First Things First, Safety
To make swing time a fun time, safety is key! When looking for a swing, make sure it comes with a seatbelt and that it has a wide base and low center of gravity as to accommodate babies actively moving bodies. Baby's happy giggling with quickly turn to hear-piercing cries if he manages to squirm himself out of the swing and land smack right onto the floor. Now, that would be bloody awful!
Types of Baby Swings
'''Battery vs. wind-up'''
When it comes to choosing between a battery operated or a windup swing can be quite noisy while winding it up and won't last very long. In the end, the choice is up to you!
'''Speed and Sound:'''
Even babies can be picky, especially when it comes to how they like to be lulled to sleep. Some babies like a fast motion while others prefer to be rocked at a much slower speed. It is good idea to look for swings with adjustable speeds. The type of sound the swing makes can also be a make or break factor. One sound may not work for all babies. A swing should come with a variety of sounds so you can find one just right for baby.
