Rainy Day Indoor 3 Piece Combo Kit

(Sorry if you are reading this review more than once. I think it is an important enough warning that I have taken the time to post it in each place where the swing is sold.)

Both of my children loved this swing. My daughter, five years old at the time, would swing rather high on it. One day she swung forward and leaned to the side. The swing came back and she literally split her head open on the door frame. She needed four internal stitches and eight external. It was a miserable 8 hours in the ER.

You may be surprised to hear that my bottom line is I think this product is awesome and worth buying. Swinging is great for kids, but be smart. Put a helmet on your child so if they do lean slightly to the side at the least helmet will take the brunt of it on the way forward or back.

We no longer allow our kids to use the swing just because we were a little traumatized by our earlier experience, but my daughter (now 6.5) takes real flying trapeze lessons (with safety ropes) and swings on our permanently attached doorway bar constantly to "practice", so we are going to allow them to use the trapeze attachment with a helmet, as well as simply swinging from the top bar (no feet allowed up there, though).

I would definitely rate this swing five stars if a helmet were recommended. They do say "no leaning" and we told her to sit straight in the swing, but when you are five and laughing and having a good time, you're not always focused on "sitting straight" so it makes sense to me to tell them to sit straight AND recommend a helmet.

I hope this review saves some other child a trip to the ER. Happy swinging!

This is the #1 played with toy everyday! Every child should have one! Best investment EVER! We first bought this when my son was 1 and at the time lived in a Condo with no yard and didn't have a play center. This was the perfect solution for bringing an outdoor activity inside! Easy installation, never even screwed anything in, it's just pressure mounted and believe me, my 185 lbs husband hung on it and it can hold him! We have the infant swing, the strap swing, the trapeze bar and the hammock I can swing in it with both my kids ages 2 and 4. Hammock is awesome for little babies, it rocks them to sleep and they are deep enough it cradles them. Love it so much bought another bar for my baby girl and can swing them both at the same time. Now, my 5yr old son swings on it everyday since he was 1. So even though it may seem pricey for a swing ask yourself, how many toys does your children play with the same toy for 4 over years? Probably till he's 9, I would say that's the best investment ever! I love it so much even took it on the plane to grandparents house for the other kiddos cause it snows there and everyone loves it too!

NOTE: They recently (maybe 1-2 years) had a safety upgrade on the infant swing, a simple bar and 2 O rings in front to prevent safety straps from shifting/ sliding which may result in positioning baby sideways also doubles as a toy bar to hang toys from. I wasn't aware of this and they gave me upgrade for free, so careful when buying somewhere else online and not direct from the company make sure you have this safety upgrade if not contact them They are a awesome company, personally spoke with one of the original inventors and he is a family man too and cares and treats his company like family, they were so nice, helpful and eager to please. Awesome product from awesome company.

My children got this for Christmas 2011, and love, love, love this thing. By far it was the best gift we had ever purchased. They were fighting for who got to swing next 2 months after we got it.

That was until the swing rope broke while my daughter was swinging. She fell to the ground hard and got hurt! Fortunately she didn't break anything, but got pretty bruised up.

Another issue I had is there are black stoppers on each side to keep the swing centered where it needs to be at. These are very flimsy, and one of my stoppers has already broke. I really don't understand why the company didn't make this much better.

I rate this product 5 stars for fun, but seeing the high risk of accident, either by them hitting the doorway, or the rope completely breaking, I would stay away from this product!

We bought this for my daughter's 5th birthday and she is completely in love with it. We've also had about a week of rain so it's gotten plenty of use already. She definitely favors the strap swing and she gets almost as much air/height as she does outside. The trapeze bar is really high and though she is 44 inches she can barely reach it so perhaps in another year it will work for her. I'm leaning towards purchasing a small tumbling mat to put underneath when she uses it.

I would definitely recommend supervision if multiple children are playing just to keep anyone from getting hurt but I highly recommend!

My 6yo daughter has ADHD, SPD and a few other issues that calm when she is in motion. Until now she could only get the best calming effect on the play ground. Now she can swing when she starts to feel stressed or overwhelmed. She has had this swing 3 days and just announced it is a "dream come true" I have to agree. I also find my stress levels in the evenings are getting lower :)

I also agree with the mom about the helmet if there is any doubt about a little one leaning to the side as we have had a couple of bumps due to the tight area, she is now wearing her bike helmet to soar and is singing which is music to this tired momma's ears.

No regrets on this purchase!
