How does the swing attach? I am wondering if I can use swings we already have.

Ours is attached to an indoor support bar that hangs in a doorway. We bought it from Amazon and it is manufactured by the playaway toy company. The hooks on the trapeze bar and swing attach to metal rings that are on the support bar.

The support bar has two large metal O rings. The Playaway attachments use pelican hooks to quickly and easily hook into the O rings. If your current swings have S hooks or another type of open hook, there's a good chance the bar will work for you. To see a better view of the bar and how the O rings are used, hover your mouse over the picture. This should provide a close up of the support bar and O rings.

The swing attaches by a sort of "s" shape hookI know that we couldn't use swings we already have too, they were not compatible.

It doesn't come with the swing. However if you search around you can find a reasonablely priced swing to attach to it. I highly reccomend www.adamandeve.com they have one that has the ability to spin which enables you to have a lot more control

Suzanne, The swing does come with chains that can be removed without a problem and your rope can be attached to the ring that the chain hooked onto. I apologize for not getting back to you as I have been on vacation. Go for it is a good deal.Peter

Just like said before, It comes with the hardware to attached to an existing swing set, except for the wood. You will need two 2" x4" x20" pieces of pressure treated wood.

We have it hung from an old metal kids swing set A frame, same as our last swing, and it works well. We have eye bolts and S hooks, then the springs and chain from the builder. Love it.

I received my swing seats with the chain not connected to the seats. They did supply me with two locking screw rings. So I guess you can connect yours seats to what ever you want. The seats are very durable so far with my 5yr old grand kids.

There is no rope with this swing. It has a large O-ring at the top that you attached a chain or cable to. We hung ours from a branch about 20 ft high. We attached a nylon strap ( bought through Amazon just for tree swings ) around the branch. We used a coated cable purchased at a hardware store for the "rope" and put a small length of chain at the end so we could adjust the height as the kids grew. We also purchased the Black Diamond swivel and carabiner clip as well. This allowed the swing to spin and the clip what attaches it all to the o-ring at the top of the swing. Enjoy ! Everyone that comes to our house, grown as well, can't stay off of it !! There is no rope with this swing. It has a large O-ring at the top that you attached a chain or cable to.

Yes, I used a tree, but you can just knot the rope around the top bar of a swing set.

We hung ours to an existing wooden swing set. It comes with two snap hook connectors that connects the two black ropes together on each side. We had to add chains to each side to lower the swing down, because the black ropes aren't long enough to hang from the frame on our swing set. That might be the only thing you have to add. Hope this helps!

You should be able to use the original hooks (most swings use 'eyes'). If you have to attach to eyes, and don't have the right hardware, a chain repair link or heavy carabineer will work just fine. Our granddaughter loves this swing. It took her a while to figure out how to make it go, but once she did she's flying almost every day. She's much safer on it than an open seat swing.

The swing comes with chains. Any extra would have to be purchased at a local hardware store.

We've had no problem with swinging. Ours is attached to the wall and included a lock. I imagine if it was in a place that it could be bumped it would swing, but ours seem very secure.

Hi...I too had worries. The swing itself is made from parachute material, and there for very sturdy. Just make sure you have a sturdy 4x4 beam and the 300 lb construction grade eye hooks from lowes.....loving it so much that we plan to put 3 beams (similar to an outdoor swing frame)with the 2 'legs' buried in the ground in the garden. For fresh air AND a workout!

Hi, the swing and rope are pretty heavy. You would need to hang it from a stud in the ceiling or a support beam of similar. I would not recommend trying to hang this particular swing anyplace inside- ot outside from a sturdy tree branch. Sorry.

Good morning, momof2girls. You could use this as an attachement to the swingset with adding additional clips to join the item. Thank you, Sarah W. | HearthSong Customer Service

Yes, I use the swing with my child. It is very sturdy as long as it is installed correctly!
