Problems solved by technology
Toddler swings are available to purchase but they are not portable, they are large and made from hard plastic, and they are not for installing on public playgrounds.I, Jean Ann Mead, invented the Portable Swing Adaptor so that toddlers and small children can have extra support on a typical playground swing.
