                                  Before you buy
                                  Outdoor toys need the space to use them: check the size against your garden, and whether it can stay out in the rain.
                                  How we choose

                                  We unbox and build what we can at home, hand it to someone the age it's sold for, and check prices and stock at UK shops through the day. Every pick is labelled: Tested at home when we've had it in our hands (bought, or sent free by the brand, and the review says which), Researched when we haven't. Commissions never change a pick or its place on the list. Read our full methodology →
