This Tripod Stand offers a unique and engaging play environment for children, promoting the development of key occupational therapy goals.

Key Features:

• Versatility:

  • Accommodates a Wide Range of Swings: The large size (260x260x260cm base) accommodates a variety of swing types, including nest swings, pod swings, and wrap swings, promoting diverse play experiences.
  • Easy Swing Swapping: The chain and carabiner system allows for easy and quick changes between different swings, promoting variety and engagement.

• Safety and Stability:

  • Open Base Design: The open base design eliminates obstacles beneath the swing, facilitating safe mounting and dismounting and reducing the risk of injury.
  • Ground Anchoring: The inclusion of standard pegs (with the option for stronger spiral pegs) allows for secure ground anchoring, enhancing stability and safety, particularly in windy conditions.

• Design Considerations:

  • Weather Resistance: The powder-coated steel construction ensures durability and weather resistance for long-term outdoor use.
  • Integrated Swivel: The integrated swivel allows for rotational movement, providing additional sensory input and enhancing the play experience.

Therapeutic Potential:

• Gross Motor Skills:

  • Strength: Swinging on the stand promotes the development of upper body strength, core strength, and shoulder stability.
  • Coordination: Coordinating movements to swing safely and efficiently requires fine and gross motor coordination and dynamic balance.

• Sensory Integration:

  • Vestibular Input: The swinging motion provides dynamic vestibular stimulation, enhancing balance, coordination, and spatial awareness.
  • Proprioceptive Input: Gripping the swing and maneuvering within the swing provides proprioceptive input, which enhances body awareness and sensory regulation.

• Play and Engagement:

  • Intrinsic Motivation: The versatility of the stand and the ability to use different swings promotes intrinsic motivation for children to engage in physical activity.
  • Occupational Performance: This stand enhances a child's ability to participate in play activities and develop gross motor skills, which are crucial aspects of occupational performance.

Important Considerations:

• Weight Limit: The 80kg weight limit is suitable for most children and adolescents.
• Swinging Intensity: The stand is best suited for gentle to moderate swinging to avoid contact with the side poles.
• Floor Protection (Indoor Use): If used indoors, consider placing protective padding under the legs to prevent damage to flooring.
