A seat for a child's swing is disclosed. The seat is of the type comprising a plate-like substantially rigid member (I) to bear the weight of a user sitting on the seat, and resilient polymeric material ( 2) secured to the plate-like member (1), the resilient po- lymeric material (2) extending beyond the outline of the plate-like member ( 1) to form a border (30) around the edges of the plate- like member, and forming a peripheral dependent skirt (40) of substantial thickness. To achieve greater safety in use, the border (30) includes a hinge-like portion of the resilient material (2), the plate- like member (1) in the region of the hinge-like portion is configured to provide room for the dependent skirt (40) to hinge beneath the plate-like member (1), and in an impact between the edge of the seat adjacent the hinge-like portion and an object, the skirt (4 0) is progressively deformed and forced to hinge inwards against the resilience of the hinge-like portion.
