Tree swings are made of different materials, ranging from wood and recycled tires to steel frames and plastic discs.

Before you get a swing, determine the weight, height and motor sensory abilities of the user. A single-person tree swing, which is usually made of wood, plastic discs or some form of tire, is designed to carry users with weight not usually exceeding 117 pounds. This means that each child would have to wait for a turn on the swing.

A multiple-person swing would help to solve the issue of bickering and waiting turns among the kids. It's usually strongly built to carry up to 250-pound weights. Some have steel frames and are padded at the edges, to ensure comfort and safety. The padding at the edge is essential because, without it, the steel frame might be harmful to the user.
This type of swing would also be good for children with special needs, because they can swing with their siblings, friends or an adult.

Most tree swings are padded or made with materials that ensure that ragged edges are well covered, so users won't be injured in the course of play. Any part that sticks out or is in contact with the user should be well-padded for safety.

For swings like a plastic disc rope swing, check that the neck of the rope is covered with molded plastic, so that users' legs won't be harmed. Some people wrap the rope with some soft but firm material to prevent rope burns.

Multiple-person swings have strong seats made of either mat fabric or strong nylon ropes. Some may also be plastic, but they should be strong and sturdy enough to withstand children standing and jumping on them.

Some swings come with the complete hardware for assembling them, while others sell their mounting gear or hardware separately. Be sure that the swing you are getting is easy to install and doesn’t require technical knowledge. All the swings featured in this review are easy to assemble.
