Little Tikes: Swing Along Castle Vs Junior Activity Gym

CSO

When your child starts climbing, you'll want to invest in some toys to keep them from dangerous activities. An indoor play set is also great for the cold winter months or for summer months too hot for outdoor play. When deciding what toys are best for you, there are several factors to consider. The Little Tikes Swing Along Castle and Junior Activity Gym are both great toys for toddlers. How do you chose between them?

The Little Tikes Swing Along Castle sells for $98.97 at Wal-mart. I purchased mine off of Craigslist still in the box for only $75. As for the Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym, it sells for about $50 new, but you may have trouble finding it new unless you are in the UK. I got my son's off of Craigslist for $25. I sold it for the same price to a friend a few months later.

The Little Tikes Swing Along Castle and the Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym are two of the most popular play sets for toddlers. Both are equally entertaining and will last about the same amount of time. They are made of hard plastic. Each one has its own unique design, and both are very colorful and attractive. My son was excited about both of them when we first got them and enjoyed them both equally. Each is quite affordable.

My son began climbing when he was about 14 months old, so I had to invest in some climbing toys to keep him from swinging from the chandelier. We don't have a yard so I needed toys that would fit in my home. Both of these toys are wonderful for indoor use, though the Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym is more suitable than the Swing Along Castle for an indoor environment. They can each be used outdoors as well, of course.

The Little Tikes Junior Activity Gym is a smaller version of another toy for older children. It is essentially just a play cube with a slide. There are no steps, but the platform is very low. It has several holes to crawl through. There's also an area under the platform into which a child could crawl and then hide. Each side of the play cube is a different color, very bright. It comes in many different designs, from green and red to pink to rainbow-colored.
