Our granddaughter is 15 months old and recently started a gymboree-type class in which she swings. From the second she saw her mom opening this gift, she made a bee-line for it and immediately climbed in. Mom and Dad lifted her and swung her back and forth to her total delight. she cried when they stopped and we had to hide it. Light, but sturdy. Nothing to assemble -- hang and swing for hours of delight!
