The F.A.Q. for Little Helper Broom Set (Schylling)

Any time i try to sweep the kitchen floor my toddler insists on using the broom first. I found this little set and the sizing is perfect, it's actually slightly too big for him which is perfect so he can grow into it. He grabbed it and started trying to sweep as soon as i had the broom screwed into the handle! it comes with a broom, brush and dust pan - exactly what we use so he could mimic perfectly.

A number of questions have been asked here.

Q&A

(0) Question: Is this broom set durable for a 3 yr. old?

(1) Question: Based on recent reviews i can't tell whether this set is durable and well made or a waste of money

(2) Question: The warning says small parts choking hazard - what part would that be?

(3) Question: The broom handle broke, and just cutting down a regular adult broom handle to replace it doesn't work. where can i buy a sturdy replacement handle?

(4) Question: Why is the 'girly' pink set 15 bucks but other colorful nuteral one is 10 bucks?

(5) Question: Does the handle screw out of the brush? i'm hoping to make it shorter to fit it in a suitcase .

(6) Question: Is there something about this broom that makes it better than just getting a regular broom and cutting the handle down?

(7) Question: Will this scratch wood floors? i want to buy this for grandma's house, but her floors are beautiful hardwood!

(8) Question: Does this actually work? my 3 year old wants to sweep with me but my broom is too big. will it pick up dirt or is it just for play?

Best little helper broom set (schylling) in review

My 6, 4, and 2 year old grandprincesses are loving the set! i actually got two sets - one for my house, one for theirs. My daughter loves them having the set to be able to help clean the kitchen! (ok, to be honest, the two older ones help and the 2 year old . "helps" - but it's good training, right? ) in fact, my daughter uses the broom herself for little jobs (which somehow the 2 yr. Old contributes to more than her share of creating. Go figure. ) once the weather warms up, the grands can't wait to use the tools here on the patio and sidewalk outside, instead of having to settle for just a fir branch. Time will tell if the broom handle has issues such as some other reviewers complain of. I'll update if so.

We bought this for our 15 month old son because he likes to get our kitchen broom and carry it around the house. To no surprise, he loves this broom set just as much as the real thing, and has been carrying the broom around non-stop. . The handle on this broom is, of course, kid-sized, making it easier for the little ones to tote it around without bumping the stick into things in the house. Our 15 month-old has no issues carrying it. The small broom and scoop are just as cool as the broom, but honestly, our son just sticks to the big broom mostly. . Pros:. - lightweight, short handle broom for the small kids. - the brooms are actually made quite well, and could really be used to clean up if needed. - handle has a hole to hang it out of the way (with the real brooms) when done playing. . Cons:. - honestly, i can't think of anything. . Overall, this is a great set for little kids, especially if they already show interest in the real brooms in the house. It's amazing how the simple things can entertain kids so well.

For some strange reason, my son loves sweeping. He is about 2 and loves playing with this set. It is well built and hasn't come apart yet so for the price i have no complaints. He often "helps" sweep when we are cleaning the house.

My little helper loves her broom set. This set is sturdy enough to be used by an active toddler on a messy kitchen floor. I have even used it myself for a quick clean up of smaller messes and it works well. It is a great way for littles to help out with cleaning!

Bottom line. I recommend this product for real-household use. . Experience. My preschooler has had the responsibility of cleaning the floor after meal times since she could walk. I used to give her a regular-sized hand broom and dust pan to use. While she got the job done, it was obvious that she would be more comfortable and with a downsized version. . Since receiving this product, my child is more confident and loves that she now has a "full-size' broom in addition to the hand broom. The bristles are stiff enough to clean up real messes. She has used these products to not only sweep up food, but to also sweep up messes such as the wood chips she brings in from the playground. . This product is not used as a toy, so it is holding up quite well for our use. My preschooler is just under 40'; i think she still can use this as she continues to grow. I have used it a few times just to test it out; i believe that an adult/child in the height range would be comfortable using this for real-life cleaning.

Great quality! highly recommend! after reading poor reviews for cheaper sets i thought this was priced reasonably for what you get! so glad i purchased! bought for my 16 month old and she loves it! bristles on the broom are soft! could really use as my broom if i had to!

