I got this swing to contain Bret . To keep him from getting into everything, a little break for me . I knew it would work because whenever we go to the park he and Kelli both stay in the swings the entire time. The only problem I ran into was that Kelli wanted the swing too, of course. So then, I just had a new problem- the kids fighting and crying over the swing and whose turn it was. It only took me a day to decide to get another one!
