we have a 'grown up' swing

but dd3 lurves the baby swing at the park

you can get stand alone baby ones, right?

We have a regular TP frame that you can put at half height. We then just added a TP highback baby seat to it. All three dcs have loved it as babies and it is 6 years old and still looks like new.

Sorry, to answer your question it is a stand alone one. Goes into the ground with pegs. HTH

enid...they have tem in the argos catalogue...start at about £20 and go from 6mths to 3yrs i think

skirmish · 29/03/2007 11:30

tem= them

MintChocChippyMinton · 29/03/2007 11:31

we had one, always found it a little unstable. Do you have older DC? How about a frame as LD suggested, but at full height with a couple of swings - one baby seat and one for the older ones? We have a wooden TP one, looks nice too

stupidly we bought a wooden climbing set thingy with only one swing

there is a wooden one by Woodlands leisure which looks nice

pmsl - we're doing the same thing! Argos have one, mothercare have 2 - a wooden one, and a metal one that adjusts into a bigger one, Woolworths have one.

tortoiseSHELL · 30/03/2007 14:47

And I know what you mean about a 'lightbulb' moment. I've been racking my brains for ds2, then at a friend's house suddenly thought of a swing! I can't believe they're nearly 1.

excellente

are they in stock? the woodlands one takes a month

Do you have a link for the Woodlands one?

tigersEasterchick · 30/03/2007 14:51

Dd was given a hedstrom (sp?) one for her 1st. Comes with 'normal' seat and leg extentions too so is good 6mo to 10 years! It is a rather nasty blue and orange contraption but she loves it!

tortoiseSHELL · 30/03/2007 14:53

forget that, just found it! Looks very like the Mothercare one.

tigersEasterchick · 30/03/2007 14:55

Ours is sort of like the mothercare2 and woolworths ones. I wouldn't put dd in it high up tho as there is no strap between the legs until you do it up - like in a pushchair - so getting in and out is a bit precarious at times.
