The swing was easy to install and I did not need extra tools or help. Unfortunately the tree branch was not exactly horizontal and so it was difficult to make the swing horizontal. It was even enough, however, and I put my daughter in. The swing was tilting a little far forward but I could not adjust it. The worst part was getting her out. The tray was near IMPOSSIBLE to undo from its locked position. I guess I did not need to worry about her falling out, I was just wondering if I would be able to get her out at all. I’ll be donating the swing.

I was so excited to get my one year old a swing, and this was just such a disappointment. It’s meant to hang from a tree branch or pre-existing swing set, which isn’t mentioned anywhere in the description. We were going to put eye-hooks in our porch roof, but it actually recommends against using the hooks (or even really the swing set for that matter), due to the potential for creating metal shavings. Considering how many swing sets are metal on metal, it makes me think it must be some awfully cheap not very sturdy metal that they use. Second, we tried roping it around a sturdy part of the trellis since we don’t have any trees in the desert, and it hung about 5 feet off the ground. Much too high for comfort. Then, to make matters MORE annoying, it didn’t matter what we did, it would not level out. We tried adjusting the ropes behind the seat like the directions said, and they never budged. Great I supposed for peace of mind once it’s installed properly, but no amount of pushing, pulling, or maneuvering was going to get those things to move. So, it’s since been pulled back down, and will be returned as soon as the holidays are done. What a horrible disappointment.

Also note, if you so much as glance at this, you’ll realize that it is NOT a dual restraint system – the tray is just a tray, easily removable, and will NOT keep your child in the swing.
