Frequent Questions About the Climbing Arch

What is a climbing arch?

A climbing arch is a curved wooden climbing frame that can be used in three ways: for climbing, turned upside down as a rocker, and with a blanket as a den.

Like the Pikler triangle, it is part of the Pikler and Montessori pedagogies and helps children move freely and develop their sense of balance independently.

What is a climbing arch used for?

A climbing arch is used for climbing, swinging (as a rocker) and hiding (as a cave), thereby promoting balance, motor skills and imagination. Its various uses keep it interesting through many developmental phases.

The main advantages at a glance:

  • Balance: As a rocker, it specifically trains the sense of balance.
  • Motor skills: Climbing and crawling train gross motor skills.
  • Imagination & Security: With a blanket, it becomes a cave and a retreat.
  • Grows with the child: Can be used alone or combined with a triangle and slide.

From what age is a climbing arch suitable?

A climbing arch is suitable as a rocker from approx. 6 months and for climbing from approx. 10 months – and remains exciting until about 6 years of age.

In the first few months, it is primarily used for gentle rocking under supervision. CE certification applies from 2–3 years, depending on the model; the exact information can be found in the respective product description.

How much weight can a climbing arch hold?

Our climbing arches can hold up to 50 kg, making them suitable for several children at once. We only use high-quality, sturdy wood – for safe use as both a climbing arch and a rocker.

Does a climbing arch fit with the Pikler triangle?

Yes. The climbing arch and Pikler triangle can be ideally combined – together with a slide board, they create a complete movement course.

Many parents start with one part and expand later. In our climbing sets, the components are already coordinated – and cheaper than buying them individually.

Climbing arch or climbing triangle – which is better to start with?

For the first few months, the climbing arch is often better suited because it can be used as a gentle seesaw very early on;

the climbing triangle shows its strengths in active climbing. Both complement each other perfectly – combining both covers everything from rocking to climbing.

Is a climbing arch safe for my child?

Yes. Our climbing arches are exclusively manufactured in the EU, CE certified, and made from sanded, pollutant-free wood. With normal use and appropriate supervision, there are no safety concerns.

Children instinctively climb and rock only as far as they feel safe.
