[quote=Anonymous]The main issue for monkey bars longevity is height - once your kid is too tall to have feet off the ground, it's no fun. We looked at Lifetime (which also seems good) but ended up getting a set from ActivPlay, previously Skywalker Trampolines, because it had the highest money bars and ninja line. Our specific set isn't sold anymore but it's basically a central grid they can climb in, with a "jungle line" off to one side and a hanging bridge on the other. Still gets used at age 11.

I don't like anything with a roof because it's just a place for spiderwebs and wasp nests to develop. Ditto for any kind of tunnel.

We have a separate swing set. Although it's well made (Equinox brand coated wood) we could never get the ground anchors in, and now it tips when big kids swing hard. We need to either remove it or figure out different anchors.

I have seen so many trampoline injuries among my friends' kids, including a recent one that required surgery. I would not do it, but if you must have one, get a net.[/quote]
