Car

501-CAR

The Car is a playground car built from a repurposed classic vehicle body, often a VW Beetle. A West Australian Jarrah interior fits it out. It suits early learning centres, schools or public spaces. Children climb aboard via the timber bench seat and take the wheel at the custom Jarrah dashboard.

Driving play at the dash carries the storytelling. The exterior gives children something to clamber over, building gross motor skills and coordination. As a classic car play feature it sits alongside the Ute and the School Bus, so a centre builds a themed precinct over time. Specifiers sourcing childcare playground equipment get a playground car in a form children already know how to play with.

We craft the Car in our O’Connor WA workshop, pairing a modified salvaged vehicle body with a Jarrah interior fit-out. The structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.

Installation available across Perth and WA, or supply-only Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. The concept can be adapted to suit your project. Talk to us about the Car for your next playground project.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Car need softfall surfacing?

Yes. The Car has a free height of fall of 1500mm, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.

What age group is the Car for?

The Car suits children aged 3 years and over. A Jarrah interior fitout with a custom dashboard and a durable timber bench seat gives children somewhere to sit and drive, while the climbable exterior turns the same piece into a clambering challenge.

What vehicle is used for the Car?

A repurposed classic vehicle body, fitted out in Jarrah for play. Sharp edges, glass and mechanical parts are dealt with during the modification, before the Car reaches a playground.
