Q: Is this for a toddler or a kindergartener? do the binoculars or compass work? Makes a BIG DIFFERENCE

Q: Does the compass work? Do the binoculars work all? Does the whistle work? Can you put anything in the canteen or sunscreen bottles?

    Backpack straps not adjustable

    Disappointed the backpack straps are not adjustable. The backpack just fits my 3 year old now and won't fit for too long. The rest of playset is cute and my daughter loves it. For the price point the backpack should have adjustable straps.

    SamJ89 - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
    My son liked this more than I thought he would have an originally I just wanted to find a backpack for him to play with. He actually been interested in the hiking theme itself and has pretended to go on exploring adventures. Yes, he’s already managed to lose some pieces however, what remains is constantly played with every day. He really loves the canteen. Overall, super happy with the decision to buy this and I would absolutely recommend it for a child to increase imagination play time.

    Compass doesnt work

    3 out of 5 stars
    Ctmomof2 - 3 years ago, Verified purchaser
    The set is cute but one of the reasons I got it for my son was to have a working compass. Is the compass supposed to work? If so, we got one that is defective because the arrow is crooked. Had gotten my daughter the binoculars and compass set so really wanted this set to contain both binoculars and a compass so they both had the same thing

    Very disappointed. Bought this for my 2-year-old son for Christmas & it was missing three pieces. We looked everywhere, they were not included even though they are advertised multiple times on the box. Other than that, it is a cute set.

    The kids loved it. The canteen can leak water but that’s pretty minor for the hours it’s been played with.

    Melanie - 4 years ago, Verified purchaser
    I had gotten one of these for one of my grandson's. I have 2 grandsons who are 8 months apart, so they are like twins, but cousins. So, there is a "dispute" every time about this - they both love the canteen, the binoculars and the backpack and, of course, the whistle. So, problem solved. I bought another. They both call the binoculars their "camera". Great package.
