    My daughter who has sensory issues absolutely loves this. Easy installation. There was a slight rip in the fabric near the zipper when I tried to install the blowup cushion after inflation. I recommend putting the uninflated cushion in prior to blowing it up. Great product.

    Amazing quality and customer service, warranty, etc. Harkla is such an amazing company. I love this and my son does as well. He doesn’t spend as much time as I would like him to in it, but when he does he is very happy.

    This swing was easy to hang and all 3 of my kids love it! It is very calming for my child with special needs and definitely helps her to relax, quiet down and regulate her emotions. We had an issue with the inner cushion not staying inflated, but contacted the company and they sent a replacement quickly. I have recommended this product to my friends and would definitely purchase other items from Harkla again.

    Provides hours of play for all kids and provides calming therapy for kids with sensory needs. This is a great product and a great value. It’s well-made with a lifetime warranty. 7-year old was so excited when it arrived. Couldn’t wait to start using it. When friends come over they all take turns in this swing even though there’s a complete playset available with 3 different swings like you’d find on a playground. Two thumbs up!

    This is a very durable swing. My kids love it!! I was unsure how much weight it would hold but even my larger 11 yr old swings in it and it holds up just fine.
    Only thing I wish was different was the blowup cushion. It would be more comfortable and probably last longer with a foam cushion.

    Perfect for young children! Initially, the blow up cushion that came with it didn’t hold air. However, the company sent a repacement right away, hassle free! I would recommend buying a swivel hook for it so your child can rotate freely while they swing. Great product!

    Installation equipment came included. Unfortunately, our house is old and has plaster ceilings, so had to attach a block of wood to the studs and get longer screws to ensure it would remain stable.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersOur son loves it! That’s an understatement. We used a long slab of wood instead of putting it through the ceiling as well as a swivel so he can also spin around in it a bit. We also only inflated the blow up bag half way (as suggested in other reviews) and bought a cool superman plush pillow to sit on top of it. As shown in the last pic, we added a couple of more wooden pieces for extra support as it was making a creaking sound. No more creaking! He relaxes in it with an extra pillow and blanket while he watches his favorite cartoons. Great investme

    Golden Review Award: 11 From Our UsersI honestly can’t thank my wife enough for ordering this Hanging Swing Chair for my son. Several months ago, my son was diagnosed moderate ASD and it has been increasingly difficult to regulate his sensory needs. The past few weeks, he’s had nasty melt downs out of the blue. It was clear he needed something but unable to communicate so an initial tantrum would escalate into a meltdown.

    There’s a little bit of effort installing the chair into your ceiling but the rest is cake. My wife and I make sure our son gets some chair time when he seems a little flustered and overwhelmed. He sits comfortably and enjoys hugging a blanket. Swings quietly w/ his iPad. Amazing product. It literally saved my marriage.

    My son has been using the swing for half an year or more now. He loves it and plays everyday in it. The Pad is inflatable so it is easy to adjust softness as needed . It has nice space for young kid to sit in even reading a book and calm down during emotion period. The size of swing is not designed for kid weighted 50 pounds or more.

    The seller customer service is awesome . communication as emails are surprisingly quick. Any issues we found like a leak pad have been resolved in a day and gotten a replacement .

    My daughter loves this swing! It’s made of durable fabric and we were able to use the hardware that it came with, unlike some other reviews I read. The air pillow that it came with worked best for us if we didn’t blow it up but about halfway. Otherwise she couldn’t get in the swing. We were happy with the swing and customer service was great!

    My kids love this swing. It is sturdy, and easy to install. I wish it had a piece that would allow it to spin without twisting the fabric, but we can easily buy that separately. All in all, a great purchase for my 2, 7, and 9 year old. Most importantly, the customer service is top notch.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis swing is great! Our oldest kiddo (5 years old) has some sensory issues and LOVES this snug quiet little spot when he needs to decompress. It was really easy to install and such great quality! We added this to our home as our son has one of these at his occupational therapist. Also, we had some questions for Harkla direct, and Casey (the owner) was so accomdatining and very quick to respond. Feels so good to support a well run business and also help my kiddo every day with a calming “getaway” when he needs it. Also, his 2 and half year old bro loves it as a calm swinging spot! Thanks so much HARKLA!

