TP Activity Toys?

**Chocolate Lips** · 22-04-2008, 09:27am

I am only just moving into the world of outdoor toys

and I believe that TP is a good make? (someone correct me if I am wrong

).

We have been offered a double frame (not sure if it is metal or wood) with a wraparound swing and a bench seat (not sure what one of these is??).

Anyhow its apparently in excellent condition, not a mark on it, despite the lady's children clambering over it and she said it should last them until about 10/11 years old.

She wants £50 - does that sound like a buy?

It sounds good to me, though I'd want to look at it first.

Well, we're planning to get a double metal frame with a baby seat and a regular seat and it will cost us about £146, so £50 sounds good. I'd want to look at it first though. Oh, and if it's wood you might want to check which type it is as some of their sets are only designed for ages 3-8.

Oh yes, meant to say, we are going around to see it tomorrow night.

That sounds like the bargain of the century to me. We have this one

and it cost us a fair whack. We also have the seperate swing.

My two both play on them and I can't even remember what age restrictions there were. I know it said no under-6s on our trampoline (yeah, like they'll wait till then) but that TP Forest Climber set has been brilliant.

So if I get the frame and obviously the wraparound and bench whatever that is, can I change part of it to say put the baby swing on? Are the bits interchangeable?

I am not too concerned about age restrictions (bad mother) Isabel is a daredevil when it comes to slides, swings etc

and I will always be with her when using it anyhow.

I think a lot of the bits are

Here is the TP website if you want to have a looky http://www.tptoys.com/
Some of them you need a very big garden for (and an equally big wallet

) like the Sherwood. But the swing frames you seem to be able to add a few different swing types to.

Oh and my sister has the steel Challenger climbing frame thingy and every time she visits she always says she wishes she'd spent a bit more and got the wooden one I've got. She says the steel is ever so slippy (even in the dry) and my nephew is forever threatening his dental work on the steps.