I bought this for my son for christmas when he turned 1, today he's 3 and we both still love it and use it. One of the reasons i bought him this set in particular was the primary colors didn't make me feel like i was buying him a "girl's toy". He kept wanting to use the big broom to help mommy clean up, one issue i had with that idea was he couldn't really control the broom and stuff was getting everywhere. This little broom, dustpan, and brush were the perfect answer to our little standoff on trying to be mister independent when mommy had only enough patience to clean it up the first time. It was perfect for his height and it's a fully functioning set. I tend to grab his little brush and dustpan when there are little piles of messes around our home. The set is fully plastic and has withstood being thrown, stepped on, jumped on, and various other traumas that haven't managed to make it break. It's definitely a toy that has stood the test of time and a toddler. I couldn't see a reason to not love this little set. I think the only thing i would have like may have been for it to come in it's own box so i could wrap it up, but thankfully little ones aren't really picky if their presents are wrapped or not. I can see this being still in use for a few more years to come, when i have to replace it because he's too tall and hopefully still wants to help mommy clean everything. One can wish and hope right? . . I received this product at a discounted rate or free in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

My 16 month old son loves this set. He kept going in the closet and digging out the normal broom, but the handle is just too long for him. Then i found this set. He has played with it every day for a over week now. It actually sweeps nicely, you can get dirt into the dust pan, the little sweeper fits in the dust pan. Very practical toy and good for teaching life skills. The reason i took off one star is my husband accidentally stepped on it and bent the broom handle fairly easily. He did bend it back slightly but didn't want to go too far since it would have came apart. Now the broom head is at a slight angle but my son doesn't care (and i'm sure he doesn't even notice). I would buy this again.

This is a real deal broom set. My 2 year old loves the regular broom and dustpan! he wants to carry it through the house and sweep up everything! cute, but yuck! plus my broom and pan are way too big for him. So, i did what i do best and looked on online store. For $10 bucks, i got a three piece set that is sized for a toddler and has never been used to clean up actual messes. The broom handle screws into the head of broom and the hand broom clips into the dust pan when not in use. The bristles are not as good as a real broom, but darn near close. My son is 36" tall (i'm 5'10". We're a tall family) and i can tell he will not outgrow it for quite a while. Now, he "cleans up" whenever he wants to or he "helps" mama with his broom when i'm sweeping the floor. I don't have to fight him for the actual broom and it's less germy. I also like how it looks like a grown broom and dustpan. Others are too cartoony and fake. My son knows the difference and would not have been receptive to others. It's just like when he was a baby i gave him play phone so he'd stop with my phone. That lasted all of 5 seconds and he immediately went after the real phone. He just knows. So if your son is like mine, you will not be disappointed. This set is essentially just a kid sized broom and dust pan.

I purchased this bc my toddler was beginning to take the broom anytime we started to sweep. I decided to give her her own so that she could learn to use one and so we could actually clean up a bit at the same time. She was absolutely thrilled when i took it out of the box, and still often carries it around. She's had it for a month or two and is learning how to sweep. She still isn't much of a help, but she's trying, and this is a perfect size for a toddler. I'm glad i purchased this now-i can see this working her until she's about 5 or 6. It seems sturdy, similar to a regular adult size broom. I guess we'll find out long term over time.

Have had this for over a year and it has kept up well with regular toddler use! i have even cleaned up many a spill with it when the "real broom" has been a room too far over to get to, ha. Teach 'em to do their chores, starting out as a toy couldn't get any better.

A. Julia, Portsmouth says

Overall, good broom. Comes with a broom and a little handheld broom. My son likes to clean along with me and would scream if i was sweeping and wouldn't give him the broom, so i decided to get his own and every time he sees me sweep, he runs grabs his broom and helps me. Unfortanely, he did get it stuck under the door and tried to lift it up himself and he ended up snapping it. Got about 6 months of use out of it. Will order another one. The broom is better than mine, i even used it sometimes! lol

I like this broom, and it's not for a kid, it's for me. Its small size is perfect to tuck right next to the toilet, in a bathroom with a cat box. It seems about every ten seconds the damn cat is stepping in there and leaving painful (for bare feet) little bits of cat litter all over our tile floor. So instead of having to drag the vacuum from wherever the heck it is in the house to that particular bathroom every eleven seconds, i just grab this handy little broom to sweep the granules of pain off to the side until the next vacuuming. The synthetic bristles have a good stiffness, and they are dense enough to do the job well. And this adult is just fine with the bright primary colors. I have no opinion on the dust bin and little broom that comes with it - going to give that away.
