Boasting great user capacity, architectural curved lines and user-friendly design, the Spinmee roundabout has been designed and developed in consultation with experts in inclusive play for disabled children. It offers easy access for wheelchair users and aims to provide children of all abilities with stimulating play opportunities.
The Spinmee inclusive roundabout provides easy access for children of differing abilities
Suitable for different age groups, the Spinmee is an inviting meeting point which offers age-appropriate challenges for toddlers and older children alike. Whilst younger children can sit and enjoy the ride accompanied by their carer or parents, older or more confident children will stand on the platform and test their balance when the unit is at full speed. The handrail slopes from a high to low position to allow people of different heights to easily and comfortably grab a hold from inside or outside the rotating platform.
The Spinmee can also accommodate up to two wheelchairs and has built-in seating for people with physical impairments. As it doesn’t look like specialised equipment, this roundabout won’t segregate children with disabilities.
Encourages social interaction and helps young children develop communication skills

Delivers an exciting and safe play experience

Its seamless base and slip resistant platform allow an easy transition for wheelchair and reduced mobility users and the visibility yellow edge highlights the rotating section – perfect for users with visual impairment.
