I looked at pikler climbing systems for hours and decided on this one primarily because of the versatility, the cushion!, and the cute pastel colors. We purchased this for our 20-month old and were really impressed by the versatility of the climbing system. It can be a ramp, a slide, a little rocking chair with cushions, a see saw ..! My toddler has really improved his climbing skills and loves all of it, whether I set up the slide or the ramp or the rocking chair. The build quality looks excellent and the installation is straightforward. I would highly recommend this product --it's possibly my favorite purchase of all time!
