Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The WICKEY TurboFlyer is a wooden climbing frame with a slide, a swing set, a rope ladder, a climbing wall and a tower, listed at £599.99 with a platform height of 90 cm. It sits at number seven in this guide with 4.1 stars from 252 ratings, and it is one of the cheaper wooden frames on the list — the wooden Wickey and Fatmoose towers here run from £549.99 to £1,009.99.
Two numbers on this page do not sit comfortably with the rest of the same listing. The maximum weight recommendation is 50 kg, which is the identical figure given for all six wooden Wickey and Fatmoose frames in this guide — the £549.99 one and the £1,009.99 one included — while the two metal frames state 250 kg and 363 kg for roughly half the money. Separately, the star breakdown on the page is 9, 5, 9, 19 and 58, which adds up to exactly 100, against a headline figure of 252 ratings. And the recommended age range reads "36 months - 3 years", which is the same point written twice. Everything below comes from the Amazon listing for this frame, not from any test we carried out.
