The Turbo Carousel is a playground hit that will make children come back again and again. With its responsive rings that rotate around their own axis and around the pole, too, the Turbo Carousel attracts children immediately. The upper body muscles and cores of children are constantly at work when hanging in arms or head down. This trains the upper body muscles as well as spatial awareness. These skills are important for confidently navigating the body in the world. Jumping down, spinning friends around and making the way up again activate children’s motor skills, muscles, cardio and build their bone density. These are developed for life in childhood, so the more they play, the more they gain. The step point support children of different sizes to access the spinning experience. The rings provide high play capacity, which in turn spurs rough-and-tumble play, cooperation and turn-taking. This builds social-emotional learnings and friendships for life.

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.
balance, spatial awareness and coordination are developed when spinning around, as well as arm and core muscles when holding tight. Jumping off strengthens bone density, which is built for life in early childhood.
turn-taking, cooperation and empathy are trained when many children are spinning together.

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).
