Handhold
Physical
opens more hold positions and ensures good grip, necessary for rocking intensely which trains hand and arm muscles.
The Stinger with its whimsical, rodeo look attracts toddlers to play for a shorter or longer ride. Aside from its appealing shapes, the Stinger offers a tactile variation with its rubber hand holds and smooth body. Tactile richness is the main motivator, especially in younger children. It supports their understanding of material characteristics such as weight, smoothness, temperature and flexibility. The slightly sloped seat provides a seating destination that ensures hours of fun. The soothing, rocking movement of the Stinger trains the sense of balance and spatial awareness. These are both crucial for body confidence, e.g. fall prevention. A well-developed sense of balance is fundamental for the ability to sit still and concentrate. The Stinger offers children more than a mere fun ride.
Play Value
Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.
Foot support
Physical
the footrest supports intensive rocking, which stimulates the senses of balance and space, fundamental for managing the world securely.
Rocking spring
Physical
response to movements adds to spatial awareness and sense of balance which are fundamental motor skills.
Cognitive
trains the understanding of cause and effect: when I move my body, the spring responds with movement.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
