Helping children to swing

A rope with a loop is threaded through the swing before the child climbs up on it – suitable for parents with disabilities who have young children

The rope allows a parent to get the swing moving from a greater distance away from the swing. The parent uses the long rope to pull the swing instead of pushing it.

I didn’t have to move out of the way of the swing and could remain in the same place regardless of the speed of the swing. The rope was rather thin (from a sailboat) and had a loop at one end.

The child can use an upside down bucket as a stepping stool to make it easier to climb into the swing independently.
