James used to scream if we tried to get him on or near anything that swung.
When he was a baby, I used to be able to swing him in the bucket seats no problem.
Somewhere around age 18-24 months, swinging became an act of torture for James. He was terrified of losing control and contact with solid ground, I think. The OTs, his Dad, and I tried everything we could think of to coax him onto something, anything that moved. Sometimes we had a little luck with him sitting on a lap while the lap was on a beam. Oddly enough, he loved sneaking into my home office and so he could sit on my chair and twirl himself around.
I think James has swung back to enjoying the ride. Vestibular issues are a mystery to me!