    I purchased this for my son with autism for Christmas. It took us a while to figure out how to securely install it on the ceiling. We ended up using a 6 by 4 piece of wood so the plate will not be outside the stud. My son loves it and requests for swing. The customer service was great. They gave us suggestion on how to install it. They also sent missing pieces free of charge and were very responsive.

    The company provides amazing service from the second you purchase this product! I received several emails regarding installation and even some tips on helping kids w special processing needs (nice touch).
    We have zero handy ability so we had a guy install it, didn’t take him any time at all once he found a beam.
    The swing seems very sturdy and well made, be sure to hang it at a height that your child can get into it.
    My daughter is not a huge fan of it, NOT because of the swing. It is kind of like a “hug” inside, it’s cocoon like in design to give certain feedback to the child. Once we get her in it she likes it ok but it may not be the right type of swing for her. Anyway, thank you for the great service and product!

    Really tough fabric, so I’m not worried about it ripping.
    I’m glad the bolts were included. I think if I had to buy them separately they would have cost $20-30.

    My toddler loves it and he is rough with it and it still works perfectly. I don’t like the blow up pillow in the base, would rather have some sort of cushion instead of a big blow up as it makes it easier to fall out of. I purchased different attachment to connect it to ceiling bracket and it works better.

    Golden Review Award: 24 From Our UsersWell let me start off by saying we have a 7 year old autistic little boy who not only suffers from sensory disorder, and is completely non verbal but is also super hyper-active and suffers from a major sleep disorder. If you are parents or a parent raiding an autistic child similar to ours I highly recommend this product. It sure beats swinging our little guy on the outside swing at 1,2 or 4am. Not only does he enjoy this swing as an activity, but it is also very helpful in calming him dowm when he is having a melt down as well as him being able to cocoon himself inside with a blanket and pillow while being pushed aids in getting him calmed down for bed time instead of increasing his stimulation and adding to his insomnia at night. It is very easy to assemble and install, even though it comes with everything you need to install it I replaced the stock hanger and clevis with a higher weight rating. But that is just a personal prefference due to our sons rough and tumble ways. He is very hard on everthing. We have been using the swing for 3 weeks now and other than it needing to be tossed into the washer for a good cleaning which is very easy to do, it has held up to anything he can through at it. The only reason I gave them a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating is because it was supposed to come complete with a book on Austim sensory aids, and did not. Other than that we highly recommend this product

    Update,
    Product has been in use for about 2 weeks our little guy is getting a whole lot of use and enjoyment from it. Changed my star rating from 4 to 5 because the company was more than prompt at resolving our minor issue about the ASD book which I didn’t understand is a digital download, not only did the respond promptly but were very appreciative of the purchase, rewiew, our input and are sensitive to the needs and situations that the parents, children as well as the special needs child faces. Thanks again for the support and making a product that truly helps us parents do a better job at raising their special little guys!!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersPurchased this swing for my 3 yr old autistic son. Putting the swing up was fairly simple, screws needed did not cost much. All pieces were easy to attach. I will say, there is no lengthening or shortening piece that comes with it. If you attach it as is, it sits 2-3 feet off the ground, so you’ll need to buy an additional chain and rock climbing hook (or something like these items) to make it lower and accessible for your child. (This is why I gave it a 4 star). The inflatable insert, bottom portion, of the swing is comfy. Doesn’t need to be blown up all the way. That makes it uncomfortable for sitting for my little guy, so we have it deflated quite a bit so he can adjust and learn how to sit on it comfortably. Overall, the swing is great. It’s not huge so it doesn’t take up a lot of space. Light weight yet durable and strong. We will be using it quite a bit!
    Customer service was excellent. Prompt response when asking questions. Detailed emails and instructions for setting up the swing. All very thorough!

    Was given a discount in exchange for an honest review.

