Metal Framed Teeter Totter
This metal-framed teeter totter has a powder-coated frame in a traditional seesaw frame with a full 360-degree swivel. Easy grip handles and comfy seats accommodate children 3-10 years old. A stopper pole absorbs shocks for a softer landing.
Designer Advice:
Although teeter-totters are relatively safe for children, safety features like stopper poles and overlarge handles increase comfort and function. Stopper poles are small attachments under the seat that hit the ground first to soften the vibrations when the seat goes down. In addition, a tripod base provides extra stability and allows for 360-degree spinning.
Colorful Four Person Metal Teeter Totter
This 19” tall by 71.75” deep by wide powder-coated teeter totter holds four children aged 3 to 8 with large stoppers under each seat. The red four-legged base provides stability for the long blue poles and the yellow plastic chairs.
Designer Advice:
Traditional teeter totters hold two children, but some models can seat four or more in slim plastic seats. These designs will take up more space than smaller two-person teeter totters due to the long poles that attach to the seats with shock stoppers underneath. When picking a larger size, pay attention to the base design to get a sturdy model.
Modern Spiro Two Person Seesaw
This unique teeter totter has the traditional up and down motion with a counterbalance that allows for kids of different weights. You can also adjust the height for children aged 3 to 8. Inflatable ball seats provide better bounce and comfort.
Designer Advice:
While most teeter-totters are for outdoor use, some models have padded feet that allow for safe indoor use. And the ability to adjust in height and have equal weight distribution is the best choice when you have children of different ages. Of course, depending on the weight capacity, you can use your teeter totter for adults too.
