I bought this last Christmas for my (then) very active 4 year old boy. It is hands-down the favorite toy in my neighborhood for everyone. Even my 2 year old can now hang from it and swing. I believe it has been instrumental in helping with balance, agility and coordination. You should see the tricks my son & his best friends- 4 year old twin girls -have taught themselves to do!
Amazing! Hanging it was an obstacle- my husband has to climb up the tree- but you only need to do it once.

It's weathered very well- the rope and the handle are still in great condition and it was left out all winter (in NJ)!

I bought my girls, ages 7 and 4, this product earlier this spring. It was easy to assemble, but finding the right height at which to hang it was a fairly time consuming process. It has been up for 4 months now and has seen daily use. When our play group meets here, the kids line up to have a turn, over and over again. I would recommend this for children who are reasonably coordinated and who have enough upper body strength to hold themselves up by their hands. A very durable product and a fun physical activity.

I tried this toy out at my friends house. It is the best ever.
Every kid(13 and under) needs to have it!!!

My six year old daughter loves her Twizzler. In a fairly short time she's learned how to do different things on it like swing out on it while spinning, swing around in a big circle, and swing backwards. She chooses to go out and play on it, and her swing set.

The biggest challenge I had was finding the right tree and tree branch to hang it from. You need a branch that goes out a ways from the trunk, so they wont' accidentally swing into of course, and that branch has be low enough to get your rope over. The rope that comes with the Twizzler isn't long enough to reach a branch that's higher up.

I had to use an extra rope, a tall ladder and several tosses to get ours up, but I do think it was worth the effort. She really does enjoy swinging on it.

We have given a twizzler to each of our seven grandchildren and all of our nieces and nephews.
The never wear out and the kids twirl on them into their teens.

We have only had this for a few days. My six year old who has needed occupational therapy for fine motor skills and has been diaognosed as hyperactive loves it. I feel that it is good for building up the strength in his hands. I installed it in just a few minutes -- most of that time was spent looking for a limb of the right thickness and height in my yard. The first limb I selected was way too thick and put the Twizzler too high. Purchasers may want to take into account the thickness of the limbs they want to use as well as the height. Overall, this is a really a fun activity for my son.

My 5 year old loves this toy! It hangs from our tree and she gets it going in a circle and pulls up her feet and lets go! She goes round and round! My older 2 like it too, and all they have to do is throw it up and around the branch so it is closer to the branch, making it shorter for taller kids. When they are done, the unwrap it and it is ready for my 5 year old again.

Bought this for a foster child, so she'd have athletic toys in the yard, and other kids would want to come play. It worked for those, and she loves to twirl and spin on it. I'd say it's great for building upper body strength, takes up a small area, and amuses children for 1-20 minutes at a whack (pretty good for today's child!).
PROBLEM: the plastic handle is joined together by screw/bolts. These do not sit prettily together after some use and yesterday 2 neighbor kids got blood blisters using it when it pinched their fingers. Granted, one of them I will be happy not to have return, but I do not like toys that hurt children! I would return it, but the time just expired. Anyone know how to make contact with the company?

When our daughter outgrew her toddler swing seat, we had an empty spot open on the playset, ready for an addition. I found this twizzler while searching on Amazon and thought it looked fun. It is. Our kids and the neighbor's kids all love it. It spins and makes them dizzy. Clean fun. Nothing more and nothing less. The only drawback is it's not so intuitive how to install it on the high beam. And it helps to have two people getting it up: one down below measuring the right height. Otherwise, very cool.

Granted we've only had this for about 3 weeks but it's a big hit. My son, who turns 7 soon, absolutely loves it. He says it's totally awesome - what better review can a kid give than that? Yeah, the rope could have been longer, we did have to improvise by tying on an extra rope, but that wasn't that big of a deal. He twizzles, swings, does tricks, has a great time on it and it's gotten a lot of use. I don't see it as something he'll get bored with anytime soon. Give it a shot, I think you'll love it!
