Where can I get a more babyish swing seat for my existing swing frame?

Hi girls,
I've been very kindly given my friends old ELC swing and frame. The swing is just the normal bar seat but Lottie won't be able to use that for a while so I want to get a slightly safer seat for her.
(she's 2.5 but due to the fact that she is Down's syndrome she is smaller than most, not walking and not really down with the whole holding on / danger thing)

I know they sell the really babyish ones in ELC but I wondered if there was one inbetween the two.

I did see one once in a brochure but seem to have thrown it away and it was inbetween the 2 types that ELC do and cheaper as well.

Any ideas?

I have a lovely First steps one if you want it. it is blue and shaped like a dolphin. My dd who is 4 1/2 still fits in it but because we have moved we have no room for a swing. Do you want me to find out how much postage would be?

Really Fio? That sounds pretty fab tbh. I don't want to put you to any trouble though. If it's not a massive pain finding out about postage, when you have a sec that would be GREAT. Thank you SO much.

oops impatience!

The ELC Cosy swing seat is great actually. The T Bar slides up the ropes to allow easy access and this makes it good for larger children too. DS1 (5) still uses it as we've not got round to changing it for the proper one!

My PILs have the ELC one for DD's swing there. DD is 2y 3m. It really is good. As already said i think, the T bar comes right up, so it makes getting in and out of the seat really easy. ASnd there is quite a lot of room in there still for further growth.

I would really recommend it. When we looked around it seemed to be one of the most versatile and sturdiest around.

I would have a look at the ELC one again too. We've got the double frame with one of each seats for our two but DD (a large 5) can still fit in the baby one. Access is great and at least you will know that it will all be compatible as you have the frame already.
