We really enjoyed testing the nest swing as the product is easy to use and handle. The stability of the swing was tested through load tests It is extremely resilient and can carry up to 150 kg, which indicates its stable construction. The carabiners and loop straps have proven to be stable and reliable, and the safety of the nest swing has also been tested. The enclosed safety instructions recommend that children should only be supervised by their parents while swinging on the nest swing, as there is no safety harness or comparable safety devices for the children. When the nest swing is correctly assembled, it is stable and safe, the assembly material (3 wrenches, 8 screws) and operating instructions are included in the delivery and no other tools are required. Assembly is only made more difficult by the loose foam tubes, as they can slip away when inserted into the cover of the seat mat and are difficult to move. The instructions provided were clear and detailed, with illustrations for each step. However, the swing was quick and easy to set up and assemble without much effort. The durable material of the ropes and the seat mat is weatherproof and water-repellent. The swing length is also adjustable. The nest swing is ideal for relaxation and can also be used by adults .
