Safety Information
Children’s safety is our top priority.
That’s why all Stapelstein® products are:
- Safe for mouth contact
- Free from sharp edges and corners
- Non-slip
Play Safely
Use a level, non-slip surface when balancing or building obstacle courses with Stapelstein® products.
We recommend stacking a maximum of 3 elements for climbing activities.
All Stapelstein® products are waterproof but are not flotation devices.
Sharp objects such as scissors, stones, knives, nails, wire, or teeth may leave permanent marks on the elements. Significant damage may affect product stability.
Water Play with Stapelstein® Elements
Stapelstein® elements are waterproof and can be used safely in water. However, please note:
Wet Stapelstein® elements are slippery and are not a substitute for flotation devices. They are not intended for life-saving purposes!
To ensure safe play in water, please follow these instructions:
- Children must be supervised at all times when playing in or near water, regardless of their swimming abilities.
- Use elements only in water depths appropriate to your child's swimming level.
- Stapelstein® elements in water are suitable only for children who can swim safely and independently.
- The elements are not suitable for diving or as diving boards/springboards.
- Always observe applicable safety rules at the swimming pool and use the elements only where permitted.
- Dry the elements thoroughly after use—especially bowl-shaped ones—to prevent mold and bacterial growth.
Outdoor Use
Stapelstein® elements are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Please note: The elements are not designed for long-term outdoor storage. Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause discoloration and material fatigue.
Please be aware that intensive UV radiation can lead to permanent changes in the material and color.
To preserve the durability of your elements, store them in a dry, shaded location, protected from UV rays and weather conditions such as frost, moisture, or heat.
