Abstract

This invention clasps onto a standard chain swing, converting it into a toddler swing. The apparatus has a cloth seat that supports the child across the back, under the arms, and both sides of the upper chest. A chest strap of nylon webbing is sewn into the seat across the back. This chest strap is adjustable and connects via a locking 3-point release safety clasp. The 3-point release safety clasp is attached to an adjustable crotch strap that is sewn into the seat, from the base of the seat to the center back of the seat. There is an additional side strap made of nylon webbing that is sewn into the seat from the right side of the device, down the inside of the seat, over the crotch strap, and up the left side of the seat. This side strap has an adjustable loop on both sides, wherein a steel clasp link is used to attach the device to a standard chain swing. An adjustable strap on the underside of the cloth seat is then secured with a side release clasp to the seat of the standard chain swing, ensuring the child will not slip off the standard chain swing seat.

Additionally, many cities keep their local school parks open for use as public playgrounds; there is no need for a toddler swing at an elementary school park. For this reason, a parent or guardian needs something that easily stores in a diaper bag or strol...
