Review on Climbing Platform Backyard Playground by Juegoal by Shane Sanchez

I give this product 4 stars because it looks like a well built, durable and easy to install product that I'm sure kids will enjoy age will prepare. . Unfortunately it wasn't ideal for a 4 year old. It takes A LOT of arm strength to get the job done and I suspect the average 4-5 year old wouldn't want to put in the energy/effort required. Even trying to stand on the sheave and hold on to the rope was nearly impossible as the sheave would flex slightly with even the slightest load. You have to lift your holey body and barely put your foot down for it to balance. Then, as soon as you start, you put a lot of effort into staying balanced. The same when the daughter tried to sit on it. She spent too much effort trying to find a balance instead of just having fun. Of course you have to learn how to use it, but constantly having to pull yourself up with your arms seemed tiring. In short it's probably a great product for what you can do with it if you want to. And physically above. But for our daughter (and eventually our 2 year old son) it felt like too much work and not enough fun.
