6 Best Small Indoor Climbing Frames for Toddlers (Review) in 2021

Who doesnt love softplay, ay!? 

Not only does it tire out your little one but it gives you, as parents a much-needed break knowing that if your little one falls then they aren’t going to hurt themselves. 

Well, now you can bring that fun home with you to your front room.

The Costway Toddler Climb and Crawl is the perfect soft playset for your little one, its available in both a primary colour design as well as a pastel colour one too. 

It comes with a set of steps and a triangle-shaped piece that can be used as a slide. 

It’s made from waterproof material so it’s very easy to wipe clean. You can also add it to existing soft playsets to make a larger play zone. 

If you want to keep your little one active but don’t want to turn your living room into a play park, this triangular shaped ladder frame has both the stylish Scandi look of natural wood and the longevity of a solid classic toy that will last.

Strong and durable, built from high quality pine and finished with non-toxic BPA free varnish, this climbing frame won’t take over the room but offers hours of climbing fun and increasing levels of challenge as your child grows with it.

I was a little worried whether it was exciting enough to look at, if it would grab children’s attention like some of the more colourful options.

But children are immediately intrigued and eager to explore this frame, to test their strengths and challenge their skills.

Smaller children can happily explore the lower levels of the frame and as they grow start to explore the more difficult climbing options as they naturally progress.

Compact in size and yet offering plenty of play options, little ones love exploring the different climbing options, looking through peep-holes, sliding down the slide and hiding underneath for a game of hide and seek.

Bright and cheerful colours catch the children’s attention straight away. With little ones who are still finding their feet, you do have to be careful at the top of the slide where the sides are open and make sure they have their balance before sitting or turning around, so supervision is required here, but they learn and adapt to this and acquire new skills along the way.

Assembly is straightforward and no extra tools are required, however, it’s not something you’d want to dismantle regularly but as the frame is fairly light it could be pushed into a corner when not in use.

This is a great indoor climbing frame for babies as it doesn’t come to high off the ground. A larger toddler might find this unit a bit plain and small. 

For larger homes, this dome shaped frame is a challenge for even the most adventurous little monkeys. It offers longevity due to its size and weight limit of 70kgs so parents can invest in this frame knowing it will last.

The dome shape means this frame makes a great den or igloo, kids will find new ways of using it for all kinds of imaginative games. Designed for use either indoors or outdoors, the plastic frame won’t rust if it’s left in the garden which can be a benefit to having a climbing frame in your garden and it is light enough to move around so as not to damage the lawn.

It might be a bit like a game of crystal maze putting it together, but once it’s up it’s staying up because it will be in constant use one way or another. It is worth bearing in mind the footprint of this frame is quite big and you’ll need space around it for easy access.
