Cranium® Mega Fort
Cranium® Mega Fort
Customer Review: Top Drawer, But A Bit Wobbly
We bought this for our 4 year old's birthday. We saw the superfort by Cranium, but opted for the Megafort - a wise decision!!! I think that the limited pieces of the superfort would have been frustrating for the kids.
It was easy for them to link the parts with the little magnetic connectors, and they went nuts creating all the strangest structures imaginable. Overall it's a hit.
Having said that, our boys (3 of them) love their forts, and the darker, more cave-like the better. However, we found that it isn't really that sturdy. There is a limited number of nylon-type "wall panels" to hide from the surrounding world, so we thought we could suppliment with blankets..... wrong! It will knock the building over due to the excess weight, after all it's wobbly even without the non-cranium blankets.
Our next task is to look for extra wall panels, I'm sure that I can either buy "cranium" ones or look at Wal-Mart for something that would do the trick.
It seems durable, but only time will tell.
Cheers.
Customer Review: Super Fort = Super Fun!!!
I purchased this product for my 5 yr old step son. He and his brother (8 yrs) play with this fort all of the time. They are either playing in it, around it, or with it! They have a blast creating different environments! If they're having fun, I am having fun. The only things that kept this fort from receiving 5 stars is the lack of sturdiness, even though I don't think it matters because a 5 yr old will knock anything down no matter how sturdy. I think it should also have a couple more cloth shades and clips (at least enough to go around all sides of the basic fort design). Other than that, I completely recommend this product.
