I am looking for a single outdoor swing for a 18 month old to hang from a tree. I see mixed reviews about the Little Tykes T Bar one online at Target and Walmart. Any have any experience with it? Does anyone else make one? DD really likes to sit upright in the swings at the park and I think she may not like the recline of the LT one. Any help would be appreciated.


I tried searching as I know this topic has been discussed before but my searches yielded everything about baby swings.

Are you talking about the blue t bar swing? We had that and my DS LOVED it! We're now using it for DD. She's not a fan but she doesn't like the swings at the park either. They scare her. I don't have any complaints and it's held up really well the past 3 years.

This one does look more upright.

You could buy a park swing but they are $$.

We just got a big girl swing, but DD is 2.5 years old. It was only $15 though! If your DC can hold on already, it might be a good option. I did not want one of the rope swings since they all seemed to be self leveling, but I didn't think they would be level enough because DD's swing is very close to a pole, so I needed something that would go very
straight.

We got this one from Menard's:

If this one didn't work out, my next choice was:

I have this Step 2 one and I didn't see it mentioned here. Got it at Target. Works great! DS still uses it at 21 months (and he is really big for his age).
