HAPPY PIE PLAY&ADVENTURE HappyPie Frog Folding Hanging Pod Swing Seat Indoor and Outdoor Hammock for Children to Adult (Blue)

Honestly, the thought of installing this was scary. I'm a single mom and I'm not exactly "handy," which is not a good combo. I've been teaching myself stuff little by little. The other week, I may or may have not gone 'Hulk' on a desk from Wal-Mart I was trying to put together. I didn't have much faith in myself for this swing, but had to try.I decided to write a detailed review so that other less mechanically savvy people may enjoy this product without the fear I had. The product itself has no instructions or installation tools. None at all. It's like they ship you this cute swing and say "LOLZ have fun." Luckily, a nice person answered my question about how to install this thing, which you can read right above the reviews. It helped fuel my research and decide what installation products to buy.The swing itself is nice, solid material. It's not cheap or flimsy and doesn't seem to have a smell or anything. It comes in three pieces--the swing itself, an inflatable pillow, and a hand pump to pump up the pillow. If you have a foot pump or another better pump, use that instead. This hand pump will take you like 20 full minutes to blow up the little pillow. I didn't realize that until I was like half done and realized I had a foot pump in the laundry room. But, at least they included one! It's better than nothing. Also, make sure you insert the pillow into the zippered pouch BEFORE you inflate it. Otherwise you're gonna have a bad time.I bought a power drill, a $9 magnetic stud finder, this hardware  WOSS Stainless Steel Oblong Eye Pad Anchor Mount with Carabiner - 600 pound working weight. , and a package of drill bits to create something called a pilot hole, which I learned is a hole you make in the ceiling or wall before you make the real hole. Okay then. A lot of people will already have most of these supplies on hand.After watching a YouTube video on how to install the drill bit into the drill (LOL), I found a stud in my living room ceiling approximately where I wanted the swing, and I drilled the pilot holes. Unfortunately, the hardware that I got has TWO screws, so it was difficult for me to arrange the holes both evenly and in the studs. I'm pretty sure one of the holes isn't even in a stud, but it seems to be holding up fine. Then, with my savvy new skills, I switched the drill bit over to the piece included with the hardware kit, and I used my fancy new drill to secure it into the ceiling. I yanked on it a few times to make sure I didn't make a critical (read: fatal and expensive) error, and it seemed strong. Then, I simply hung the swing up using the carabiner.If your ceilings aren't very low to the ground, you'll find that the swing only goes like halfway down to the floor. My daughter has been climbing onto the ottoman and monkey flinging herself into the swing. I just found out today that HappyPie sells an extender for $4.99 + $3.99 S&H (on sale). I went ahead and snagged one today.The swing is a huge hit. It's already been made into a clubhouse and her own personal amusement park. She loves twisting it as tight as it'll go, and then jumping in and letting it unwind really fast while she screams with glee and I wonder how long it would take to get to the emergency room. The swing doesn't seem at all compromised by her shenanigans. Also, the purple and pink are super cute. I've been posting pics and videos and some friends have mentioned they need to get one for their kids, too.

I bought this for my daughters 8th birthday. We hung it in her bedroom. 2 years later and it’s still hanging and in great condition. My daughter loves sitting in it to watch tv or read. It is not overly big so I can’t imagine it being that comfortable but she doesn’t seem to mind. It came with an inflatable insert for a seat cushion. I replaced it with a pillow instead. Improvements could be made in the size and cushion insert, but Overall it has held up nicely and my daughter loves it

oh my. I cannot say enough good things about the customer service. The shipping was fine, a bit longer than prime, but came in good condition. one of the straps started fraying, so I took chance and emailed the company. Our cushion also must have a hole ( normal use and no jumping, and I anticipated the cushion would not last forever). So I even asked if I could buy a new cushion. I really did not expect any reply and if there was, was not sure what kind of reply I would get. Well, to my surprise, the company contacted me right away, asked for a picture and order number and sent me a replacement chair AND a cushion free of charge. My kids love the chair (age 15 years, 13 years and 10) and still meet the weight requirement and are NOT hard on the chair. We are so pleased with the chair and the customer service. Thank you HappyPie Frog!

I wanted to buy Ikea's EKORRE swing but it was way expensive than this one. My wife found this product and we decided to try it. After installing one swing set, my wife and my kids love it. Because we have two kids my wife ordered one more.My kids' friend has Ikea swing. It is hung on two hooks. Because of that, it is not rotating. Kids twisted the swing and release it, then the swing rotates fast. Although kids like rotating swing fast, from the parent perspective it looks dangerous. One of this product's features that I like is free rotation. So kids cannot rotate the swing fast.Another thing that I like this one over ikea swing is the variety of colors.One thing to note is the installation of expansion bolt. It is my first time to use the expansion bolt. I googled it and watched many related youtube videos. But I was not sure if it could be fixed to a joist firmly. I tried to install the expansion bolt. At first it seems okay. But when I sit on the swing, the swing falls. It could be either the expansion bolt is not good or I made a mistake. I don't blame the expansion bolt. There might be many parents who haven't used expansion bolts like me. So I recommend you to buy Ikea's EKORRE hook from you local Ikea. It is $3 and can be fixed using normal screws.Kids love this swing. They even sit there while watching TV.Pros:- Cheaper than Ikea's EKORRE swing- Looks similar to Ikea's swing- More color options- Easy to install- Free rotationCons:- Included expansion bolt is not fixed firmly to the joist.

We bought two of these. The actual swing is great and is still holding up 1+ month later except for the blow up cushion. On blue swing lasted only a week. The pink one last about 3 weeks. Be nice if they would replace the cushion part or give a discount on them. Only gave it a 3 instead of 5 because of the cushion problem. We stuffed one swing with a cushion but not the same according to my 5 year old, "more droopy now".

Très robuste

Great swing! The blue is nice and vibrant, it was fairly easy to mount. It was a little difficult figuring out how far apart the ceiling brackets were supposed to be, but we just held open the swing, measured, and spaced them accordingly and it hangs perfect. Very sturdy, when mounted into the floor joists, my husband tested it (165lbs) and we weren’t worried about it coming down. My only complaint is the type of fabric it’s made out of collects dog hair easily, which can happen with any type of fabric to be honest. My 4 year old son (35lbs) uses it as his “calm down” space, and my 8 year old stepdaughter (48lbs) uses it as her reading space. I wouldn’t suggest bouncing around or jumping on it, just as additional safety. Swings well. I’ll update on the progress of the swing if anything changes.

We previously purchased the blue and purple version of this for my other daughters 6th birthday in May. It was perfect! Came with a pump, super long straps so she could easily get in to the swing herself.Decided her little sister would love one for her 4th birthday. Ordered the pink and cream version. It came without the pump for the inflatable cushion and the straps are about an 8th of the length of the other swing. It’s far too high! Very disappointed!

So easy to assemble my 8 year old did it! Excellent quality and value. All of my kids love it and 2 can fit in at once! Item recieved was exactly as pictured and has been down right abused by my kids all summer and still hasn't frayed or deflated so I'm very impressed as we bought this to replace an old IKEA one and this is bigger and better! Company went above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction which is rare these days. Highly recommend!
