HarklaSensory Swing - Indoor Pod Swing for Kids with Autism, ADHD, or Sensory Processing Disorder - Comes with Rock Climbing Rated Hardware and Soft Nylon Fabric for Calming Effect, Holds Up to 150lb

We've only had it for a month but it is holding up well with 3 kids using it regularly. I didn't blow up the pillow all the way, maybe a little over half way, and that has worked perfectly for us. Gives it a good cushion, but no problems so far with it retaining air. So far it has been a great purchase. We did buy the attachment to make it swivel.

We have been searching for this since we found through autism, and sensory disorder groups that these swing chairs really help children with these needs. We bought a single 250lb single-hook with 4ft of chain so we could hang this from a joist in our grandsons bedroom. Make sure to inflate the seat as much as possible, and if they are younger (he is 2), put towels or blankets around the edges of the inflated swing seat so they don't fall back into the swing so much. When he is frustrated or upset he will climb in and calm down. He also loves swinging and this satisfies the "indoor" swinging requirement since we can't be outside all of the time. Make sure to get enough chain so you can hang it low enough to the floor that they can learn to climb in by themselves; then as they get taller and older you can raise it higher. I highly recommend this product for its build-quality and sturdiness. I have no doubt this swing will last a long time. I also found the $80 price tag affordable compared to other models at much higher prices. Make sure to use the pump with your foot... using your hand... well that's just slow and not smart.Lastly - buy/use a hook/chain system you are comfortable with having in your ceiling, you don't need to use the plate that comes with it. Just make sure that whatever you buy has a load weight greater than the load weight of the swing so you don't risk it falling. Finding the ceiling stud/joist can be challenging with a stud-finder if you have popcorn/unflat ceilings... but stick with it, it will work eventually.

This swing was easy to hang and all 3 of my kids love it! It is very calming for my child with special needs and definitely helps her to relax, quiet down and regulate her emotions. We had an issue with the inner cushion not staying inflated, but contacted the company and they sent a replacement quickly. I have recommended this product to my friends and would definitely purchase other items from Harkla again.

Unfortunately this swing is not enjoyable. Our sensory seeking child can’t sit in it comfortably as the blow up cushion makes it hard to sit in. We have tried changing the size and adding pillows but it is uncomfortable. The thick material the swing is made from is also uncomfortable. Seeing that there are the nice stenchy Versions I wish we had gone with one of those.*****Update to my review. The customer service is incredible. The company supported our needs to find the right product for our child no question asked. I would definitely recommend this brand.

Well let me start off by saying we have a 7 year old autistic little boy who not only suffers from sensory disorder, and is completely non verbal but is also super hyper-active and suffers from a major sleep disorder. If you are parents or a parent raiding an autistic child similar to ours I highly recommend this product. It sure beats swinging our little guy on the outside swing at 1,2 or 4am. Not only does he enjoy this swing as an activity, but it is also very helpful in calming him dowm when he is having a melt down as well as him being able to cocoon himself inside with a blanket and pillow while being pushed aids in getting him calmed down for bed time instead of increasing his stimulation and adding to his insomnia at night. It is very easy to assemble and install, even though it comes with everything you need to install it I replaced the stock hanger and clevis with a higher weight rating. But that is just a personal prefference due to our sons rough and tumble ways. He is very hard on everthing. We have been using the swing for 3 weeks now and other than it needing to be tossed into the washer for a good cleaning which is very easy to do, it has held up to anything he can through at it. The only reason I gave them a 4 star instead of a 5 star rating is because it was supposed to come complete with a book on Austim sensory aids, and did not. Other than that we highly recommend this productUpdate,Product has been in use for about 2 weeks our little guy is getting a whole lot of use and enjoyment from it. Changed my star rating from 4 to 5 because the company was more than prompt at resolving our minor issue about the ASD book which I didn't understand is a digital download, not only did the respond promptly but were very appreciative of the purchase, rewiew, our input and are sensitive to the needs and situations that the parents, children as well as the special needs child faces. Thanks again for the support and making a product that truly helps us parents do a better job at raising their special little guys!!
