Conclusion: climbing triangle or climbing arch?
I don't think that one is better than the other - everything depends on your child, and you as parents know it best. Ask these questions:
- Is your child a climber?
If so, it will love a Pikler triangle. Wipps / climbing arches, on the other hand, are fantastic for the imagination, as they can be used as a shop, for hiding and so on. - Do you have space for something as big as a seesaw?
The triangles can be folded together if they are not used, but the seesaw cannot be folded up and takes up a considerable part of your living room or children's room. - How old is your child or maybe you have several children?
Many parents claim that the seesaw is better suited for older children and that they can use them longer. I say that depends on your child. My own child didn't care about a seesaw, but his pikler triangle liked and still liked it. So if you have the opportunity to test it with a friend, you should do that.
All in all, there is no general statement whether a climbing triangle is better than a climbing arch . It always depends on the individual case and everyone has to make their own decision here. In principle, triangles and arches can also be combined.
