I am looking buy a swing set for my 9 month old. I do not have a tree to hang a baby swing and ther are NO baby swing at the parks near me. The closest that I have found is Freindship Park. My daughter LOVES to swing so in order to have a baby swing I have to buy a set. I do not want to waste money and have to upgrade in the future. I would like to get a Little Tikes any input??? I am looking at the...
Endless Adventures™ Variety Climber™ and Swing Set Extension
-or the-
Endless Adventures™ Playcenter Playground
you can view them at www.littletikes.com
I am liking the 2nd one the best but would more input if any one owns either of these. Thank you!!!
I bought the Naturally Playful Timberlast Swing Set from TOys R Us last night and my husband put it up. It is PERFECT, 2 swings, 1 horse swing and a slide with a small platform.
I think you should wait at least next summer. I bought my step 2 swing set when my daughter was 18month old, but we realized that she still too young after putting it up. So, we didn't use it until the following summer.
Hi A.,
my advice is that you wait a year or two. Nine month olds have plenty of fun learning to do without the dangers of a swingset in their own back yard. Everytime she's near it now you will have to hover and the yard won't be relaxing the age on them says 3-6. I'm sure at 2 would be fine, for now just let her learn to walk and get a toddler swing or one of thoose little slides they make.
I'm sure she likes to swing but getting a big set before she is able to play on it is a bad dangerous idea. It's like getting a bike that's too big now so you don't have to get a bigger one later.They have age limits because little kids get hurt.

I would wait to buy a swing set. There is a little swing set made for kids 6-18 months I believe. It has a little slide and a swing. This way she would be able to climb on it without you being worried about her falling and getting hurt. I know it was either Little Tyks, or Fisher Price. I have seen it at Toys R Us. Good Luck
endless adventure - hands down -I have it had it for 2 summers this is our 3rd summer AND it still looks brand new! LOVE IT kids LOVE it (well not the 15 yr old) but the 6 and 4 yr old do
I have an older version of the Endless Adventures Variety Climber with the Swing Set Extension. It's exactly the same as the one you are looking at, but the colors are a little different.
I have a 1-year-old and an almost 3-year-old, and both of them really enjoy it. It's great to have swings in our backyard -- we have the baby swing and a "big kid" swing and they love swinging together. My 2 1/2-year-old doesn't seem to be doing much climbing on the rest of the structure, but my 1-year-old loves the little slide -- it's the perfect size for him.
We bought ours on ebay. It was only a few years old, with just a little bit of fading, but it's in great condition. Plus, we got a really good deal.
Good luck!
Hi A.,
I have a 10 month old and I am also looking at swing sets. I think it is a good idea to get one as long as it’s age appropriate. I have been looking at all the different Little Tikes swing sets and it's a hard decision to make. I don't want to spend that much money on something that falls apart in a year or two.
I think the Playcenter Playground would be better – you can use it longer (up to age 10). Just add a baby swing for now.
Good luck and keep me posted.
