• The hanging ropes come with metal hooks.

⚠️ Safety Notes / Warnings

Based on the manufacturer’s instructions and safety documentation:

1. Age & Weight Limit

   • Recommended for ages 9 months to 4 years.

   • Maximum weight limit: 50 lb (23 kg).

   • Only one rider at a time.

2. Restraints / T-bar Use

   • Use the T-bar plus shoulder straps when used by children under ~3 years.

   • Never cross the shoulder straps.

   • When converting for older toddlers (over 3), you must rotate the T-bar underside and re-route the straps through the back of the seat as per manual.

3. Installation & Supervision

   • Adult assembly is required.

   • Always supervise children while they are swinging.

   • Ensure swing is attached to a sturdy support structure that can handle the load plus dynamic forces.

   • Use a soft surface underneath (e.g., wood chips, sand, rubber mulch) — avoid concrete or hard surfaces.

   • Make sure there’s enough clearance (6 ft / ~2 m) from other objects.

4. Strangulation / Wear Hazard

   • Inspect regularly: check the ropes, straps, seat, T-bar, and hooks for wear, fraying, or damage.

   • Do not hang the swing using a stationary hook without a nylon bushing, because a plain metal hook rubbing another metal hook can cause premature wear.

   • When hanging, make sure the swing is level; if the front ropes are uneven, push down on the swing to even them out.

5. Buckle Operation

   • The buckle is intentionally stiff: “Push firmly. Button force is deliberately high to prevent children from opening it.

6. General Use Warnings

   • Do not allow children to stand in the swing.

   • Keep hands and feet clear of moving parts.

   • Store or remove the swing when not in use (especially in bad weather) to prolong its life — metal hooks may rust if exposed to moisture.
