough snow to use it a lot this season.This little toy has saved my leather sofas and coffee table."
"The springs that make the trampoline bouncy are nice and tight, and I feel confident it can easily support at least the stated maximum weight of 150#."
"The yellow paint around the legs was chipped and broken off before it arrived, and even more so after we put it together (which required us finding a YouTube video to complete)."

I received this product at a discount in exchange for providing an online review."

I was worried the standard size might be too big and debated getting one of the "junior" models. In the end I opted for the standard, to avoid having to purchase another table in 1-2 years."

"Just what kids are attracted to. Personally, it gives me a headache after a minute or two, but then again, all the toys my kids love so much do. I did test how hard it hits when you stick fingers in the blades while they're running, to know how hands on I could let my kids be with it (my oldest is 5), and it won't chop off your finger or anything but it's definitely not something you want your kids getting fingers caught in because it stings. So I would suggest this for older kids, or with parental supervision for young ones."
"My son received this as a Christmas gift, he really enjoys it."
"The reviews and description seemed to imply that it can sense things near it, all I see it see it sensing are solid objects (hands & floor) directly beneath it, so it doesn't avoid walls or ceilings."
"It's great because the kids were able to use this in the house and didn't have to wait until nicer weather to take it outside."
"They loved them once we went on line to learn how they operate."
"Just as advertised ."
"I was very surprised to get this and how well it actually worked and how durable it was after having it falling on the floor couple different times."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The tent is well-made and can be folded and stored in a small bag, so it is very easy to be carried around. All four tent rods need to be set up from the inside of the tent, so I had to crawl in there; However, It is not that easy for a 5'11 adult. Anyway, this tent is perfect to take to beach and park too, since it is very light and easy to pack into a small bag, Overall, I am very happy with this purchase, so I give it 5 stars based on the cheap price and portability. It is little difficult to set it up because all four tent rods need to be set up from inside the tent, so I had to crawl in there."
"I have had children in it ages 5-13 and an 85 pound dog that loves it, as well as two cats that believe it's for them lol."
"My granddaughter's eyes were wide and bright when she saw her pretty pink tent! She likes to play in her own private space sometimes, and the play tent allows this, while still giving the adults in charge the ability to easily see that all is well with her."
"It was easy to put together and is small enough to fit in the corner of the living room."
"This should easily fit two or more little girls at a time and will provide a fun play time!"
"Although the tent is somewhat durable, I do not recommend rough-house playing in or around the tent such as how my grandboys would play."
"This is such a cute, fun tent for any little girl. I got this for my daughter to have her own private hideaway."
"It has two side windows that roll up for ventilation or to just talk out of and a door on the front that folds up.It's just about 3.5 feet in diameter so there's plenty of room inside, yet it doesn't really seem like it takes up much space when it's set up."
