Very nice but makes an odd noise

My children love their new swing. The seat and ropes are very sturdy. My only complaint is that the straps which wrap around the metal pole make a loud sound when the swing is in motion with a heavier child. In my case my 46lb and 70lb children. I put some felt in between the strap and metal to ease the rubbing and it stopped the noise completely.

Great design, lots of fun

Kids love it; easy install and sturdy enough to hold an adult. Thank you.

Just what we needed

I have 3 kids with different sensory seeking/avoiding needs and they all use the swing. The only problem we have now is deciding how to take turns:)

Amazing play value!

We got the swing and bar and rings for my six year old daughter for Christmas and she loves it. She is a very active child who needs movement in order to regulate and she goes upstairs to play on her swing independently, rather than climbing upside down on the living room furniture! Her friends have been coming over to practice tricks on the swing and she also uses it in the evening to calm down before bed.

Excellent quality

As a teacher who specializes in sensory equipment I have to say the quality of this swing is exceptional. I bought it from my home for my two-year-old daughter who is an active child and who loves swings she has thoroughly enjoyed the sensory swing and the red big girls swing thank you so much for such an incredible product highly recommend.
