"My son loves it he is 8 months old I wanted it for indoors for rainy days it has worked like magic I ordered the Sunny Health & Fitness Door Way Chin Up from amazon as well so that I could hand on my door ^_^."
"I bought a tree swing hanging set (FEMOR 4FT Tree Swing Strap) that consists of just one heavy-duty strap with spinning carabiner and hooked both hardware of the swing onto the one carabiner and in one minute the installation was done."
"This swing seems stable enough."
"And I like the hooks better than older baby swings I've seen that were basically closed loops."
"Very simple swing but well made - grandbaby loves it!"
"Our two grandsons love this little toddler swing."
"It was already put together, and my husband was able to hang it at our swing set easily. This swing is perfect size and will be able to be used for a couple years."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I almost ordered the red one with the yellow tray for feeding or snacking because I thought it was pretty cute until I read the few reviews and saw that it tipped. The seat where the butt goes dips in a bit so they actually sit into the swing and do not lean forward at all. I would highly recommend this swing to all others especially the ones that dont have an easy access for kids."
"I gushed to my little one, who gave me a toothy baby grin before reaching out to pull the cat's tail. My baby fits comfortably and, despite his giant size (90% for height), I can see he'll have plenty of room to grow. The swing has been sturdy and perfectly fine despite the crazy strong winds we've got blowing off the bay here."
"This swings a bit crooked and we cannot seem to get it leveled out, but it isn't as bad as the FP swing that I had to return."
"Very nice quality."
"Good swing!"
"People complain it is hard to adjust straps to shorten or lengthen, but it really isn’t bad to adjust."
"My 7 month old and 19 month old love it."
"Don't buy this swing."

"What I liked over the other kinds: Bar was heavy duty with hardware completely through the bar and the handles under the bar are coated with a tough rubbery coating over steel inside."
"This is exactly what i was looking for to replace my old ones."
"We purchased the Jungle Gym Trapeze, 2 swings, 3 sets of heavy duty swing hangers and the Eastern Jungle Gym brackets for wood swings sets."
"They provide nice screw locking carabiners as well as more than enough chain for most playsets."
"Easy to set up and gives the kids a good workout."

"The wield nuts have good teeth that lock into your climbing wall."
"The grips are great, but I wanted to buy and install extra T-Nuts so I can move these around without having to take the wall down, but I can't find the size anywhere."
"The only complaint is the instruction sheet said it included a 3/8 Allen wrench which it did not."
"These are really great climbing holds."
"Just installed these on July 1st and my 3 year old granddaughter hasn't seen the rock climbing wall yet so I can't give them a 5 star rating until I see how she does with it."
"All items were included in the packaging and it arrived on time without issue."
"the rocks work well but the attached bolts require relatively thin wood due to their length."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"It is the newest hit in our neighborhood - my daughter and her friends have declared it a "boy-free zone". It is big/strong enough for three of them - I am pretty sure it can handle even more weight because I tested it with me and my wife on it at the same time. I have overheard them pretending it is a sailing ship, an airplace, a car and a rollercoaster."
"Before picking this swing I did alot of research and also spent this past weekend at my local HD trying to see what was out there, if i could do something like this myself and what the cost would be. I left confused and NOT HOPEFUL..I picked this one because it said "everything included" "easy installation" but I really didnt believe it and I was prepared to pay someone to put this up."
"Plus, it's a great ice breaker for when other kids come over."
"I had just barely enough of the 10' rope to make it work, but in the end it was perfect."
"This is the absolute best outdoor toy I have every bought."
"EVERYONE in the family from the adults to the grandkids have had a blast with this swing!"
"My 2 year old granddaughter loves this swing and we can swing on it with her very comfortably."
"Makes for nice quality time with the girls but is a problem when they want to swing for an hour or more!"

"2) The 3/8" drill bit listed in the instructions is great for drilling new holes when the old ones are off by 1/2" but not for what the instructions say to use it for (see item 3)."
"I built a tree house for my kids and thought the slide would be a great addition. My kids love it."
"With a sub $500 cost, and no options for a 6'-4" height deck, we improvised a bit and dug the bottom of the slide into ground, helping stabilize the slide a bit more. This will help the plastic "give" a bit and make it easier to assemble. Overall, it took us around 5 hours for assembly and letting the kids enjoy the slide."
"The bottom of the mounting panel, where the tube is affixed to the structure, needs to be 7' off the ground. The "Turbo Tube Slide" comes in wide half-shell pieces which must be bolted together ad nauseam with hundreds? Be sure to use the washers on both the tube and the mounting panel, or the bolt/nuts can cut into the plastic when under stress."
"Pros: -It is a slide. Cons: -Diameter of slide is TINY (this is for small small children). -Plastic is flimsy and low quality (this is definitely a low use lower end residential slide as the panels warp and flex easily). -Fastener quality (the majority are electroplate nickel). -Fastener length (the 3/4" fasteners are rather useless). -Manufacturing quality is poor. -Instructions are not the easiest way to put this together. -Brace is not a great design. My suggestions if you buy this slide after assembling it are: Take all of the 3/4" bolts that the slide comes with and toss them."

"We love this dome climber."
"I've found that my kids who do gymnastics can work on their flips on it easily, albeit one at a time. It also has these black handgrips that the kids can use to help pull themselves up, but I've found that the bars are really good enough. I've found that I love watching videos of a product because it helps me see what it's actually like better than pictures do."
"I got this for my daughter for Christmas along with this 20ft Play Parachute Kids Children Colorful Outdoor Game Exercise Sport Toy With 16 Handles 20 ft. parachute to throw over the top, so she can use it as a fort."
"I dropped one star only because the matte powder coat (though pretty) makes the surface a little less "grippy" than the versions I've seen in playgrounds."
"I enjoyed putting this thing together. I got two girls, 3 and 6 years old."
"Pros: relatively easy assembly, can be moved around the yard to accommodate mowing needs, bars don't seem to get too hot in the sun, very sturdy. Cons: VERY HEAVY in package... once it was delivered, I tried to move the box (20 weeks pregnant) and quickly realized it would have to stay put until my husband got home."
"Its design is awkward so if you think that you can get inside and help a climbing kid.. think twice."

Find Best Price at Amazon"Some folks may prefer a bar to hang their yoga swing from so that they can adjust the width, but since I have an A-frame roof with exposed beams, these were less obtrusive. I think I hung them too wide for the yoga hammock for my size and I think I will get a bar and put a chain through it to connect with carabiners to the Heavy Duty Swing Hangers."
"Product arrived with sturdy, useful swing hangers inside."
"This worked great for my aerial yoga setup."
"We used these to hang a Jungle Gym Kingdom swing and a Little Tykes baby swing from a 4"x6" beam."
"Been using it for a large swing set I put together in the backyard and it's smooth and I feel confident, the structure would collapse before these hangers failed."

Find Best Price at Amazon"The only thing wrong with this toy is that my kids keep fighting over it. The seats are big enough that the older kids sit on them with a little one in front of them."
"The handle bars on one side had too much weld in the way for holes to line up for bolts. Otherwise instructions were easy to follow and I am a woman put together by myself it just took a lot longer than if I would have had help. Overall great toy kids will enjoy endless hours of fun for years to come."
"We also have kept this in the same spot on the lawn and now there is a ring of dirt in place of grass where this spins - when the kids outgrow it we will have our grass back!"
"The kids absolutely love it and it seems to be made of very durable materials."
"But as for that, only time will tell."
"Kids LOVE, LOVE this gift."
"Do protect the seats though from the weather because they are just cloth, and yes the grass underneath will have a circular path worn in it."
