My daughter is nine months old and difficult to entertain for any length of time. We bought this swing on a whim and it has turned out to be her favorite “toy”. We can spend an hour swinging and singing in the back yard and we don’t notice the time has passed. One note, we had to purchase extra rope to hang this swing at the proper level.

I’ve bought this swing twice now, both times as a birthday gift for a one-year old niece/nephew. The kids are crazy about this swing–once they go in, they never want to get out! The swing is made from sturdy plastic that is molded into one piece; it’s very easy to lift a child in and out of it, and there is an attached belt for safety. The swing nicely accomodates a one-year old child but slightly younger and a bit older would probably work too (the instructions indicate it holds up to 30 pounds). One minor issue is that you might need to obtain extra rope/chain in order to hang the swing properly–and you may have some trouble getting it straight–but overall, this a great gift that kids really enjoy.
