Looking for climbing/slide frame for the garden.
Like the look of the TP Explorer but also saw a TP Navigator on one site where you can attach a swing arm.Was planning to buy a swing also so this seems a good idea.
Does anyone know if the Navigator is the old range as it isn't featured everywhere.
Also would you recommend the TP range or another?
Also... can you swap a normal swing with a baby one easily or will I need a double swing?Don't really want my whole garden taken up with play stuff

GO and look at these climbing frames before you buy. Recently went to Wicken TOys near Milton Keynes, they have an excellent display, but as a result felt that the navigator wasn't right for DD who is 3.2. Ended up buying a large swing frame with 2 swings and swingboat on it so that DS 0.8 could also play. We wanted an explorer but DD is inbetween toddler satge and child. The make we bought was TP and it is fantastic. As were Wicken as one piece was faulty and they sent a replacement the next day.

all the TP stuff is \link{http://www.tptoys.com/here} on their website. The swings are interchangeable (look under swing accessories).
The only downside i can think of for having the climbing frame & swing in one is that the Dchildren are more likely to run in fornt of the swing in the course of playing around the equipment. Having said that we have a wooden sherwood tower with two swings and no accidents yet, touch wood.

TP is very long lasting.

dd has had a tp explorer in the garden since she was 18 months. Start with lower hight and when she was about three I put it to full height. I start with the basic frame and have added a little more each summer. dd is now 6 and still loves it as much as she did when she was younger. Masses of life still in it.
Their a good range but as highonlife said try and see if there is a tp activty centre near you ,as they display the climbing frame for you to see and use.
