DS and DCB, both 2.5, love to climb! I have a great climber with two slides but it's looking pretty small now that they're getting bigger. They still love it but get bored more and more quickly. I've been looking on CL and can't find anything interesting - all the climbers are just different versions of what we've got. Do any of you have dome shaped monkey bars? I'm not sure if that would be too much for 2.5 year olds. Also, do any of you have something homemade? Like a tire pile? At my elementary school a LONG time ago we had tractor tires stacked up and on end and they were so fun! I'm wondering if I could make my own with car tires (securely anchored of course). Do you think something like that would pass inspection? Any other ideas?

Dome shaped monkey bars would not be too much for a 2.5-year-old to handle. I have several children that are 2.5-years-old who do well with it.

I'm looking for a new climber too. But want something low to the ground so that I don't need to put anything under it for padding. Interested in others ideas. I too was looking into the dome monkey bars.
