A child swing includes a frame, a hanger arm movably coupled to the frame, and a support base coupled to the at least one hanger arm. The support base is configured to hold a child carrier of an infant car seat and to enable removal of the child carrier. The support base has two or more attachment locations at which the child carrier can be attached to the support base. Upon removal of the child carrier from the support base, the support base remains coupled to the hanger arm, and the hanger arm remains coupled to the frame. The support base can also enable removal of the child carrier from the support base via actuation of a release latch of the child carrier, and the support base is movably coupled to the hanger arms to move between an in-use position and a fold position.
