Collection: Swing

A swing set gives kids and childrens swing fun with classic backyard play, and the right one suits their age and your space. A toddler needs an enclosed bucket seat; an older child a standard seat; for the garden, a swing for kids, a family may want a frame with several swings and a slide. The key is a sturdy, well-anchored frame and a soft surface underneath for the inevitable falls. Think about the children's ages, how many swing at once, and the space you have.

What swing seat suits your child's age?

The seat should match the child's age and ability:

• Bucket seat: an enclosed seat that holds a baby or toddler securely on all sides.
• Standard flat seat: for an older child who can hold on and balance.
• Nest or basket swing: a large round seat for lying, sitting or sharing, good for a range of ages.
• Combination frame: several seat types plus a slide, for a family of mixed ages.

What is a garden swing for kids?

A garden swing kids love is a backyard swing set with one or more seats on a sturdy frame, sized and built for children. It gives classic outdoor play, with seat types from enclosed toddler buckets to flat seats for older kids, set on soft ground with clear space to swing.

How do you set up a swing set safely?

A swing set must be stable and have clear space to swing. Anchor the frame firmly into the ground with the ground anchors or footings provided, since a swing can rock and lift a light frame as a child swings high. Leave clear space in front and behind the swing, at least double the swing's height, so a child can't hit a fence, wall or another child. Put a soft surface underneath — grass, soft-fall or bark, not concrete — since falls happen. Space multiple swings apart so children don't collide. A well-anchored frame with clear space and soft ground is the safe setup.

Common questions

What age can a baby use a swing?
A baby can use an enclosed bucket swing once they can sit up with support, usually around 9 months, always supervised. Older children who can hold on use a standard flat seat.

How do I anchor a swing set?
Fix the frame into the ground with the ground anchors or concrete footings provided. A swing rocks the frame as a child swings high, so a light unanchored frame can lift or tip.

How much space does a swing need?
Clear space in front and behind of at least double the swing's height, so a child can't hit a fence, wall or person. Space multiple swings apart to avoid collisions.

What goes under a swing set?
A soft surface — grass, soft-fall matting or bark — not concrete or pavers, since children fall from swings. The surface underneath is what reduces injury.
