The SportsPlay Plastic Tire Seat is a commercial playground swing seat designed to provide the exciting movement and shared-play experience associated with a traditional tire swing. Recommended for users ages 8 and up, this durable replacement tire swing seat is an excellent choice for schools, parks, recreation areas, and other commercial playground environments that need a dependable seat for a compatible tire swing assembly.
Measuring 28 inches long by 28 inches wide and 10 inches high, the Plastic Tire Seat provides a spacious surface for swinging play. Its round, open design creates a different experience from a traditional belt swing and can encourage children to interact, communicate, and enjoy movement together.
Tire swinging introduces dynamic movement to the playground. Depending on the swing frame and suspension system, children can experience swinging and rotational movement that challenges their bodies to continually adjust to changes in position and direction. This type of movement can help support balance, body awareness, coordination, and vestibular sensory development.
The Plastic Tire Seat is available in two bright color choices—yellow or blue—making it easy to coordinate the seat with an existing playground color scheme or add a vibrant accent to the swing area.
This product includes the plastic tire seat only. Swing chains are not included, so compatible chains and necessary attachment components should be selected separately based on the swing system being used.

Commercial-Grade Durability
The Plastic Tire Seat is designed specifically for commercial playground applications where durability and dependable performance are important. SportsPlay recommends the seat for users ages 8 and up and identifies it as suitable for heavy-use environments such as schools, parks, and neighborhood playgrounds.
Unlike an entire tire swing structure, this product is the seat component only. This makes it useful when replacing a worn seat on a compatible existing tire swing or when assembling a tire swing system with separately selected components.
The Plastic Tire Seat does not include chains. Before installation, facilities should verify that the selected chains, hangers, connectors, frame, and other hardware are compatible with the seat and appropriate for the intended commercial application.
As with all commercial swing equipment, installation should follow manufacturer instructions and applicable playground safety requirements. Appropriate impact-attenuating surfacing, swing clearances, equipment spacing, and use zones should be incorporated into the overall playground design.
Ideal Applications
- Child care centers with school-age programs
- Elementary schools
- Parks and municipal playgrounds
- Churches and community organizations
- Camps and recreation programs
The SportsPlay Plastic Tire Seat offers a simple way to add or refresh the classic tire-swing experience. Its spacious 28" x 28" design, commercial-grade construction, and choice of bright yellow or blue make it a practical replacement or new-installation option for playgrounds serving older children.
Whether used at an elementary school, park, school-age child care program, camp, or community playground, the Plastic Tire Seat provides the foundation for an exciting swinging experience that combines movement, sensory input, and social play.
