- Full-size plug-in swing. Mains power and a stable frame for a swing that stays set up.

Swing Finder FAQ
How does the Swing Finder work?
You answer seven short questions about your baby's stage, your space, power, motion, price tier, features and overall priority. Each answer adds points to one or more of five swing types, and the type with the most points is your result. The result lists the answers that drove it.
Which swing types can it suggest?
Five types: a feature-rich multi-motion swing, a budget-friendly full-size swing, a compact portable swing, a full-size plug-in swing and a convertible swing. If your baby already sits up unassisted, it tells you a swing is probably not the right purchase.
Can the Swing Finder tell me which swing my baby will like?
No. It matches the preferences you enter to a type of swing. It cannot predict what an individual baby will like, and no swing is certain to soothe every baby.
Are baby swings safe for sleep?
No. A swing is not a safe sleep space. If your baby falls asleep in a swing, move them to a firm, flat sleep surface such as a crib or bassinet, stay close and use the harness every time.
