Liberty Swings

The Liberty Swings are an Australian invention. They enable people using wheelchairs to experience the enjoyment of swinging.

These swings have become a popular activity with children using both electric and manual chairs.

Liberty Swings are safe and easy to use - carefully follow the instructions provided.

The swings requires a carer to ensure that the chair is attached securely. A carer can push the swing or, depending on the dexterity of the user, the swing can be manually operated.
