Commercial Playground Swings

There are many different swing designs for children of varying ages and abilities. Consider the following types of swings for your playground:

1. Bucket Swings

Bucket swing seats are a reliable option for kids who are young or are still getting used to the motion of swinging. This type of swing often features a high back and leg holes to provide a secure fit and support for sitting upright. Because this type of swing is meant for younger kids — typically ages 2 to 5 — and is designed for safe swinging, parents and caregivers have to help kids get in and out of the seat.

2. Belt Swings

Belt swing seats are among the most commonly used types of swings. The belt seats are easy to sit in because the seat is flexible and bends when it’s sat in. Playground visitors from kids to teenagers and adults love this traditional swing design.

3. Flat Swings

Flat seats are similar to belt seats, though flat seats are made to remain stiff instead of flexing to the user’s body. Although flat seats require a bit more balance, they offer the same amount of fun.

4. Tire Swings

Made using a whole tire, tire swings are a staple in many commercial playgrounds and even in backyard playsets. In commercial playgrounds, a tire is hung horizontally using at least three chains so kids can sit around the edge with their legs down through the middle of the tire. Depending on the size of the tire, multiple kids are often able to swing at the same time.

5. Basket Swings

Also known as saucers or web swings, basket swings are designed for multiple children to enjoy at the same time. A large ring covered with netting or mesh creates a comfortable and secure seat for swinging. From toddlers to preteens, kids of all ages will love swinging with their siblings and friends on a basket swing.

6. Raft Swings

Raft swings are similar to tire swings because they offer a larger seat to swing on. This swing option is meant for multiple riders to encourage social play. The Little Tikes Commercial raft swing looks like a water raft in swing form, which can add a unique swing component to your playground.

7. Inclusive Swings

Inclusive swing seats enable kids of all ability levels to join in on the fun. This type of swing looks like a chair with a high back and often features a safety harness to help stabilize users who need extra support.

8. Standing Swings

Some swing seats are actually for your feet! Standing swings like the Little Tikes Commercial Freestyler swing are designed for kids to safely stand while experiencing the movement of swinging. Swing options like this are exciting and allow kids to pretend they’re surfing or snowboarding!

9. Generation Swings

A generation swing seat is for adults and kids, allowing them to swing face-to-face. This swing gives parents and caregivers a way to immerse themselves in their child’s play and engage with each other on the playground.
