Super Swingball

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Swings- Slides and Climbing Frames
from: Mookie


I'm known amongst my friends for being clumsy and generally unfit.
I can't play tennis for toffee and so I decided to get this to improve my hand/eye co-ordination and to also get a bit of a workout.
Easy to assemble and you can alter the height of the pole and the length of the twine to suit.
I've found it great on my own (the neightbours get value for money entertainment too) and when I played friends and family at the weekend I had an even better time.
Added bonus - my brother pointed out it's another way of aerating the lawn as it can get loose and need moving if you are playing a hard hitting game and/or have soft soil.
I love this and wonder how I got to 40 without having owned one before.

All Surface Swingball

This toy looks good the way it's packaged as a 'carry anywhere' toy. We were looking forward to playing it in the garden, at the beach, camping etc.
BUT....the thing can not stand up! A couple of not even very hard whacks and the pole dislodges from it's holder in the stand and falls over.
I didn't buy this from Amazon, but I'm taking it back to the 'never knowingly undersold' retailer and asking for my money back.

Leisureplay 6ft Wavy Slide

from: MV Sports & Leisure


OK - so it is cheap. That is about all one can say about it that is positive.

It was bought for our 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son.

It took 4 hours to put together, principally because the instructions are very poor and the slide is not well designed - all the screws seem to be a few millimetres too short - thus having problems getting all the washers on.

I had to drill a new hole in the plastic slide because one was more than 1 centimetre out.

When constructed, the product is very very flimsey.

The picture is misleading - the wave in the slide is not half way down - but 2/3 of the way down - so children get thrown up in the air and land at the bottom of the slide where ... Read More:

Hedstrom Junior Trampoline

Good toy but I didn't realise how difficult this would be to put together. The frame was easy to bolt together with the allen key & spanner provided but stretching the elastic cord around the frame to attach the mat took ages & gave me a couple of blisters (it does recommend 2 adults do this part) but with an excited 4 yr old wanting to bounce & my husband at work I persevered.

Hedstrom See-Saw

Childrens Toy Shop > Toys > Swings- Slides and Climbing Frames
from: Hedstrom


I have three children, ages between 7 and 2, and they all love this toy. They get most enjoyment when a friend arrives who's similar in size, because then they can balance the beam while pushing themselves around and around with the swivel action (and then suddenly stopping so that they nearly throw each other onto the ground -- oh, the games children play!).

The two-year-old can only play with an older child doing all the work, but she will stay on it for an hour if someone would indulge her for that long.

Gripe-wise, there's only really one: the spikes on the bottom of the seats don't half tear-up the grass! I suppose if the see-saw didn't also swivel, then you could put something like boards underneath the seats to ... Read More:
