Hey all,
I am trying to locate one of those big caterpillar tunnels that go in the garden that kids can go through and climb on. They are segmented and all bright colours, with huge feet.
I have tried googling for it but just can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know what I am talking about and where I can find one please.

Thank you

Thankyou all. That is the one I meant. I am fed up of spending money on cheap resources that don't even last a season. I am going to save up and get a better quality item and this will save me money in the long run I think.

Unfortunately not - the age range is 3+ & we all know what happens if we go against the manufacters guidance:(

The problem with it being used by under 2s is they are not always able to climb up and hold on properly and for them its a fair way to fall - starting another lot of risk assessments and H&S issues :rolleyes:

We used to have one at a toddler group I went to and I used to dread it being out - dont get me wrong I love the toy but Im not sure how 'safe' it is if that makes sense for the under 3s

Our playgroup cum toddler group have this and it's very popular.

It would be dangerous for under 3's if they tried to climb on it's back but the littlies love crawling through it and peeping through the holes on it.

You would have to supervise it very closely if under 3's were using it - it is a lovely toy though.
