Is this swing susceptible to flipping over if child leans too far forward? Some swings of this type at parks seem to do that.

It's never flipped, or come close to flipping, for our son and we started putting him in it at 1 year old and he still sits in it now.

Good question--having five grandchildren I am always the super safe guy. This might happen if a big kid got into it but the way it is made (leg holes) a big kid couldn't get into it. This is not a question about which you should worry. Great product and seems very safe.

Our grandson is a big boy and we've have had no problems with tipping. It is very sturdy and we are happy with the product.

I suppose anything is possible... It is just chains... But we swing our son fairly aggressively and it has never happened... So, susceptible, no... Possible, for sure!

The "bucket" is deep and the child is perfectly balanced in this swing. I have not been concerned that my 2 year old granddaughter would be able to flip forward. She loves it and loves to be pushed really high.

Hi Brittany, I am not sure on that difference between swings. I just ordered one that came up and I don't know that mine has that option, it might be something new that they added to swing. I know mine can turn to swing sideways or forward swing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I do know that this swing is very quiet and it has the option to plug into wall, which saves huge on batteries. My baby loved it from newborn to up to 4 months, but he got too big for it by then and also had other interests. When they are little though it helps them to take a nice nap and gives Mommy a break too.

Our "C" Stand is currently un-anchored on a tiled surface and we've not had any problems; we also have the stand turned sideways so that human feet are between the front and back stand-legs. Our hammock chair sits rather low and that adds to having a lower center-of-gravity as well. AND... we don't let kids get crazy as though it were a playground jungle-gym. So far, so good.

Natalie - For some reason the only trouble of that sort we've had is when we push it on the lawn. We've found that if we pull back on the handle a bit it seems to straighten out. It doesn't happen all the time or for that matter, all that often but that's how we address it. Our grandson loves his little car and we spend most of our time pushing him on the sidewalk to avoid the wheel problem. It's really the only problem we've had with it. Design flaw?

The chains on the Swing N Slide are not covered, however we bought this set for our grandchildren and we have had no problems with pinching. The kids hold the handles to gain momentum. If you hold the chains the swing won't swing straight. All of the other swings on our set are covered because you hold the chains.

We've taken ours out into the yard for the kids to use, but only on very slightly uneven ground. Anything more than that and it would be unstable and prone to tipping.

Children are very flexible so their legs wouldn't be "too long" for years. My 26 month old is still rear facing and loves to flop her legs all over the place. We don't plan on turning her around anytime soon. I have some friends that are still rear facing their almost 4 year olds. Their skeletons are still forming and solidifying.

Swings and stays open, BUT DOES NOT LAY FLAT! MORE THAN 90 DEGREES! BUT LESS THAN 180 DEGREES. Sorry

My daughter who weighed about 40 lbs played in it very rough, and it never seemed to be unstable at all. She was very aggressive while trying to learn to flip both frontward and backward, yet, I never saw it tip at all. Would I put two kids into it at the same time, no. Not because of the trampoline's shortcomings, but two kids should never be on any trampoline at the same time. The chance of one or both of them getting hurt is huge. They can't control themselves very well at that age and size and more likely than not, their heads are going to clash together, which is something that should never happen. Keep it's use to one child at a time and you'll have no problems with it. My daughter who weighed about 40 lbs played in it very rough, and it never seemed to be unstable at all.

the way ours is set up the kids face the same way as the slide when on the swings- we have a wall behind the swings and there is about 5 feet beyond the farthest that any of the swingset parts reach so the kids still have plenty of room not to hit the wall...FYI this is our 3rd year with this set sitting through the Arizona summers 120+ degrees in full sun all day and it still looks great! very durable. Money well spent!

For us it's very sturdy. We put our kid in it since he was about 10 lbs. Now he's about 20 lbs and the swing is still fine. The base is relatively wide and the shoulder/waist straps are good to keep him in. We always have the swing on the lowest setting and it's very calm swing.

Yes, it does flip around. I haven't used it in that manner so the concerns that the other users have voiced probably would apply, if that's the way you plan to use it most of the time.

Yes. Mine constantly swings til I turn it off. Try to put it on the other speeds first the turn it on a faster one. If you get in an in between spot on the speeds it could stop. I have had similar problems with a full size swing I bought somewhere else.

Yes the rocker placement keeps the rocker from going backwards. When the child gets older you can move the rockers toward the front to allow for a longer rock.

I can tell you that I haven't had any issues with my swing at all and my baby is 12 pounds now, and then add blankets, etc. Ours had worked just fine every time so far without fail.

We bought this for our grandson who is 2 1/2 so we don't want him to twist just yet. His little sister (13 months) also likes to swing on it (lying down). I do think the swing could be hung with the ropes close together so that it could twist. It is very sturdy and we are very happy with it.
