Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set

The Gymnastics Direct Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set is the ultimate all-in-one indoor soft play climbing set for kindy gym programs, daycare centres, preschools, and early learning environments. Designed for infants and young children, this premium complete set delivers everything needed to create a rich, engaging, and developmentally powerful indoor climbing and movement space in one purchase, making it the standout investment piece for any serious early learning or kindy gym program across Australia.

Where individual pieces of soft play equipment each target specific skills and movements, the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set works as a unified system. It combines a climbing trapezoid, bridge, tunnel, and mat into one integrated obstacle course that challenges children across a broad range of gross motor skills simultaneously. Children can climb up and over the trapezoid, crawl through the tunnel, traverse the bridge, and land safely on the mat; each element presenting a distinct physical and cognitive challenge that builds on the last. This progressive, connected movement experience is exactly what early childhood movement educators and occupational therapists recommend for developing well-rounded gross motor skills, balance, coordination, core strength, spatial awareness, body confidence, and perceptual motor skills in the earliest years of life.

The set's modular design is one of its greatest strengths. It can be assembled as a complete integrated climbing structure as shown, or broken down into individual components and used separately. This gives educators maximum flexibility to adapt the equipment to different age groups, ability levels, group sizes, and activity formats throughout the day. This versatility means the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set grows with your program and remains engaging and challenging for children across a wide developmental range, making it an exceptional long-term investment for any daycare centre or kindy gym.

The Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set also pairs naturally with the Gymnastics Direct Early Learning Vault/Trapezoid for centres and programs looking to build out a more extensive gymnastics and movement circuit for older children. View the Early Learning Vault/Trapezoid here.

Constructed from 25kg/m³ PVC sponge foam with a top quality 18oz vinyl cover, the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set is built to the highest standards of safety and durability. The premium vinyl surface is easy to wipe clean, meeting the hygiene requirements of any shared childcare, preschool, or early learning environment. At 1m high, 1m wide, and 2.4m long with a 2.4m x 1.2m footprint, it makes an impressive and visually engaging centrepiece for any indoor soft play or kindy gym space.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age is the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set suitable for?
The Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set is designed for infants and young children in kindy gym programs, daycare centres, and early learning environments. Its varied elements (climbing trapezoid, bridge, tunnel, and mat) provide appropriate challenges for a wide range of developmental stages, from confident crawlers through to active preschool-aged children.

What gross motor skills does the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set help develop?
The Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set supports the development of a broad range of gross motor skills including climbing, crawling, balance, coordination, core strength, upper and lower body strength, spatial awareness, body confidence, and perceptual motor skills. By combining multiple movement challenges in one integrated set, it offers a richer and more comprehensive developmental experience than any individual piece of soft play equipment.

Can the components be used separately?
Yes. While the set is designed to be assembled as one complete integrated climbing structure, all components can be used separately to suit different activities, group sizes, age groups, and ability levels. This modular flexibility makes the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set an exceptionally versatile piece of equipment for any early learning or kindy gym program.

What makes the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set different from individual soft play pieces?
The Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set works as a unified movement system, combining a climbing trapezoid, bridge, tunnel, and safety mat into one integrated obstacle course. This connected, sequential movement experience — where children climb, traverse, crawl, and land in one continuous circuit — provides a significantly richer gross motor and perceptual motor developmental experience than individual soft play pieces used in isolation.

How much space does the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set require?
The set has a footprint of 2.4m x 1.2m, standing 1m high and 1m wide. This makes it suitable for most indoor kindy gym, daycare, and early learning spaces, though we recommend ensuring adequate clearance around the set for safe supervised use.

What is the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set made from?
The set is constructed from 25kg/m³ PVC sponge foam with an 18oz vinyl outer cover — premium materials that are soft and safe for young children while being durable enough for the daily demands of a busy kindy gym, daycare centre, or early learning environment.

How easy is it to clean the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set?
The top quality 18oz vinyl surface is wipe-clean, making it quick and simple to sanitise between uses. 

Is the Climbing Trapezoid Bridge and Mat Set safe for infants and toddlers?
Yes. The soft PVC sponge foam and vinyl construction is gentle on little bodies, and the integrated mat provides a safe landing surface. As with all soft play climbing equipment, adult supervision is recommended during use.
