There's a dozen ways to do this, either
$275 for http://www.yardgames.com.au/product_info.php?products_id=999&utm_source=getprice&utm_medium=product_search&utm_campaign=getprice&utm_source=getprice&utm_medium=cpc
which will last for ages or you can go the cheap route (I know you will) and buy some poly rope (I suggest at least 15mm for fat kids/longevity but you can get away with thinner) and a snatch block to suit from some dodgy ex-army/tool shop and have a small tyre tied to the bottom on end to sit/stand on.
I've built cheap swings, tree house etc for our 18 mnth and 30 mnth olds and they love them. Am about to build spiders web (like a pyramid so they fall into it) out of 15mm to get them climbing, keep it low to start and raise/extend it as their confidence/skills allow.
Have fun.
