 wonderful toyFeb 08, 2000
This is a terrific toy for children of all ages. My daughter is one year old and she absolutely loves it. We play peek-a-boo, hide-and-go-seek, and an endless amout of other games. We bring it every where we go, to friends and family's home where she doesn't have toys to play with. It's easy to fold up, it folds up so it takes a minimal amount of room. Where every we take it, it's a hit. Everyone asks how we got the idea to buy this, how much it costs, and where we purchased it. Every child should have one! Even hour 60 pound siberian husky goes through it to play with our daughter. We've had about 6 months now and we still use it a lot. My daughter's 3 year old cousin also enjoys it as much as she.

The BEST !Jan 07, 2004
By Tabby
My kids ages 2 1/2 and 18 months LOVE this tunnel. We got it for the kids for Christmas and keep it put away and bring it out about 3X a week in the evenings when we have had a slow day and the kids didn't get any energy out. They go CRAZY, they play and run and scream and crack up! My husband drags them through the house super fast and they sit in it and laugh their butts off. You can play peek a boo, or roll balls through it, the possibilities are endless! It's by far the BEST gift. The kids don't fight over it, no one gets hurt, it doesn't break, it's SO cool ! It folds in no time and folds so small, it doesn't take up any room. BUY THIS!!!

By Christine LaBollita
My 9 year old daughter and my 10 month old son had a ball with this. They laughed giggled and played for hours. It was nice to see them both enjoy the same activity together.

A MUST HAVE toddler toy!Mar 27, 2004
By Dawn
My daughter is 1yrs old and this is her absolutely favorite toy! She spends endless hours day in and day out in it. Her 7yr old Aunt plays with her in it everytime she comes over too. It folds up and expands with in seconds. It really is a MUST HAVE toy for any toddler!! We are even buying a second tunnel to attach them together for her 2nd birthday. My advice: "Just buy it"!

Encourages crawling, easy to store, and my 8.5 month old loves it!Feb 26, 2006
By C. Chen
It's amazing how something so simple can spark excitement and enthusiasm in babies and toddlers. A friend had this out at her 1-year-old's party and all of the kids loved playing in it and carrying it around as if it were a long train. My 8.5 month old watched all the other kids crawling through and having so much fun that he crawled over and peered down the tunnel. I thought he'd be too scared to go through, but since he seemed curious I decided to sit him up on one side while I ran to the other and spoke to him. Instantly, he smiled at me and started crawling toward me through the tunnel. He was laughing and seemed to enjoy the interesting view and sensation of going through the tunnel. Since he's still working on his crawling and seemed to love the tunnel so much, I bought one from our local Toys R Us store and he loves playing with it!
What's great:
- Folds up to a compact ring for storage/travel - approximately 19" diameter (size of the tunnel) and 2-3 inches thick.
- See through windows allow for added fun/peek-a-boo
- Velcro tabs to connect to tents and other tunnels gives added flexibility to how it can be used
- Encourages crawling/floor time in babies - my little guy also likes to sit up and look around in it, or just lie around and rock in it (since it's free-standing). Considering that he's just discovered standing and and can't seem to get enough of pulling himself up on everything, it's a good way to keep encouraging him to strengthen his crawling/sitting skills.
Durability:
- It seems relatively sturdy, and really "pops" open nicely. Don't know how it will stand up in the long-term.
- Be careful with the velcro on the mesh windows - it can stick to the windows and snag it a bit.
- At my friend's party, I did notice that the older kids (3-4 years old) really wanted to jump on it and smush the walls - not a good idea in case there are kids still crawling through the tunnel and/or because the tunnel walls are not meant to withstand that kind of play, but from their point of view, I can see how tempting it may be to jump on it and see the tunnel pop back up.
