Welcome to the Step2 Company Toy Tester program!

The Toy Tester program is a recently launched program designed by the Step2 Company to get some of our newest products into your hands in exchange for your honest reviews. As a program member, you'll be periodically invited to choose products to sample at completely no cost to you. Some of these products may not yet be available to the general public, so your opinion could be among the first we receive.

The Step2 Company does not influence the opinions of Toy Tester members, nor do we modify or edit reviews. All reviews collected through this program will be labeled as such on www.step2.com or our affiliated sites. When products are not yet available to the general public, we'll save your reviews and post them once they are.

Toy Tester program members must reside in the 48 contiguous United States so that we are able to ship to you.