    My son absolutely loves this hanging chair, and so do his friends! I must admit that I’m now jealous, as it looks comfortable and I wish I had my own adult sized one. Only issue is the inflatable seat inside is like sitting on a balloon. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s not what me & my son prefer. Easy fix, we swapped it out for a regular pillow we already had.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI confess, I am prolific Amazon shopper and I’ve never written a single review before. Years and years of shopping, not one review. Why change now? Harkla customer service! First of all, the swing itself is fantastic. It was simple to assemble and set up, and it’s really sturdy fabric. The biggest issue was figuring out the best location for the swing in the house. It’s being used as a therapy swing for one child and a play swing for two others. They love it! I ended up having a small issue so I contacted customer service, fully expecting to be told I could purchase a part separately. Customer service responded within hours, and let me tell you, they’re not kidding when they say lifetime guarantee! I had a lovely real-time conversation with the rep, and as a result an entirely new swing was immediately shipped out! It arrived just as fast as if I had used Prime. Let’s recap, kids are happy, additional therapy can happen at home now and not just PT sessions, and adults are happy!

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersOur toddler loves his “nest”. As with all toys, etc., he has, my wife does extensive research before purchasing. This chair really helps with his sensory issues and soothes him in the process. He specifically asks to go in his “nest” and look out the window or just rock back and forth with his owls. We did have to prop him with a few pillows, since he seemed to fall in. Rather easy fix and makes it easier to get in and out.

    Installation was pretty straight forward after making a trip to the depot. The chair includes the mounting hardware, minus the lag bolts and rope/chain. I used 1/4″ x 2″ lag bolts (only two). Be sure to locate the studs and attach the mounting base as close to the center of the stud as you can. The last thing you want is for your child to fallout and never want to hangout inside the chair. Both of these are a must; the rope/chain is crucial if you have high ceilings (this particular room is about 10ft high). Take your time and do it right!

    Toddler loves it!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersWe have been searching for this since we found through autism, and sensory disorder groups that these swing chairs really help children with these needs. We bought a single 250lb single-hook with 4ft of chain so we could hang this from a joist in our grandsons bedroom. Make sure to inflate the seat as much as possible, and if they are younger (he is 2), put towels or blankets around the edges of the inflated swing seat so they don’t fall back into the swing so much. When he is frustrated or upset he will climb in and calm down. He also loves swinging and this satisfies the “indoor” swinging requirement since we can’t be outside all of the time. Make sure to get enough chain so you can hang it low enough to the floor that they can learn to climb in by themselves; then as they get taller and older you can raise it higher. I highly recommend this product for its build-quality and sturdiness. I have no doubt this swing will last a long time. I also found the $80 price tag affordable compared to other models at much higher prices. Make sure to use the pump with your foot… using your hand… well that’s just slow and not smart.

    Lastly – buy/use a hook/chain system you are comfortable with having in your ceiling, you don’t need to use the plate that comes with it. Just make sure that whatever you buy has a load weight greater than the load weight of the swing so you don’t risk it falling. Finding the ceiling stud/joist can be challenging with a stud-finder if you have popcorn/unflat ceilings… but stick with it, it will work eventually.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI purchased this chair for my Kindergarten class. I wanted to include it in our classroom “reading corner” instead of the usual bean bags that many other teachers have. The kids seem to love it and it especially seems to be a hit with my special needs students. It was easy to set up since it came with all the hardware. The lifetime guarantee was a selling point for me since I expect this chair to get a lot of wear and tear from student use. However, I’m not sure if I’ll need it because the material it’s made of seems durable but comfortable, and the stitching seems well done.

    I highly recommend this to anyone looking for sensory swing or just a hanging chair for kids. here is my top reasons:

    1. This thing is sturdy. It’s definitely not going to fall down or need re-hanging.
    2. My little cousin loves it.
    3. I came with all the parts I needed. I was expecting to have to run to home depot, but it has everything i needed included in the packing.
    4. Solid customer service. They even followed up via email to ensure I was happy and/or needed any additional support.

    i’m all about it. five stars.
