With new restrictions being placed upon us due to the covid-19 outbreak, we are going to be spending more and more time at home. If you have young children, you’ll already know that they’ll become restless if they don’t get to spend some time playing outside, and at the moment the only place they can safely do that is at home, in the garden.Assembling the seesaw was fairly simple and straightforward, and once completed, the toy stood 60cm high and was 194cm long. This coating remains active for the entire product lifespan and can actually help in prolonging the life of products, where a build up of microbes may cause premature material degradation.

Children always love it when you can engage with them during playtime, but with most kid’s seesaws that just is not possible due to weight and size restrictions. Can you imagine trying to climb on the crocodile seesaw we reviewed with your toddler? Not a good idea. If you don’t mind paying a bit more for your kid’s seesaw, you can actually buy a product that allows for people of all ages to play on it. Namely, the Gym Dandy home seesaw. So, how can you turn your garden into a place your children want to play in for longer than 5 minutes at a time? Well, if you can’t take them to the park, why not bring the park to them, by installing a garden swing, slide, or that classic, playground icon: the see-saw? Your toddler’s social skills are developing! Encourage their imagination with toys that promote creativity and roleplay, while bigger play sets can help them become more comfortable in group play. Shop 24 Months - 3 Years At this age, imagination knows no bounds – anything is possible! They love reading books, playing dress-up and being active with you! Shop 4 - 5 years Because the vast majority of kid’s seesaws have an age and weight limit, their use is limited and your child will eventually outgrow it. With this in mind, you should think about how much you want to pay based on how many years you think you’ll get out of it. That being said, please don’t scrimp and go for the cheapest product available, as most of these have questionable build quality and safety. SizeBeneath the seats there is a bump absorber, that thankfully isn’t too long and doesn’t stop you from having fun. Large and strong handlebars are situated in front of the seats, and these have soft material on the ends for a better grip, and also to stop your hands from getting cold. Even though this is a very strong kid’s seesaw, it isn’t very large and will only take up 218.44 x 86.36 x 85.09 cm of space in your garden. It is comparatively heavy at 17.24 kilograms though. Still, this extra weight just adds to the excellent stability of the product. Thanks to some top-quality materials being used, such as the premium quality steel frame, this seesaw can take up to 300 pounds in weight. Now that’s a strong kid’s toy. What’s more, the seats are not the usual plastic ones you find on most products, but large, padded, fabric ones that are very comfortable to sit on. You will have to remember to cover the seats with plastic or similar when it rains though or they’ll get soaked.

In the centre of the seesaw are three swirl shaped legs that act as the base, and once they are anchored down, they are actually very stable. Here we take a look at the factors you should be considering before parting ways with your money for a kid’s seesaw. Price You need to be aware of how big the seesaw will be when fully assembled, and make sure that you have enough space in your garden to house it. I would never recommend placing a seesaw on a hard area like a patio, so ideally, you need enough space on your lawn for the seesaw, or be ready to put jigsaw mats down or something similar for safety reasons. Recommended age range If you’ve got more than two children and you don’t want to hear them fighting over whose turn it is to play on the new seesaw, this product from Hedstrom might be right up your street.

Seesaws

gyratory motion, ideal for low foaming agitation, DNA extractions, staining and de-staining procedures Assembly was easier than I thought it was going to be, however I did notice one of the pilot holes for the screws didn’t quite line up and I was forced to drill another one, rather than have things misaligned. This could just have been a one off though, and wasn’t too badly misaligned, so I won’t judge too harshly. This versatility is something I liked about Dantoy’s product, as some children might not have access to play with other kids, and this seesaw still allows them to enjoy the experience. Easy to set up, great fun to play with, and very strong and stable. If you don’t mind spending the extra for your kid’s seesaw, this one comes highly recommended. Seesaws have age ranges, but in advertising I find that the maximum age is often exaggerated, so you should cut off a couple of years from this. For example, a kid’s seesaw that is said to be good for children aged 3 to 10, is probably going to be better for 3 to 8 year-olds, in reality. Maximum weight

The seesaw looks really nice, with a dark blue, powder coated, steel frame and orange seats playing off each other well to create an eye catching colour scheme. The steel used feels strong too, and I doubt your kids will be able to cause damage to the structure of the seesaw, even with rough play. This unique additive is applied during the manufacturing process and contains trace levels of active silver ions which provide an effective anti-microbial action, active against many strains of common bacteria and fungi, including Aspergillus niger, E.coli and Listeria mono. The blue, powder coated, steel frame feels very solid, as do the plastic seats which have been designed to be ergonomic to provide comfort. In addition to the pneumatic wheels, this kid’s seesaw also features large, high profile handlebars. I really liked these as they allow for the children to sit comfortably while adding an extra element of safety. The handlebars have soft grips on them so your kids will be able to get a good grip even when wearing gloves in chillier weather. Your baby’s about to become a confident little mover – rolling and crawling are on the horizon. Encourage their new-found mobility with toys that engage them physically. Shop 6 - 9 months

A Modern Take

Once fully built, this seesaw measures 194cm long, so make sure you’ve got enough room to house this in your garden, and don’t forget that it needs that amount of space in every direction as it spins. I did see a bit of a problem when it was used on a hard surface such as a patio though, as there was some sliding around of the toy. On grass, or on carpet, it is perfectly fine and very stable.
