HedstromHedstrom Single Play Swing - Robust Steel Construction, Chunky Blow-Moulded Seat, Powder-Coated Frame - Suitable for Ages 3-10 - Outdoor Garden Toy for Boys and Girls - Ground Pegs Included

My granddaughter has just discovered she does actually love swings so I looked for one for her garden, saw this one and ordered it and I am so glad I did.The swing arrived less than 24 hours after ordering it and my son put it together quite quickly and we are really impressed with the stacks that are supplied with it that actually anchors it to the ground, these stacks are nothing like the old style metal pins, I wish we had a photo to show these stacks but they really do anchor this swing to the ground making the swing extremely safe for my granddaughter to use, she is 21/2 and although she isn't big enough yet to get herself on the seat she lays over the seat and swings herself that way until someone comes to put her on the seat, the higher she goes the more she loves it and the frame does not move. It only took her one push to learn how to get her balance on the seat which was amazing and she is already learning how to propel herself.This swing should last her for a very long time as it is well made and sturdy, the ropes and seat can be put away for the winter to extend their life but can be easily put back on if there is a nice day. The swing itself is not massive so is suitable for most garden sizes.If you have been looking for a garden swing I would definitely recommend this one, I know my granddaughter is going to get many many hours of fun and it will last a for many years.

So we needed a swing for our 6 yr old daughter and, after a lot of shop visits and Internet browsing, we decided upon the Hedstrom single swing. Amazon were cheapest but we had to go elsewhere to get product info. Hedstrom claim it is suitable for 3-10 year olds and I would agree that 10+ is really asking too much of it.Easily assembled (circa 20 mins with the allen key included), we then set about positioning it on the lawn. First point, like all swings, it needs to be firmly secured. Recommended is the use of of concrete if necessary to secure each short 'ground peg' that is secured to and angled out from the bottoms of the tubular powder coated steel legs. We hammered the arms into the ground and, after considerable testing for peace of mind, we were satisfied that the movement of the arms was minimal and it was safe for the children to use it.Some months later after a hard Summer's use, the swing is still intact and it remains firmly secure.the bright orange chunky moulded seat and adjustable ropes have stood up to the abuse that only 6 year olds seem capable of dreaming up! A firm favourite with our daughter and her friends, the Hedstrom is competitively priced, appears as well made as comparable units and is, to date, durable I think we have got our money's worth!I would just caution anyone buying a swing of whatever type to ensure that they fully understand in advance what may be required to achieve a secure fixing into the ground and safe use!A 4/5 simply because the securing of the ground pegs in the ground was a little prolonged as trial and error more than practical advice informed us best how to achieve the best result.Other than that, great value for money and my daughter reckons it is a winner!

I needed a strong swing for my 5 years daughter and this product has ticked all the points I needed. Sturdy, easy assembly, compact and well anchored to the garden thanks to included anchors. Brilliant, I really recommend it.

Got for my girl's birthday and she liked it. Comes with 'stakes' that you attach to legs and they dig in the ground diagonally to keep it in place. They work well and it's still sturdy 6 months later. I'm assuming it'll get loose over time as anything would but it'll just be a case of re staking it. Happy with it and was good value.

Easy to assemble

We assembled it today and seems sturdy and strong if you secure it properly to the ground.Our daughter is 13 months so we had to get a separate toddler seat for her but wasn't a problem. We paid 20£ extra for the seat.The swing for the price so far not bad.Let's see how it will react for bigger kids.
