Can you change the swings out? I have a 6 month old and would like to put a baby swing on this set so that he can eventually swing too.

absolutely. we did it on ours for our youngin. there are eyelet screws or something similar that actually go into the main beam. i don't know what the technical term for it it is but the swings that come with this set have sort of a carabiner with a screw closure at the top of the chains that attaches to the eyelet sticking out of the main beam. so you could attached pretty much anything to the eyelets sticking out of the main beam.

Yes it can.. My Grandson ( that I got it for his baby ) sets it on low when swinging.

In theory, yes you could. But it might make him really angry. When they get a little older, they can wriggle out of this with enough determination. We stopped using ours when DS was about 10 months because he was able to roll over while still in it.

Hi Catherine, was wondering if you ended up getting this to hang from a swing set? If so, does it work? I'm looking to put it on a Backyard Adventure playset to replace a bucket swing, not sure if it works...

Not that I know of. Only option is to take seat section off so the baby (when walking) can use the activity center. We are currently in the "almost too big" and "not quite walking" stage. However, my grandson is still quite interested in playing with all the various activities (I am helping him to stand as he plays). Hope this perspective helps!

Hi Tresha - we hung it from an existing swing set. It could also be fastened to a tree limb. We got it for our son's first birthday -- it was a hit! Our little guy is small and I think it will fit him this year, but I would not recommend it for a older toddler.

The swing-set comes with chains. The chains have a "c" hook on the end. You need the hooks or lag bolts to screw into wherever you are hanging it from, so you can attach your chains. I did not, and would not, use springs in any fashion.

I did find the directions on how to modify the battery operated swings to the ac adapter. It definately will not look manufacturer quality, however the money you spend in batteries will be worth it. http://russelldad.blogspot.com/http://russelldad.blogspot.com/2007/09/baby-swing-batteries-be-gone.html

You should go with a baby bucket swing with its own chains and hook them to the clamps on the top bar--the swings that come with the set are secured to their chains with heavy-duty S hooks which would be extremely difficult to open up; however the clamps at the top of the chains open easily.

Yes it can. We used it for a baby swing and kept it in the middle position when we weren't using it.

Hey NYRed, I honestly don't know as I've never tried. It is a very cool toy all on it's own though. I think there is a peice that can be connected to something else once you don't add one peice of the set on. Hopefully that helps.

Yes and we use it exclusively. I highly recommend this swing because the seat detaches and can go with you from room to room. If the baby needs the rocking motion then you can just replace the chair and turn it on. I'm not sure why anyone would think this swing is a waste of money when it is so versatile.

Honestly, I didn't really use it that much. My baby didn't like it as much as I liked it. Lol it's good if you have the space but I would probably just buy a smaller swing. The only reason I bought it because I knew about it back when I was home. I'm from the Philippines and this is how we put our babies to sleep.

Every baby is different. Newborns will be fine in it, but mine did not like being in a swing in general. It has been worth the investment for me personally because after about 3 months, our baby started to like it and we used it a lot. Compared to other swings, it is very affordable and I loved that I could pack it up and take it places.

Yes, you would need to just make another upside down v on the other end then take one side off (can use that wood in project) when assembling the structure. My personal opinion is to by the swings (belt or toddler) and then buy kit later when ready... see those flat almost triangle pieces green on bottom right that is one set for the v... you could use just regular flat steel plates from hardware store. If this kit is on sale for good deal then I would get it. Be prepared to spend close to $900- 1000 on wood alone. But our daughter loves it so much

If you swing it manually, it will go side to side as well. What we do is swing it manually until the baby falls asleep, then switch it to automatic. When it's on auto, it goes front to back only.
