Baby Swings

Baby swings can be unsafe for two reasons:

Strangulation
  • This can occur if child slips into leg openings or if child becomes entangled in the harness straps.

There is a risk of injury from falling if:
  • Handles break during use
  • Infants push themselves up and over the back of the seat
  • Straps become unfastened or separate from buckles
  • Handles on seat unlock unexpectedly
  • Latch on carrying handle unexpectedly releases and causes the seat to flip forward
  • Screws loosen, causing the seat to fall
