Our Story
Topsy Turvy was founded in 2022 from a passion for creating fun, safe, and challenging indoor activity spaces for children and their families.
We believe that strength and functional fitness are essential for a child’s mental and physical development. Having grown up with indoor play gyms overseas, Olya experienced first-hand how much they encourage imagination, resilience, and confidence. Wanting the same for her own children, she teamed up with Ben to bring this concept to life — and Topsy Turvy was born.
Today, we design and customise multi-functional indoor play equipment that’s sustainable, long-lasting, and strong. From toddlers burning energy to adults training mobility and strength, our Swedish ladders (also called wall bars or stall bars) are suitable for ages 3 to 103.

Why Families Choose Swedish Ladders
Swedish ladders, also known as wall bars or stall bars, have a rich history. First invented in the 1800s by Pehr Henrik Ling, founder of Swedish gymnastics, they were originally designed for therapeutic exercise. Over time, they became a staple in schools, rehabilitation centres, and fitness facilities worldwide.
Today, they remain one of the most versatile pieces of indoor play equipment. Children use them for climbing, swinging, and hanging, while adults rely on them for stretching, rehabilitation, and strength training.
Benefits for kids include:
- Building core strength, balance, and coordination
- Boosting confidence and independence
- Offering a durable, screen-free alternative to devices
Growing with them from toddlerhood through their teenage years
