swings (22,700 offers*)

First and foremost, swinging is simply fun and this is mainly due to the feeling of weightlessness. The little ones get a tingling in the belly, which simply makes them happy.
Not only does it make the little ones feel happy, but it also trains their motor skills. The sense of balance, coordination of movement, orientation and body awareness are trained by swinging.
In addition, they play in the fresh air, which strengthens their immune system.
In addition, the movement is calming, so that children concentrate on the swing and are not distracted by other things.

This depends on the variant of the swing. Basically, babies already have a lot of fun on the swing, because the movement reminds them of life in the womb.
You can therefore buy a baby swing which has a safety bar, a harness and a high backrest. With these safety features, even the littlest ones will have a blast swinging.
But even with this equipment, babies should only swing as soon as they can sit on their own. This is usually the case from the age of eight to twelve months. For the time before that, a baby bouncer for newborns is an option. Experience has shown that babies really enjoy lying in it and gently moving up and down. At this age, however, it is definitely necessary for you to stand by as a supervisor in case anything happens.
For older children, there are of course swings that are tailored to their age. These usually differ in the type of swing seats or bars and are usually recommended by manufacturers from the age of three.

Here too, of course, the variant of the swing plays a major role. Baby swings can usually withstand a load of up to 25 kilograms. A conventional board swing can withstand between 50 and 70 kilograms.
If you want your swing to withstand even more weight, I advise you to buy a gondola or nest swing. These variants carry between 50 and 100 kilograms and between 100 and 200 kilograms respectively.

If you only want to buy a swing board and two ropes, you only need to hang them on a stable branch of a tree or something similar. The swing board and ropes are usually attached with steel rings so that the construction can withstand the rigors of swinging.
However, if you choose a swing frame, you should find a suitable place for it before you buy it. This should ideally be in the shade and have a soft surface such as sand or grass. I also advise you to make sure that the swing frame is at least one meter away from the sides and at least three meters away from plants, walls or similar in the direction of the swing. Otherwise the danger is too great that the children will run in the direction of the swing and be knocked over by the swing.
Mounting a swing frame does not necessarily require a concrete foundation at each post. Often it is sufficient to fasten them with ground anchors or ground sockets that can be screwed in.

It is best to use wood that is also used for buildings and outdoor construction, such as larch. Furthermore, I recommend that you make sure that the wood is highly pressure impregnated. This gives the material a longer durability and protects it from the weather in summer and winter.
In order for your children to enjoy their new swing for a long time, it is also extremely important to maintain the wooden frame. Otherwise, despite the high-pressure impregnation, it will rot and possibly collapse.

On the one hand, you need to allow enough space at the sides and to the front and back. On the other hand, it is also important that you do not mount the swing too close to the swing frame so that your children do not always bump into it and hurt themselves.
A good guideline is the length of the rope plus a distance of two metres. This way you can be on the safe side and your children can play freely.
The swing should be at least one metre away from the sides. Children like to turn in with the swing rope and start swinging. If the swing is then placed too close to the frame, accidents can easily occur.
