Love my flying saucer! It was a little tricky getting the frame together, and I would say that we definitely have no plans to try to take it anywhere, even though it says that it is portable and even comes with a tote bag. Not to mention the weight. Either way, I love it! We also had a good time getting the swing hooked that first time, but we discovered the perfect trick. I will try to post a picture to show, but what we do is carry it upright with the hook facing the center. One person lifts it up by the straps on the underneath and leans it in the arms of the frame while the other person stands on the step stool and hooks the caribiner. Presto! Move the step stool, and lower the swing into the middle.
