Hi everyone,

I recently bought a sensory swing for my kids and need some advice on how to mount it safely in my basement.

The kit came with four wood screws, a hook, and a carabiner. I’m trying to figure out the best place to install the hook, should it go directly into a 2x4 ceiling joist, or into the wooden paneling between the joists?

I’m also a bit concerned about splitting the wood. Will drilling four screws into a 2x4 cause it to crack?

If anyone has experience installing one of these, I’d appreciate some guidance on the proper and safest way to mount it.

Thanks in advance!
