There’s a lot of reasons to love kids climbing structures. Climbing benefits kids’ strength, balance, judgment and decision making, and physical and cognitive development –oh, and it’s fun. If you’re ready to create a climbing adventure in your own backyard, our kids’ climbers buying guide is here help you find the right climber for your budget, yard, and kids!
Best for Little Climbers: A-Frame Hideaway and Climber $99.99
If your little mountaineer isn't’ ready for a full swing set just yet, the A-Frame Hideaway and Climber is the mini-peak for them. At just 3’ high and with six easy-to-grab climbing rocks, this little climber is ideal for toddlers and preschoolers. When they’re ready for a break, they can cozy up in the hideaway tent.
Best for Small Yards: Appleton Swing Set $582.99
If you’ve got 80 sq feet to spare in your yard, you’ve got room for the Appleton Swing Set and its rockwall! Okay… you’ll need slightly more than 80 sq feet to account for all the swinging, jumping, and running that’s sure to happen around it. As a climber, the Appleton is great for preschoolers and toddlers. While older kids will handle the rockwall/ladder with ease, they’ll still love to swing, slide, and play in the playhouse! (Also available in white if that’s your vibe!)
Best for a Challenging Climb: Ainsley Outdoor Playset $679.99
The multi-level Ainsley Climbing Frame Set from KidKraft can do something for smaller back yards that swing sets alone can’t—entertain up to six active kids at once. That’s because Ainsley packs in loads of fun features like a high-rail wave slide, a multi-colored rock wall for climbing and a shaded upper-level clubhouse with chalkboard tarp. Underneath, little diggers can play to their hearts’ content in the spacious sandbox.
