Important Factors To Consider While Choosing A Cubby House

Here are some of the things to put forward on your search to the perfect cubby house; 

Safety First

First things first; safety. While you are looking to have some entertainment time with your kids and family, you have to ensure safety first. Open faced cubbies are great options as you can see your child and they can also see you throughout the slide. 

You also want to pay attention to the rest of the features. Details like the stair angles, threads used on the nooks and crannies, handrails, and more. Go for cubbies with different levels to reduce falling points and the risk of your kids getting injured. If you are looking to play with your child, make sure the cubby house has got enough room.

The Functionality Of The Cubby House

All things considered, you want a cubby house that is secure and functions properly. First off, consider the size and determine what size would best suit your and your child’s needs. Check out the room, will adults (you as a parent) comfortably be able to play with the kids? Can it fit all your kids’ friends should they come to play?

Is the room big enough to also fit all your kids’ toys (or at least their favorites)? You don’t have to go for the biggest one. But it is a good thing that you check multiple different size cubby houses with slides to suit your needs. 

Durability

Who doesn’t want their cubby house to last long? Remember your kids are also growing, and you probably have plans to have another kid yet. And, you can never cease to use the cubby, even if all your kids are grown. Having a long lasting, durable, cubby house would be a great investment in the long run. 

You will always find different types of cubby house in the market, or of which comes with different prices. But don’t always jump for the cheaper one. As they say ‘cheap is always expensive’. Considering quality over price would help you get the most durable one.

Again, you don’t need to go for the most expensive one. Just check out the features and what they are made of and for. For example, if you live in Australia, check the materials of the cubby, is it made for Australian weather and climate? 

But always remember, everything else comes after safety. While you want the cubby house to last your toddler throughout their childhood to teenage years, the last thing you want are accidents that would lead to broken limbs, and lifelong injury-marks. 

Aesthetics

Does the look even matter? The answer is yes it does. If you are looking to invest in a long-term cubby house with a slide, that means it will be in your garden or backyard for a long time. It needs to compliment your compound and garden. Besides you also need to make sure your kids like it, because if they don’t, they might end up not using it.

Kids get excited by beautiful, colorful things. Paint kit the colors you and your kids like, and explore different artistic styles. Make sure your kids are always excited just by the thoughts of playing in it. It has to make your kids want to spend more time there.
