Good kit - OK Harness

Fairly good kit. I quickly set up everything I needed and can do myself (about an hour). It would be a little easier if someone helped with the wiring. Unfortunately the small cord to wrap around a tree was too short (5ft) for me so I had to go to Lowe and have a new one made. If you place it at the recommended height for children (I did) there is a risk of decapitation. I have fiberglass stakes that are used to mark driveways during snow removal and to tuck under them when not in use. The included harness is fine, but not ideal (or uncomfortable) for small children, so I bought a full harness (BD Momentum). My 3 year old and most of her friends prefer to swing, but the 1 year old and other very young children use a harness. I also don't like the blue webbing used to attach the harness. It works and is safe, but it's too long and the clips aren't easy to work with. I switched to an old nylon climbing runner with regular climbing carabiners. If I were to do this again I would probably buy the components individually but buying the kit seemed safer/easier and this one worked. The kids love it.

Pros
  • Ideal for a small home
Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
