  • Hanger brackets are made from galvanised steel and are treated for rust prevention.
  • Ropes are kind to children hands and there are no metal chains or finger pinching to worry about.
  • Will last a lot longer than baby metal swings as the frames will not rust so you can save money in the long run.
  • Harness strap on the swing seat can be adjusted and provides excellent security for your child as they swing.

Main Cons Outlined:

  • If it is for your last child, in time they will grow out of it and it cannot be used in the future so there is limited time use from it.
  • Price when compared to the metal swing sets is a lot higher but then again that it the price needed if you wish to provide the best experience and quality
  • Small level of maintenance work will be needed annually to ensure the wood is fit for purpose be it sealants or a wood stain.
  • Additional skill and work is needed for the installation of the anchors into concrete holes – you may need a handyman on standby if you cannot do this yourself
  • If you child is 2 or over, then you really only have 1 year or less to use it.
  • Minor occasions of some small parts reported missing but generally all the parts are included
