"My son loves it he is 8 months old I wanted it for indoors for rainy days it has worked like magic I ordered the Sunny Health & Fitness Door Way Chin Up from amazon as well so that I could hand on my door ^_^."
"We bought two of these swings for our ten month old twins."
"We used this on our new swing set."
"Okay, so we're not using this with a swing set, we're using it with a 90 foot zip line in the back yard."
"I bought a tree swing hanging set (FEMOR 4FT Tree Swing Strap) that consists of just one heavy-duty strap with spinning carabiner and hooked both hardware of the swing onto the one carabiner and in one minute the installation was done."
"The comments about lean angle are valid but can be resolved by shortening the seat angle by adjusting the ropes that thread through the swing."
"This swing seems stable enough."

"I love how long the slide is and how the bottom of the slide makes for a smooth landing. She loves it. UPDATE 10/20/14: My daughter is now almost 3 years old and she still absolutely loves this slide. They both love this slide!"
"Its a great slide for beginners and worth the money."
"He and his 97th percentile 5 year old brother LOVE this slide."
"( note works best with sock but take the shoes off ) I have also been transporting it back and forth weekly to our church nursery. It will slightly tip up in the front if a youngster pulls back on the handles while still standing on the floor, but after using it for five months no one kiddo has been able to flip it backward."
"Well, we were four adults trying to figure this out for twenty minutes before one of us (a woman no surprise) ran out to the garage to get the instructions out of the discarded box."
"Handles at the top are perfect addition to help him stay stable while transitioning from stairs to top of slide."
"Not like the thick durable plastic I remember from this company in the '80s. My granddaughter fell backwards, handles in hand, while climbing up the ladder to slide."

"My daughter was asking for one of theses for months."
"Amazing fun for the whole family."
"We have a thick above door frame, so the standard pull up bar does not work in out door frames, but this does!"
"This is a very sturdy indoor playground."
"With 2 toddler twins at home, life is chaotic."
"Best purchase I've ever made."
"My sons played with it for a few hours, and then the piece of metal anchoring it at the top bent and the entire apparatus fell down."

"We love this dome climber."
"I've found that my kids who do gymnastics can work on their flips on it easily, albeit one at a time. It also has these black handgrips that the kids can use to help pull themselves up, but I've found that the bars are really good enough. I've found that I love watching videos of a product because it helps me see what it's actually like better than pictures do."
"I got this for my daughter for Christmas along with this 20ft Play Parachute Kids Children Colorful Outdoor Game Exercise Sport Toy With 16 Handles 20 ft. parachute to throw over the top, so she can use it as a fort."
"I dropped one star only because the matte powder coat (though pretty) makes the surface a little less "grippy" than the versions I've seen in playgrounds."
"I enjoyed putting this thing together. I got two girls, 3 and 6 years old."
"Pros: relatively easy assembly, can be moved around the yard to accommodate mowing needs, bars don't seem to get too hot in the sun, very sturdy. Cons: VERY HEAVY in package... once it was delivered, I tried to move the box (20 weeks pregnant) and quickly realized it would have to stay put until my husband got home."
"Its design is awkward so if you think that you can get inside and help a climbing kid.. think twice."

I think I hung them too wide for the yoga hammock for my size and I think I will get a bar and put a chain through it to connect with carabiners to the Heavy Duty Swing Hangers."
"Product arrived with sturdy, useful swing hangers inside."
"This worked great for my aerial yoga setup."
"We used these to hang a Jungle Gym Kingdom swing and a Little Tykes baby swing from a 4"x6" beam."
"Been using it for a large swing set I put together in the backyard and it's smooth and I feel confident, the structure would collapse before these hangers failed."
"My first set did not include the locking snap hooks, which I purchased the same thing in Stainless Steel from a local Home Depot."
"My husband wanted to buy the ones from the local warehouses again."
"Bought these to use on a swingset that my father is building for my daughter."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The only thing wrong with this toy is that my kids keep fighting over it. The seats are big enough that the older kids sit on them with a little one in front of them."
"The handle bars on one side had too much weld in the way for holes to line up for bolts. Otherwise instructions were easy to follow and I am a woman put together by myself it just took a lot longer than if I would have had help. Overall great toy kids will enjoy endless hours of fun for years to come."
"We also have kept this in the same spot on the lawn and now there is a ring of dirt in place of grass where this spins - when the kids outgrow it we will have our grass back!"
"The kids absolutely love it and it seems to be made of very durable materials."
"But as for that, only time will tell."
"Kids LOVE, LOVE this gift."
"Do protect the seats though from the weather because they are just cloth, and yes the grass underneath will have a circular path worn in it."
"Loved the Teeter Totter - hated the seats."

"We had hours of fun."
"Our whole family loves this game -- 4 kids ages 9-17 plus Mom and Dad."

"So fun and so easy to get the hang of."
"This version doesn't seem as durable as my Zimzam in ground version."
"The tether rope keeps sliding down the pole instead of being secured at the top of the pole."
