I'm torn between this and a swing that twists. The kids like twisting, can this twist around?

While you could make it twist, this is not the best swing to choose for that purpose, The platform is large making it more difficult to twist.

This platform swing is an updated version of the old fashion tire swing. It can be spun, stood on, sat on, just like the old tire swings when I was a kid. The bonus of this swing is that it accommodates more than one child.

I bought this swing for my granddaughters and they love it! Where we hung it it isn't possible to twist it. I think you could do it if it was hung on very long ropes.

We bought this for our grandson who is 2 1/2 so we don't want him to twist just yet. His little sister (13 months) also likes to swing on it (lying down). I do think the swing could be hung with the ropes close together so that it could twist. It is very sturdy and we are very happy with it.

We hung it from a really high branch and we also put a swivel just above the hooks. It does spin round and round both from the swivel and the rope turning. My two granddaughters love the way it swings high and spins. They say "let's do the spinnerroper Gran!" LOL! It was the best Christmas gift they got.

No, it is just a swing. At first I questioned that also, but found it is a soft bodied infant swing.

This is not as easy to fold as other portable swings. Rather than folding what you actually do is take it apart. So you are having to assemble and disassemble which is not very easy. Other than that it is a great swing.

I'm sorry I can't help you with this. I have only used it for an adult swing. I might mention, tho, that it can be somewhat unstable if you swing vigorously.

Yes ZX, it does twist a little; At first it was really anoying, then, I kind of got use to it, and now it actually fells good beacurse it gives you some sore of flexibility at moving.

I use it less than my swing, but I think it depends on your baby's preference. My first preferred this over the swing. However, my second prefers the swing over this.

No I will not break with just a few swings. It seems to be made well and it is really cool. I would buy it again.

It seems extremely strong. The swing and the rope are both intertwined. .. I'm not sure if this answers your question or not?

You could turn it around but there are not holes on the other side to change the 'lock'. Depending on the age of the kids using it, that might pose a problem.

I believe that looping over and latching should work in your case. By the way, the swing is very sturdy.

Oh,yes but it will be harder to get it swinging---my granddaughters enjoy using it for a hammock!

I wouldn't use it as a substitute for a swing. My advice is that a battery operated swing is a worthwhile investment. Fisher Price papasan cradle swing is a great one!

I think it is safer. The weight bars are not meant for swinging. Plus the rings are easy for changing different swings. I think it was the best investment I purchased for my sensory seeker child!

I think it would depend on the child's height. Some of the attachments may be too short. (Particularly the rope and rings) The swing should be okay though.

None at all, unless balance is an issue for you now I wouldn't be to worried. If the right side was high on a side walk and left side was low on the street, I guess there is a possibility of flipping but all in all, flipping is something I would hold me back from at least trying it out. It seemed very stable to us. My two year old was playing on it. And if she can't flip it over I'd like to meet the person who can because she's the roughest toughest girl I know

That's true but the ropes are pretty long and unless the swing set was way above the ground, it would not work too well. Ours is in a tree and the grandkids were thrilled with it when they came for Thanksgiving and gave it a great workout...very sturdily made.
