Where are the swings?

This was what first caught my (and my husband's) attention after the stress of moving was (partially) gone.
In Lugano, and nearby, there are lots of nice playground for children, with all what is needed, and especially in the summer it is really enjoyable to spend time outside. But with a child 20 months old, and coming from the Lausanne area, we were quite puzzled: even when 4 swings were available no one was adapted for toddlers or smaller children. What I mean is that we could not (and still not have after 7 months here) find a swing with a seat with a protection around (I'll try to put a photo) , the type in which our child used to go as often she could back in 'suisse romande'.
During our search we found a nice playground, entirely adapted for the more young ones in 'quartiere maghetti'(http://www.quartieremaghetti.com/ in italian) that we found lovely, but it is an exception, and all walks cannot end there...
This was the first change of habits.
