RULE §746.4703Are there additional safety requirements for bucket swings designed for tots?

Yes. Bucket swings are intended for use by children under four years of age with an adult present to lift and secure the child into the swing. Therefore, the distance between the protective surfacing and the bottom of a bucket swing must be at least 24 inches. This will minimize the likelihood of unsupervised young children climbing into the swing.
