Is it easy to unbuckle to remove the child? My daughter had a different swing she eventually threw away because the buckles were too difficult.

I think its pretty easy for the person taking them out. Not easy enough for them to do it themselves though.

I haven't had any trouble with the buckles on this swing that I have for my 17 month old granddaughter. The only problem I've have is getting her out of the swing because she loves it so much that she doesn't want to stop swinging.

As a grandma with a touch of arthritis I do not find it easy. I believe it was made with young parents in mind and added safety so the child have difficulty undoing it

It's a little tough but it manageable and I have tender fingers!!! :) The swing is very sturdy and actually leans back a bit! The 2 grand kids love it!

It's not as easy as some other seats I've used, with only one tensioner, and simple spring latches. It's definitely more difficult to remove, because there is no easy way to release the tension in the latch harness once it's snugged down.

Very easy. Just take good rope. We used some big snaps to snap into a loop on the rope. I love these swings :)

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

Winds and unwinds. Is securely attached to the reel (knot inside?) - reel appears to be easily removable only by disassembling the ladder base, which requires at least a screwdriver and coordination to do without damaging anything. Not made to be pulled apart by a small child, but hard to break. Solid.

No , I would make sure you had some kind of safety belt attached as they ( babies ) are apt to wiggle ! My daughter was stable and reasoned with enough by the age of 2 but before that I would use a safety belt

Unfortunately the necklace is not easy to latch or remove. This was something that annoyed us about the product, but at least you don't have to worry about the child being able to remove it on her/his own.

My children are tiny 8 and 10 year olds and they are able to buckle and unbuckle themselves. My daughter is FAS impacted with a low IQ and she has no problem with this once we adjusted it to fit her.

yes, my kids were able to buckle/unbuckle themselves once their dexterity level was appropriate :)

Not at all. I have an 8 month old. I agree that you need to keep the buckle clasped for ease of loosening it, but other than that it is easy. It's also easy to adjust the harness strap height as they grow--you don't have to rethread it ever, just slide the whole part up. We love this car seat.

It is so easy. I had to get on a ladder, as my tree limb was so high off the ground. I draped the strap over the branch where I wanted it, then grabbed the end with the hook, fed it through the sewn looped end of the strap and snugged it onto the limb. It was then just a matter of figuring out which link of my swing's chains I wanted to connect to the hooks. I experimented with how high I wanted my swing. So far, they are working great! Amy

yes, you undo the velcrow and lift the canopy back. I could never figure out how to "release it to close it" from the stroller handle, so I just reach down the sides and release "the hooks" so to speak. I would not allow this to discourage you from buying it, it's a great help.

I can totally relate to the 2 yr old MacGyver, but no, mine could not independently get out because the snap is in the back where they can't reach. As long as you have the shoulder straps cinched up adequately then it's pretty wriggle-out proof. =) Hope that helps you!

I'm not 100% sure if the one I just got came w/ the improved buckle but I will say that the buckle is really easy for me to fasten and unfasten. The buckle on my daughter's carrier was a pain in the booty and this one is so easy that I'm in love!

The chains on the Swing N Slide are not covered, however we bought this set for our grandchildren and we have had no problems with pinching. The kids hold the handles to gain momentum. If you hold the chains the swing won't swing straight. All of the other swings on our set are covered because you hold the chains.

They can most likely buckle themselves in but it takes a fair amount of pressing the release button to get the latch off. So buckle most likely unbuckle most likely not.

The straps are very easy to tighten if the seat is not installed. However, after you fasten the seat in the vehicle and the mechanism that snaps down to clamp to the vehicle's seatbelt is in place, then the straps are a little difficult to move. It is easy to make a small adjustment, but for a large adjustment in the strap length it is more difficult. So all that you need to do if you need to make a large adjustment in the strap length is to release the mechanism that clamps to the vehicle seatbelt and then make your adjustment and then put it back and put your child back in the seat to make the final adjustment. This may take 1 or 2 tries when you first install the seat but it is not a big deal. And this seat is so easy to install with the new mechanism that clamps down on the seatbelt that overall it will still save you time and effort to install over a conventional seat, even if you have to unclamp it from the vehicle seatbelt once or twice to make a strap length adjustment.
