Indoor sensory swing

[mimblewimble]

I did ask on SN children but not much response so posting here for traffic as would be nice to do for Xmas.

DS13 has a new bedroom and now has more space. He's autistic and would like some sensory things added to the space. It's an attic room with a large beam we can attach things to so we're wondering about a sensory swing - something fabric and cosy to hide in.

Any advice on where to buy one from? I've been googling but I either get sites that seem like they could be scams, or are way out of budget.

Would recommend this one, it's also currently on sale

Yeah I'd looked at that one, but the reviews for the swing seemed fake and the Trustpilot reviews for the website are awful.

For a 13 year old you will most likely need to get an adult type swing for the weight limits. Have a look at the below website.

This is exactly my problem - in that second link the sensory swings are almost £200. We can't afford that and I'm sure they shouldn't cost that much just for basically a piece of fabric :(

Is this any good?

How did you get on with sourcing a swing?
I’m currently on the hunt myself for a sensory seeking 6YO and, as you say, all the ones that are paying for google and Facebook advertising have diabolical Trustpilot reviews 🤦🏻‍♀️

I gave up looking for now!
