Q: Swing Sets

Anyone recommend a good swing set? We're looking online and I'm getting frustrated. The one we want really bad has some bad reviews saying that it's hard to assemble and flimsy. It's from toysrus.

post a link. i wouldnt get one of those that are like $100 and metal with the slide on the end. my neighbors had one and macy was going down the slide and her arm got caught between the pole and the slide and it always looked like it was about to fall down. i would personally get a plastic one from little tikes or step two and if i had the money id get one of the big wooden ones.

the one from toysrus is $215 shipping. It's almost as much as the swing set. I found one at walmart.com for $700, but it's wooden and would last longer.

Walmart one:

The one from Sam's won't come up, but I didn't see any in our price range. $700 is really pushing it with the one from walmart. I think we'll go with that one. It just looks like a really good buy. It has good reviews and the wood has me sold.

why do you have to have it shipped?? the ones at Toys R Us you can buy in the store and not pay for shipping.

Both toysrus around here are out and not getting anymore.
The one from Walmart is $198 shipping. Oh well, if we want it, we need to get it no matter what the shipping. I wish there was something a little cheaper though.

Anyone has an inflatable ball pit or jumper? Jesse wants to get her that too. We have a big backyard and she never gets to go out there. There's nothing to do. We want to be able to to sit out there and let her play.

Toys R Us said that they're not getting that product ever again. It's discontinued in the store. I can only get in online. Target has sh tty ones.
I'm torn between really wanting it for her and really not knowing if we should spend that kind of money. I hate getting in more debt that we're trying to get out of.

There is always next year, because she is only 1. She'd probably be happy with one of those smaller plastic ones for a few years until she's old enough to really play on a big swing set like the ones you're looking at.
