This is a great swing, very durable, thick and heavy even for the bigger kids! While we did have a little bit of time into the installation, the result was perfect!
We have a wooden swingset (Rainbow) it required a hole drilled through the 6 inch beam, good thing my husband is good with a long drill bit.
The instructions were perfect, it just was a little more than just clipping the swing onto the carabiners.
It would be great for anyone who is planning on hanging it from a tree- very simple installation in that case.

Looked promising since it is made from recycled materials. However the design is bad:
1) The seat is hollow and kids hate to sit in/on it, hurts their bottom. We have to put a pillow in it to fill up the seat. Saw similar tire horse swings at the local hardware store for half the price, (yes taxes but no shipping!)that have a rounded (convex) seat. Have to look into altering the design.
2) The stirrups are way to small to fit even the smallest feet, and are useless.
3) The rubber is made shiny with a product that rubs off on clothes and is hard to get off.

Easy to finish with the sizing etc of the rope etc. Will prob last 20 years plus the way it is made.

I am a little disappointed that the swing is so unstable. It is for my grandson, and he was pretty unsure when he first got on it, but seems to be adapting to the tipsy nature of the beast. I did make a rope bridle for it that I looped all the way around the swing that gives it a lot more stability and something more for him to hold on to.

My grandmother bought this for her house for the great-grandkids. My 7 year old played with it, my 2 year old played with it, and they swung on it together. Very sturdy, the kids didn't have a problem staying on, not flimsy whatsoever. I'm buying my own right now!
