Professional swing seat change - swapping baby seats for flat seats as children grow, replacing worn seats, or adjusting heights. Secure attachment and proper chain length for safe swinging.
Children Grow, Seats Change
That baby bucket seat is great for toddlers. But eventually they need a flat seat - and fitting it properly matters. Chains at the right length, attachments secure, no pinch points.
💡 Pro tip: When moving to a flat seat, lower the height - children need to be able to touch the ground with their feet to control the swing.

🔧 DIY Tips
Changing yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Replacement seat
- Carabiners (if not included)
- Pliers
- Tape measure
📐 Safe fitting
- Check frame can take new seat weight
- Use proper carabiners, not rope knots
- Adjust chains to correct height for child
- Check for pinch points at all connections
- Test with weight before child uses
- Check chains aren't twisted
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Rope attachments that can slip
- Seat too high for child
- Pinch points where chains connect
- Not checking chain condition
💡 Pro trick: The right seat height means the child can touch the ground with their toes when seated. This lets them control the swing and get off safely.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
⛓️ Check the chains - while changing seats, check chain condition. Rusty or worn links are a failure point. Replace if in doubt.
Seat progression:
- Baby bucket seat (6 months - 2 years)
- Toddler seat with straps (2-4 years)
- Flat seat (4+ years)
- Nest swing (any age)
While you're at it:
- Check frame stability
- Inspect chains for rust
- Check ground anchoring
- Test all fixings
Frequently Asked Questions
What swing seats can you fit?
All types - baby bucket seats, toddler harness seats, flat seats, nest swings, tyre swings. Whatever fits your frame, we can swap and secure properly.
Can you adjust the height too?
Yes - the right height depends on the child's age. We adjust chains or ropes so the seat is at the correct height for safe swinging.
What if the chains are rusty?
We can replace chains at the same time if needed. Old rusty chains are a weak point - they can fail suddenly.
Can you fit two different seats?
If your frame has space for multiple swings, we can fit different seats for different ages - baby seat on one side, flat seat on the other.
