The frog swing supports children in a prone (stomach-down) position using a comfortable lined sling. During use, the child actively leaps and bounces on their hands and feet. This movement helps build strength, coordination, and confidence through controlled sensory input.
Therapists often use the frog swing with children who show low muscle tone or gravitational insecurity, as it encourages safe movement while improving body awareness.
Key Features & Benefits

Children use their hands and feet to leap and bounce. This activity strengthens muscles and improves motor planning.
Benefits Gravitationally Insecure Children
The frog swing helps children who feel uneasy with movement. It allows them to explore motion in a safe and supported way.
Improves Balance and Coordination
Repeated bouncing and weight shifting improve balance, coordination, and postural control.
Enhances Sensory Integration
The swing provides vestibular and proprioceptive input. This input supports sensory processing and body awareness.
