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."

The Paw Patroller comes with Ryder and his ATV vehicle and can hold 3 Paw Patrol vehicles inside and can display 6 vehicles when open. By Paw Patrol. The Paw Patroller is the ultimate rescue vehicle and can transport three Paw Patrol vehicles inside, or display six vehicles when opened up!
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Let me begin by telling you that we are huge Paw Patrol fans in this house and already own several of the pups and their mid-sized vehicles. When the set is open, you can fit 6 vehicles inside and 4 passengers - 2 get seats and 2 don't. They are made of a thicker paper, almost a thin cardboard and they separate. The Paw Patroller is a fun and durable "WOW" gift for any child. It has been played with for hours in our house and the kids love to pretend they are Ryder and Marshall! Note that some of the figures, such as Everest, are NOT included in the set and are sold separately."
"I will start by saying that my daughter (3.5 years old) is obsessed with this toy. The front of the truck is pretty large and can fit a lot of pups. When we play and my daughter drives the Paw Patroller around, she is always disappointed that she can only choose 3 cars to put inside it. I would love to be able to store more of the vehicles in the truck when we are finished playing! The front and back of the truck are so close together that there isn't any room for it to turn corners. My daughter has a really rough time turning it around in the playroom and always asks for me to do it. I just can't see why it costs so much (other than that it has the Paw Patrol name and that means people will pay a lot for it). My daughter likes it, but she usually ends up just playing with the pups and vehicles that I had to buy in addition to this."
"There are also 1-2 other things you must attach / get in place before letting a kid play with this one. Comes with Ryder figure and ATV. BUT, you CAN stuff an entire set of Paw Patrol figurines inside the Paw Patroller when closed IF you use figurines, racers and/or an appropriate combination of figurines and mid-sized vehicles. Here's what we stuff in our Patroller (while still being able to close it): Two medium-sized vehicles with riding figures (Ryder & ATV, and Everest & snowmobile); Two small racers (Chase and Zuma); Two figurines plus their detachable packs (Skye and Rocky); Two figurines with spring-action packs (Robodog and Tracker); and. Two figurines with other features (Rubble and Marshall)."

"My granddaughter received her first magnetic building set (the Magna-Tiles brand) a few months ago and she enjoyed building with them so much that I bought an additional set."
"He’s learning his shapes, he gets to make garages for his cars, they keep him entertained for about an hour at a time."
"We've played with this literally every single day since it was purchased."
"We had another set, I can't remember the brand - I can see they are slightly different but they work just fine together."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I debated getting this or a dollhouse fit for Barbies, but I didn't like the cheap looking Barbie houses I saw, nor did I want a 4+ ft tall monstrosity taking up way too much space. I'm sure this will provide many hours of quiet play time for my daughter and honestly, I even enjoy going in there when she's done and straightening all the furniture and arranging the little people in cute positions!"
"I found some of the holes didn't quite match up, and the bottom floor wall doesn't quite touch the floor. :( Also can't figure out why the top stairs don't match with the floor. I bought the Happy Together dollhouse people, and the Hape Family Pets."
"The house is great."
"What I don't like is that some of the screw hole do not line up properly, which in turn makes other pieces not line up properly."
"The Chelsea Doll Cottage is an excellent starter doll house for our Grand Daughter who just turned 3 years old."
"This is a Christmas gift for our 3 year old granddaughter and we can’t wait for her to unwrap it!"
"Also, some of the small sections and backer sections (#11 top pieces and 4A/4B/etc) were not tall enough to cover the full pre-drilled spacing; as such there are gaps in the assembled version and the back board is in danger of falling out if jostled because it doesn't rest fully in the channel."
"The pre-drilled holes for assembly are not in the right position, so the pieces do not fit together properly."

Find Best Price at Amazon"He absolutely couldn't wait to get his little hands on this set and it's a good thing my husband is very handy and was able to put the table and all of the little pieces and structures together within a couple hours so our son could start playing with it right away. This set comes with a lot of pieces and I've included a couple pictures of the table so you can see what it looks like. This set also comes with a helipad, helicopter, small airport runway that consists of four puzzle pieces, a plane, a plastic mountain with a waterfall, a bridge, a turntable that really works, a crane, and small wooden pieces made to look like a hospital, police station, fire station, and gas station. We bought Orbrium Toys 12 Pcs Wooden Engines & Train Cars Collection Compatible with Thomas Wooden Railway, Brio, Chuggington which work perfectly with this set. We also have a number of the Thomas and Friends wooden trains such as Fisher-Price Thomas the Train Wooden Railway Thomas and Fisher-Price Thomas the Train Wooden Railway James Engine which are compatible with the wooden tracks in this set. I've even sat down on the floor and played with the table with them so kids of all ages can definitely benefit from this table set."
"Its really eaten up a lot of floor room so be prepared to sacrafice some space for it if your real estate is scarce. Also. one minor section that was pre-screwed and glued on to support the surface was cracked during assembly from over-tightening of screws, but it didn't effect the overall integrity so we gave that a pass. Our public library has a similar table (smaller) and they used a protective plexiglass to cover the surface. My boy also requested I add sirens and a star logo to the police car and firetruck which I happily obliged with some adhesive paper. I've bought a few Amazon warehouse deals now, and honestly if you are just buying for yourself, it really is worth taking a chance on."
"It has a huge train set with lots of extra accessories like little people, trees, and road signs. This table is great quality and could be interesting for a younger preschooler or older child who likes to build."
