J.S.
I don’t know which option would be the best for you but I wanted to let you know our experience. We live in a neighborhood with tons of kids ranging from 2 years to 10 years old, boys and girls. While not all the time, the older ones love to play on the swing sets, especially with the younger ones. As a matter of fact we have both a wooden and a plastic (Step 2 type) and I think the plastic one gets more use (but does not have a swing). Good luck!
