Top outdoor climbing frames for 2 year olds
2 year olds love climbing and enjoying their new found mobility. Although they’re not yet ready for full size climbing frames, they are some great mini climbing frames for 2 year olds.
Depending on your budget, some outdoor climbing frames for 2 year olds have built in extras which add to the fun, such as slides and tunnels.
Top of the range climbing frame – Simba Smoby Adventure Tower
If you’re willing to splash out and invest in something that will last several years, the Simba Smoby Adventure Tower is a great choice.
Aimed at children over 18 months, this climbing frame is an ideal outdoor play toy for 2 year old boys and girls. Much more than a traditional climbing frame, it’s brightly coloured with a hiding place and tunnel underneath, platform, ladder, climbing wall and slide. There are even windows with shutters, making it great for pretend play too.
It’s well made, durable and easy to assemble. It even has an anti-UV finish to prevent the bright colours from fading in the sunlight for 0ver 10 years.
This climbing frame will keep your child entertained until around age 6, so it’s excellent value for money.

Great list, the Little Tikes Sunshine Junior Activity Gym is so popular, all my friends with kids seem to have one (probably because it is one of the cheapest you can get).
Have you heard of a frame called Little Tikes 8 in 1 Playground? A good friend had this one and it really amazed me how cool it was. Basically you can shift bits around and connect things differently and create 8 (slightly) different frames. It is more expensive than the top climbing frame on here.
p.s. none of the links through to the frames work at the moment, you may want to look at this.
Hi Neil, no I hadn’t heard of the Little Tikes 8 in 1 Playground – but it looks fantastic and I have added it to this article! Thanks for letting me know about it! Thanks also for letting me know about the links, these are fixed now.
