QUALITY ASSURANCE

You’ll find design excellence on the inside and outside of our play components.  We start with high-quality materials and transform them into playgrounds that meet or exceed the highest standards.  How do we measure excellence?  One method – listening to and watching kids on our playgrounds – it isn’t scientific, but it plays a big part in figuring out what kids like and how to keep them safe.  We put a lot of time into pushing our innovations further, like our clatter bridge with patented pinch free connections.  Laughs, giggles, and shouts of pure joy make all of the hard work worthwhile.

1. Endless Innovations – Infinity is just one example of how we start with high-quality material and end up with an award winning design.  Like the children who inspire us, we know there’s no limit to innovation when you keep an open mind – and use the best materials.
2. Realistic Theme Play – The realism of our theme play components engages the hearts and minds of children in an instant.  We take the time up front to hand-sculpt the molded-in details that make all the difference.
3. Durable Plastics – To resist fading and to be kind to the touch, our plastic slides, interactive play panels, and roofs are made with ultraviolet (UV) stabilizers and the color is molded in.
4. Engineered Safety – While fun is a factor in our play systems, safety is just as critical, and it’s engineered into every single component.
5. Environmentally Mindful - Protecting and preserving the environment for our children's future is a priority of everyone at Little Tikes Commercial. We are committed to closing the recycling loop by using pre- and post-consumer recycled material wherever possible and by ensuring that nearly everything we make can be recycled back into the environment. From steel and aluminum to rubber and plastic, almost everything we make uses some amount of recycled material. Our KidBuilders, PlayBuilders, and MaxPlay product lines consist of 76.5 to 87 percent post-consumer content.  We also use pre-consumer materials in 4 to 17 percent of these brands.  In all, our play systems’ total recycled material content totals 80.5 to 100 percent*.

* Pre-consumer and post-consumer content use percentage is based on a yearly usage, individual components or models content percentage may vary.
