With birthdays and Chistmas coming up, I'm looking at outdoor swing and slide sets. The warehouse has this one on sale atm - http://www.thewarehouse.co.nz/red/catalog/toys/outdoor-play/playground-equipment/Swing-%26-Slide-Set?SKU=494283 seems like a good deal - but maybe it is too cheap and nasty? Has anyone bought this? opinions? Any other suggestions? Thanks Deb ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

DJ, I'm not able to help you with this particular outdoor set, but have you seen the ones advertised in the Toyworld pamplet? They have a playworld 3 unit swing set for $200 and later on, you could add a slide etc
This may or may not help you  ------------- A very lucky mummy to two gorgeous boys: RB 3/10/2008 JB 29/12/2009 |

We ended up being given this and its fine. Doesn't have the slide on ours (it was left at an ex-rental which a friend without kids brought). Jake enjoys it. TBH I wouldn't have spent money on something like this. I reckon a fort-type thing with attached swing and slide is alot more versatile. JMO anyway  -------------

Wow thats a great deal. We have the same set in our back yard thats around 15 years old lol. So they seem to stand the test of time. -------------

we have it and bought for $150. it goes around quite cheaply.
the swings are okay, but not so good for the younger child. We had a fisher price one we attached and that was good. now the kids are old enough, having two ius great. slide is okay, but quite rickety. they play on it a lot. |
