Abstract: A play swing is selectively configurable for mounting to swing in different modes of operation, such as swiveling or circling movement and for back-and-forth movement.

Abstract: A child's play swing has a seat with a base panel defining a seating surface, side panels joined to the base panel along its side edges, and a back panel joined to the base panel along its back edge, together defining a swing volume for receiving and supporting a child during swinging. The base panel defines a pocket, and the swing includes a seating surface stiffener sized for removable placement within the pocket. In a first condition, with the seating surface stiffener removed from the pocket, the seat has are a relatively more pliable seating surface that forms about the body surface of a child placed within the swing volume, as suited for an infant unable to sit up on its own. In a second condition, with the seating surface stiffener installed within the pocket, the seat has a relatively more stiff seating surface that supports the body surface of a child placed within the swing volume without deflection, as suited for a toddler able to sit up on its own.
