I know this is completely off topic, but I just wanted to share..

If you come to a point where you're looking for a back yard climber for your kids, I just have to give my testimony for Little Tykes. On Friday we had a large tree fall in our yard while we were at work. It crushed my kids' climber (which we've had for about 4 years). About an hour after we got the tree off of it, we noticed it started to reshape itself. Last night I took a picture of it and it looks perfect. We didn't do a thing to it! Good ol' plastic and sun!

    And the structural integrity must be the exact same as before the accident. One time, I got into a minor fender-bender in my Ford Pinto but nothing bad happened.

    Wow! got to love Little Tykes!
    Edited to add the integrity probably isn't what it was, BUT Little Tykes toys are amazingly robust, and this is impressive. Plus, it's a small kids toy, not something that will regularly take 20 stone of weight!

    And you have to be an @ss hole about it, why? You're talking a POS car compared to a plastic kids climber. If my 200+ lb husband can stand on it, I'm okay with my 6 and 3 year old kids playing on it. I just thought I'd pass along a great experience I had with a product.

    Thanks for your little contribution....

    That is really awesome. Guess some things these days are still made with quality...

    Question to those with small children: Do you find it hard to workout without them wanting to join? I think it motivates me. Just got the Nickelodean (spelling?) just dance and it is soooo fun. My 4 year old loves to work out with me!

    When I work out at home, yes, mine always want to join. I try to let them, but it's tough. I have a Nick Fit Wii game for them and my 3 year old loves it. My 6 year old is a little old for it, but when his sister starts playing, he typically joins in. We mostly just try to get them running around and then I work out when they're in bed.

    I don't have children.
    But that climber is amazing the way it reset itself.
    I used to work in day care centers and always liked Little Tykes products.
