***SUMMER SAFETY CHECKLIST*** FOR YOUR BACKYARD

Summertime brings lazy days and fun in the sun, but before you buy any backyard play equipment, make sure you’re getting the absolute safest products for your children!

Swing set
• Is the set designed for your child’s age level and interests?
• Is it constructed of only premium grade wood and held together with bolts, not nails?
• Is there a warranty against termites and decay in the wood?
• Can the fort, swings and slide hold parents as well as kids?
• Can you customize the set to fit your child’s interests, the size of your backyard and your budget?
• Are you able to upgrade the set to keep up with your kids growing abilities?
• Is the set professionally installed by someone who is a parent themselves?

With PlayNation playground products, we can whole-heartedly answer YES to each of the above questions. With PlayNation, your child’s safety always comes first because we have kids too!

Trampoline
• Do you have a safety cage around the trampoline?
• Does the opening overlap to avoid accidental falls?
• Is the cage made of flimsy fishnet or a finely woven material that won’t catch your child’s hands or feet when they’re playing?
• Is the cage sewn into the trampoline mat?
• Are the springs, V-rings and frame made from rust-free materials that will stand up to years of heavy bouncing?
• Are the legs sturdily integrated onto the frame or are they attached by weak clamps?

PlayNation of Greater Orlando carries only Magic Circle brand trampolines, the safest on the market with the integrated cage and mat system, superior framing and materials. We also offer replacement parts for any other brands, so upgrade today!

Pool & Boat Toys
• Do you have safety vests that fit your children correctly?
• Are the toys you have for the pool and boat rated for your child’s weight?
• Are the towable rings and banana boats made of superior nylon with triple sewn seams?
• Is the pool enclosure still secure and always used?
