We just bought a house and will be moving in July. We're trying to do the research now and plan our purchases, but I'm so conflicted over which swing set to buy once we move in. My little guys are still pretty young, almost 5 years old and 16 months old, so we don't know if we should get a smaller swing set and upgrade later or just get a full size swing set and allow the kids to grow into it.
I'm torn between these two sets:
http://www.step2.com/product.cfm?product_id=1410 (small set that we'd have to upgrade later)
http://www.lifetime.com/playground/playsets-and-swing-sets/a-frame-playset/90042?view=img (double the price, but full size that would last forever)
I've looked at a few wooden sets, but there seems to be some upkeep involved and we're also in the northeast and have lots of snow and rain, and the metal seems like it will hold up for as long as our kids will be using the swing sets.
Does anyone have any advice about what swing sets worked well for their kids at that age? I showed my older son the Step2 set and he thinks that set is for little kids.
Thanks in advance for advice and or more suggestions!
