Toys and Games Reviews of Step2 Crabbie Sandbox
Customer Review: 10 years & STILL fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this sandbox almost 10 years ago, and it is STILL in service in our backyard today. Over the years, we've used it as a sandbox AND a kiddie pool. The lid has also doubled as a kiddie pool. We live on the pacific northcoast where we get a lot of rain, and we've never had a problem with the lid leaking or blowing off. It fits perfectly under the slide tower of our swing set. My 9 year old still uses the sandbox. He & a friend can each sit on a "claw" & dig in the sand. Now, I'm buying a new one to give to my nephew for his 1st birthday. I know it's kind of expensive for "just" a sandbox, but really, it will last and last. Well worth it!Customer Review: Very Durable!
Summary: 5 Stars
This sandbox is a fantastic buy! We got it for my 2-year old last year, and she loves it. It's roomy enough for two or three, and the lid, though it may appear flimsy, is fantastically durable and, as long as it's fitted properly on top of the box, will NOT blow off. In fact, the second night we had it, there was a huge rainstorm with lots of wind: I thought sure there would be a big mess in my backyard, but was I shocked in the morning to find the whole box intact and nothing but dry sand under the lid! Amazing. This is a great toy, and very popular with my daughter and her friends. The color has not faded a bit that I can tell from last season.Customer Review: A great sandbox for the buck
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow, sandboxes can be expensive! I looked at all of the sandboxes before I bought this one. The little tikes frog sandbox was the most inexpensive one I could find, but it could only really fit 2 toddlers in it. I didn't want to spend too much on a sandbox, but didn't want to go cheap in the material as well. So I went the next step up, to this one. It is really sturdy, and my 2yr old son can sit on it's claws, or sit inside. The lid is a little flimsy, but it closes well, and I don't have to worry about "little intruders." And it can hold more than 2 toddlers so he can invite his friends over for some sun and sand.Customer Review: Good Sandbox for Toddlers
Summary: 4 Stars
This sandbox got such good reviews that I didn't hesitate to purchase it. My 17-month old son loves it. It is very durable and it should have enough room for his twin sisters that are due soon. It says that it holds up to 300lbs of sand, but we only needed 200 lbs. If you put all 300 lbs of sand in it, it would spill over the sides when kids play in it. My only complaint is about the lid. It doesn't have any latches on it to secure it to the sandbox. A strong wind would surely blow it off. My husband put a strap under it and hooked a bungee cord onto the strap to hold it in place when Colin isn't using it.Customer Review: Great ... for a sandbox
Summary: 4 Stars
I wouldn't have wanted one smaller than the Crabbie ... it's not huge, but in comparison to others, this is a good/great size.
We've yet to have a problem with rain/water getting in (have had it about 4mos) and didn't bungee cord it down as it appears others have. The cover seems to do just fine on it's own for us (even through some pretty severe wind/rain storms).
And you definitely do not need to fill the box to capacity (and spend the extra $$$). We filled it about 1/2 way for our 2-year old and believe me, there's enough sand in there for him to make a sandy mess!
