Swings for children: guide to choosing and positioning
Before your child can swing, you should find an optimal position for the swing. When choosing, you will have to make sure that you have enough space to push yourself and to jump down. A word of advice: we suggest that you choose a space where the soil is soft enough. If you can't find a suitable ground, you can put fall arrest mats or create a carpet of sand at least 30 cm high.
