AmazonBasics Soft Play Single Tunnel Reviews Summary

Quality and Durability

Pros:

• "These high grade, durable pieces are a great two piece set with rich colors, slip resistant bottoms and Velcro to connect pieces."
• "It’s great quality. Easy to wash-down."
• "Foam was nice and sturdy, didn’t smell of chemicals and will likely last her a long time."
• "They’re soft and durable. No sharp edges."
• "Sturdy, but not hard enough to hurt when he falls, hasn't dented when he bites it."
• "The interior foam has the perfect balance between firm and plush."
• "The pieces have some squish, but are sturdy enough that an adult man can stand on them and they aren't permanently affected."

Cons:

• "The bottom of it (the black part) smells like straight up raw fish."
• "It smells funny."
• "The material seems to be stretching a tiny bit so I'm not sure how this will hold up."
• "When leaned on the vinyl permanently stretches."
• "The 'fabric' type cover gets kind of warped with a lot of use."
• "The vinyl is peeling in areas, and some of the cushions are permanently indented from being used."
• "The wedge piece has a cover that has slid down and no longer made it smooth."

Design and Configuration

Pros:

• "I absolutely love this corner style climber by Amazon Basics!"
• "The triangle piece can be used as a tiny slide which is very fun for her."
• "I think this is super cute with the pastel colors they chose."
• "I love that all the pieces can be velcro together so they don't slide apart."
• "You can put it together in different sections easily."
• "Highly value the sturdy Velcro strips to hold modular pieces together."
• "The pieces stick very well together."

Cons:

• "Our only complaint is that the tunnel isn't really big enough for our 1 year old to crawl through."
• "The pieces slip and slide and don’t stay together."
• "Only complaint is the price, not sure why they need to be $200 for some foam blocks lol."
• "If you don't set them up in the exact same configuration as the picture shown, you can't get the pieces to all velcro."
• "The long cylinder is useless."
• "The tunnel is not wide enough for a baby or toddler to crawl through."
• "The only con is the way the pieces attach to each other."

Value and Satisfaction

Pros:

• "Loved the price, all comparable products were significantly more expensive."
• "It’s a great way to keep him busy and active on cold winter days."
• "Can’t beat it for the price!"
• "Comparison shopped, and although surprised overall how much these cost, this had most value at lower price."
• "For the price you cant beat it!"
• "The price for this set was perfect."
• "This is worth the cost!"

Cons:

• "It is a good product but it took almost a month for us yo get rid of the strong plastic smell."
• "It was a little over priced, but I am satisfied with it."
• "Kids do not play with it as much as I thought."
• "Unfortunately, the tunnel is very small. My daughter is 11 months and can barely fit."
• "I think it is overpriced you can get it cheaper elsewhere."
• "Bummed out because it was so pricey!"
• "Was not the quality we expected. Went to return and the return shipping costs more than the item! $330!"

Functionality and Play

Pros:

• "It the perfect height for my 9 month and one year old to climb up and down on."
• "Our baby girl absolutely loves it!"
• "Pro: The babies love it, and it developers their motor skills at the same time!"
• "It has effectively taught him how to climb steps forward and backwards, balance while pulling up, slide up and down the ramp, and take tumbles like they're nothing."
• "It also helped with core strength needed to improve walking ability which I wanted."
• "This is my daughters most played with toy, I love it."
• "The foam pieces are soft enough to cushion a fall but firm enough for little climbers to strengthen their muscles and improve coordination and motor skills."

Cons:

• "But the wedge is very steep, so for my baby just about to crawl, it’s rather challenging."
• "Product seems great in the few days we’ve had this product, however I can’t get past the smell!"
• "The product quality is poor. Gave it to our daughter for Christmas, and the material is already worn down."
• "I would advise on cushioning around this because she does fall off sometimes."
• "My only hang up with this thing is that the pieces don’t have Velcro on all of the bottom sides so you become very limited on the arrangement if you want it to stay fixed together."
• "The long cylinder is useless."
• "The tunnel is not wide enough for a baby or toddler to crawl through."
