Product Information

Assembly: The first step was assembling the baby swings while we timed ourselves and took detailed notes on how intuitive or complicated this process was. In terms of design, this swing has several unique features. The first is the seat cover, which was super soft and felt like it was made from minky fabric. The second is the optional bug net, which although we didn’t test, we could see how this would be useful for parents who want to bring the swing outside in the summer months—which would be a breeze because the swing is pretty compact and lightweight. Whether we tested it as a swing or bouncer, the Graco Soothe 'n Sway felt safe and sturdy to Barrett. However, we noticed that the seat was very deep, which Barrett thought could be problematic for a small or premature baby. We also felt like the seat didn’t have much structure to it, but liked that it was easy to adjust it to swing side to side or take it off the base to use as a bouncer.

This swing takes your baby from newborn, with a soft insert and three-point harness; to toddler, with these removed, to be used as a seat. With no batteries or cords, the Nuna Leaf’s gentle side-to-side motion lasts for several minutes before you have to give it a nudge again, unlike most other non-motorised swings on the market which require near-constant pushing.

JCM. 2020;9(12):3946. doi:10.3390/jcm9123946 My son is particularly enthralled by the brightly-coloured toy bar and its hanging rattles - though they do dangle quite close to his face and he bashes himself by tugging on them pretty often. Thankfully this is removable.

This Munchkin swing moves in a smooth side-to-side motion that seemed pretty relaxing to us. It plays 12 different sounds and the noise level ranges from 55.5-71.7 dBA. You can also stream your own music on this swing via Bluetooth, and we liked that the settings could be operated by the remote control. Although the seat doesn’t recline, Barrett confirmed that it was the appropriate level for a baby. Not everything related to this swing was easy, though. Attaching the swing to the base was nearly impossible, even after we asked multiple people to try their hand at it. It wasn’t until we watched a video tutorial that suggested an alternative method that we were finally able to complete this step. Thankfully though, after assembly, using the swing was pretty straightforward for us. This is a great two-in-one swing and bouncer, making it a great option if you're short on space. Just note that assembly was time consuming (it took us 1.5 hours start to finish).

High weight limits: “If your baby loves a swing or even needs a swing to be soothed, you will likely need that thing for a while,” notes Huff. She recommends looking for swings with reclining seats for smaller babies and a higher weight limit for bigger babies. Although operating this swing was quite intuitive, assembling it was a frustrating experience for us. The manufacturer’s instructions are made up of illustrations and have no written guidance, making it unnecessarily challenging to follow. It was only after watching a YouTube tutorial that we understood how to put it together, but even then we found the process to be difficult. bright start baby swing replacement parts were easily available to her with the great help of their consumer service.

How long can a baby sleep in a bouncer? that she used it for her dog who is very curious to sit next to her desk while she is working. she further added that it’s very easy to travel when you have your dog bed with you and she found it less prone to collect dirt ”. To begin testing, we gathered a team of 10 Verywell Family editors (most of whom are parents) at the Verywell Testing Lab in New York City. We evaluated each baby swing according to the following key criteria: As soon as we first slipped then-two-month-old Jasper, who was fussing, into the Baby Bjorn, he settled down and eventually nodded off. At seven months it’s still the one he seems to be most comfortable in. The jersey cotton fabric is super soft but supportive and comes in a wide array of colours and patterns. I also like the simplicity of the front panel which secures him - no fiddly straps over his shoulders to wrestle with. In terms of portability, we could easily move this swing from room to room since it has a small footprint and weighs only 10 pounds. However, it doesn’t fold, so it requires some space commitment (albeit temporary). Despite this, we like that the seat rotates 360 degrees and thought it was really easy to change the incline, even though it requires two hands to do so.

And in addition to being compact, with just two parts assembling it was a breeze and took only three minutes. Overall, this swing felt pretty sturdy during our testing process. It has a five-point safety harness, which did a good job of containing the 15-pound sandbag we placed in the seat. It moves side to side in a pretty smooth manner and has five different speeds. However, the sound reached 79.7 dBA at the highest volume (louder than a vacuum cleaner) and 66.1 dBA at the lowest volume when we tested it. When shopping for a baby swing, parents should consider the product’s safety, stability, and weight limit. They should also pay attention to the type and size of the swing as well as its features, such as a mobile, sounds, and app connectivity. The fact that we could operate the Jool Baby Nova swing with a remote control made being a busy parent a whole lot easier. From the comfort of the couch, we were able to adjust every feature on the swing, including the speed, volume, music, and timer. We also liked that we could stream our own music on the swing via USB or Bluetooth.

According to Barrett, the MamaRoo is very sturdy and safe. She also complimented how smoothly it moved, which we think is this swing’s main selling point. In terms of noise level, its sounds range from 46-68 dBA, with the lowest being the hum of the motor. However, its frame is rather bulky and it weighs close to 20 pounds, which could make moving the MamaRoo challenging for parents who are recovering from childbirth. If you are confused the low price might have affected its design and great look feature. Don’t worry it’s definitely made with bright colors and tremendously soft fabric, different versions have different beauties but my favorite is the Safari Smiles version. As it’s unisex it’s brilliant in color and it’s great in comfort. If you’re looking for a swing that you can put away at the end of the day or when visitors arrive, this Graco swing is a great choice. We found it to be very easy to fold and love that it’s equipped with a handle that makes it convenient to transport. Plus, it weighs just 12.7 pounds, which makes it entirely possible to carry with one hand. We also like that the height of the legs is adjustable and appreciate the overall look and feel of this swing, especially its soft, fleece seat and neutral color palette. However, it’s pretty basic in terms of features since it doesn’t play sounds and is adorned with two non-descript stars that frankly, look a little boring to us. It also doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg, so you can buy it at an affordable price. Definitely, what is the need to spend a whole fortune on a baby swing, when you can get something reasonable and far less price?Size: Huff loves swings that fold for easy storage so parents don’t have to have a huge swing taking up most of their living space. Consider where you’ll be using the swing and if you’re okay with it staying out all the time or not. Most of the products by bright start baby swing are light in weight, portable, allows fold up qualities, and still sturdy enough for long use. Bright Stars baby swing batteries What really sets this one apart is its multi-functionality. It can be used as a manual bouncer for when they’re small (with the newborn inlay) then eventually, with the harness removed, a comfy chair for toddlers up to the age of three. Safety features: Huff likes swings with a full 5-point harness to help keep babies securely in place and prevent sliding in the seat portion. In addition to looking nice, this swing felt safe and sturdy when we tested it. It has a five-point harness that feels secure and the mobile is hung far enough away that a baby can’t reach it. This swing is also super quiet; without the music on, it was almost silent, and with the music on, the sound was only 40-50 dBA, which is quieter than the hum of a refrigerator.
