| Pros | Cons |
| Hanging swings can be used practically anywhere as long as you have some rope and a hook to hang the swing from, be it inside the house or in your garden, on a tree. | Assembly required: You need to attach the ropes to a strong structure. It requires some effort. |
| Gives children an opportunity to enjoy time outdoors. | Lack of convenience: A strong overhead structure is difficult to find everywhere. Hence, there are limited options to hang the swing. |
| They are inexpensive because of their simple design and limited features. | Lack of features: Because of the portability requirements, they do not have the luxurious features of a full-size swing. Only a few models offer a hanging toy bar and vibrating seat. |
| Weight limit: Because hanging swings are attached to external supports, they can even be used for heavier toddlers, from 6 months to about 3-4 years of age. Check the weight specifications on each swing, as it might vary. | |
