slackers 70 ft Hawk Series Zipline - Kids Zip line Kit with Safety Zipspring Brake System - Great Zipline Kit for Kids and Teens - Recommended Ages 7+ (Hawk Series)

Very good quality product, I have 3 kids ranging from 48-74lbs and they have all enjoyed it. The instructions are very thorough & explain how to safely install. My kids absolutely love it.

This product is Very sturdy and safe! It has a stopper at the end, your child isn’t going to go flying into a fence or anything like I thought at first lol I recommended this to many mom friends. They All love it and are satisfied! My husband had it up in less than an hour or so. We connected ours to the trees in our back yard . Glad I went with this one and 70 ft . My son loves it, his friends love it, they made me go on, my husband went on Lol it’s fun and the kids will love it! It’s safe, I’d let you know, if it were not. I’m big on honesty and reviews for other parents. If your son or daughter has a lot of energy, loves parkour and all of that stuff-or they’ve been a climber with a lot of energy since they were little-you need this! This was my sons favorite gift he received for Christmas from us . I did my research on all of them! The kids go from their scooters, ramps, skateboards- then to the zip line, to the trampoline but back to the zip line. They stay on the zip line for hours just taking turns and laughing . My husband built steps for the kid’s to be able to get on to the seat . It’s a little high and we couldn’t adjust the knot but once it is worn in a few times, it’s fine. My son runs outside after homework and goes right for that zip line everyday. During these times of isolation and trying to Keep our kids active and busy... order this! You know your child best, so it’s up to you, as seeing it fit for them. I want to mention my son is turning 12 in June. But even if he were still 7-8 years old, I’d go with this one bc he’d be ready for it. The smaller ones for younger kids just wouldn’t be enjoyable for a child like mine or his friends. His friends who have zip lines have the shorter ones suitable for smaller kids . Depending on your child and how active they are, every child is different- As I stated, he’s been a wild adventurous boy, climber, loves parkour, outside, ramps, his scooter, building tree houses and did I mention the energy? Lol. But he knows his boundaries and limits. If this sounds like your child. Then trust me, it is safe, fun, easy to install and the smile on their face is priceless! One thing I want to mention. When bringing the zip line back, to get on and go again . Make sure you have something to wrap the zip line around, to hold In place. Until your child can grab the bars and get on again. Otherwise it’ll go.

Is a great zipline! Family love riding on it. It says a 30 min setup on the box, but will likely take longer than that. Doing it all by myself took about 2 hours total, which I still feel isn't that bad. 2 people I would say could do it in an hour. Having 2 people would have been very useful when tightening the line and putting the clamps on, but can still be dont by one person. The one thing that confused me was it contained 2 sets of instructions, one for what looked like was the previous version, and one for the current version. It took me awhile to try to figure out why it contained more parts than the instructions contained, but then found the alternate instruction which were correct. It is fun and seems well made and sturdy. Have probably been used about 50+ times over the past 2 days and haven't had any issues. Just follow the instruction and you shouldn't have a problem. To make it easier for multiple ages to ride, we took off the provided seat, put a hook on it, so you can more easily take it off and on. We bought a Fisher Price toddler seat so younger kids can ride too and can easily be swapped out. Have fun!

Our kids love our zipline. My husband made it easy to install -he has some extra tools to help. The only issue we have it that over time the break seems to be getting less effective. It used to work great but now the kids almost hit the tree at the bottom. I'm thinking we might need to buy and extra break to double the stopping time.

I read reviews and specs on several ziplines before purchasing. I'd say I made a good choice. It was very well packed, all pieces there, good quality, although instructions are a bit confusing and in the wrong order. Luckily I had already read online about that and watched a few videos on putting one up. I did only have one tree I could use so installed two 2x12s cemented in the ground for the other end. It has worked perfectly. I would recommend no one use one without a brake. This brake works good and I can't imagine using it without it. I got the 75 ft one. You can measure out to a full 70 ft or even a bit more depending on your tree diameter. As another reviewer had mentioned, do be careful dismounting from the seat. Then tension on the rope causes it to pop up suddenly and will bop a child in the face.UPDATE for 2024: This is still an exceptional zipline, BUT, while this wasn't used here often at all, maybe 15 different days through the years, we used one afternoon and then went inside. When I came out the next day the line was lying on the ground! I knew there had been no storms, no wind, no rain, etc and was puzzled. Although every time I had my granddaughter on it I said a silent prayer that it would be fine, I never really expected this and was so thankful it didn't happen the day prior when she was zipping away on it. After I inspected the line I saw what had happened and want to warn others. While I know we are supposed to check the line and all fittings before each use, (who really has that much time and accessibility?), I only looked at the actual clamps on the lines periodically. What happened was that the sap from the oak tree on one end, (other end was attached to large lumber cemented in the ground), had eaten through the protective blue vinyl coating and all strands of the cable. Why it didn't come apart while she was on it I'll never know. Obviously this is something I should have been checking but it would have required actually taking the line down to find it. Just be aware that you need to watch for this. I don't know if all tree sap is that corrosive or not but I know now about this one. Just be safe and not sorry.
