SWING CENTRAL!

What is a SENSORY SWING?

Any swing can be considered a sensory swing. The swinging motion itself is what develops kids’ vestibular sense or sense of balance. Different types of sensory swings can be used to target specific vestibular receptors through their pattern of movement.

Saucer Swings

Children find this type fun and versatile because they can lie down, sit, or stand, taking in different sensory input.

Don’t Forget!

Our HugglePods® and HangOuts® are also great ways to create a quiet retreat for kids to call their own. See p.118-127.

Platform Swings

This type of swing is commonly used in occupational therapy. The firm support allows little ones to comfortably lie down on their tummy. The swinging motion while the child is in this position is a sensory integration treatment technique. It can also hold multiple children for shared fun.

Our innovative tree swings turn backyards into playgrounds! From multi-functional to over-sized fun, find the most unique collection of backyard swings right here.

Cocoon or Stretchy Swings

If your child loves big hugs and cozy spaces, this is the perfect swing. The stretchy fabric will envelop the child, providing calming proprioceptive sensations from the fabric pushing against the body. The child can stretch out or curl in when they need a quiet retreat.

Side-to-Side Swings

This type of swing challenges kids differently to improve balance, coordination, motor planning, and core strength.
