1. You need to use/learn a specialty knot like slip knot or fisherman's double knot.
2. Pre drill both holes about 2 inches with a drill bit smaller than the included screws. If the screws won't tighten, pre drill with a slightly bigger bit, but don't use a bit as wide as the screws. Obviously, only drill and install on a ceiling joist or other strong wood.
3. The rope and canvas material stretch a bit in the beginning, so hang a few inches higher than you want it.
4. We had to put a pillow in the back since our LO's sink into the back of the swing too far to be comfortable.
5. As others mentioned, insert the inflatable seat before blowing it up. And the included pump is garbage, just blow it up the ol fashioned way and save 15 minutes.
Nice swing made of quality materials. I gave 4 stars for two reasons. First there are no instructions included. No it's not that difficult to figure out, but it would be nice. Second, the bolts broke off while installing. I predrilled and used some extra bolts I had. One final tip, I used a slip knot to tie the rope. Hope this helps others who are thinking about buying this product.Overall, a nice product that I would recommend
It looks just like the picture, it is made from durable resistant materials, the assembly was quite easy. Keep in mind that the package is intended to install on wood roofing, and comes with self-drilling screws, which is good. But if you intend to install on a plastered or concrete ceiling you will need to use an appropriate dowel and screws NOT included. Also there are no instructions on how to tie a nice knot to fix the height of the swing, I suggest you look up some knot techniques on YouTube.
I was hesitant to buy this item, as I always read the bad reviews for items, but decided to give it a shot. I am not disappointed. The pod swing is high quality and made of a heavy fabric. It was easy to install and came with all the parts. The cord that comes with it is heavy material. I was nervous about just knotting it to hold the swing, but i tied it several times and my husband assured me it would be fine. My son swings in it and jumps up into it. It's holding fine and he loves it. It's the perfect addition to his cozy room. Just for reference, my son is 2 and weighs 32lbs and it holds his weight without problem and is more than large enough for him to lounge in.
This hanging chair is a hit with my kids. Seems easy enough to put up. I would for sure get a stud finder before installing this. The only thing I didn’t like is the provided pump to blow up the cushion. It didn’t really work so I blew it up myself. I would actually prefer a regular cushion than the blow up one with the pump. I guess if this cushion ever pops I will replace it with an actual round cushion or pillow.

Description
Product Description:
This is a wonderful additional to any child's bedroom. Great for playing, hiding, storing stuffed animals or even a cozy place for a cat nap.
Safety advice:
Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity
Before use please make sure that the chair is fixed safely and use quality tools for the installation.
If the hooks or wall fxings are used up, exchange them immediately, as the chair may come off due to the used up fxings.
If the product is used up, do not use it any more.
Do not allow children to use the hammock without direct adult supervision.
Installation:
- In case of living tree fx the rope to a strong tree branch. Make sure you opt for a branch which bears the maximum weight capacity of the chair and the weight of the chair itself. The thin tree branch may lead to injuries.
- The chair can be fxed to timber by an extention rope or by an eye lag folded into the timber.
- If you prefer to use the chair interior (at a concrete ceiling), the right solution is using an eye lag drilled into the ceiling and glued into wall-plug.
Great chair. No doubt.
My advice: get higher quality lag bolts and DO NOT use the ones that came with it. I drilled proper pilot holes in my ceiling joist and both bolts sheered off while I was screwing them in anyway. Bummer. Had some slightly bigger ones in my garage luckily and used those. In my case, either larger bolts, I had to increase to hole diameter in the mounting plate using my drill press. The mounting plate is solid.
After that trial, the chair installed fine and the kids love it.
I also used my bike pump as the push pump that is included is pretty useless... nice that it’s there though, I suppose.
Hope this helps!
I love this swing. We bought 2 of them one for each kid. One green one which is super awesome and the white and pink one. The white looks like a pee stained yellow. It comes with a pump that is pretty cheap and fragile, but it gets the job done. Over-all I love the product. I'll be buying another one for my 3rd child when she's old enough. As a side note I did not trust the hardware and rope that was sent with the chair. I used my own ceiling mount and chain.
I love this pod swing and so do my kids. I run a small daycare at home and every kid thinks it's the best. With that said I was a bit disappointed with how easy the cushion deflated. The seam is where it is leaking air from. The fabric and the hardware to hang the pod are great quality! I did buy another one for my daughters room and it seems to be holding up nicely compared the the first one I bought.
Great material. Perfect chair. Hung in daughters room hardware is great. Pump is cheap and already broke. Alot larger than I had expected. Average size 9 year old daughter fits in it but wont for much longer.
My son (ASD level 2) absolutely LOVES his swing. Only wish I have is that the cushion was better quality as ours has already punctured. We replaced it with pillows which work just as well.
