Seesaws are a timeless classic of the playground canon. But standing on a seesaw is oh so much more fun than sitting. That’s what the balance seesaw hybrid is built for. These low to the ground, linked plank seesaws can accommodate many children at once. The feature creates an unexpected cause and effect between the child and the seesaw and then with the other children. See it in action on a playground build at a nursery school in Brazil:
There are endless configurations these hybrids can be built in.
