The Powder-Coated Swing Set Stand is designed to complement sensory swings, such as the wrap swing and nest swings, offering a stable and versatile setup for therapeutic activities. With its 260cm width and 206cm depth, this multi-purpose stand can accommodate a variety of swings, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor therapeutic settings.

Therapeutic Benefits:

• Sensory Regulation: The wrap swing included in this set is especially beneficial for children with sensory processing challenges. It provides deep pressure input that can help soothe an overstimulated nervous system, which is especially helpful for children with autism and those seeking sensory input.
• Vestibular and Proprioceptive Input: The swing’s motion provides important vestibular stimulation, promoting balance, coordination, and spatial awareness. The snug fit of the wrap swing also offers proprioceptive input, helping children feel grounded and secure.
• Core Strength & Body Awareness: The swing encourages children to engage their core muscles as they adapt to the movement, which is beneficial for strength development and improving body awareness.

Key Features:

• Size: The stand supports a variety of swings and is large enough to hold the included green wrap swing comfortably. The swing’s size is spacious enough for an adult to fully lay inside, and can accommodate children with some material overlap. It is recommended for children aged 3+, though smaller children should use it under supervision for safety.

• Wrap Swing Material: Made from smooth, strong, and slightly stretchy nylon fabric, the wrap swing provides a gentle, cocoon-like experience that promotes relaxation and calming for children with sensory needs. The fabric is also weather-resistant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use; however, to prolong its lifespan, it should be stored out of direct sunlight and rain when not in use.

Usage and Setup:

• Hanging Options: The swing can be hung from either 1 or 2 points, depending on the desired tightness and movement pattern. Hanging from 1 point will allow the swing to wrap tightly and spin, while hanging from 2 points provides a more open feel with forward-backward movement.
• Carabiner and Adjustable Hanging: The set includes 2 large carabiners for easy hanging and adjustment. Double knotting the swing ensures stability and prevents the smooth material from slipping.

Stand Accessories and Versatility:

• Additional Accessories: The set includes 3 mini-straps with carabiners and 1 mini-strap with swivel for added versatility, allowing you to hang different swings, such as the 150cm nest swing, from the stand (additional swings sold separately). This makes the stand adaptable for various therapeutic activities.
• Durability: The stand is weather-resistant and can be used indoors or outdoors in spaces such as playrooms, verandahs, or yards, providing flexibility for different environments.

Safety and Supervision:

• Age Range: The set is ideal for children aged 3+. Smaller children should always use the swing under adult supervision to ensure safe entry and exit, with a soft surface underneath for added safety.

Popular Among Therapists:

• This swing set is highly popular among occupational therapists due to the calming and soothing effects of the wrap swing, which is especially helpful for children with autism. The snug, secure sensation helps regulate sensory input, promoting relaxation and emotional regulation.

Maintenance:

• Easy Setup and Storage: The swing and stand setup is designed for easy use. The swing can be quickly taken down and stored without needing constant adjustments.
• Cleaning: The nylon wrap swing is easy to clean and maintain, making it a durable and practical addition to therapy environments.
