Video Guide:
(Achievement is at - 2:09)
Both players approach the playground equipment at the dual swing from opposite sides and hit X on the button prompt for an incredibly hilarious cutscene and an achievement.
I intentionally didn't post a video solution as others have because the video is a spoiler. It's much more satisfying to experience it yourself the 1st time than to watch someone else do it. When my friend and I came across the swing and did this we both laughed our asses off.

Chapter Select: Preparation - Reunion
Trophy unlocks for both players? Yes
After fleeing from the police, you'll be in the Reunion section of this chapter where you'll be tasked with the following objective:
- Find Leo's family (Vincent) | Find your family (Leo)
Ignore the above objectives and do the all the trophy requirements around this trailer park before searching for Leo's family.
For this trophy, go to the playground section of the trailer park. Look for a seesaw next to some swings. Have both players sit down on this seesaw together to trigger an awkward cutscene that will unlock the trophy.
Please see the Home Run trophy next before you proceed with the current story objective.
If you've pushed the dumpster to trigger a cutscene with Leo's family, then you've gone too far and will need to use Chapter Select.
Upon reaching the trailer park, you can proceed to the very middle of the area to find the playground. Have both players interact with the swings that face each other and the trophy will unlock.

In the middle of the trailer park there is a double swing that faces each other. Have both players interact with the swing, and enjoy possibly one of the funniest moments in the game

This unlocks during the chapter ‘Preparation: Reunion’.
When you arrive at the trailer park after the boat sequence, ignore the objectives. Walk around the trailer park until you find a playground with a swing set. Have both characters sit on the seesaw and a cutscene will trigger with them debating on who sat down first. When the scene is over, the achievement will unlock.
Note: If you’ve moved the dumpster and continued to Leo’s trailer before unlocking this, you’ve missed your opportunity and need to restart the chapter. You can also unlock both “Home Run” and “No Cheating” in this same scene.
This achievement starts at [02:06:30] in Maka’s video walkthrough.
