Jungle gym accessories

With summer’s arrival in slow motion, we wanted to share a few tips on what to look for in jungle gym accessories to ensure that the products you are buying are designed with your child’s well-being in mind. Here’s what we suggest:

UV Protection: Jungle Gym accessories that are equipped with built-in protection against ultraviolet rays won’t heat up as quickly in the summer sun as accessories that lack UV protection. This feature also adds to the life of your play set, as the color of the items won’t fade as quickly.

Ladders with Grab Handles: If you are thinking about building a wooden step ladder or adding one to your backyard playground, be sure to include a set of safety grab handles. These are not as accessories on ladders that have rungs, as the kids can use the rungs to hold onto. But with step ladders, they’re a must. We suggest grab handles that have pebbles or grips to ensure the kids get a secure hold.

Coated Swing Chains: To avoid pinched fingers, your swing chains should be of the straight-coil variety, with a soft coating; covering part of the chain to protect their little hands. A coating will provide a soft surface for them to grip. We recommend the rings on your gym ring trapeze bar combo be coated in a soft plastic, too, for the same reasons.

Inspect Different Jungle Gym Accessories and Swing Sets for Safety:

If you are purchasing jungle gym accessories like a baby swing, make sure it’s a full bucket with a high back, so your little one is properly supported. For the half bucket swings, which many people use for their toddlers, not only should there be a high back, but also a strong chain that secures in front of the child. This chain should always be latched when your youngster is swinging. And with a tire swing, it’s best to use an actual tire rather than a hard, plastic one.

These are some of the things you should pay close attention to while purchasing jungle gym accessories from a reliable source online. Opt for the affordable jungle gym accessories at the Garden Adventure Ltd.
