Merry-Go-Cycle
Designed for kids ages 2 to 5 years, the Merry-Go-Cycle brings a playful new approach to traditional spinning playground equipment by combining physical activity with cooperative movement. It is an exciting addition to playgrounds, childcare centers, and early learning environments that value movement, collaboration, and hands-on exploration.
Encourage Cooperative Outdoor Play
Unlike a traditional merry-go-round, the Merry-Go-Cycle gives every rider a role as they work together to move the platform, then keep it moving. Each child pedals from their own seat, creating a shared experience that requires communication, cooperation, and group participation. This interactive design helps children discover how working together creates movement and more engaging outdoor play.
Support Gross-Motor Development
Pedaling, steering their bodies, and maintaining balance while pedaling in a circular motion naturally encourage active movement and promote gross-motor development. Children will strengthen their coordination, balance, and lower-body movement while having fun and getting their excess energy out!
A Fun Addition to Early Learning Playgrounds
Whether used during structured activity time or free play, this cycle encourages children to stay active while sharing a memorable group play experience. Built to inspire curiosity and encourage open-ended play, it offers a fresh way to bring movement and social interaction to any early childhood playground.
Designed with Safety in Mind
The Merry-Go-Cycle features a low 17" seat height that allows riders to get on and off with confidence and independently. It also minimizes fall height during use, reducing the risk of injury.
Rolled steel edges eliminate sharp corners for added peace of mind, and the recommended 18' dia safety zone provides ample space for children to pedal, spin, and play safely.
Hassle-Free, No-Install Design
The Merry-Go-Cycle is ready for outdoor play quickly! An extra-heavy base helps keep the unit stable during use, eliminating the need for permanent installation. The included ground stakes provide added security on a variety of outdoor surfaces. This freestanding design also makes it easy to move it as needed, giving schools and childcare centers greater flexibility with their outdoor spaces.
Long-Lasting, Low-Maintenance Fun
Proudly made in the USA and built to withstand years of daily play, the Merry-Go-Cycle is a smart investment for childcare centers, schools, community parks, and other environments filled with children. Commercial-grade construction features heavy-duty powder-coated and galvanized steel that supports up to 300 lb. It also resists corrosion, chipping, and fading for long-lasting performance and a sleek look in outdoor settings.
Every detail is engineered for reliable, low-maintenance operation. High-quality industrial ball bearings provide smooth, quiet rotation, while grease fittings make routine maintenance simple to help keep the ride performing its best. Rolled steel deck edges help reduce the risk of contact with sharp corners, and galvanized and stainless steel hardware adds lasting strength. Weather-resistant construction easily wipes clean, minimizing upkeep and maximizing learning and playing.
