15+ Parks with Mommy and Me Baby Swings

by Michele Whiteaker

Families are looking for parks with Mommy and Me baby swings, also known as Expression Swing by their manufacturer (GameTime). I like the Expression Swing because it puts the older rider at the same eye level as the baby or toddler.

Another manufacturer has a model called the Generation Swing (by Little Tykes Commercial).

The Generation Swing is also a tandem swinging experience, but the older rider is at a different eye level than the baby/toddler.

It also seems a bit more crowded and more straddling for an adult than the Expression Swing.

Another type of swing is the Friendship Swing (by Landscape Structures) found at only a few parks. These ones are described at “multi-user ADA inclusive.”

Finally, there is The Konnection Swing by BCI Burke which is built for a child sitting directly on the lap of a parent, but with back support so as not to fall off. (The ones with yellow bars in the photo below). Here’s a video of how the Konnection Swing works!

Now, obviously, these are NOT only for moms or mommies and babies. Obviously!

However, this is the term parents are using when they type their query into search engines. So, as a blogger, this is the best way for me to make sure this information reaches the greatest amount of searchers.

Even if I called them “Parent and Me” swings, then I’d be leaving out caregivers, grandparents, and siblings.

The best description I can think of is face to face tandem baby swings but then I’m also leaving out toddlers who are also able to fit in these swings.

So I think I’ve settled on my newly made-up name of Swing with Me Swings. It’s an invitation to all rather than excluding anyone or getting wrapped up in naming conventions. Let’s just get out there and PLAY!
