Best Children's Slides and Swings

We always had these Children's Slides and Swings somewhere nearby when I was a child and I can remember hours of fun on them. They are also a great way for children to get some exercise and to have a lot of outdoor fun.

There are so many things to love about a slide. If you remember those days as a young child in grade school, it seemed as if the slide always had the longest line of all the playground equipment.

It was like a mini roller coaster for one. When it came your turn to slide down, it was almost a bittersweet experience because before you know it, you're already at the bottom. Children's slides are safe, fun and encourage adventure in children.

These children's slides come in a covered (tube style) and uncovered (traditional slide style). The featured models do not come with the platform or ladder so you can install them on your existing playground equipment or build a platform ladder for them.

If you’ve never been down a slide before, than you’re probably missing out on one of the most exhilarating experiences ever. Almost every child has gone down a slide at least once in their life. It may have been at a school playground, a local park, or a swing set in their own backyard. No childhood is complete without a sliding experience.

Slides are everywhere and aren’t just limited to playgrounds. You see them at carnivals, amusement parks, water parks and even at family friendly restaurants.

Children’s Slides can provide hours of fun and entertaining activity. Great for every age, there are slides that can accommodate children as young as 18 to 24 months old. Toddler slides are typically for indoors, but can also be used for outdoors like in your backyard. They’re made of highly durable plastic and are only about 2 to 3 feet long.

But in those few short feet, your child can have the time of his life going up and down, over and over again. Longer and bigger slides are great for older kids.

This is a fun and safe swing and slide combo that your kids can enjoy inside the home or outdoors in the yard.

It features an animal themed playset with a secured monkey swing complete with double belt buckle and crotch strap along with a front guard. It also has an elephant slide with a two stepladder.

When assembled, the multicolored playset measures 48 ¾ inches long, 49 inches deep and 42 inches high. Its maximum weight capacity is 59 pounds.

Kids love playgrounds and it’s because of all the fun things you can play with. Slides and swings are one of the most popular features of any playground or play set.

You can never swing high enough or go down the slide enough times and when it comes to made up adventures and pretend play, these elements can turn into numerous creative settings, obstacles or transportation vehicles.

Below are a few different types of children’s slides and swings you might want to bring home to your little ones.

Children’s Slides come in many different designs. Some slides are open and are angled straight down. These are the traditional kinds that resemble a long rectangular shape.

Other slides are either semicircular or tubular and can either curve or wind down in a slight spiral motion. The semicircular and tubular slides are the safer and newer models. Semicircular slides have higher walls on the sides compared to the traditional slides, making for a safer slide. The tubular designs are enclosed all around, which makes it impossible for a child to fall out of one before hitting the ground.

Children’s slides are sold separately or can come with a swing set. They’re usually made from materials such as metal or strong plastic. Slides are so fun that people are even incorporating them inside their homes and in their children’s bedrooms.

There are also pool side slides and tree house slides. There are so many possibilities as to where you can place a slide. It’s a fun activity that children can enjoy indoor or outdoor, all year long. No matter where or when, if you’re child sees a slide they’ll definitely have an urge to go down it; even if it’s just a picture in a catalog.

The next time you want to surprise your children with a special gift, think about purchasing a children’s slide. It’s an activity that everyone can enjoy. Children’s slides will encourage your children to become more physically active while at the same time, providing them with hours of fun and safe adventures.

The great thing about cedar swing sets is that they’re made from high quality wood that’s long lasting and very durable, and they’re safer for children as well.

Unlike plastics and metals, swing sets made from cedar wood don’t get dangerously hot during sunny days. Because the wood doesn’t absorb the heat, it’s safe to the touch and children can play on it without burning themselves.

Below are some examples of attractive and awesome cedar swing sets.

There’s nothing like having your very own swing set in the backyard. It’s a great place to spend the afternoon playing, pretending and exploring the vast possibilities of your imagination.

It also helps to encourage exercise and physical activity, something that many of today’s kids lack in their daily routines.

It’s good to get out and get some fresh air from time to time, especially when you get to do so while playing on a metal swing set for kids like the ones below.

Ladders and platforms are available in kits (some assembly required). We found the most common children's slides platforms and ladders are put together at home with lumber from the local building supply store. Make sure you buy wood with 'safe treated' (non-toxic for children).
