Thanks for offering a real solution. I appreciate it.
The chair is actually a therapy “swing” recommend by my kid’s therapist. We have a door jam gym that works for now, but they’re getting big for the area so I was hoping to install somewhere else. I don’t want to give up that much real estate for an appropriate freestanding mount.
I have a few ideas on how I can install it, I just need to research load limits.

Gotcha. This is why I stopped before I really got started. I didn’t think it would work, and I tried researching it online but came up empty. I did see a cross section of different joists, and thought “umm, I don’t think that will hold.”

I'm renting... but every time I've asked questions, they just shrug and say they don't know.
I've lived here for almost 4 years, and they do yearly inspections. I've never been questioned on anything in the past.
I asked a builder about this, and he said used toggles, but I didn't trust that which is why I asked here.
