ToysRUs swing sets

Toys R Us is a brand that’s been around for a long time. For a long time, this brand could be seen on street corners and was an iconic kids brand in Australia. More recently, Toys R Us has transitioned into an online-only model, where they have no physical stores.  

This kids' brand was known for everything from lego blocks and playing cards to bigger outdoor toys such as bikes and playground equipment. Among the many wonderful things Toys R Us sells are the Toys R Us swing sets. The range of swing sets are primarily resold from other brands. The 2 most prominent swing set brands in their catalog are Plum Play and Lifespan Kids. 

The Toys R Us catalog is quite diverse, the range consisting of both toddler swings as well as swing sets designed for older children. The designs consist of both wooden and metal swing sets. Most are quite ordinary, but there are some interesting swings including the nest swing and trapeze swings besides the usual seat swings.  

 

Vuly Swing Sets

Vuly is a company based in Brisbane that designs and sells its own unique swing set products. The Vuly swing sets are more expensive, but are better built and feature a number of one of the kind designs that can’t be found anywhere else.  

All of Vuly’s swing sets are made out of powder coated steel and are stress-tested in a number of environmental conditions for longevity, including by rain and UV light. They are also put through rigorous usage testing that comprises of 500,000 swings - simulating 5 years of play for a 60Kg user. 

The number of accessories that Vuly offers is truly unmatched, and the swing sets are super customisable, creating an endless amount of possibilities to fit any backyard.

Vuly swing sets

Vuly’s swing sets are modularised, which means that you can build a swing set that has the exact features that you want. Vuly’s website provides an online builder that can allow you to customize your set to your liking.

One of Vuly’s biggest selling points is their attention to safety. Everything is tested literally thousands of times and product safety reviews are conducted to make sure everything meets Australian safety standards. On top of this, Vuly goes up and beyond by providing secondary safety features such as shade covers which keep children from getting burnt while having fun. 

Vuly offers medium, large and 360 Pro Max size options. These largely symbolize how big the frame is, and therefore how many accessories it can fit. Medium swing sets can fit 2 swings, large ones can fit 3 and the 360 Max Pro version can fit up to 6 different swings and a cubby house! 

The swing set accessories that Vuly offers are also much more unique than those offered by other brands. This is exemplified by awesome designs like the 360 Pro swing, which features a rotating skate deck simulating a skateboard halfpipe. Another great swing that Vuly offers is the wrecking ball swing - which as the name suggests - features a little wrecking ball that children can swing on. 

Although Vuly’s swing sets are more expensive, they’re good value for money. All purchases come with free shipping and fast delivery Australia-wide. Vuly also offers lengthy warranties, with the option to purchase extended warranties. In addition to this, once the warranty expires, Vuly customers have access to half price parts for life - what a great deal!
