CLIFF FLEX, Compact and PRO are indoor climbing frames for children from approx. 1 to 6 years. They mainly differ in whether the frame is foldable, which accessories are already included and how many play positions are possible.
In short: CLIFF FLEX is the foldable option with a safety mat. CLIFF Compact comes as a set with a slide ramp and wooden trapeze. CLIFF PRO offers five play positions and also includes a safety mat.

Which model fits your everyday life?
CLIFF FLEX: if you want a foldable frame
CLIFF FLEX can be set up in three positions and folded after play. The beige safety mat is included. The slide ramp and wooden trapeze are not part of the set and are available separately.
FLEX is particularly suitable if you do not want the play area to be permanently occupied by the assembled frame. During use, FLEX also needs sufficient free space around the frame.
CLIFF Compact: if you want the slide ramp and trapeze included
CLIFF Compact is a set consisting of the climbing frame, a 3-in-1 slide ramp and a wooden trapeze. The ramp can be used as a slide, climbing wall or ball track. A safety mat is not included.
Compact is particularly suitable if you want the accessories included from the start and can plan a permanent space for the non-foldable frame. The frame dimensions of 84 × 105 × 113 cm do not include the additional space needed for the extended slide ramp.
CLIFF PRO: if five play positions are important
CLIFF PRO can be rotated into five play positions. It is not foldable and comes with a beige safety mat. The slide ramp and wooden trapeze are available separately.
PRO is particularly suitable if you want to create a permanent movement area and several frame positions are important to you.
Things to consider before buying
- Allow sufficient free space around the frame dimensions and keep distance from furniture, walls and other obstacles.
- With CLIFF Compact, the slide ramp extends beyond the stated frame dimensions.
- Use the climbing frame indoors only, on a stable, level surface and under the direct supervision of an adult.
- Check screws, connections and components before use. Follow the supplied assembly and user instructions.
- The age recommendation does not replace an assessment of the child's development, abilities and behaviour.
All three frames were developed in Austria and manufactured in the EU. You can find more information about materials, manufacturer documentation and how we handle safety information under Quality, safety & origin.
Frequently asked questions about the CLIFF comparison
Which CLIFF climbing frame is foldable?
Only CLIFF FLEX is foldable. Compact and PRO are designed for a fixed setup.
Which model includes the slide ramp and wooden trapeze?

Which models come with a safety mat?

Which model is suitable when space is limited?
If you want to free up the area again after play, FLEX has the advantage of being foldable. All models require additional free space during use. With Compact, you also need space for the extended slide ramp. The full space required therefore cannot be determined from the frame dimensions alone.
What age are FLEX, Compact and PRO intended for?
All three climbing frames have a recommended age of approx. 1 to 6 years. The child's development, correct use and direct supervision by an adult are also important.
