A fun twist on the tire tree swing, the Super Spinner is a “UFO shaped” (according to one 10-year old) disk swing that lets one or more kids (and even a parent) take a ride. Its “adjustable double-braided ropes and weather-resistant clips are designed for a safer, more comfortable ride,” according to the manufacturer. Super Spinner can be suspended to swing and spin from trees, play sets, a porch beam or any other secure structural beam that works for your family. There are two sizes of Super Spinner available. The original can accommodate one or two little kids, and can hold up to 200 pounds. It’s available in green, blue, red, purple, pink, or yellow.
