We have a hand me down outdoor fisher price baby swing for the swing set and I'm wondering how old they need to be to use it. We didn't have one with ds so I just wasn't sure. I'm guessing it has more to do with head control but just curious if any of u had an age in mind. Thanks!
we got the classic red and blue fisher price plastic bucket swing for kiddo, and we never installed it outside during his first summer (he was an april baby too). we used it indoors in a doorway by screwing eye hooks into the door frame. i think we started using it sometime around 6-8 months. it was actually really fun to have an indoor swing during the winter when we couldn't get out to play as much!
We just put DD2 in ours yesterday. The strap fits around her chest, so it kept her pretty stable. She loved it. Granted, it was not for very long, nor did she go high at all.
DH is a rigger (climbs 400ft wind turbines for a living) he made me a special rope so I could attach our swing to the tree in our front yard without harming it.
