I need help remembering the name of a toy from the 60s (so I can make another "childhood trauma" post). But I need a picture.

It was a relatively large plastic thing that looked like a capital "U" with extended winged ends. Two kids could "teeter-totter" on it, or if it was turned upside down, one could use it as a small slide. Or, one kid could sit in the middle and get spun around.

~U~

Sort of like this... but without the handles... and a deeper middle...

can't help with the toy - did my growing up elsewhere! have you tried tineye for possible hits? maybe the one you found is close enough?

No... the one I found is much too substantial...


I suppose I could post about Jarts.

Whoever thought up THOSE things. Yes... let's give kids pointed razor-sharp projectiles and have them HEAVE them at one another!!!
