The Spider Web Nest Swing offers a spacious, dynamic, and sensory-rich experience designed to engage multiple children at once. With a 100cm diameter and a weight capacity of up to 100kg, this swing is ideal for promoting social play, sensory regulation, and motor development. Perfect for children aged 3 and up, this swing provides a safe, enjoyable, and therapeutic sensory experience for children with varying sensory needs.

Key Occupational Therapy Benefits:

• Vestibular Input: The gentle swinging and spinning motions of the Spider Web Nest Swing provide valuable vestibular stimulation, which is crucial for sensory integration. This input can help children regulate sensory processing, promote calming effects, and support emotional regulation. The spinning motion enhances dynamic input, which can be especially helpful for children with ADHD or sensory processing disorders (SPD) who require regulation or alerting input.

• Proprioceptive Awareness: The deep and rhythmic movements of the swing also provide proprioceptive input, helping children develop body awareness and improve balance and coordination. This type of input enhances motor control and postural stability, key for gross motor development.

• Social Interaction: With its large, open seat, this swing can comfortably accommodate multiple children, encouraging cooperative play, turn-taking, and peer interaction. These social experiences promote the development of social-emotional skills, such as communication, empathy, and group cooperation.

• Safe and Comfortable Seating: The padded seat ring ensures that children have a soft and secure seating experience, reducing the risk of discomfort or injury. The steel inner tubing offers stability and support for a safe swinging experience.

Key Features:

• Spacious Design: The swing's 100cm wide seat provides ample space for multiple children, allowing them to sit, lie down, or even recline while enjoying the gentle motion. This design fosters shared play and encourages collaborative interaction.

• Sensory Benefits: The swing’s gentle motion provides essential vestibular input, which can help children regulate their sensory needs. The action of swinging promotes relaxation, reduces anxiety, and helps children achieve sensory balance, particularly beneficial for children with autism, ADHD, or anxiety.

• Sturdy and Durable: The swing is constructed with a padded seat ring for comfort and safety and features steel inner tubing that supports up to 100kg. The swing is designed to withstand regular use, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor play areas.

• Weight Capacity: The swing comfortably supports a combined weight of up to 100kg, allowing multiple children to enjoy the swinging experience together.

• Age Range: This swing is recommended for children aged 3 and older, providing a safe, fun, and versatile swinging experience that can be enjoyed by a wide range of ages.

Hanging and Setup:

• Adjustable Height: The Spider Web Nest Swing can be hung using tree straps or a play-set, with an adjustable hanging length ranging from 120cm to 160cm (excluding tree straps). This allows you to customize the swing's height based on the available space and the user's height or sensory needs.

• Hanging Options: The swing can be hung with one strap for a more dynamic spinning motion, or with two straps for a more stable forward-and-backward swing. This customization lets you adjust the swing's movement based on the child’s sensory preferences and comfort levels.

• Safety Considerations: When setting up, ensure that the swing is positioned low enough to reduce the risk of falls and that the surface beneath the swing is soft and safe, such as grass or rubber matting. Check the stability and security of the setup before allowing children to use the swing.

Why is This Swing Ideal for Therapeutic and Social Play?

It’s an excellent tool for sensory integration therapy, helping children develop better body awareness, balance, and coordination.
