Will toddler grow out of being distressed by trains and swings etc?

DD was absolutely fine going on swings at the playground and going on trains, until she was about 15-16 months old. Since then, she’s become very distressed by them. It’s been a few months now and she’s coming up to two years old.

I just wondered whether, if this is a phase, how long it will be until she’s happy to go on them again? I’m trying to plan some weekend breaks for the summer holidays and so wondering whether to avoid places that advertise playgrounds and miniature railways!

I wonder if it’s something to do with the motion?

Yes, it might be?

Is there any way to help that do you know? It’s quite limiting to think we can’t go on trains, boats, buses, planes etc!
