  • 2 Deluxe swing seats and a deluxe Trapeze swinger
  • A 2 kid air glider is provided
  • Includes a solid A Frame to withstand several kids playing and it has a UV protected steel frame and HDPE resin parts
  • A 2 person rocket rider in green is included and is made from high quality materials

  • Maximum weight per child allowed is 81Ibs (total 810Ibs)
  • Includes a 6 foot wave slide
  • Size dimensions are 216"L by 126"W by 72"H
  • Includes an assembly manual and standard tools are needed
  • Warranty duration is 180 days
  • The cost can vary from $220 to $300 depending on local discount activities

Main Pros Outlined:

  • Made in the USA so can support your own community
  • Can be promoted from time to time to be on sale for less than $250
  • The 2 kid rocket rider and 2 kid air glider provide great additions for extra fun and enjoyment
  • Much quicker to assemble than larger wooden swing sets and should only take between 2 to 5 hours
  • Having the chains with the vinyl-covered coating protects your kids finger from finger pinching.
  • The 6 foot wave slide in included in the package and is more suited to younger toddlers
  • Perfect for larger families, local party events and it can occupy a total of 10 children at the same time
  • Separate toddler swings can be added also to replace either of the existing swings
  • The swing heights are adjustable which is ideal for smaller toddlers who need to swing lower
  • It is also ASTM qualified for both safety and quality which is important for your own child’s well being
  • Overall we found it quite sturdy, solid and robust when cemented in and provides great entertainment for the kids outdoors
  • Significantly lower cost and price when we compare it to some of the larger wooden swing sets on sale.
  • Not the best Swing set out there but will do the job if you have less than $250 level to spend

Main Cons Outlined:

  • Price tends to be one of the most expensive under the Flexible Flyer brand
  • Slide could be both higher and longer as it is quite small for older kids - more suited for toddlers only
  • Assembling the air glider takes a lot more time, hard work and planning, tons of pieces to map out
  • Much shorter warranty of 180 days available where wooden sets normally have 5 years on wood and 12 months on all other parts.
  • Surface rust is not covered under the warranty provided so you need to add a rust prevention maintenance programme or rust protection solutions
  • Limited to a max weight allowance per child of 81 Ibs and anchors need to be bought separately
  • There is a risk of heavier kids damaging or breaking the frame which won’t be covered by the warranty
  • Both the see saw and the slide could be a lot more sturdier as we felt they were quite flimsy and cheaply made.
  • Anchors are needed and needs to be cemented in solidly to avoid rocking with high swinging
  • Reports of missing parts which delays assembly - more care and attention should be taken to ensure 100% of the correct parts are always included.
  • Too small for 12 year olds as they would get bored easily – more suited for kids up to 8 or 9 in our opinion

  1. Hi Ryan, nice review completed here  – I enjoyed reading it and the pictures are well laid out. It can provide exercise for the little ones where they can play and exercise their bodies which is so important to avoid them staying on their computer games all day long which gets so annoying. This World of Fun Flexible flyer is a great little buy, small and cheap and so affordable. The review is excellent. You absolutely nailed it. Great Job and great to know all the small features and suitable ages and weights that it can occupy

  2. We have had our Flexible Flyer swing set for approximately 8 years and the kids have really enjoyed it. My problem is that we need new screws to hold the frame together and it is a specialty screw that I can’t seem to find. I also haven’t found out how to connect with the company to order some. The kids really enjoy it and I can’t afford a new one. Anyone know of a number for the company to order parts?

    • Hi there, they most likely won’t have the actual parts you are looking for. I would suggest asking a handyman locally to repair it for you using a drill and a new bolt and screw to repair the frame. Best of luck to you – I hope that works 🙏
