    Our third choice is this simple sway swing from Graco. It plays music, has different speeds, and budget friendly!

    What we like:

    • It has 10 melodies and 5 nature sounds built in.
    • You can use batteries or plug it into a wall outlet.
    • Comes with an infant head support

    What we don't like:

    • seat fabric is spot clean only, so you can't put it in the washing machine

    How to pick the best baby swing

    1. Seat is removable and machine washable. This lets you be able to quickly clean the seat if anything gets on it.
    2. Electric power source- batteries are all well and good, but if you use the baby swing a lot, having the ability to plug it into the wall will save you a lot of money in the long run, because batteries are expensive.
    3. Sturdy base- as your precious little one is swinging, you want to make sure there's zero change the swing can tip over, so select a swing with a good base.

    FAQ

    What are some tips for buying a baby swing?

    You should pick a swing with a strong base, a seat covering that is removable and machine washable, and lastly that it has the option of an electric power source.

    Is it worth buying a baby swing?

    Absolutely! A baby swing can provide baby a safe space to swing while parents have a well-earned break.

    What is a disadvantage of a baby swing?

    Some baby swings can be very heavy, hard to fold, and take up a lot of space which isn't ideal for everyone.
