We don't have one but my oldest LO would go insane if we ever got one! If we are at someones house that has a swings or we go to a park she will play for hours and hours. I really wish they weren't so expensive so we could get our LO's one, I know they would love it. Maybe someday!
Does your LO have a swing set? If so, which one do they have?

@Bao: same here! We might build one some day but probably not this summer.

She doesn't even have a yard. But we do have a playground with swings less than two blocks away!

We're getting one this Spring - can't wait! Probably something like this:

We're getting one in a few weeks. My parents completely refinished my younger siblings' set and got all new hardware and swings for it. It's this one:

Our backyard is too narrow, otherwise we would! Hopefully we'll be able to move soon, I'd love to became to send them outside to play!!

We have a very simple wooden play structure, by Gorilla. We had thought about going the DIY route for it, but we are major procrastinators and I wanted my son to get the most use out of it possible.
My husband and dad installed it in a morning, super easy and my son even plays on it when we have snow on the ground, so I am happy with it.

@chopsuey: where did you get that yellow thing under the slide that kind of props it up??? We have a similar set but the slide is way too steep.

I think we're getting something like this. I really wanted to get her a play house but they're soooooo expensive for the ones we were interested in.

@hilsy85: it's part of the slide. Got it from superior play systems!

No, but a week after we moved into our new house, our sweet neighbors re-hung their baby swing and let us use theirs freely. D loves it. Especially when their 7yo daughter comes out to play with him.

We got a used Rainbow one off craigslist last summer for $200! My dad and DH dismantled it and set it back up in our backyard. C loves it, but she prefers going to the park so she can play with other kids.

@loveisstrange: oh that's a great idea! There's no way we could afford a new set and even materials for dIY would be expensive.

We don't have one. We live in planned community and there's a playground on every block.

@mediagirl: check Costco if you have one near by! We shopped around for a LONG time but Costco had the best price

@HLK208: is that a Costco one that you posted? It's awesome and would fill both needs - play house and play set.

@mediagirl: yep! It was $999, which everywhere we looked, they were between $1200-2200 (we looked at Rainbow and Gorilla mostly) and they didn't offer nearly as much as this one did.

@regberadaisy: Is was a pretty good deal. It came with a bunch of stuff. We had to spend about $100 extra to replace a couple rotted boards, but overall it was worth it. The set is worth MUCH more than $300 (about $4k, from what I was told. My mom is a champion bargain hunter.)

No, but I would looooove one. There isn't a playground nearby at all and H has a blast at the one's we've been to.
