Is there a weight limit on this swing? I'm thinking about getting it for my Nephews and Nieces to have fun with at my house but they range in age from 8 to 17 and are varying weights. I've seen several others but the weight limit is like 100lbs and most of them are over that. I want them all to be able to use it if possible. Anyone know the weight limit on this one?

I would worry about what the swing is hanging on (how strong is that branch?) The nylon rope is not thinand flimsy. The plastic seat is very strong, but it's hard plastic and I weighed 160 when I tried it out. Besides not being very comfortable on an flabby old butt with more hanging off than on, it wasn't apretty sight.

I'm not sure what the official manufacturer (lawyer approved) specs for the swing might be. That aside, the swing itself is made of hard plastic. It's fairly robust. It should support 100++ pounds easily. The limiting factor is the strength of the rope tether. The supplied rope might not support a larger kid, but I'm sure you can buy something just right at a boating, camping store, or hardware store. Word of warning - those ropes can be pricey.

Um. It says 100 pounds. Having said that, when I put one up for my kids, I tested it to make sure that the branch would hold. I'm 6' 5" and weigh 200 pounds. I periodically retest it and haven't had an issue so far.

It is an awesome swing! Two adults can fit on it comfortably so maybe 3 kids can fit. We hung it from a zip line between two trees and it is working great. I think a larger tree could hold the swing but it is larger. We highly reccommend it! My three boys have really been enjoying it.

I'm pretty large 300+ lbs and I've used the swings and been in the fort. Haven't went down the slide. I believe the slide says 150 lbs but I've had friends closer to 200 lbs go down it.

Yes - weight limit 250 lbs? Need to double check that. A fav in our house! Our guests always love the swing too.

I agree with many others. With my first child, the swing stopped reliably working around 16lbs. It would slow down and stop if his weight was at all unbalanced in the swing, so we packed it up. We now have a 13lb. baby and I'm already seeing it stop sometimes. I can usually restart it by turning it off and then back on again, but I think it highly unlikely that a baby over 20lbs. could use it for long!

Swing can be used until 36 months old. Weight limit is 25 kg. Don't have the conversion to lbs.

I am sorry I do not remember the weight limit. I know it is made stronger and is wider than the one that came with our big swing set. I only got it to have 2 when both or granddaughters are here they both want one at the same time. Sorry I can't give the weight though.

I believe the weight limit is 150 pounds and therefore not recommended for adults. We have 2 children (3 and 5) who fit in it well, but it would be too cumbersome for children above 10 and certainly for adults. For us, it will be perfect for the next 4 - 5 years at least (we also have a 6 month old daughter), so at the cost, it's a great value. I hope that helps in your purchasing decision.

We have had someone who weighs about 250 lbs. on it with no issues. It is stated to hold up to 300 lbs. It is a fun swing and we use it often!!

I believe the swing pictured has a weight capacity of 300-400 lbs. I have this swing and know for a fact that it would not hold 700 lbs.

I bought several of these for my kids, nieces and nephews. At least for me, we got them for much smaller people than what you're asking.. the oldest child was 7 years old. For the older kids - the 9-11 year olds. I got a larger version. These older kids are probably all less than 100 pounds and shorter than 5 ft. I used the larger one and felt comfortable with it - I'm 5'9" and much more than 100 pounds. The Lil Sioux was managed well by kids ages 3-7, and roughly 30-50 pounds in size, definitely under 5 ft, probably closer to 3-4 ft in height. You might want to look at guidelines on choosing a size for your height and weight needs; you could ask a Pro shop or just search on-line for tips.

My ten month old Grandaughter loves the swing! I have been using it since she was six months old. Large enough that she will continue to fit in as she gets older - my estimation until she is three or four depending on her size. She is 23 pounds right now.

This swing can fit kids in a range of sizes...my 19 month old (30 pounds) will lay on his tummy to swing...my 3 1/2 year old loves to swing on it(54 pounds) and my 8 year old (70 pounds) swings on it too. The 8 year has to be told not to swing too high. So if the child can do a regular sit swing they will be able to do this one. This system is very versatile and you can come up with other things to swing with like a hammock or infant swing if needed. Let me know if you have other questions.

It is best for younger children ages 2 - 6. My daughter is 4 and fits it perfectly, but she has a 7 year old cousin that's getting too big for it. The weight restriction is 100 lbs on the bar and 75lbs on the swing, but unless you have a really wide doorway, a 7 or 8 year old will start getting too wide to fit without hitting his/her elbows even before they hit the weight restriction. As a side note though my daughter LOVES it and it has been worth every penny!

I don't remember the weight limit - I bought it for my great grandson and he didn't get to use it too long because I waited until he was about 8 or 9 months old and he was almost too tall for it when I got it but it was so cute and my granddaughter has given it to a friend of hers and hopefully they can get a lot of good out of it. I'm thinking the weight limit was 25 lbs but not sure. The height was our problem.

Yes, I think it is ok for a child of that range. My nephews are within that range and they have used it comfortably. The weigh, I am not exactly sure of, but it is on the light side, like I would say 4 lbs or less, my estimate.
