The KBT plastic "DUO SEAT," also known as a "back-to-back glider swing," is a unique piece of playground equipment designed to promote social interaction, gross motor development, and sensory integration in children.
Social Interaction:
Cooperative Play: The "back-to-back" design encourages cooperative play and social interaction between two children as they work together to initiate and maintain the swinging motion.
Turn-Taking: Children must coordinate their movements and take turns to initiate and control the swing.
Gross Motor Skills:
Core Strength: Actively propelling the swing requires core strength and coordination.
Upper Body Strength: Children utilize their upper body strength to initiate and maintain the swinging motion.
Coordination: Coordinating movements with a partner to achieve a smooth and synchronized swinging motion enhances coordination and timing.
Sensory Integration:
Vestibular Input: The swinging motion provides dynamic vestibular stimulation, enhancing balance, coordination, and spatial awareness.
Proprioceptive Input: The act of pushing and pulling to initiate the swing provides proprioceptive input, which can enhance body awareness and sensory regulation.
Play and Engagement:
Intrinsic Motivation: The active participation in propelling the swing increases intrinsic motivation and engagement in physical activity.
The KBT plastic "DUO SEAT" is a valuable tool for promoting social interaction, developing gross motor skills, and enhancing sensory integration in children. It encourages active play and provides a unique and engaging play experience

My therapist introduced me to weighted soft toys; they have the tan collie. My soft black & white collie sheepdog is providing comfort throughout day & night. I so desperately needed this! Ended up writing a song about collie and our real pups. As a 50 yo woman in recovery, really appreciate it. Thank you.

Tulip the cat- what a cutie!
Tulip the weighted cat has given my daughter such joy and comfort. Her cute little face is cheeky in fun times and compassionate in sad times. She has been a great companion to my daughter during a hospital stay.
Chew disc pop it.

Great Product!
Hello TS,
How lovely to receive this email from you.
I was also thrilled to realise that you are an Australian company.
My daughter here on our grain property - -whose boys are at boarding school, both with weighted plush toys for comfort while away from home - sent me your details.
I was so happy to find that you had a lamb as I had been looking, but obviously not in the right place! 😊
As unusual as it might sound, this one is for me!! (Age 77) I wanted a reminder each day of how a lamb is cared for by the shepherd, particularly in countries where this is still the case. So thank you for being the “answer” to my personal quest.
Regards, Beth

Awesome lil bouncer!
We bought this to replace our animal happy hopper, which was getting too small. We love that it has handles. Great way to expend energy during TV time!
