USING SINCE JUNE AND IT IS ALREADY TEARING APART

Loved this at first. We mounted it to a swing-set for my special needs son. It looked like it was made well.

we have only used it for about 5 months and the black mesh material is already forming a rip like it is trying to dry rot. No one has abused this swing or cut it. It has not endured extreme weather conditions. For one hundred plus dollars I expected a few summers out of it before it started breaking apart. We had a saucer swing that came with the set made of similar material that lasted years. Not sure if there is a warranty with the swing I will try to contact HearthSong. Extremely disappointed with this item.

Thrilling, but POOR DURABILITY
by Erica Faith (3 out of 5 stars)

I purchased the SkyCurve in 2016 at the beginning of summer. It was very easy to assemble (put together by 1 adult in about 10 minutes). It swing straight and high on our Rainbow playset monkey bars. The kids absolutely loved it and never grew tired of the thrill and sensation of butterflies in their tummies. Oftentimes 4 or more neighborhood kids would pile on (never more than 300lbs combined) and the air would be filled with hearty belly laughs. Unfortunately, the black mesh fabric began to rip away from the blue fabric after only 5 months and we immediately discontinued use and threw it out. The blue fabric also faded considerably during this short time.

Because it only lasted 1 season, I decided not to re-purchase the SkyCurve for the summer of 2017, opting instead for the highly rated and less expensive round Web Riderz Outdoor Swing N' Spin- Safety rated to 600 lb, 39 inch diameter, Adjustable hanging ropes, Ready to hang and enjoy as a family
. We are not nearly as satisfied with the Web Riderz swing. While it seems almost indestructible and has a higher weight limit, the round surface area is smaller, fitting only about 2-3 kids comfortably. Also, I have not been able to align it perfectly to swing as straight or as high as the SkyCurve did. The kids also prefer the smooth mesh surface of the SkyCurve over the bumpy ropes of the WebRiderz swing, and it rarely gets used.

Here we are in the spring of 2018 and I'm considering purchasing another SkyCurve. So far the high price-point for the short lifespan is holding me back...but perhaps it's worth the hours of fun to be had...but what a shame to junk a SkyCurve to the landfill at the end of every summer...swing dilemmas...

Great sensory swing!
by Honest Reviewer (5 out of 5 stars)

We love it! Yes, our swing is black, but that's because I spray painted the blue fabric to blend in with our natural back yard. I first hung this in the place of our regular tree swing, but it made everyone feel sea sick. The distance from ground to tree branch is about 30+ feet, so the swing didn't swing only back and forth, but all kinds of ways. It was awful. I ended up hanging it from the monkey bars of my daughter's outdoor play set. I ended up cutting the rope to give me 4 ropes to hang for more stability and to ensure it only swings back and forth. It is very awesome and stable hung this way! Everyone loves this swing, and it is especially favored by my daughter with ASD. She requires down time after a long day at school, and on this swing is where you will find her relaxing and unwinding every day. I use it for a great ab workout...keep it swinging with crunches. Hard to explain, just try it, and you'll figure it out!

We loved it at first
by Kristina (2 out of 5 stars)

We loved it at first. I would have given it five stars, the kids have enjoyed it so much..... but.... the area where the child's feet is in the picture has ripped completely off. I am very disappointed. It was a month before I got it up after purchasing so it has only been used a couple months. Very very disappointed with the quality. I have yet to get a response from my email to Hearthsong. Very disappointed.

Blue fabric is the weak link.
by Kim McBreen (4 out of 5 stars)

Love the product, with one exception.

Kids have enjoyed it immensely. One of their favorite things in our yard to play on. The blue fabric is the weak link and has lost all its strength and is literally falling apart. The Center black trampoline fabric continues to hold strong. The blue fabric seems to be more like something that would be used on outdoor patio furniture. Maybe this is the planned obsolescence feature- planned failure point. The frame and ropes are still good.

Kids so disappointed!!
by Victor Yapuncich (2 out of 5 stars)

We purchased this swing not quite one year ago and the grandkids have loved it. We loved the fact that they could share the experience together. However, the fabric has faded and now ripped. I would be happy to replace the fabric intermittently but it does not appear that there is that option. I will not reorder the entire swing knowing that the rest of the swing which is perfectly fine will be thrown out.

Not just for kids

I have always had a love of swings.

The SkyCurve Platform Swing by Hearthsong is the best ever. We have hung it from a tall tree branch, with a 10' harness extension. It feels like you are gently flloating. Perfect place to read a book and relax. Love it!

Swings are not just for kids, but I am certain they will be as enthusiastic.

Looks nice. Concerned about durability. Dont underestimate how hard this is to assemble.

We had one of those 60" round swings. We're on our 3rd year with it and its still in good shape. But Wife and Daughter saw this and wanted it. I spent the morning putting rock sliders on my Jeep. I figured this thing would be a snap. Ugh, was I wrong. You can basically get 3 sides put together without too much trouble. But when it comes to that last corner and the instructions say "invite someone to help you stretch the frame while you assemble the final corner". I hope you can find Andre the Giant and The Rock over to help you spread this thing. I ended up doing it by my self by putting philips head screw drivers in the holes, and levering the edges together until it was close. Then I put the bolts in and snugged it down till it was finished.

I'm keeping my old round swing for when this thing falls apart. Its going to sit outside all year (florida), so its going to get wet. If its not really built for rain and sun, then maybe I'll get two seasons out of it.

Maybe better for bigger kids
by Jillagig (3 out of 5 stars)

I like the swing but my kids are only so-so about it and I think it has to do with the lack of hand holds on it and that they are small (5 and 2 yrs) they don't feel that secure when swinging and won't let me swing it hardly at all. I'm thinking about adding rope on the edges that they can grasp to get more of a secure feeling. Or, might buy a different swing with a rope base to it so they have a spot to dig their feet into to secure themselves and save this for when they are older. Its fun for me to lie on though with them it's a bit like a hammock that way.

Amazing swing for kids/adults of all ages!
by A. Carter (5 out of 5 stars)

This swing has been a huge hit for children and adults! We kept it out almost all of last summer attached to our swing set, and it held up very well. It is a strong swing, and I originally purchased it as a gift for my son with autism, however, everyone in the family loves it. We have also had play dates with kiddos on the spectrum and/or with special needs, and it's a huge hit for all of the sensory-seeking kids I know. It's large enough for a medium adult and child to swing together. We have fun laying on it relaxing or sitting up with a group. I highly recommend this swing as a great addition to your play scape.
