This swing is perfect for that 2-4? range where they just aren't steady enough on a regular swing. My son is almost three and loves this. I hung it low enough that he can just about get in it himself and needs some help with the hook. Having the chain in front of him adds that extra level of protection to keep him from falling out. It's got a rubber sleeve over it, so no worries about scratches and the hook seems very secure. I'd say this is comparable to the Gorilla brand, but at a much better price. The green matches our Gorilla swing set perfectly. I highly recommend!
