My daughter's first swing set was the Little Tikes Clubhouse Swing Set. Known primarily for their toys for toddlers and younger children, Little Tikes makes plastic and wooden swing sets for kids ages 2 to 10. Little Tikes is another budget-friendly brand that sells both plastic and wooden swing sets for kids of all ages. Unfortunately, Kidkraft does not offer installation, but they do provide a 10-year warranty.

Note that some sets are exclusive to specific stores. Sets are available at Kidkraft's website as well as Walmart, Target, Wayfair, Costco, BJ's, and Sam's Club.

Most sets are approved for ages 3 to 10, and they can hold anywhere from 3 to 12 kids at a time.īuying from Kidkraft is easy no matter what retailer you consider. Some of the features of Kidkraft's sets include sandboxes, picnic tables, ladders, rock walls, playhouses, chalk walls, and monkey bars. Kids get vestibular input from swings and slides, while proprioceptive input comes from climbing or using monkey bars, according to Amber Lee, an occupational therapist at Sensory Zone Gym for Children in Newtown, Pennsylvania. I have personally tested countless toys and pieces of furniture from Kidkraft and have found it's one of the most reliable, high-quality, and affordable children's brands.Įven Kidkraft's most basic sets offer play areas that provide both vestibular (movement sense) and proprioceptive (pressure sense) input. Kidkraft's swing set selection currently starts at $399, making it one of the more affordable brands. Kidkraft is known for its high-quality wooden toys and children's furniture, and its most affordable wooden swing set is a true bargain.
