If you need a baby swing on a compact frame, the Graco Simple Sway is the way to go. It features a 5-point harness, six side-to-side swing speeds, and fifteen songs/sounds. The padding isn’t the best on this swing for young babies; however, you can purchase inserts separately if you find you need better head support for them.

This is an affordable swing that gets the job done. It does so without taking up too much space in the home, which is one of its best features. Plus, there are even more reasons we love this baby swing:

Parent’s Thoughts:

Though many parents love this baby swing, some reported “a loud clicking noise when they turned on this swing. It sounds like something is about to break.” It’s something to be mindful of. On a more positive note, parents LOVE that this swing is compact enough to fit just about anywhere in their home. Not to mention, save some money by not purchasing batteries every few weeks.

The Bombol Bamboo Baby Bouncer is one of our favorite bouncers! The breathable mesh fabric resembles that of a hammock, and it has multi-position resting angles.

It is made really well and sturdy, so the product will definitely last you years,” says one mom who loves the Bombol Bouncer.

You will love this baby swing if techy baby gear gets you excited. Believe it or not, this swing was created to soothe your baby just as you would by bouncing up and down and swaying side to side. It has five unique motions and 5-speed options that make 25 different combinations. This baby swing also has built-in sounds (like many other swings do), but it takes the cake with its ability to connect to any MP3 device.

Another feature moms love is that you can control the swing via Bluetooth! That means if your little one is resting cozy, you don’t need to disturb their peace by adjusting knobs or buttons — just update through your phone, and you’re good to go! (The 4moms app for iOS is compatible with all Apple devices newer than the iPhone 4s running iOS 9 or newer.

Parents love the 4moms mamaRoo. What else can we say? “It was so easy to assemble, and my baby loves this swing more than her crib! I love that I can control it from my phone. The best baby item I own,” says one ecstatic mom. And we have to agree, the features 4moms has built into the mamaRoo are pretty amazing.

As a mom who has personally owned and used this dual swing/rocker by Graco, I have to say I love it. You get a two-in-one swing or rocker for under $200! The seat isn’t adjustable to recline, but your little one will have head support while enjoying some soothing swing or rocker motions for comfort.

Because the swing can easily convert into a rocker with its one-handed maneuver, you can carry the rocker portion anywhere you need. This makes it super easy. Let’s say you’re folding laundry in your laundry room and then need to head over to the kitchen to start dinner — simply grab your rocker by the handle and bring them along (kind of like a car seat).

It has six speeds and three swing directions to choose from in swing mode. The seat also features two-speed vibration, a non-spinning mobile, and a 5-point harness to keep your little one safe & secure.

Why We Love It:

• 5-point safety harness
• 6-speed swing that doubles as a portable rocker
• Option to plug-in or use batteries
• Ten melodies and five soothing sounds for baby

The Nuna LEAF Grow Seat was made to keep your little one comforted from newborn to toddler years. No batteries are needed.

Parent’s Thoughts:

Hands down, the price point is one of the most appealing parts of this swing. Parents can get this swing for less than $100 at most retailers. “Good quality for a small compact swing, but the music stops playing often.” This was a trend with many parent reviews that the swing gets the job done, but at a cost which is often the music or sounds shutting off for no reason.

This baby swing has to be one of the most lightweight options. This makes it easy to carry from room to room if and when needed. It has simple-to-follow controls while supporting children up to 20 lbs. One of the coolest features is its ability to pair to your smartphone to listen to any song you want.

Why We Love It:

• Removable head and body support
• Connects to your phone to stream music
• Easily deconstructs for storage

Parent’s Thoughts:

“This swing doesn’t take up much space, and I love that I can use my phone to play our own music (white noise is our top choice),” reports one parent. This swing did tend to get quite a few mixed reviews, primarily due to its inconsistency of stopping to work from time to time. Overall, many parents love this lightweight swing, and we do too, which is why it holds a spot on our Chick Picks.

If you want a more minimalist style bouncer, look no more! This bouncer is all about its sleek, cool design; honestly, we can’t get enough of it! The bouncer initially gained some traction when the Fixer Upper star, Joanna Gaines, posted a photo of her newborn son, Crew, swaddled in this beautiful baby bouncer. Trust us, this bouncer rocks some serious Scandinavian style, but it’s not just the style we love.

Thanks to its detachable machine washable fabric, this bouncer is easy to clean. And all it takes is a gentle rock from your hand or foot to gently soothe your baby into a calm state. Here are a few more features we love!

Parent’s Thoughts:

It’s no surprise that this bouncer is luxurious. Its hand craftsmanship beats many of the other swings on this list. However, its functionality remains pretty basic. One mom mentioned, “I wish this swing would swing on its own for the price point, but it’s lovely to look at, and my baby doesn’t seem to mind.”
