Swings  are a classic outdoor toy that most children love, and some parents like to build their own! But how old do kids need to be to make a suitable swing?

In fact, swings are the most basic and popular piece of playground equipment that can keep your young ones engaged for hours. Not only are they fun for kids of all ages, but they also provide countless opportunities for cognitive, physical, and social development. But children of different ages need different swings. No set of swings can meet the needs of children of all ages. Some swings are basic, while others are too advanced. For your child's safety, you need to understand what kind of swing is suitable for your child.

The way your child plays on the swing will automatically change as they age and develop.

Children under six months of age are not allowed to use swings at all. Children under 6 years old do not have the ability to sit upright and maintain stable control of their heads. If you want to buy a swing for children under 6 years old, you need to buy a professional swing specially designed for babies.

For children after 6 months old, you can choose a bucket swing with a slightly higher backrest. Children this age can sit upright. Bucket swings with a somewhat higher backrest have bucket seats designed for infants and toddlers and provide good back and torso support. Although bucket seats are designed to keep babies upright, but still require close supervision.

For slightly older children, you can choose a high-back plastic swing seat. This swing seat is designed to provide more arm and leg freedom than an infant bucket swing seat. It is also equipped with a safety strap to prevent children from falling.

After the age of two, children develop new skills and want to try many new things. Typically, children in this age group love jumping, sliding, creeping, and doing anything they think will excite them.
