Most living rooms have one piece of furniture that a small child has quietly decided is for climbing, whether or not anyone agreed to it. A triangle ladder gives that instinct somewhere proper to go, at a height that suits a child and in a frame made for the job.
This MeowBaby set pairs a solid wood triangle ladder with a single reversible board. One face is a smooth slide and the other carries wooden climbing holds, so the same board attaches to the ladder as a slide one day and a small climbing wall the next. The ladder also stands on its own, and with a blanket draped over the top it doubles as a den.
The triangle is the shape often called a Pikler triangle, after the Hungarian paediatrician Emmi Pikler, and it is a familiar fixture in Montessori-style play spaces: an open frame a child can climb, sit under and balance on at their own pace. MeowBaby recommends it from 3 years, with an adult close by whenever it is in use.
The set measures 70cm high, 80cm wide and 62cm deep, takes a maximum load of 40kg, and comes apart for storage when the floor space is needed back. It can be used indoors or out in the garden, and is best brought inside or stored somewhere dry afterwards.
