Got this for my 3 year old son on the autism spectrum so he would have a tight quiet place to relax. He loves to spin in the pod. The person who is enjoying this most is our daughter. She reads in here, watches the IPad, etc. Husband had a pretty easy time putting this into the ceiling.
My grandchildren love their chairs! However, I question the statement that it will hold up to 176lbs. That doesn't say for how long. Being the good Dad, my son tested the chair, he weighs 160-170lbs. Needless to say he ended up on his butt on the floor. the thin paracord snapped. the hook broke and since it was under tension came down and whacked him on the head. He will attempt to fix the chair with some light weight climbing rope
and a heftier hook and lag bolts to hold the hardware up.
That being said, for younger children it would probably not be a problem, but as they grow and gain weight it may become a problem. Especially if they want to spin around or make the chair swing. So, I think the statement on their packaging that it will hold up to 176 lbs should be changed.
Was a gift for my grandson who has Asperger's. He loves it. It gives him a quiet place to read or just hang out. I also bought a stand so the chair can be in his room. It seems to be well made and comes with all of the necessary equipment to hang. Well worth it, highly recommend. I definitely recommend this seller as well...priced fairly, high quality, secure packaging, and prompt delivery.
We bought this for my 11 Year old daughter. She has been asking for a swinging chair in her room for a while now. She has the perfect beam in her room to support it so it was just a matter of finding the right chair for her. When given the opportunity to get this swing chair and write a review for the company I was more then excited to. It came very quick and came on the perfect day. We had to put my daughters dog down the day this came in the mail. So While she was out at her Aunts house I set to getting this hung up. I did have a hard time using the screw that came with the Bracket, so I just used some real good ones that I had and some really good wall anchors. Once I had the bracket up it was not hard at all to get the chair hung up and ready to go. I used my foot pump to blow up the cushion and it was ready to go. It only took me about 10 minuets to get it all set up. I sat in it to make sure that it will hold up to the the weight limit. I am 150 and it held me great. She was so happy when she came home.
I ordered two of these, hoping my kids would use them for quiet reading time. My husband had to go out and get different mounting hardware to hang these from the ceiling in the playroom, but the kids LOVE them. They do swing IN them, but mostly ON them, like tarzan across the playroom. One of the plastic pillows did spring a leak, but with the way my kids abuse these you can hardly blame the manufacturer for that, and it was easy enough to just stuff a pillow in there. Hoping when they are older they will climb inside and read some books, but for now they are great for indoor recreation. We have had these for almost a year and they are holding up great, very good construction. My 4-year old loves hers so much she said she wants "pod" as her birthday theme this year.

My son with ASD loves his swing. The only issue is that we had no idea how to install this swing with the hardware they provided. We went out and bought our own. As for the people saying the inflatable didn't come with the cover... The inflatable must be zipped into the swing. You have to search for the zipper in there, place the deflated pillow in, then inflate it while it's in the pocket. Otherwise it won't fit.
My son has sensory processing disorder, and my foster son has several sensory issues. We bought this because the hammock chair we got was hard for the kids to use and was always slipping off the bar. The pod swing however, is great for kids!! My very large 5 year old was able to sit semi-comfortably with my average sized 4 year old. They can easily get in on their own and enjoy hanging out in it.
We use it outside on a tree branch. We went to a hardware store and got a chain rated for a LOT if weight and two of their links that function kind if like a caribeener and hung it over a branch. Using the caribeener it is easy to bring it in when they are done.
I'm giving this 5 stars because we love the swings. We originally got an inYard therapy swing for our son with Autism and was very disappointed in the material. He could not get in and out of that one on his own. These swings are great because you can hang them low enough to the ground - he climbs right in and out. The swing still gives him a "hug" feel when he lays all the way in it. Our daughter always wanted to swing in his, so we ended up ordering another one. I was a little surprised that the actual colors of the swings were different. (They were ordered a few weeks apart) the 2nd one we bought is just as great ... however, it did not arrive with ANY hardware. My husband had to go to Home Depot and get rope/hardware to hang. Overall happy with our purchases and can't beat the price
This was a big hit! We gave it to my niece for her birthday and decided to install it for her while we were visiting. The directions were misplaced as soon as the package was opened, so we had to find them online. The only place we could find them was in a video tutorial someone posted on youtube. Still, once installed, I tested it out and my weight (150) was no problem for it. Although if you are an adult and thinking of purchasing, I don't think you'll like it. It dug into the back of my legs and of course there is no back support. But it's not for grown ups so that is not going to affect my rating. I only took off a star because it is hard to find instructions online and because if you are giving this as a gift, it comes in a blank box so you have to explain to the kid what you got them. They should add a picture to the box. Overall very satisfied and both my nephew and my oldest daughter have asked for ones for their birthdays after seeing my nieces!
This child pod is amazing! I have a son who has sensory disorder and children that don't and they all love it!! Its their hide out! For reading, relaxing, sleeping...were both so happy with it!
Its made well, easy to hang. I hung mine on a stand. We keep it outside. However last weekend was very rainy, my son asked if we can bring it in, we did and oh so happy I did! We had to be indoors all day due to the weather and the pod definatly eased some sibling fighting!
Thanks again for a wonderful product!
