Pre-order. This is a new add-on in its first production run. Order now to reserve yours, and we'll email you a ship date as soon as it's confirmed.

The Brainrich Swing Board Ladder is two rope ladders joined at the bottom by a natural plywood board. Hang one ladder from the front top bar of your gym and one from the back bar, drop the board over the two bottom rungs, and you have a swing, a wobbly bridge, and a double climb in one.

What it builds

• Balance and vestibular input: the board swings and the ladders shift under every step, so kids are constantly correcting their balance.
• Motor planning: climb up one side, cross the board, climb down the other. Kids have to plan each move.
• Grip strength and coordination: hands and feet working together on rope and wooden rungs.

What's in the box

• 2 rope ladders, each with 12 natural wood rungs (1 in diameter, 7 in wide, 5 in apart)
• White braided rope with a 23 in hanging loop at the top of each ladder
• 1 natural plywood board, 22.4 x 7 in, with four notches that hold the ropes

How it goes together

Hang the two ladders 19 in apart. Slide the board down over the bottom rungs so the four ropes sit in its notches. The rungs hold the board up, so there's nothing to screw or bolt.

Good to know

• Fits Brainrich tension-mounted play gyms with front and back top bars.
• Each ladder is about 78 in from the top of the loop to the bottom rung.
• Always use with adult supervision. Add Play Mats underneath.
