toddlers, swings with leg holes support the child
in an upright position while a parent or sibling
pushes the child to get a swinging motion. Some
swing sets include play items other than swings
such as a rope ladder or sliding pole. For older
children, swings are sometimes made of a flexible
canvas seat, of rubberized ventilated tire tread,
of plastic, or of wood. A common backyard sight
is of a wooden plank suspended on both sides by
ropes from a tree branch. Older children can go
much higher, sometimes over 15 feet (5 m) above
the ground. In the United States, some adults go
