Review on Safe Kidz Deluxe Rock Climbing Holds for Kids - Complete Outdoor Climbing Stones Kit with Swing Safe Fasteners & Drill Bit, Easy to Install on Various Lumber Thicknesses by Pete Hahn

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A good short-term inexpensive outdoor climbing gear for very young children.

Bought several sets to build a stone wall for my son's room. I wanted to build something that could grow and evolve over time, rather than being a short-term novelty, so I opted for the standard fully stacked holes every 8" offset by 4" to allow for different routes and hook movement be able. In addition to adding a set of real handles, I built an inclined section to add some complexity. You can't do that with these handles. Custom sized accessories for climbing equipment. It just fits snugly in their grips, so you can't mix it up. The t-shirt has no hooks so they don't get snagged on the tree, when you move the hooks they just slide out from the back. For an unassembled outdoor set this may be fine as you then just move it to where you move the handle. This is handy since you won't find such hardware in any store, but with a real stone wall you can't just remove them to fix a tee that wobbled or popped out when you moved the hook. It's probably great for little kids. But I wouldn't recommend it for kids over 7 years old as they outgrow the build and get bored if they don't get a chance to change anything for a few weeks. I wouldn't recommend it for an interior wall either as you can't mix with higher quality stones/difficulty persists so you're building something for a very short time, limited use. I will return them and try another brand. As I try to save the edges of the stone wall.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Out of fashion
