The device described in the manual is the b4Adventure Adventure Sky Swing.

Function Description:

The Adventure Sky Swing is a recreational outdoor swing designed for children aged 3 and up, with a maximum weight capacity of 300 lb (136 kg). It provides a swinging experience, allowing users to sit or lie on a fabric swing cover supported by a circular metal frame. The swing can be attached to an overhead structure, such as a sturdy tree limb or a dedicated swing support, using adjustable hanging ropes and delta clips. It is intended for home playground use and requires adult supervision and proper installation to ensure safety. The swing's design allows for either a 1-point attachment, resulting in circular motion, or a 2-point attachment, resulting in lateral motion perpendicular to the support structure.
