Compared to the conventional board swing, this type of swing offers clear advantages, but the alternatives are not always of equal importance.
Due to the large footprint of the nest swing, it offers space for at least two small children even in its smallest size.
An alternative would be the double swing, where two children sit opposite each other. However, the freedom of movement known from the bird's nest swing is clearly missing here. Because of this, a completely new version of the swing has also been created.
Here, children can swing together while standing at the edge and move parallel to the direction of the swing. The only alternative is a custom-made version of the usual board swing with prefabricated foot recesses. However, since no reinforced chains are used as suspension here, parents are less likely to see their children standing on the swing.
The net swing offers a nice alternative to the strenuous swinging because of the possibility to lie down. This aspect is especially useful for babies or toddlers. A possible alternative for this are only the previously known baby cradles, which are much more restricted in their movement.
