A

teeter totter

is  most common playground design of seesaw features a board balanced in the center. A person sits on each end, and they take turns pushing their feet against the ground to lift their side into the air.

Playground

teeter totters

usually have handles for the riders to grip as they sit facing each other. One problem with the

teeter totters

's design is that if a child allows himself/herself to hit the ground suddenly after jumping, or exits the seesaw at the bottom, the other child may fall and be injured. For this reason,

teeter totters

are often mounted above a soft surface such as foam, wood chips, or sand.

Also are manufactured in shapes designed to look like other things, such  as animals.
