Little Tikes 8-in-1 Adjustable PlaygroundThis playground makes going to the park almost obsolete! It's both a playhouse climber with an easy-opening door and a challenging climber with a crawl-through tunnel. One extra-long slide and one gentle slope slide allow older and younger children to play together. The Backyard NaturalsTM colors are fun for kids yet still blend in well with the backyard setting. Ages 2-8 years

Over 10 feet long from end to end--with portholes, doors, ladders, slides, nooks, and crannies galore--this molded-plastic playground promises years, if not decades, of entertainment before all of its possibilities can be exhausted. A 2-foot-long climb-through tunnel connects two separate, open-topped towers (one is 4.5 feet tall, the other 5.5). The shorter tower has a swinging door and windows, the larger one has two separate levels and two smooth-plastic slides (one is 3 feet long, the other 4). It's the perfect investment for bigger and smaller kids to play with together. But best of all, the playground can be disassembled and rebuilt into eight different configurations whenever the current setup loses its charm. With Little Tikes' typical rock-solid, kid-friendly construction, you can bet this sturdy playground will be around long enough for that to happen. --Paul Hughes
