Does this swing move in a large circle? Do I need a wide ground area for it's use?

Good evening. This swing moves in all directions and a wide ground area is recommend for use with this product. Toni L. ~Hearthsong Customer Service

It can and it also swings back and forth - I would have a wide area for it.

No- we love this swing but not for its portability. When we traveled with it, we took the bottom half of the legs off and detached the swing so that it was three pieces. It still took up a LOT of room in our Subaru Forester.

Yes. I bought this swing and within a month it started coming apart at the seams. I would not purchase

it extends 50 inches (fully extended) I've got mine in a corner, but it should swing the full 90. (it can't go 180 because it is mounted to the wall thus cannot make a perfect circle around it's self) You'll be happy with the swing.

There is a loop attached to the frame with a big bolt on top. The swing attaches with a hook that is tied to the nylon ropes of the swing. It does not swivel; the two metal pieces(the loop and hook) slid on each other. It takes awhile to get the height that you want for the swing, and you have to be careful that you gradually sit on it to tighten the knots in the nylon rope.

It's big, but you really need to hit it straight or a little bit to either side of the center. It will not catch a serious slice. I stand back about 5 to 6 feet.

I placed my 2 large eye bolts about 3" out from straight vertical over the arms. That minimized the left/right movement of the swing. It's worked fine for me.

Yes, the long rod will allow it to swing a little bit but I imagine if you reduce the size of the rod it would be even more stable. We have these over our kitchen island at their full length and have had no problems. I love them and highly recommend them!

It can droop up and down (towards the floor and towards the sky) fairly far but there is little to no lateral movement (it will move a little but then goes back to straight). Not going to do any kind of "S" shape either.

The surface is a tad slippery, and the easel we have on it slides with the slightest bit if pressure. I'd be concerned about an infant swing set moving around.

Absolutely not....it is very heavy built. It will take 2 strong people just to Hang the swing on the frame. This by far is the best built swing I have ever Purchased. Very pleased as we live on a lake and experience high winds often. Very comfy too !

It's not convenient to move. It is awkward. But the two legs do go together. We move it about 2-3 times a week. Usually for dinner or if we have company we will move it to the dinning room. I still love this swing. My daughter still loves it. It's the only way she will take a nap not being in my arms. I would buy this product again and I would 100% recommend this swing to a friend.

You definately want to anchor this to the ground. It comes with 4 long U shaped spikes and straps that secure it to the ground. If the child swings to hard it will come up on the pavement. We built ours on the concrete patio and I tried it for sturdiness before moving it onto the mulch of the playground, it definately slides and the small end (without the house) will rock back and forth. Even now when I swing next to my son (he's one, and in the baby swing and I'm about 115 pounds) it moves a little bit and it's anchored in really good. This wouldn't deter me from buying it again since it isn't made for bigger kids (or me...)

Probably not. If they stand and sway, it moves easy. My grandchildren have never really tried swinging on it "normally", for they love to lie on it and spin, or stand and swing.

It has more of an infinite movement. Nothing to lock it in to say it's perfectly horizontal or vertical since the ground you are set on may not be level to begin with.

This is a great swing, and I think you would like it. As you would have to move your hangers in seven inches on each side, might not be a bad idea to just make sure your swing frame can handle this.

Its a cloth swing same size as a park swing. Would depend on how sturdy it is in your home.
