Spring Swings Original Disc Swing

Most importantly, my kids (3 & 5 years old) love this swing. There are so many various ways to play with it. First, there is back and forth, traditional swinging. Second, my kids like to go in circles (they call it driving the race car), spinning (lovingly called "helicopter"), bouncing like a pogo, and bouncing while swinging (which they call "off-roading"). I have had it for about a month and they ask to go outside and play on it everyday, no exaggeration, which is what we were hoping when we bought it--fresh air and exercise. Ours hangs from a tree, so it is a great alternative to a full up swing set.One thing I'd like to point out is that I thought it would be more bouncy. In reality, it is more like a shock absorber when being swung. In other words, it elongates on the bottom of the swing, and whips them up at the top, and they love it. You can make it bounce by pulling on it as it swings, and it will bounce a few times before evening out. I suppose this should have been intuitive, but I had a different image in my mind when I bough it. Nonetheless, we love it and recommend it to others.

This was a wildly popular addition to our back yard. I hung it from a sturdy oak tree branch some thirty feet up. I used a heavy duty rope to connect to the spring part and wrap around the tree branch. I did some research on the best knots (a 'hangman' type knot to the swing and a knot I could tighten from the ground to secure the rope to the branch) and the result was very secure. A favorite game was to swing with one of the dog's toys which resulted in a hyper-excited hound and screaming kids. Of course with that length of rope the arc of the swing was huge. We never had a collision with the tree trunk but if you didn't watch out and duck, well, you were in for a wallop.

This product is really about as simple as it gets for a tree swing with a spring 'shock absorber' that makes the ride smooth. The only problem with the shock absorber device is that if a heavier person gets on the swing, they will sit much closer to the ground. Otherwise the product is of good quality. A neighbor has had this device installed in their front yard for 2 years and it still works well. I installed it on a very high tree branch (~25ft) and the kids have a blast!

We have had this for a couple of years now and my kids still love this swing. It has been used under an old oak tree and hangs from a tall branch. The kids are able to get some good height and really like the swing. It is well made and will hold an adult. I would definitely buy again.

I bought this for our Grand Kids, ages 5 to 10. We have a very high vaulted ceiling with big beams holding up the roof. I attached the swing to one of those beams. Then I measured the rope that holds the swing so that the Grand Kids wouldn't crash into the walls when they swung. They love it. When they're at our house they're swinging on this half the time while they're here. They bring their friends over to play on the swing. The key to this device is that there's a very heavy spring inside the cylinder. This gives the user a fun bouncy ride as they careen around our living room. If you have a place to hang this your young kids will love it. It will work outside if you have a big sturdy branch to attach it to. However, by having it inside they can use it year round and in particular when it's raining or snowing outside.

Worked well and as intended. That said, I'd probably save the money if I had to do it again and get the very very cheap version that does not bounce. Bc it really does not bounce that much.

Son ( about 70 lbs) has been using it almost a year and still loves bouncing on it.

Bought this swing to go with the regular swings on our backyard set, the kids love it as a change from the typical swing - it bounces and they love that.
