Why is Quadro a great investment for your family?
Quadro is designed to last a lifetime when used as directed. Since its introduction in 1978, there have been many thousands of families who have played for years with Quadro and then passed on to the next generation.For all children, Quadro is a great way to help kids develop gross and fine motor skills as well as social play interaction.
Quadro is for what age group?
Quadro is a play system designed to "grow" with all children starting with infants. As the children get older, the way Quadro is used is simply adapted to meet the new demands for age-appropriate activity, learning or play activities.
Examples:
Infants: Adults build enclosed play area, high chair, change table, etc.
Toddlers: Adults build play structures ... house, fort, platforms, vehicles, pool, etc.
Pre-Schoolers: Adults assist with construction of lofts, furniture, vehicles, dramatic play, etc.
Pre-Teens: Kids build their own furniture
Teens: Design and build their own special construction projects
College: Use in dorm rooms as cubbies/shelvingAdults:
Early childhood educators use in classes and child care facilities
Team building coordinators use to create challenging team building activities
Swim schools use for training platforms
Is Quadro safe?
Quadro has been sold around the world for over 20 years without any mishap attributable to the product. Quadro is extremely strong and rugged, has no sharp corners, contains no toxic materials, has no protruding screws or bolts. Construction guidelines must be followed correctly and smaller children at play should be supervised at all times. Quadro should only be used for purposes it was intended.
Indoors or Outdoors?
Quadro can be safely used either indoors/outdoors & summer/winter. Due to the long term effects of UV rays, we do not recommend extended exposure to sunlight - shaded areas are best.
Special Needs Kids?
Quadro can be safely and easily be adapted to use by kids with special needs. You can custom designs walkers, walking aids, rolling aids, and other play structures to meet the height and size requirements. Sight-impaired kids also find Quadro a good way to have fun and be creative.
Who can build Quadro?
Generally kids ages 3 and up can be involved in the construction process. Kids under 3 should only play on age-appropriate designs to meet their mobility skill level. The older the child and the more creative and "handy" they become, the more complex structures they can build themselves. We recommend proper adult supervision as appropriate to the age or skill level of the child.
How strong is Quadro?
Quadro is primarily designed for safe use by children and adults up to about 110 lbs.
Why Quadro uses primary colors?
Quadro is for "children" and children like primary colors. Adults must look at Quadro through the eyes of children.
Is there Color Fading?
Quadro components are made from thermoplastic which contain UV inhibitors however, exposure of the tubes and panels to direct sunlight for prolonged periods of time will eventually begin the fading process. The fabric accessories are not UV treated and will fade more quickly in sunlight. If the Quadro is used indoors, direct sunlight through windows could have the same effect as being outside. Even if there is eventually some fading, it will not affect the quality or durability of the components.
TESTiMONIALS
"If I could only buy my child one toy - it would be Quadro. You can do so many different things with it, it challenges the brain as well as muscles. It lasts forever. Nothing like it anywhere"
"The best toy I have ever bought is a building kit called Quadro. We bought it for my son 7 years ago and have since added to it. It can be built into all sorts of different designs like climbing frames, cars, slides even tables and chairs. It is extremely strong in fact on the box it shows an elephant standing on it. It comes with a mini version of itself, so you can make your designs in the house, before going out to build the real thing. My children and their friends have had loads of fun with it, and are still enjoying playing with it 7 years on. There aren't many toys that can claim to keep them entertained for that long."
"LOVE IT! What a great toy! We have a semi-permanent playground in our living room. My boys play on and under it constantly. It is their fort, puppet show and playground all in one. They walk up one slide and go down the other. We are still really looking forward to getting a lodge kit. Any news on that one? I suspect we will be adding a few other accessories in the future. We look forward to "lemonade stand" weather.
I haven't taken any great pictures yet - I'm too busy building."
"I own several Quadro kits and accessories. They are used by my 3 year old daughter and 7 year old son. I have created a huge playset in my basement for my kids. My son is severely autistic and non-verbal. Due to the severity of his disability we are not able to take him to public playgrounds. My son has very limited interests, however, he does enjoy his Quadro."
"Thank you for carrying the Quadro product. I would definitely recommend it to others - it is a very durable product with many uses. There aren’t many products that can grow with your child like Quadro."
"I currently live in Switzerland and have had Quadro for years. I am ordering Quadro from you for relatives in Hamilton, Bermuda because I cannot think of a better gift to give a family with young children"
"Our house burned down recently and Quadro was one of the first things we replaced. We would not want to go through a Kansas winter without it!
"The Quadro we bought for our daughter’s birthday was an immediate hit. We set it up for here (as a playhouse) for the birthday party and the children “swarmed” over it non-stop during the festivities. Every child who comes over to play immediately gravitates to it. We have had it set up in our living room and in the yard. We have re-c0nfigured it 6 or 7 ways in the four months we have owned it. Our daughter even thinks it’s fun to help take it apart and put it back together again."
"Quadro is one of the best kids toys - ever. Thanks!"
"My parents gave our sons a set of Quadro building pieces about 18 to 20 years ago. The instructions indicate a copyright of 1983. I now have a 2 year old nephew to whom I would like to pass the playset. Just need to replace a few of the missing pieces - thanks for your help."
"Cannot say enough about Quadro - we ordered it all the way from Germany until we found you here in the USA. For the past few years my kids have created new designs every few weeks - they never get bored. Quadro is the best product that combines creativity, mind challenge, physical development and just plain fun"
"My company uses Quadro in our adult leadership training course. Participants have to create a design to meet a specific task and then create a structure from a specific number of Quadro parts. It’s a real creative and mental challenge. Quadro fits our needs perfectly."
"Our two year old twin girls just love Quadro - they are in and out of their playhouse constantly. Grandmother Vivi bought them a Junior kit for their birthday - more options. This summer we are adding a slide and converting our Quadro into a play platform with slide for the back yard."
"I teach 2-5 year olds with disabilities. The original Junior Quadro set I ordered shipped directly from Germany over 9 years ago. I now have the Junior, Universal, Slide and Textile sets for my preschool class. It's difficult where to begin listing the benefits of Quadro - from the fine and gross motors skills training to the infinite variety of structures which can be created. We build something new every 2-4 weeks to follow the themes we teach-a school bus, apple barn, castle, zoo, sleigh, circus ring, etc. The children love it!"
" After so many years of positive experiences, it's hard to consider my classroom without Quadro. I'm glad to hear it's easily available here in the USA."
