Product Information

As with most of the baby items in our Baby Gear Essentials list, we recommend purchasing baby swings from companies with a one-year warranty and excellent customer service. This swing has two recline positions, six melodies that parents say are very calming, as well as the brand’s WhisperQuiet technology to ensure the motor doesn’t make distracting noises. This is also one of the most lightweight baby swings — it weighs just 4 pounds — and has a compact, portable design and low profile. Parents say it’s uncomplicated to assemble and you can easily carry it from room to room.

Parents and caregivers should also make sure their baby does not fall asleep in the swing. “If a baby falls asleep in the swing, he or she should be moved to a flat and firm sleeping surface as soon as possible,” says Lyndsey Garbi, MD, co-founder and chief medical officer of Blueberry Pediatrics and medical review board member at Verywell Family. This is because swings are positioned at an incline, which could cause a baby to position their head in such a way that they can’t breathe. Because there are so many types of baby swings on the market, there’s a fair amount to consider when you’re buying one. I’ve narrowed it down to a few factors that can guide you to the right swing for your family, and those are: where and how you’ll be using it, the cost, and how it’s cleaned. Use A baby bouncer is a small seat that you can strap your baby into, but unlike static chairs it is designed to move, which can help to pacify your little one when your arms need a break. 'That bouncing motion is really soothing; babies love that rhythmic movement,' says Lucy Shrimpton, Sleep Consultant and Founder of The Sleep Nanny. Baby awareness

Elizabeth Murray DO, MBA, FAAP, board certified in pediatrics and pediatric emergency medicine, associate professor of pediatrics and emergency medicine at the University of Rochester We reviewed and selected baby swings based on the following criteria from leading experts, as well as What to Expect community members: Age/Weight Range: Between 6 lbs. Up to 20 lbs., or until baby can sit up unaided or tries to climb out Ben Hoffman, MD, CPST-I, FAAP, professor of pediatrics at Oregon Health & Science University and president-elect of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) From its super soft seat pad and swinging motions, to the calming vibrations, gentle music and sounds, and soft animal friends, the Fisher-Price Take-Along Swing & Seat - Terrazzo and stationary seat is a great spot for your favourite tiny human to relax. And, the seat easily folds, so you can take it along wherever you and your baby go.

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: 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.

This swing’s automatic mobile has a little mirror for babies to study their reflection as well as a speaker that plays melodies, nature sounds, white noise, or a playlist from your smart device. We found that the music on this swing was rather loud on its highest setting, reaching 72 A-weighted decibels (dBA). While decibels (dB) are the units in which sound is measured, dBA is the expression of the sound in the air as perceived by our ears. The noise level of normal conversation is 60-70 dBA, so this swing got slightly louder than that. Along with airway and breathing safety, Dr. Hoffman says that many baby swing injuries involve falling, which is why the correct use of the included safety harness is incredibly important. Though Clemence loves using baby swings as a “tool in our parenting arsenal,” she also agrees that safety is paramount when using them. “Even with the best intentions, accidents can sneak up on us,” she notes. The biggest selling point to this swing is how lightweight and compact it is—moving it around and storing it is a breeze! We also found the music to be quiet (noise level ranges from 59.6-67.6 dBA) and the music is sweet and soothing. Another plus: the fabric is removable and machine washable. For babies between 5-20 lbs who cannot sit up or climb out of swing unassisted Seat pad and head support are machine washable and reversible for convenience
