ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

For our product test, we received the children’s swing from WOLKENGLÜCK in an Amazon shipping box. When we opened the outer box, we discovered a second, company-branded box with a nice thank-you note from the manufacturer.
Unpacking the swing, we noticed that all the components were carefully packed in a plastic bag made of recyclable polyethylene. This packaging provided good protection and ensured that all parts arrived safely. The Prüfengel Institute appreciates the use of recyclable material and the environmentally conscious packaging.
The children’s swing itself was in perfect condition. All components were complete and there was no damage or defects. The German operating instructions were also included.

ℹ️ Before we start the practical test, we take a close look at the workmanship of the products. How high quality are the materials used? Are the look and feel satisfactory?

The children’s swing from WOLKENGLÜCK has a flawless appearance. The smooth andscratch-free plastic surface gives the swing a child-friendly and cheerful appearance. The nylon ropes are of high quality, but the ends tend to fray due to insufficient sealing. The safety harness, the plastic of the swing and the drill holes are carefully finished and have no defects. It also impresses in terms of stability, as it is sturdy and robust and can easily support weights of up to 100 kg. The swing weighs just 2.22 kilograms. The snap hooks and loop straps are also robust and of high quality. No information is available on the sustainability of the children’s swing. The swing is made of plastic, which suggests a certain durability. The swing height can be adjusted as required (93-165 cm) and can therefore be used for many years. Overall, the children’s swing is visually appealing, has been carefully finished (with the exception of the rope ends), has a stable construction and has the potential to last a long time.

ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

The test with the children’s swing gave us great pleasure, as the product is self-explanatory to use and easy to handle .
The stability of the swing was tested using load tests. It can withstand up to 100 kg, which indicates its robust construction. The carabiners and loop straps proved to be stable and reliable. Only the rope ends were not sufficiently sealed and showed slight signs of fraying.
The safety of the children’s swing was also tested. With the included safety belt, the child remains securely on the seat and cannot fall off. Due to its special design, the swing is resistant to tipping over and is therefore ideal for outdoor use. It is also very light, which makes it flexible to use and easy to transport.
The assembly material, consisting of a screwdriver, 5 screws and 5 nuts, was included in the scope of delivery. Unfortunately, the enclosed instruction manual was not very detailed and somewhat complicated. Nevertheless, the swing was easy and quick to set up and assemble without much effort.
The swing is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The swing length is adjustable and there is a removable backrest and handrail to ensure the child’s comfort and safety.
To assess the comfort of the children’s swing, we had a 3-year-old child try it out. The child found the swing very pleasant and comfortable. There was enough space for the legs and the child was able to move freely.
Overall, the children’s swing was convincing in the practical test.
