This swing seat replacing a typical plastic swing seats with us. This had become brittle after 5 years and torn. The swing seat comes with expresses confidence-inspiring plastic ropes. We consciously decided against the variant with chains, because our boys the swing often over the crossbar throw (made of painted steel tube), the short term to reduce the pitches - they do not already do with the aid of eyelets alone. With chains because the steel rod would quickly "looked old". The swing stinks in fact out of the box well after the typical tire-rubber smell. Since the swing is mounted in the garden, which is for us but not a major argument against the swing. Important for us were the criteria durability, weather resistance and it should be at the special request of our 4-year-old son a "heavy rocking". All these features meets the swing perfectly. Unfortunately, the swing did not come with a configuration Note, so I knew right away, like rum you the ropes most skillfully assembled (ie whether double rope up or down through the eye ?!). Overall, a high quality product that you can easily recommend to all those who do not be disturbed by the smell of rubber.
