The following companies make Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association-certified swings: Dorel Juvenile Group (Safety 1st),
Fisher-Price, Graco, J. Mason, Kolcraft, and Simplicity. Swings are also covered by the federal safety standard for small
parts. Some models of baby swings have been recalled in recent years. Problems have included loose screws on the swing’s arm
support that caused the seat to separate and drop to one side, a seat that wasn’t properly attached, swing frames that weren’t
stable, frames or seats with sharp edges, harnesses that could entangle a child, and hazardous toys. One recalled model could
be easily disassembled, resulting in a loose seat that flipped forward. For a list of baby swing recalls, go to the CPSC Web
