Why You’ll Love Our Tire Swings
Most of us remember swinging in an old tire swing on a lazy summer day when we were a kid. Remember how much fun it was? You could spin round and round until you were dizzy at the end of a long rope tied in the old oak tree, then slowly let the rope unwind and start all over again.
Playkids’ tire swings are a new take on those old-fashioned ones. We admit our new tire swings don’t look quite the same. They are made of a smooth plastic polymer with no rough edges and come in bright colors. They aren’t made out of an old worn out Michelin from your granddad’s car and they aren’t tied by a length of rope in a tree. They are just as much fun without the mess or danger.
A tire swing made specifically for a playground or swing set is designed to be easily installed on a swing set or jungle gym, making it much more versatile than that old tire. The scale is adapted to children so it’s not so bulky to straddle and sit on. Our tire swing is also safer because it is made from molded plastic with molded in eyes and bushings – no danger of a rope slipping loose when you have a sturdy chain holding the swing in place.
Playkids’ tire swings are made to hang with the opening facing the ground so the tire provides plenty of seating. Up to three children can sit together around the edge of the tire comfortably and face each other with their legs hanging through the middle. It’s more fun than one big tire that only holds one person.
Of course, you may be an old-school fan of the more traditional tire swing. We have to admit there are a few things you just can’t do with one of our tire swings that you can only do with a Michelin. If you order one of our tire swings, you can NOT:
- Fix a flat in an emergency. We’re sorry, but our tire swings aren’t road approved and are a non-standard size. Please don’t try to mount them on your vehicle.
- Decorate your shirt with black streaks to look tough. When you were six you probably thought it looked really cool to have those black smudges all over your clothes, but no matter how hard you try, you can’t ruin your play clothes on one of our tire swings.
- Hide anything in the inside of the tire. Sorry, but our tire swings are sealed shut for safety, so no one will be able to hide treasures like a dead frog inside the bottom of the tire. And no rain will collect there to surprise anyone with a cold, wet bottom.
We admit some things have changed with our tire swings, but sometimes change is good, and we kept the most important part – the fun.
