Are the chains covered in plastic or are they exposed so that fingers can get pinched?

Metal, but they don't hold on to those, they have handles on the front and back

The chains are not covered but like another responder said, they hold on to the handles, not the chains. 3 & 5 yr. old love it.

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.

There is a small plastic piece that snaps over the 2 ends to prevent fraying.

The chains are included, but can easily be removed. I'll try to post a picture to product images. Be safe :)

They are not very stiff, they will not give a lot of protection from bending. I'm not familiar with the penny sleeves so I can't compare to them.

They are molded where there is a fine texture on fingertips. The texture is so fine you will not really see or or feel it but it does help with gripping things. It's well designed.

They come with very cheap plastic gloves. Probably adequate for a couple uses. I just kept my leather driving gloves on, no problem.

They are a hard plastic. And bare feet on aft shoes like ballet are best for gripping.

I believe them to be rubber. They have a little flex to them unlike hard plastic ones.

They are plastic. I was in Kuwait when they broke so I didn't try. I wasn't bringing the bike or basket home with me.

Sorry, these were a present, so I can't look at the packaging, but the handles are hard plastic, and the spoon parts are softer, with a sort of rubbery texture and a little pliable. Better than both hard plastic spoons, or metal ones (especially if you miss your target.) These are not the short spoons for toddlers to feed themselves, by the way, but the handles are a nice length for feeding small children (hence the 'miss your target' concern.) They are dishwasher safe, I do remember that. (Top rack, if you want to play it safe, with the bottles and the nipples and all that.) Hope this helps.

They are hard plastic but they do not hurt. We love this for neck and back problems.

No, they are not covered. They look and feel just like giant black rubber bands. They are quite strong.

They're plastic. We really like it though, it's pretty comfortable and looks good. I have to say the material is pretty resistant because I have a small yorkie whom is always getting on top of the couch and there's not a scratch on it. The only problem is that delivery was pretty lengthy almost three weeks and they do not set it up for you which could be a little inconvenient if you live in a smaller place.

I'm surprised by the last comment about them pinching fingers. My 3 year old plays with them almost daily and we have never had a pinch. Like the other answers said, the dolls can only sit when they are not dressed. There is no way I will buy the rubber ones again-oh and those rip apart so they don't last forever either.

They are hard plastic. I definitely would not recommend wearing them to Disney.

If you are referring to a case and in plastic then yes they are protected. I received mine on time and haven't had any problems so far.

there is a pair of prongs on one side near the chain that you squeeze slightly and pull out of the loops the rubber tips slide off the prongs.
