But I enjoy pushing my girl on a swing. |
|
| |
Pushing a child on a swing should not be considered a waste of time or money. |
|
| |
but I thought it might make the child feel more grown up,
not having to have their mum pushing them all the time. |
|
| |
Doesn't work that way - they are being very grown up, controlling an adult. At least, I think that's how they see it. |
|
| |
also if the swing was auto , mum or dad could stand at the
front and see their childs happy face, instead of standing
behind all the time. I had this idea at a garden centre
when sitting in a garden swing, and thought it would be
far better if the swing worked on its own, far more
relaxing. |
|
| |
when I was little, and I was once, I liked the thought that I could do it myself. (of course I couldn't - I got nowhere on my own) however, I would not have wanted the thing to go mad so that I completed a full 360 degree swing. nice one gizmo, give them the option is a nice touch. |

Perhaps you should change the way you attack this idea. Put it forward that this way, you can swing on your own, without the need of a friend to push you. |
|
| |
You can stand at the front and push on the soles of their feet. Easy. |
|
| |
sctld: maybe I didn't do this right, auto/manual option
would be better.
drew: I never went for my mum pushing me from the front
because my legs were usually pointing forwards.
po: I never did that 360 thing buy it would be nice if
there was an option.
Slow - the bumps - and 360 , should be the settings. |
|
| |
The core idea (motorized swingset) is okay, but I don't want to pay for something I can get for free. Probably not a concept [gizmo] is familiar with - yet. |
|
| |
I never had a problem getting a swing going all by myself... |
|
| |
yeah, but look at the size of you! |
|
| |
I meant 'as a kid'. I was normal sized until I was 12... |
|
| |
This brings to mind one of those crank-up ratchetty baby swing thingies. That what you had in mind, giz? |
|
| |
I prefer the image of the parent gently pushing the child. Good bonding time. And photogenic too. |
|
| |
I can remember times when I sought out a swing only to have no adult to push me. I'm sure I would have been delighted to have had the facility of Gizmo's swing thing - but there is the possibility that I would never have learnt how to swing myself... |

My best friend's little girl - now almost 20 months old - has always loved the swings. When she got sick of those baby swings with the diaper-type seats, at about 14 months, she wanted to sit in the grown-up swings. They terrified her, but she wanted them anyway. |
|
| |
I love the memory of that ... the tiny child on the big swing, gripping the chains like grim death, gritting her little teeth and saying grimly, "Wheee ... wheee ..." |
|
| |
I'd pay for an auto-swing, just to be able to see that again. And to catch her if she fell, of course. |
|
| |
I thought this was an idea for open minded couples to enjoy a rate based group...Oh never mind. |
