This time of year, it doesn't take much to entice the kids to go out and play, especially when the yard is full of Little Tikes swings and things. Backyard play gyms hold universal appeal and it never ceases to amaze us how our young ones never get tired of swinging before we get tired of pushing them.

In the High Back Toddler Swing ($16.99), riders are well-supported and held secure with an adjustable seat belt. Wide seat and leg openings make it easy to get them in and out of the swing, and the center support prevents the child from slipping down. Designed for children nine to 36 months, the swing has heavy-duty hardware and weather-resistant rope and adapts to any playset.
