Clients can use this swing while sitting, prone or even on their backs, with no fear of falling, encouraging active movement. Using positioning aids, such as wedges or cushions, makes this a great swing to use with children who have decreased motor control. In addition, the soft fabric makes The Buddy Boat cozy and inviting for even your most tactile-defensive clients.
The large Dimensions make it suitable to hold several toddlers or pre-schoolers simultaneously, encouraging socialisation and cooperative play.
One end of The Buddy Boat is made of durable clear vinyl, so the children can see out and the therapist can see in. The see-through side can be lowered and stowed, allowing older children to use their hands or feet to obtain some great proprioceptive input.

If you are looking to have a Southpaw swing installed on a ceiling by anyone other than Southpaw UK engineers - then the installation of forged ceiling eyebolts is your responsibility, and must be to the proper specifications. We always recommend that you have the ceiling tested by a structural engineer to ensure that your ceiling can carry the appropriate working loads. Please read our Safety and Working Loads pages thoroughly. Other elements of safety include the layout of the clinic or therapy space, the implementation of a systematic equipment inspection program, proper matting, and personal protection.
