Have you ever watched a child happily play on a backyard swing set? If you have, you probably cringed as the swing set tipped precariously back and forth.

Nearly one million steel backyard swing sets are sold each year in the United States alone. Of these, only a small fraction are properly anchored. Amazingly, even less are properly padded. Many Americans like to maintain some level of mobility in their swing set. Reasons for this range from wanting to be able to move the swing set while mowing the lawn to preventing unsightly wear patterns in the grass from children and pets. What's more, if people stopped to consider the probability of a child's headlong collision with a steel swing leg, we would see a lot more pads on swing sets. It is for these reasons a mom and dad design team have invented a new patent pending water filled swing safety system called - SwingSafe.

SwingSafe is a simple and economical solution to the dangerous movement of the backyard swing set. This water filled ballast is designed to help prevent your metal swing set from tipping during operation. It requires little assembly, it is easy to use and it can be attached to a swing set in a matter of minutes.

Not only does SwingSafe help prevent the swing set from tipping during use, but its water filled padding also helps prevent injury due to impact with the structure of the swing. The soft padding poses no danger to children playing on or around the swing set. SwingSafe also makes the swing set easily mobile for lawn mowing and preventing unattractive swing patterns in the grass.

Manufacturers have strict warning notices inside the swing set box regarding anchoring the swing set before operation. The choices provided are: cementing the swing set legs permanently into the ground or purchasing metal anchors to fasten the swing set to the ground. Both of these solutions are daunting, undesirable and impractical for the average consumer. They also prevent swing mobility.

Cementing the swing set makes it a permanent fixture; when the consumer moves, the swing set stays. Also, it can be difficult for some to do cement work and therefore, a professional may have to assist, at an additional cost to the consumer.

Metal anchors are difficult, cumbersome and time consuming to install. The average swing set customer does not consider metal anchors to be a mobile solution. Metal anchors pose a threat to sprinkler systems and the exposed metal tops can be dangerous to children at play on or around the swing.

Neither of the existing solutions simultaneously pad the legs of the swing set for added safety. Therefore, SwingSafe is a safe, economical and convenient method for protecting a child at play on a swing set.
