Flexible Flyer Swing N Glide III Swing Sets Review

The Flexible Flyer Swing N Glide III Swing Set is a swing, glide and slide play set from Flexible Flyer that claims to offer a sturdy, reliable and well-built swing set for children aged 2 to 10 years of age for an extremely reasonable price. There are plenty of swing sets out there to choose from, but by adding a glide swing and a slide in addition to the two traditional swings Flexible Flyer has attempted to distinguish itself from its rivals. Children of all ages love swing sets, and as such they need to be durable and reliable to last the inevitable punishment they will receive. The question is, can the Swing N Glide III Swing Set really provide the quality you need at the price you want?

Features Of The Flexible Flyer Swing N Glide III Swing Set

* Four-legged steel frame * Two swings * Air glider swing * 6 foot slide * 180 day limited warranty * Suitable for ages 2 – 10 years old.

Is The Flexible Flyer Swing N Glide III Swing Set Worth Buying?

First and foremost, parents will need to be prepared for the task of assembling the Swing N Glide III Swing Set. Assembly time varies depending on your experience in assembling toys, but it is recommended that two people complete the assembly together, and should take no longer than two hours.

The Swing N Glide III set does not come with any anchoring method, and this is the first major drawback. Anchoring a swing set means fixing it to the ground to provide the kind of balance and security you would want when children are using it. Flexible Flyer do sell anchoring products, but it is a shame that they do not include it with the set.

The swing set itself is of decent quality, but is definitely more suited to younger children. Although it is advertised as suitable for children up to ten years of age, this is probably a little too old. An upper age limit of 7 years would be much more appropriate. The 6 foot slide is also more suited to younger children, simply because of the gentle angle of descent.

Some parents expressed concern about the quality of the swing set ourselves, but once you anchor it securely and assemble correctly, the Flexible Flyer Swing N Glide III Swing Set should prove to be a reliable and secure swing set. The younger the child, the more likely they are to enjoy it. Parents would be well advised to encourage older children of 8+ years to stay off the swings, as this is more likely to result in the set being damaged. Look after the Swing N Glide III Swing Set, and your children will enjoy it for years to come.
