Unlike most swings, the mamaRoo4 doesn’t swing back and forth or side to side but instead mimics the motions of a swaying parent. You can choose from five unique motions and speeds including “car ride,” “kangaroo,” and “rockabye.” There are four sounds, or you can play your own music using the bluetooth feature. The seat reclines to almost any position – even a full recline. The swing comes with attachable toys, and its seat cover is removable and washable so you won’t have to worry too much about blowouts or spit-up.
This gliding swing moves smoothly back and forth in a calming motion, much like a nursery glider chair. It comes with a plush infant body support insert that you can remove when your baby outgrows it. The swing reclines to three positions, including flat for newborns and upright for older babies who want to sit up. The vibration feature has two speeds and the glider has six speeds. A removable mobile with soft toys and nature sounds offers stimulation for your baby.
The Simple Sway soothes babies the traditional way – swaying from side to side. It’s a lower-cost swing, but still offers six swing speeds and two vibration speeds. (It doesn’t have a recline feature.) Parents appreciate this swing’s compact frame, which makes it easy to fit into your living space without being too obtrusive. A 5-point harness and a plush body support cushion with a removable head support keeps your baby secure. The entertainment feature has 15 songs and sounds, and a simple mobile with three soft toys.
This swing is a good choice for parents who want the benefits of a swing and bouncer in one low-profile (and relatively inexpensive) product. The Cobabies switches easily from swing to vibrating seat. Other than that, it’s fairly simple – it has one swing direction (back and forth) and is entirely battery operated. The Cobabies is easy to assemble, and folds flat for easy storage or for traveling.
