This is a bad, bad, bad idea. Those kinds of tie down rings are not designed or rated for lifting or suspending humans. And the idea of stringing up a suspension bar between them? Rope stretches. Even climbing rope. There's no way you're going to get it tight enough that it's not going to sag.

If you don't want to purchase a suspension tripod, you can build your own A-frame pretty easily and inexpensively using swingset brackets.

Get those, and some 4x4's and a 4x6 and you can build an A-frame that will be more than suitable for the load.

well then riddle me this! I purchased some brackets to make a swing set for my kids (https://www.amazon.com/Frame-Brackets-Complete-Mounting-Hardware/dp/B01M28VV0N/ref=sr_1_12?keywords=eastern+swing&qid=1555638619&s=gateway&sr=8-12). Where should I buy my lumber for it? Recs for specific types of wood... redwood?

I have this: Eastern Jungle Gym Easy 1-2-3... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M28VV0N?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I like it a lot because it's cheap and I can use bamboo with it, which is a taste thing. It's a bit annoying to move, but it's strong and cheap and I've never gotten the ceiling with it.

Just as an FYI, most permanent hardpoint installations require bolt holes that can be easily patched if you are in a rental. Before you conclude that it's definitely not possible, first learn how to do a permanent installation, and then see if that's right for your setup.

I've seen quite a few portable ones. You can do a reasonable one with swingset brackets, using 4x4s for the legs, and a 4x6 for the horizontal crossbar. Here's an example of the brackets I'm talking about: https://www.amazon.com/Frame-Brackets-Complete-Mounting-Hardware/dp/B01M28VV0N

I've rigged on both those portable swingset designs as well as purpose-built metal suspension tripods, and I actually prefer the swingset designs because they are heavier and more stable. All of the suspension tripods I've used have a lot of movement in them.

Depending on how much room you have inside for a swing and how heavy toddler is... I think something like this is the best you're going to find.

The smaller baby swings aren't made to hold more than 25 or 30 pounds, typically. My 15 month old is 24 pounds and 47% for weight, so beyond a year and a half most toddlers are just too heavy.

ETA - What about... if you have something to anchor it to (a door jamb, maybe? an exposed beam?)... something like this?
