Abstract
A swing for use by children or adults in mobility devices, such as wheelchairs, includes a base platform configured to support one or more mobility devices and which is connected, through a rigid framework, to one or more overhead trolleys. The one or more overhead trolleys are configured to move back and forth along first and second elevated and desirably curved tracks, thereby causing the base platform to swing frontward and rearward in a to-and-fro swinging motion.
