---

The following is a list of outdoor toys I recommend for toddlers.

1. Little Tikes 2 -in- 1 Snug ‘n Secure Grow With Me Swing

It’s a baby swing and a toddler swing in one! This swing comes in two colours, blue and green.

The official weight limit listed on this swing:  Max weight 50 lbs

 

Pros 

1. The swing is easy to install.  It only takes a few minutes to assemble it.

2. It’s safe with the plastic latches and t-bar.   The plastic “T” comes up straps go over-the-shoulders and snap into the  plastic “T” to hold your kid safely.

3. You can drop down the T-bar easily to remove your child.

4. The shoulder straps are easy to adjust, depending on height/ weight.  It suits both toddlers and kids up to 4 years old. If your child is old enough who doesn’t require the T-bar or straps, the T-bar moves to the bottom of the swing.  You can store it conveniently.

5. You can easily replace the old swing with this one in one minutes.  Just Slide the metal hooks over where your old swing was.

6. You can control the tilt of the swing easily, so that your little toddlers can sit comfortably although they don’t have enough neck strength.

Cons 

1. It doesn’t come with the eye screws to hang the hooks on.

2. The seat is way too high off the ground.  You have to lift up your kids to get on the seat.  You may need to buy chains or something to bring it down to a lower closer to ground level so three years olds can get on and off.

 

Reminders

1. You can attach this swing to a tree with straps or anchors.

2. You can get replacement straps at this link. 

3.  If you will buy this swing and install into a wooden beam, make sure you get eye screws.

4.  If you hang the seat from a tree branch, it’s better to pair it with a canvas/ nylon swing strap.  Don’t use a chain around the branch directly.

5. The rope is very short.  You have to buy an extra rope.

 

Frequently asked questions

Ans: About 3.5 ft.
