PACEARTH 40 Inch Flying Saucer Tree Swing Seat (900 lb capacity) with Adjustable Braided Ropes

The essentials

If you’re looking for a “flying saucer” style swing that kids can sit in or even recline on, the PACEARTH 40 inch saucer tree swing is built around a simple idea: more support for more confidence. On paper, the bigger story here is its 900 lb weight capacity, paired with a padded, comfortable seat frame and rope setup made for secure hanging.

One important caveat: the swing’s real safety depends heavily on proper installation and the tree you choose. The included guidance mentions installation following the printed manual, and the carabiners are designed for hanging to a suitable limb.

So, when does this make sense? If your goal is a backyard (or park) saucer swing that feels cushioned, uses braided multi-strand ropes, and comes with the hanging accessories you actually need to get started, it’s worth considering.

What stands out in day-to-day use

The seat design is the part kids usually notice first. The frame is made of iron and padded with soft foam tubes, which are intended to be more comfortable and safer for children. The tubes connect and balance using provided eyebolts on the ropes, so assembly is meant to be straightforward rather than a complicated DIY project.

Ropes are another practical detail. Instead of the single-rope style some swings use, this saucer swing uses upgraded multiple-strand braided ropes. That matters because a braided structure tends to handle load more securely “by design,” and the brand lists the weight capacity up to 900 lb.

There’s also a small but meaningful comfort angle: the seat fabric is described as 900D Oxford with anti-aging features, intended to stay softer and more wearable over time. It’s also described as UV-resistance tested, which is a big deal if the swing lives outside most days.

Materials and safety approach

This swing is positioned as a kids outdoor play option with safety requirements addressed through quality engineering (as stated in the base description). The fabric is described as UV-resistance tested, and the weight capacity is higher than some “600D oxford fabric” swings the description references.

For hanging, you get two reinforced swing straps and heavy-duty galvanized locking carabiners. The carabiners are meant to let you attach the saucer round swing to a tree limb, with a preference for a 4”–5” diameter limb mentioned in the description.

Still, don’t treat “included carabiners” as a substitute for good setup. If the limb is questionable, if the straps aren’t positioned properly, or if the manual isn’t followed, the whole safety story weakens quickly.

Where it shines—and where it may fall short

A solid strength of this saucer swing is that it targets sturdier expectations on paper (900 lb capacity) while still focusing on comfort: padded foam tubes, a soft and wearable seat fabric, and braided ropes.

Where it may not be perfect is purely practical: saucer swings take space, and they’re most enjoyable when kids can safely sit or lay down without bumping furniture, fences, or other play items. Also, the description notes an “ideal choice for autistic kids to play indoors,” but it doesn’t provide indoor mounting details—so if you’re buying for indoor use, you’ll want to think through how you plan to hang it safely.

Should you buy it?

It’s a good buy if you want a 40 inch flying saucer tree swing with padded comfort, braided multi-strand ropes, and the hanging accessories already included, and you’re confident you can mount it correctly to a suitable tree limb (around 4”–5” diameter, per the guidance).

You may want to skip it if you don’t have a reliable tree limb for the carabiner/strap setup, or if you need clear info for a specific indoor mounting plan. This one doesn’t feel like a “set-and-forget” swing—installation quality and the hanging location matter a lot.
