Newborns and young infants love being in motion, but that can be hard on parents! A baby swing can provide that soothing, calming sensory input while giving parents some much-needed hands-free time. If you choose a higher-tech infant swing or electric bouncer, you’ll have the option to plug in the unit for operation, or to use battery power.

Some high-tech models even feature Bluetooth capability so parents can stream baby’s favourite songs as they swing or sway. These programmable features allow parents to create the serene setting that’s perfect for their baby’s sleep schedule by choosing the duration, volume, and type of sound. Especially popular and important are the wide variety of soothing sounds: from soft lullabies and classic tunes to happy melodies for wakeful moments to serene nature sounds and white noise. Some swing and rocker models include motorized baby mobiles with moving toys that captivate babies’ attention – their smooth motion helps create that desired sleepy state. More than just motionĪmong the best baby swing perks: a variety of sensory features, including calming vibrations of varying intensity, which can help calm infants and help send them off to sleep.

Once you have your infant swing set to help baby wind down for a nap, you can take a much-needed, hands-free moment for yourself. Many new baby swing types are fully programmable so parents can create a custom swing session, complete with automatic music and vibration.

Some models are described as a “3-in-1 swing” which often means that it’s a multifunction unit that can swing, glide, or be stationary. Or in some cases, “2-in-1 swing” means the infant seat can be set to either move or be stationary. Check out a 2-in-1 swing that operates with baby sitting up to play or reclined to sleep. They may swing to and fro, rock side to side like a cradle, bounce lightly up and down, or glide forward and back (mimicking the motion of a traditional nursery glider chair) or side to side – mimicking the patented swaying motion new parents know so well. Many modern infant swings have multiple settings so parents can choose both the speed and the type of motion. Explore the latest baby swing models, designed to do more than just move back and forth.
