what kind of play kitchen to get?

Any advice on which play kitchen to get when my twins turn two? something they can really play with together and won't fight over, a nice good one that should last.. any suggestions? thanks!

 

Yes! Step 2 50's Diner. I love that it has two sides, so they each can be on a different side. http://www.step2.com/product.cfm?product_id=1561
It has been a ton of fun for them. We bought it in Feb. and they step on the oven door all the time and it has held up. (not that I am recommending stepping on it, it is a no no

 

that one is ADORABLE with the diner on the other side!

we have a used one my sil found us, its perfect, similar size. Its the Little Tikes one that's a corner one that is similar to this one. I really recommend one this size, and not a really small one. Like the pp said, ours open the oven door and try to stand a bit higher... (like 2 inches is going to make a big difference!) anyway, its very sturdy.

 

I think no matter what play kitchen you get them, they will love it. My kids absolutely love their play kitchen and they play with it every day.
We got them the Step 2 Custom Kitchen

 

We got this kitchen for the girls at Christmas and they love it.

We got this one for the girls for Christmas last year Play Kitchenand they play with it everyday! It didn't come with much play food so I bought a few of the wooden food sets from Melissa & Doug Play Food & More Play Foodand it's a huge hit. I don't think you can go wrong with any kitchen, find one that's in your budget and enjoy the freedom

 

We have the Step 2 Custom Kitchen too. We purchased it over the weekend and it has been a huge hit!!!

 

I agree that you need to find one that fits your budget, and your house space, and they will love it!

We have this one by Little Tikes and my kids have all played with it.

 

I really like the play kitchen that Ikea sells. It's called the "duktig". My boys love to play with it when we are at the store. (If I could afford it this is the one we would get!)

What I like is that it is a nice and simple classic wooden kitchen. Wood toys have a nice timeless quality to them and they just look (usually) very gender-neutral.

Also, you can purchase those fancy "melissa & doug" wooden kitchen food to go with your new playset!

We bought this one for our oldest DS when he was 2.5 years old (he's now almost 6) and it was a hit with him and it is now a hit with his little brothers. It is two-sided, so a kid can be playing on each side (helps in avoiding fights! LOL).

Good luck!

 

We have the Fisher Price Laugh n Learn Kitchen. They love it!
