Grow'n Up Heracles Seesaw - Original design, Age 3+

Easy to assemble and the kids love it. Time will tell if it stands up to the weather, but initial impression is good. Hardware quality is average for outdoor play things. If you follow the directions exactly there is really no place you can install the Seesaw. The list of "don'ts" and "before play checks" is so long that your kids would never be able to play with it. I'm sure the corporate lawyers had a big part in that. Once we found a "safe place" to locate it and reviewed the required "pre-flight" checklist it was too dark for the kids to use it. So, we put it off until the next day when we could go through the checklist at sunrise. Next morning we got our flashlights and started...... All the nuts and bolts checked out, paint was not chipped, seats were solidly in place, the surrounding area was clear of all stones, acorns and loose grass (we did have to chase a bee), etc, etc..... We were ready for step 2. We reviewed the safety instructions with all adults and children and broke for lunch. During lunch we reviewed the proper procedures with the children. The 4 year old understood a large percentage of the restrictions and was almost ready by the end of the day. Her 2 year old brother proved to be the problem, and without him there was no Seesaw, only a See, which means sitting on the ground. On day 3 we set out to get the safety instructions clearly understood by the 2 year old. We made a small seesaw on the breakfast table and with the help of his 4 year old sister, who interpreted our instructions, we finally got through the preliminaries. TIME TO RIDE...... with two adults on each end we carefully loaded the children on the seats. All went well for about 2 minutes. (Side Note: this thing not only Seesaws, it also rotates around the center, like a "merry go round"). Apparently the little one didn't understand that at the breakfast review! He decided to spin and lost his shoe!! This is one point that the safety instructions missed. He climbed off the device and stepped into a mud puddle getting his sock and pants wet and muddy. He laughed and dismounted. As he dismounted he also forgot the instruction about not jumping off when the other person is up in the air. No need to describe what happened next, I guess. On day 4 we set out in a completely new direction. We let the kids play on it and they had fun. Yea, he lost his shoe again and they got really dirty... but that's kids. The Seesaw is great!

I have had this see-saw for about a week and my 8 and 6-year-olds love it. They each weight about 60 lbs. and have no problem on it (it supports up to 99 lbs. on each side). They like how it goes up and down and spins around. I am a fairly-handy mom and put the see-saw together myself in an afternoon. I made the mistake of attaching the legs in the wrong places and had to remove and re-attach them, so that took some time (they all look the same, but they are not. And they're not clearly labeled as different. You kind of have to look at the instructions and pay close attention.). The screws and flower bolts are kind of a pain to tighten, but I managed. It's kind of a tedious assembly, but it's doable. It was worth it to see the smiles on my kids' faces when they got home from school!

This seesaw is made to last for years the fun bright colors makes it a fun outside toy to play on this seesaw will grow with your child for many years you don't have to buy a new one after a year or to because they are to big for it. This one has really good seats for the children to sit on and not fall off of also the handles are built so they don't come off and they have grips on them so children's hands don't slip off also the base of this seesaw is made just right so it can't tip over well you child and his or her friends are playing on this seesaw. Also you don't just need to leave it outside if you need something for your children do play on in the winter in the house bring this seesaw in. It doesn't take up much room at all it will keep your children busy on those cold winter days. When they can't go outside.Quite possibly the best thing I've bought on Amazon. the kids have been wear themselves out! Made getting them down for bed much easier. It doesn't go up but maybe 3 feet (which I like) but it also spins & they enjoyed that just as well.

This was fairly easy to assemble. I did it with the assistance of 2 toddlers. It seems made of sturdy metal. So far it has held up well to the weather. I have only had it a few months. For the price, I probably couldn't ask for more. There are no springs to assist little legs to get back in the air. My 1 year old and 3 year old need lots of supervision and assistance to have a nice time on this. My nine year old loves the idea of it, and certainly enjoys the spinning feature of it, but it sits to close to the ground to be comfortable to her. The colors are rich, and it does not stand out in a negative manner. For adults who don't mind constant supervision and assistance, this is a sturdy toy that looks to last years. My hope would be that when my toddlers are a bit older, they can achieve play with a lot less assistance.

This is a wonderful product. It was fairly easy to assemble, took me about 30 minutes, because I had put a the handles on upside down, but probably would have taken 25 minutes. Very sturdy, but still light enough for me to move from living room to backyard by myself. I have twin 6 year old girls who had been using a step 2 teeter totter which they loved, but outgrew. I decided they needed a big kid one, and they are thrilled to have a teeter totter that actually lifts them high enough so their legs don't touch the ground, and not to mention spins. They had so much fun on it. I would definitely recommend this product as it can be used indoor or out, provides an energy outlet, and lots of giggles.

Update: 2 years later and a LOT of use it’s still good as new. Highly recommend, updated to 5 stars Pretty sturdy, my kids love it. Especially the 360 spin. Only negative is my daughter can easily take the seesaw off from the stand as it just slides into it. Nothing is keeping it in place other than the weight of the kids. It won’t come off while they are playing or anything, but it doesn’t take much to remove it. Overall for the price you can’t beat it!

Got it on time (August 19th). Assembled by myself with the tools provided so it took me about 30 minutes instead of 15. The kids love it and use it everyday! They are 5 and 6 and move it around themselves. Double-check the screws once in a while and make sure plastic center insert is pushed in because it tends to slowly slide up after being used for a while. You just push it down by hand, even the kids can do it. We keep it outside none stop and have no problem with the rust yet. So far so good. Wish I found something like this before.

It not only see-saws up and down, but spins around. My grandkids aged 5 and 3 absolutely love it. A great addition to their swing set and other toys in their backyard-Plus it is vey sturdy and ell made. Took about an hour to unpack and assemble, but comes apart in 2 pieces for easy transport. Well worth the price-highly recommend.

Legs were not in proper alignment and hence very shaky. Had to take to a nearby shop to set that right with additional fittings.
