FAQS

Description

If you are looking for a sensory or therapy swing to help your child relax and get their bearings, you’ve come to the right spot. Our sensory swings are made of high-quality but comfortable canvas your child will want to spend hours in.

Our Sensory Pod Swings are used by occupational therapists for autism spectrum disorder and sensory processing disorder. The Pod Sensory Swing provides a hug-like effect for little ones by providing Deep Touch Pressure (DTP). The Pod Sensory Swing also provides vestibular input. From infancy through adulthood, vestibular information contributes to the development of muscle tone, balance, eye movements, and more. Using slow, linear movements (back and forth, side to side), the Pod Sensory Swing gives much-needed vestibular input and creates a feeling of calm in your child.

However, many families purchase them simply because they are a fun place for your child to hang out!

Since our indoor therapy swing safely hangs from your ceiling, your child can receive the calming sense of well-being that swinging brings right in your home.

Sensory Swing Science

VESTIBULAR INPUT & DEEP TOUCH PRESSURE

Sensory swings provide vestibular input. Vestibular input is the sensation of any change in position, direction, or movement of the head. It gives our bodies information about whether we are moving with or against gravity, fast or slow, moving or still, and what direction we're headed. If you'd like to learn more about sensory swings and the science behind them, we wrote a guide to it here.

Sensory swings also provide Deep Touch Pressure (DTP). DTP is simply distributed weight across the body that can give a feeling of calm, relaxation, and naturally improved sleep. If you'd like to read more about the natural benefits of DTP, we wrote an article on it here.

Fun an calming

This sensory swing is great. It was easy to install and durable. It's quite calming and relaxing, and fun at the same time. Blow up pillow is ok, fine with or without it.

Great quality!

This pod chair is a nice, quality one. The material is thick and the stitches well done. Everything seems very sturdy and has held up well to lots of rough use from my crew!

So far so good

Kids ages 3 and 2 have loved it so far. Once we got all the needed supplies, it was very simple to set up. The kids have played with it already for an hour tonight! We made sure to set it up far enough away from any walls because our kids are wild and would definitely hit the wall.

150lbs? Good luck

First, I want to say that the chair, strap, and hardware are all high quality. It is a fantastic chair and the kids love sitting in it and getting spun around quickly.My kids are a bunch of readers and they like to wedge themselves into precarious positions while they read. This was the primary reason for picking up this seat.The problem we had was that it only fit my youngest kids who are my 9 and 11 year olds. While my 11 year old fits, he doesn't like being in it for a very long period of time. He's around 95 pounds and on the taller side. So saying it supports 150 lbs being the technical limit does not really mean they will be comfortable.I would recommend this only for kids 8 and younger. It's possible that your older kids who might be on the smaller side would enjoy this, my general recommendation would to err on the side of caution. I wish I would have had this many years earlier as my kids would have absolutely loved it in their toddler + years.

Comfy and easy to install

I ordered this hanging swing chair for my child's room.It was very easy to install into a stud on the ceiling and came with all the hardware needed.It has the Swivel connector allowing them to swivel and spin as many times without the swing twisting up on itself and causing wear and tear.My child weighs around 100lbs and with the included inflatable pillow in the swing my child says it's very comfortable and fun.It seems durable too.
