Thanks for your response! >>I have a chair hammock, it is the coolest thing and

Buster absolutely

loves it. He could spend hours in it.<<

Where did you get your swing? Do you have it inside or out?

Thanks

Speaking of rocking chairs..Has anyone

trying a chair hammock?

I heard that alot of children like these. At 's OT meeting, the OT

said he was hyposensitive and craves vestibular (sp?) and that part of a

sensory diet, he should have time to get Vestibular activity. (at least

this is how I understood it, He hasn't started OT yet because we are on

the waiting list)

So anyway, I read on another board about these chairs and trampolines. I

was thinking of getting one of the little tramps..

Have any of you found them helpful for your children? Thanks in advance

Warm Regards

We looked around for a chair hammock, but since it was completely out of our

price range, we rigged up a blanket swing in the basement by gathering all

four corners of a king-size blanket, tying them, then chaining it to a beam

in the ceiling (yay for unfinished basements!) He loves to climb in there

and just hang, softly swinging, as the blanket squeezes him on all sides.

Mini tramps have never done much for him.

What a wonderful idea!! I love to save money (I'm an accountant but don't hold

it against me LOL) We have a beam in our garage/workshop that I think would work

great. Did you reforce the blanket where you chained it to stop it from ripping?

How did you hook the chain to the blanket? Thanks (sorry to be a PITB)

They used to out Greggory in one during his OT sessions when he was little. He

hated it but I think that was the point. He was being desensitized.

Just wanted to say that we have found the mini trampoline very

helpful. Zach loves to jump when he watches a movie. It also helps

him get out extra energy, and calms him. It also has helped him play

with his brothers because they will jump with him, or push each other

off and jump back on..like king of the mountian.

We also recently put up a swing set, and he loves it. He taught

himself how to swing independently last week. We don't need to push

him anymore.

Libby,

Do you recall where you bought your? I have been looking and all are over $100

and most over $200. Not that I wouldn't do anything to help my son but since we

are building a house, money is a bit tight.

Thanks!

The mini trampoline we bought at Wal-Mart for $25.00 and the swingset

was 125.00 (with anchors) at Toys R US.

Hope this helps,

Libby
