Editorial Review

Your baby or small toddler may be too young to swim with a dolphin, but it's not too early to swing with one! Molded in a single piece from tough blue plastic, this aquatic friend attaches to a standard swing set. It's cradled by four strong yellow polyurethane ropes that attach to two steel S-hooks. The dolphin's seat area is a full 8 inches deep, even at the sides, and is 12 inches at the back. Most important to parents is the safety belt, which is located just above the leg holes. Even the worst squirm worm won't slip out. The swing is designed to be installed so that the dolphin's belly is 16 to 24 inches off the ground. --Richard Farr

This review is from: Step 2 Dolphin Swing (Toy)

I originally bought the high back swing with the clasps in the front of the swing which were plastic. After 1 summer the plastic clasps broke so I bought this one since I love dolphins and this swing seemed to have good ratings. I do like this swing. My son loves it too. He gets so excited when I place him into it. The only problem I have is when my 1 1/2 year old leans to the side, so does the swing. The rope in the back of the dolphins slides when the baby slides to one side. I keep on having to adjust the straps so the swing doesn't lean over.

Our two-year-old has enjoyed this swing since she was seven months old. It's very durable and safe. The high back and seat belt provide great protection for the infants, yet the swing is still swinging the smaller preschoolers. I never felt uneasy about putting an infant in the swing. Our neighbor is also using this swing for her infant. A great safe toy.

I bought this swing for my 2 year old since his little tykes swing was recalled. The age limit for the dolphin swing says from 12 months to 3 years on the website description. Well, my son is 2 and is of average size and cannot even fit a foot into the swing. The little girl next door is 1 1/2 and she barely fits into it. Also getting in and out of it for her was so uncomfortable and she was screaming. I sent this back and would only recommend it for a small child or a child under 1. I am going to write to STEP2 and suggest they either make the swing bigger or change the age limits.
