My older children really want a swingset. Their ages are 9-12 and and they are on the smaller side. Do any of you have older kids that use this?

My oldest is 7yrs and approx 60lbs. It's fine for him now, but another 15-20lbs and I may start to be mindful.

I assemble swingsets for a living and Im 165 lb.s, I climb all over it while working and it will support more weight, their site says ages 3 to 10 so I would say it is fine,, if you want a stronger model Gorilla uses thicker wood but you pay more,, mm-assembly.com

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.

I'd recommend the 10-13 yr. old set, the clubs are just an inch shorter than regular clubs. The size and fit is great.

Our child has been playing with this house since she was 1 yr old. I think there is a version with a swing. I would ask the manufacture this question. You should be able to look at the specs online and find the measurements... Then convert them to cm. There are apps online that will do that for you.

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!

Depends on size of childHe will outgrow it pretty fast though, you might want to invest in bigger swing set with slide

you can use the swing up until 15 months my child is not that age but my sister has one and she uses it for her 15 month daughter but not much longer. My son and my niece don't take to the swing well, it is a bit hard and then to put extra patting just make the straps unable to keep your child in. I tried to return it but it was too late.

For standard full-size swing sets (the metal or wood frame sets designed for older kids), manufacturers seem to say 3-6 feet in each direction (so add an additional 6-12 feet to the total footprint to determine the safe space). For this particular swing set, I never saw any recommendations from Little Tikes but you can probably get away with the lower end of the range...we for sure had only 3' to the rear and to one of the ends and it worked out fine. At the age this set is designed for, kids aren't yet swinging very high or wide or jumping off the swings which is when you definitely need to allow for more safe space. But be sure to stake it well into the ground because it will "jump" when 4-5 year olds swing on it. My almost 5 year old has nearly outgrown it.

It depends on the ten year old child. Some are small and of slight build. I suspect most ten year old children will not fit in this swing.

It would be a good addition to other pieces as children of this age love to pile other things on top of other things. Alone it would not be enough. We have had out our set for a while now and they have withstood play from all ages of children.

All three of my kids (120lbs, 90lbs, 50lbs) have been on the swing. The swing supports them very well, it's finding rope/wire/chain that doesn't break after a couple of weeks of crazy swinging. Of course a branch or structure that is strong enough is important too. It's a great swing, they love it!

I have had about 8, 7 year olds on it at once. I have also gotten on it and I weigh 240. I would not use the swings or slide though at my weight.

The anchors work pretty well. There is a little slight movement but not much. I had a 6,7 and 8 year old all swinging at the same time yesterday and it was good. Just make sure you get the set level on both the tower and swing arm and you should be good to go.

We built a regular swing set frame for the swing plus we added another kind of swing on it. It works well and my grandchildren absolutely love tghe swing. They use it constantly to play on or just read a book. It works great!

Mine was for a 7 year old. His older brother did help him set it up and play but I would say more for a younger child.

A 6 year old would probably be at the tail-end of playing with this set. I think their imagination would be going forward to something more interactive for that age. Would probably play with it at first out of curiosity, but don't see it lasting long as approaching 6 1/2 or 7.

my baby boy is 7 months old and we just had to put the fisher price nature's touch swing in the basement and retire it... he's sitting up now and would try to reach up and touch the rotating animals and leaves at the top of the mobile area - he would also use his stomach muscles to tryto pull himself upwards and out of the swing. so i think once your baby is big enough to sit up, then you've outgrown the usefulness of a swing. my son was 17 pounds when we retired his swing and i was getting nervous with him in it (even though he was always strapped in) that something could go wrong...
