Best Baby Swing Designs

By Darren Hartley


The best baby swing is most useful in the first few months of the baby. Some baby swings have weight limits of 24 to 30 pounds. However, most manufacturers recommend the stopping of the use of a swing either when a baby weights between 15 and 25 pounds or when a baby begins to roll over or push up.

With a baby that responds well to the rocking of the best baby swing, the swing can provide parents with some much needed quiet, hands free time during the exhausting period of taking care of a newborn baby.

A safety harness is an important provision of the best baby swing. Full sized swings are required to have at least a three point harness for the prevention of the baby from slipping out of the swing seat. A safer alternative would be a baby swing with a five point harness that includes over the shoulder straps.

The best baby swing must be comfortable. Cradle styled swings come with seats that recline far, which is perfect for newborns. The seat cushion of the swing must be nicely padded.

The best baby swing must not be among the products that have been recalled for one reason or another. Before buying a swing, parents must make sure the model they are purchasing has not been recalled because of factory defects. The presence of a JPMA, a.k.a., Juvenile Products Manufacturers' Association, seal assures parents that the model conforms to independent safety standards.

Parents must give themselves at least half an hour to assemble the best baby swing. They should make sure of the stability of the swing by swinging it without the baby in it and pushing down on the seat a little to make sure of its security.
