The Stinger with it’s whimsical, rodeo look attracts toddlers for a shorter or longer ride, again and again. Apart from its appealing shapes, the Stinger offers 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 which ensures hours, years and decades of fun. The soothing, rocking movement of the Stinger trains the sense of balance and the 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.
Quality that lasts
The seat is made of recycable PE and moulded in one piece with a minimum 5mm wall thickness. PE has high impact resistance across a wide temperature span which ensures vandal resistance in all locations.
KOMPAN Springs are made of high quality spring steel according to EN10270. The springs are cleaned by phosphating before they are painted with an epoxy primer and a polyester powder coating as top finish. The springs are fixed by unique anti pinch fittings for maximum safety and long lifetime.
The springs are fixed by unique anti pinch fittings for maximum safety and long lifetime.
Handles are made with a moulded PP insert and an outer layer of soft TPV rubber. The handles are attached to the pipe with a galvanised steel inlay to ensure strength and durability.
The steel surfaces are hot dip galvanised inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanisation has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
KOMPAN GreenLine versions are designed with ultimate environmentally friendly materials with lowest possible CO2e emission factor such as EcoCoreTM panels of 100% post consumer recycled ocean waste.

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 enable 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).
