Love Vintage Climbing Frames, Swings & Slides?

With many employees at Climbing Frames UK having children ourselves, we’re often reminiscent of the toys and playgrounds we had as kids, and thought we’d take a look at some of our favourite classic toys and how health and safety has played it’s part in forming today’s play equipment designs.

This was prompted by our recent facebook post showing one of our favourite vintage playground toys, the rocking horse seesaw, and the HUGE number of likes, shares and comments prompted us to do some more images, and show how these have evolved into what you see today on the climbing frames we supply.
