- First of all, check that the chain will pass over the two sizes of chain quick link. If needs be, you can widen one link of chain by hammering a metal punch into the link.

- Place one end of a 3/8” chain quick link through one leg of the jeans and around the rebar, bunching up the fabric inside the chain link. Leave the chain link open.

- Tie the steel or baling wire through a link of the chain and feed the wire through one piece of hose or tubing. With the wire pull the chain through the tubing until the end of the chain appears at the other side of the hose (this will require either two people or tying the wire off to something sturdy so that you can pull against it). Untie the steel wire.

- Put the end of the chain into the open chain quick link. Tighten the chain quick link with a crescent wrench.

- Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the other chain on the other side of the jeans.

- Put each chain over the thing (tree branch, rafter) from which you will suspend your swing. Attach each chain to itself using the ¼” chain quick link. Tighten the chain quick link with a crescent wrench. Tie any extra chain to itself in a knot for added security.

- Put weight on the swing to assure yourself everything is secure and safe (it should hold an adult's weight easily), and then try it out on your toddler.

- This swing is very safe, but still don't leave your toddler unattended. He/she should hold on to the hose/tubing handles at all times.
