Question for 3rdx + moms

My daughter is going to be 3 next month, and my son will be born next month also. I went to target yesterday and looked at swings, and I know how awesome they are and definitely want one. But while looking, I couldn't help but think of my daughter messing with it, pushing it all the time. I know I can obviously try to teach her not to mess with brothers swing, but knowing toddlers I think she might try to "sneak" it and push him and I'm scared. Has anyone had a swing with their other kids and how do the others act with it?

That's cute that she cried so he didn't want to make her cry :)

Yes she will be tempted.
Its new to her. And she will want to explore it I suggest setting it up now before baby so you can familiarize herself with everything and you explain what it will be for.
This is what I did and it really worked out.
My son gave his sister a little push once when it was not going and woke her and she cried. After that he never wanted to make her cry.

I mostly had a problem with him giving her things like big toys and stuff.
So I had to also explain baby's can't hold things.
