This is the medium variation of the wrap sensory swing. It's still 450cm long, but only 180cm wide compared to 250cm wide for the large, meaning it has less overlapping material around the head and feet for smaller kids.
Quick Summary
- Medium - for smaller kids, approx <140cm tall.
- Smooth and Strong Nylon Fabric
- Capacity: 90kg
- Hanging Length: Adjustable
- Swing Size: 450x180cm
- Can be hung from 1 or 2 hanging points.
It is approximately for children <140cm tall. Smaller kids can use the large too, but they may find it a bit too deep, and with a bit too much excess material around the head and feet, so that's when the medium can be preferable
The nylon material is smooth, strong, and a bit stretchy - similar to lycra.
The adult and child in the photos weigh a total of 80kg, compared to the swing weight limit of 90kg.
Hanging
You can hang the swing from 1 or 2 hanging points. Hanging from 1 point will mean the swing wraps tighter and can spin, while hanging from 2 points will be a bit more open though still fairly tight, and will mainly move forward and backward, not spin.
The optional tree straps are not only for trees. They can be used to hang from horizontal supports, such as a horizontal beam on a verandah.
Size
The size is for smaller kids, approximately <140cm tall. Taller people can fit too, but for an adult for example, the large is more comfortable. This size will have less material overlap than the large, when used by a small child. The suggested age is 3+, though small children should use it under supervision, to make sure that they can get in and out safely, and preferably with a soft surface beneath.
Adjusting
You'll receive 2 large carabiners with the swing. To set up the swing, you'll need to tie each end through a carabiner. Make sure to double knot it, as the smooth material could slide if only single knotted. Retie one end until you have your desired hanging length. If there is excess material hanging down on one end, sit it in the carabiner.
Having the carabiners means it's easy to take down and put up without having to re-adjust or retie every time.
Usage
The nylon material is mildew resistant, but can fade with prolonged UV exposure, so it is better as an indoor swing. If used outdoors, it is best kept under cover when not in use.
Washing
The swing is suggested to be hand-washed, and can be dried on low heat cycle.
Swing Tree Straps: Pair
Quick Summary
- Strong with 200kg Capacity Each
- Length: 120cm
- Width: 4cm
- Comes as a Pair of Straps
These tree straps are specifically designed for use with swings.
You can hang with 1 strap and have the swing swivel, or you can use 2 straps to decrease spinning.
They're easy to set up and strong too, so your kids can be swinging within minutes. You simply pass the strap over a strong branch, then loop the strap through itself. Just have an adult test the straps set up before use.
Ceiling Anchor Plate Kit: Single
For use in concrete, brick or wood, this anchor plate kit is designed with ceilings in mind.
It uses 4 sleeve anchor expansion bolts when used in concrete or brick, or 4 wood screws when used in wood for a sturdy hold. It then uses a carabiner and strap with 6 loops for selecting the desired hanging height.
The anchor plate is a good option when you want something more solid than a screw hook or tree strap, or when you need to install in concrete or brick (which some hooks won't allow).
Setup is easy enough if you know how to use the expansion bolts or wood screws:
Installation in Concrete or Brick
The 4 expansion bolts (sleeve anchors) are specifically designed for use in concrete or brick.
- Mark out 4 holes positioned correctly for the anchor plate.
- Drill the holes with a hammer drill, with depth and width to fit the sleeve anchors inside.
- Clean the hole of dust using a vacuum, blower or brush.
- Position the anchor plate in place.
- Slide or tap the sleeve anchors in, then tighten the nuts sufficiently so that the sleeve expands, tightening itself in the hole.
For further instructions for installing in concrete or brick, see below:
Installation in Wood
Important: Do not use the expansion bolts in wood. It could split the wood, and will not be as strong as wood screws. Please only use the wood screws when installing in wood.
- Mark out 4 holes positioned correctly for the anchor plate.
- Drill pilot holes (to help to avoid wood splitting).
- Position the anchor plate in place.
- Drive in the screws.
Now you have your anchor plate in place, so you can attach your strap by passing it through the metal ring, then passing it through itself. Now attach the carabiner at the desired height and attach the swing of your choice.
Have an adult check the strength of the set-up before use.

Sensory Swing Frequently Asked Questions
How to assemble a sensory swing?

How to install a sensory swing?
There are a few ways on how to install your sensory swing indoors:
Connect the hanging screw hook to the ceiling
- Connecting the hanging screw hooks
- Find a joist in your ceiling
It's much better if you have a stud finder tool so you can easily locate the joist.
What to do if you don't have a stud finder?
A quick tip: Knocking the ceiling. If your knocking sounds solid, then it must be one of your joists. If it's hollow it isn't. Try another direction of your ceiling. Majority of the joists only direct in one direction.
Now you've located the joist, you can start to locate anywhere from those joists you're planning to hang the sensory swing seat at.
3. Installing your sensory swing
Equipment you need:
4. Draw the hole location
- Use the ceiling hanging kit to measure where you can drill the holes. Mark its holes with a pencil.
Please note: The majority of the joists are in different sizes so some are not wide enough to drill those four bolts.
Solution: Drill at least 2 blots along the joist. Sometimes, two bolts will be enough to support the seat.
- Using the drill, drill into the joist where the pencil markings are. Drill each hole.
- Clean out the drill using a vacuum, brush, or blowing into the bits. Always use a protective face shield, sunglasses to protect your eyes and not get dust in them.
- Insert the hook into the hole and screw the bolts through the ceiling hook.
- Tighten all the bolts using a screwdriver.
- Connect the carabiner to the sensory swing hook that’s already installed.
- If it’s too high from the ground, you can use a hanging chain kit to extend the seat lower to the floor.
