Is a swing set worth buying if you have a yard?

I would say yes, when we first moved into our house there was nothing in the backyard for the kids to play, then we got a swing set and they are always running around in the back yard. If you have to room for it I would definitely recommend buying a swing set.

I think it really depends on weather your kids are going to use it for a couple years, because really a swing set would be an investment. I think of everything that I buy as an investment, if I'm not going to like something that I am going to buy I don't buy it.

That is true, my kids are still young and are able to use it we bought it about 2 years ago and my boys loved it now we just had another baby which he will enjoy it also. When my kids invite friends over they use it as well so it is worth it and will be used for a while. :) thanks for the reply

I completely agree with you. when my sister and I were children, we had a swing set in our back yard, and it was great fun for the entire neighbourhood. Then we got older, too big for the swing set, and the people across the street put in a POOL. Needless to say, that was even better!!

All kids love swing sets! I think it is a great thing. It will help them want to go outside and be active. Nothing wrong with that. When we get our own place soon, I definitely want to get my children another swing set. They love them! In fact, they never want to come in with one in the yard! LOL. =)
