And it s all thanks to a generous grant for specialised equipment from a children s charity.
It means that little Abby Paton, from Carrickfergus, can now enjoy being safely pushed in an adapted swing in her own back garden - which mum Kelly said was a life-saver for the little girl and her family during lockdown. Abby, loves the sensation of swinging, but we found it was unsafe to push her in an ordinary swing as she can t grip on, said Kelly. Abby would also lean forwards a lot, so we were worried she could fall out. We tried holding onto Abby whilst pushing her but she wasn t getting the full experience of being in a swing.
