 Fun times! May 10, 2010
Granted we've only had this for about 3 weeks but it's a big hit. My son, who turns 7 soon, absolutely loves it. He says it's totally awesome - what better review can a kid give than that? Yeah, the rope could have been longer, we did have to improvise by tying on an extra rope, but that wasn't that big of a deal. He twizzles, swings, does tricks, has a great time on it and it's gotten a lot of use. I don't see it as something he'll get bored with anytime soon. Give it a shot, I think you'll love it!

Fun Toy For Active Kids-- Need the Right Tree and Space Apr 15, 2010
My six year old daughter loves her Twizzler. In a fairly short time she's learned how to do different things on it like swing out on it while spinning, swing around in a big circle, and swing backwards. She chooses to go out and play on it, and her swing set.
The biggest challenge I had was finding the right tree and tree branch to hang it from. You need a branch that goes out a ways from the trunk, so they wont' accidentally swing into of course, and that branch has be low enough to get your rope over. The rope that comes with the Twizzler isn't long enough to reach a branch that's higher up.
I had to use an extra rope, a tall ladder and several tosses to get ours up, but I do think it was worth the effort. She really does enjoy swinging on it.
Rope Could be Longer Feb 25, 2010
My daughter really enjoys swinging and spinning on this thing. It occupys her for hours on end. The handle is easy to grip for small hands and feels very sturdy. It has weathered well, even with our nasty rainy weather. My only gripe is that the rope seemed a skosh short. We weren't surprised by the length or anything, its very clear how much rope it comes with, just would have liked a couple feet more if it were available. It was just barley long enough to fit on the lowest branch of our tree. That aside, this stick on a rope is surprisingly entertaining!
simple fun Jul 04, 2009
i've got two boys, ages 6 and 7, and they really love this swing. it's very simple, solidly built, and likely to last for a long time. they run as fast as they can, holding the swing, and leave the ground when the swing's angle makes it higher than they can reach. then they lift their legs and swing back and forth.
the only complaint is that the kids have used it so much that there is a big circle of trampled and dead grass under it. i guess that's a product endorsement. it took a little messing around to get it to the correct height, and having that set makes the circle of dead grass' radius lower.

 Ouch! Loved it at first.... Jun 30, 2009
Bought this for a foster child, so she'd have athletic toys in the yard, and other kids would want to come play. It worked for those, and she loves to twirl and spin on it. I'd say it's great for building upper body strength, takes up a small area, and amuses children for 1-20 minutes at a whack (pretty good for today's child!).
PROBLEM: the plastic handle is joined together by screw/bolts. These do not sit prettily together after some use and yesterday 2 neighbor kids got blood blisters using it when it pinched their fingers. Granted, one of them I will be happy not to have return, but I do not like toys that hurt children! I would return it, but the time just expired. Anyone know how to make contact with the company?
