Rubber Bucket Swing Seat | 450-00009

This is a fully enclosed one-piece infant seat that helps prevent small children from falling out. The seat's dimensions are 39” in circumference, 9.5” deep, the front leg opening is 5” leg with the back opening 4.75”. It is made with a steel insert that is encased in 70duro EPDM rubber with heavy-duty rust-resistant welded triangular hardware. EPDM: Ethylene-propylene-diene-monomer is a synthetic rubber material that helps prevent crazing, cracking, and oxidizing.

Natural rubber is often made from recycled tires etc., and you are never sure what the actual rubber mixture is. It usually wears off on children’s clothes. It cracks and crazes, making the seat unsightly and allowing moisture to get into the seat. This makes the seat deteriorate at a much quicker rate. Our seats are made of EPDM rubber which is made especially for our swing seats.

The rubber does not rub off on children’s clothes, and the seats last much longer than natural rubber swings. Unlike seats made of polymer, seats made of EPDM rubber hold up well in extreme temperatures, both very hot and very cold. Our one-piece steel insert is not used in most other swing seats either.

Making a one-piece insert is much more expensive than tabbing an insert together because of the waste that is caused. However, we feel that the strength of the seat is significantly increased and warrants the expense. Our seats have galvanized steel triangles and steel plates that are riveted to the seat with galvanized rivets.
