Playground Seesaws and Teeter-Totters

Don’t forget the playground seesaw when you’re planning your purchase of new structures for a playground! The seesaw has been one of the more popular pieces of equipment on the playground for generations. The popular and versatile kids’ seesaw playground equipment is a staple of any play space, and there’s little doubt that the playground teeter totter will remain popular well into the future. In fact, if you glance at just about any playground during recess time, you’ll find kids moving up and down on seesaws of various kinds; such is the nature of seesaw physics and the fun of such playground teeter totters. All this fun also promotes collaboration and teamwork among children, since they need to cooperate to make the seesaw move up and down.

Seesaws for commercial playgrounds come in many styles, not just the classic two-seat model that has been enjoyed for generations. Little ones can enjoy the gentle Four-Seat Teeter, while older kids can play together on a multi-seat Animal Spring-a-Bout or a Quadruple Teeter. If you're seeking something more innovative, check out the Rock N Cross, which combines a seesaw with a climber. Or just choose a traditional seesaw setup that has six, eight, or 12 seats so everyone can join in the fun.

At AAA State of Play, you can get seesaw playground equipment to suit any space or budget, whether you need one kids’ playground seesaw that seats two children or many playground teeter-totters that can accommodate more than two kids at a time. You’re sure to find the right seesaw or commercial teeter-totter for sale at an affordable price.

Frequently Asked Questions

What clearance space is required around a seesaw playground for safety compliance?
You need 6 feet of clearance on all sides of any seesaw playground equipment per ASTM F1487 standards. This clearance zone prevents injuries from children falling or jumping off during play. Factor this into your site layout early — a standard two-seat seesaw typically needs a 20 by 12-foot total footprint including required clearances.
Are spring-based seesaws better than traditional fulcrum models for commercial playgrounds?
Spring-based seesaws reduce maintenance costs and safety risks compared to traditional fulcrum models. The spring mechanism absorbs hard impacts when one child jumps off unexpectedly, preventing the jarring crash that can injure the other rider. Spring models also have fewer mechanical parts that can wear out or require lubrication over time.
What age range should I specify when buying seesaw playground equipment?
Most commercial seesaws are designed for ages 5-12, but you can find models for 2-5 year olds and 5-12 year olds separately. Four-seat teeters work well for younger children ages 2-5 because they provide more stability and gentler motion. Traditional two-seat seesaws handle the 5-12 age group where kids have the coordination for reciprocal play.
