Carousel

Few things are as irresistible as sitting on this Gonge carousel and spinning faster and faster while the giggles take over.

And the best part? All that spinning fun is brilliant for your child’s motor skills and senses too. While your child is busy laughing and twirling around, they’re also strengthening their vestibular sense, balance, and core and arm muscles as they work to stay upright.

The slightly slanted seat has raised edges, giving children something secure to hold onto while spinning and helping them maintain their balance as they move. It doesn’t take much effort to get the carousel going, and children can easily control the speed themselves.

The carousel consists of:
a durable plastic seat mounted on a swivelling base
a sturdy steel frame with non-slip rubber grips underneath

Please note: the carousel seat used to be red, but is now only available in orange.

Suitable from age 3.
Maximum load: 50 kg.

This activity develops essential skills which are great for your child's well-being and ability to learn:

• Invites your child to express themselves and improve their body awareness.
• Benefits your child's vestibular sense, which improves learning ability, balance, and concentration.

Suitable for children aged 3 yrs. to 10 yrs.

At Toy Academy, we've always worked to help children use both their body and their brain as much as possible. Allowing your child to roll, jump, rock, tumble, and crawl on the furniture gives them access to lots of extra physical activity in their daily life. And that’s never a bad thing, because your child's proprioception can’t be overstimulated.

Motor skills furniture bought at Toy Academy is robust and will withstand years of fun, active play.
