picnic tables

We have the Little Tikes Jr. picnic table. It's great for my girls (we use it in the kitchen for breakfast and lunch :good: ) but if their friends come over, there's hardly enough room for 4 plates. So we want to get a new one for them and I've looked at the following ones:

Top choice right now: Step 2 Naturally Playful

Little Tikes Endless Adventure

Do you have one of these? Likes? Dislikes? Could it fit 2 sets of three year olds comfortably??

 

We have the Endless adventure one and it's GREAT!! :good: It can fit four very easily. We've had more at the table (a little more squishy) but it was doable. Go for that one.

 

We have the step 2, and my good friend has the Little Tikes endless adventure. I like them both just fine (as do the kids), but there is definitely more room with the little tikes one. I also think 4 kids could easily fit in the step 2 one as well. I guess it is just a matter of personal preference, and which one you like better and have the room for.

 

:laughing: Hey!! You're not helping!!

We have room for both and I like both. So...choose one for me.

 

We have the Step 2 one. It can fit 6 small children, but it's a tight squeeze.

What I like is that it's nice and sturdy, and the umbrella is a nice feature. But the thing that's a little weird is that it has slight depressions in the benches where 6 little butts are supposed to go -- which is fine if you do actually have 6 kids at once, but if you have fewer, it seems weird that they can only sit in one of the spots where the depressions are.

This comment (from the ToysRUs website) is also true:
"I'm taking off 1 star, however, because the "wood" grooves make it difficult to clean. I have to use a scrub brush to get the dirt and food out."
I don't know if other picnic tables are like that or not.

I would go for the Endless Adventure one if I had it to do over again.

 

I would go for the Endless Adventure one as well because you can fold and store. :good:

 

Thanks ladies. I appreciate the input! :bow2:

 

Same here! :good:

 

We have a little tikes one (can't find a pic of it) that is about 38 or 40 inches long and fits six preschoolers pretty comfortably. We've done 8 but it's tight. Maybe the measurement will help? I really do like the one with four benches!

eta: Here is one that's almost like mine. Our's doesn't have the umbrella or the indentation in the middle and was only like $30 (but that was 9 or so years ago!).

 

I like that one!! The Step 2 I posted was my favorite, until Alden pointed out that it has the butt indentations. I like the one you posted because it is still picnic table style without the butt indentations. It's identical to the one we have now, just the bigger version. :good: THANKS!!

 

Was checking out the links and saw this one and it's on sale. It's Endless Adventure Easy Store, but no umbrella.
