Are you able to adjust the hanging ropes to give the seat an incline for smaller aged children?

The ropes wrap from one side to the other side, not front to back. There's no mechanism built in to change the angle of the seat. You can use a rope shortening knots or clamps to change the angle of the seat.Keep in mind, however, that this seat is not designed for infants or toddlers that require more head and neck support. If you feel you need to change the angle of the seat, you should probably look for a product designed for that use.

I actually got it for my niece so I'm not sure. I would imagine so though, you would probably just need to pull the rope through more and tie the rope in a large knot at the point where you'd want it to stop.

Only the seat height adjusts.....this might be a problem for someone who's really short and needs to seat to be at its minimum.

It does adjust, it actually has a very simple mechanism. the instructions are not good but using your logic get be put together. Just wish the stool was higher.

we replaced the ropes the seat comes with with stronger (and longer) ropes and it can hold our 2.5 year old (~22 lbs) without a problem. this seat is strongly built.

We just started using it. You can adjust the settings for "less" resistance so the heavier you are the less incline.

It is possible. My daughter is on the small side, and when she hangs on the bar the back legs sometimes lift up. It is not meant to be used that way.

It IS possible to adjust. There are slots at either end which allow the rungs to slide up or down so it would work for you. Hope that helps.

I have found that the only way to adjust the bike is by raising or lowering the seat. But at the lower level my 8 year old grand daughter, who is shorter than 4'11" is able to ride comfortably. I really like this product. It is sturdy and works great.

There's no adjustable incline option, you can just simply increase the resistance.

It's very easy to adjust. My 6 year old can do it. To make it raise, all you need is a broom handle or something like it and push up anywhere on the unit. To make it go down, you still use a broom handle but there is a catch lever you have to push on to release the unit.

Yes and no. You can't adjust the pole but you the spiral portion at the top can hold the string higher or lower by about 6 inches. We love it -- still! :)

You can adapt it, but depending on your swing set I'm not sure rope will be long enough. If not, you just have to buy one

If the seat and handlebars are lowered, there should be no problem. And keep in mind that a 4'8" 9-year-old will be steadily growing, so you'll be adjusting things upward periodically!

It is not adjustable to recline the Ropes are what you have to adjust seating style with and then it is set to that

Yes - with a little creative adjustment even kids can use. It was too far a reach for my legs (I am 5'3"), so I removed the seat and reversed the bracket that the seat and hand holds attach to. It gave me more that enough room to move the seat forward and the hand holds are positioned exactly the same, just pointed backwards rather than forwards.

It would be kind of hard, especially if it was a very small child. I don't think they could get the leverage given that the seat is rope and gives a little.

Yes. Be sure to get a hammock kit with chain in order to adjust height from the ground
