The Psagot Playgrounds Inclusive Merry-Go-Round is built so children in wheelchairs can roll on independently through a floor-level base with a rubber connector. No escort needed. The surface has a sweat-reducing finish and soft rounded edges for comfort during extended spinning. It develops vestibular skills and social connection between children of all abilities. Holds 4 children ages 5 to 12, with a fall height of 3 feet 2.4 inches.
BEST FOR: If you need a carousel where children in wheelchairs can participate independently — not just be pushed on by an adult — this is the piece to look at. The floor-level entry and rubber connector let kids roll on by themselves. Holds 4 children ages 5 to 12.
The detail that matters most on this carousel is the rubber connector at the floor-level base. A child in a wheelchair can roll on without anyone lifting them or pushing them into place. That independence is the difference between inclusion and accommodation, and Psagot got it right here. Once on, every child shares the same spinning experience.
The sweat-reducing surface finish and rounded edges are the kind of details you notice after the first few uses. Kids stay comfortable during longer play sessions, and there are no sharp corners to worry about. I think every public playground should have at least one piece of spinning equipment that is fully accessible, and this is one of the better options I have seen for that purpose.
CAPACITY: 4 children simultaneously, ages 5-12.
FALL HEIGHT: 3'-2.4" (100 cm). Requires appropriate safety surfacing.
