Getting the right outdoor toys for your little ones is often a challenging task. Just like clothes or any number of purchases for children, they often grow out of them within the same day. With outdoor toys like swings and climbing frames you’ve also got the daunting task of ensuring the structure is safe for toddlers, avoiding any gargantuan structures that are more suited for grown adults let alone children. At Mercia all our structures are built with safety in mind and that goes double for our range of outdoor toys, not only safe but designed to grow and change alongside your little ones.
The right swing for the job
It’s often the case that swing sets offer a one size fits all swing, neglecting those little ones who need some extra protection and security. Across our range of swing sets and towers we’ve ensured they’re safe for children of all ages. As a part of that safety is looking at the individual products, almost all have a twin, one featuring a standard child swing and one featuring a baby swing, great for ages 2, 3 and even some extra safety for 4 year olds.
But what happens when they grow out of their baby swing? A great question. We also offer individual children swings, so when your youngster has outgrown their baby swing you can switch it out for an age appropriate option without the need to purchase an entire new outdoor toy.
Safety First
Safety is always at the forefront of any design at Mercia and there is no greater testament to this, than in our range of outdoor toys. Our swing ranges are kept safe through carefully positioned pastel blue canvas barriers that ensure children only go up and down where they’re supposed to. For our tower range the upper levels also ensure children don’t go down where they’re not supposed to, with slatted wooden barriers on every side where there’s not a fun activity section.
What are the best outdoor toys for toddlers?
Due to the level of safety across the range and the option to upgrade your swing when the time is right there really isn’t any restrictions on what set to get. For some sets, it might be the case that the higher levels of a tower might be off limits for the time being but they’ll be ready as soon as they are. Alternatively, our smaller sets offer some on the ground fun.
Single Baby Seat Swing with Slide
The single baby swing and slide offers a relaxed but fun filled outdoor toy for toddlers and young children alike. The two activity areas are ideal for young children and toddlers, with of course the baby swing but also the safely designed slide and platform.
Double Swing with Single Baby Seat
The best of both worlds, a child’s swing and a baby swing. Great for siblings or for quickly growing children. Keeping the fun on the ground, avoiding any towers or raised platforms.
Climbing Frame with Slide, Swing & Baby Swing
The only tower option on our list combines the double swings, slides while adding a large tower that creates the ideal set for any 2, 3 or 4 year old. While being a large outdoor toy it isn’t overwhelming for you or for your children, offering a more reserved and relaxed play experience.
