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!
