What I liked: The distinctive red-and-turquoise Little Tikes playground equipment had things I have never seen anywhere else, things I don’t know the name for, things I had no idea how to use. There was also an Expression Swing for parents and babies (see below). I first heard about these on a website called Stroller Parking, which reviews playgrounds in the Montreal area, and had been wondering why we didn’t have any in Quebec City, so I was very excited to try it. Both Sebastian and Penelope loved it!

What I didn’t like: Nothing.

The Expression Swing - the manufacturers, GameTime, claim it promotes ‘emotional bonding’ between parent and child.
