A sensory swing is a therapeutic tool for kids who need a quick way to calm down. Children with sensory issues can ride the swing to help themselves self-regulate. The sensory swing consists of a suspended seat that envelops the child's body in a cozy, secure way. It can be gently rocked or swung from side to side, creating a repetitive, rhythmic motion.

An arching suspension creates a natural cocoon-like enclosure instead of flat vertical hanging. Suspension from three points equalizes weight distribution and prevents spinning. Long S-hooks or carabiners allow full 360-degree rotation at the top.
