Baby Swing Buying Guide

FAQs


Q

When should I use a baby swing?

Use a baby swing to soothe, comfort or manage your baby when you have chores to do. However, keep an eye on your baby from wherever you are working. Also, baby swings that can double up as bouncers are good for babies who can't lie down completely owing to breathing problems or a puffy nose. They will help babies stay in a semi-erect position.
Q

Is it safe to leave my baby unattended in the swing?

Most swings are battery-operated. It is not advisable to leave babies unattended for long in them, as they may end up feeling dizzy.
Q

What should I keep in mind while buying a swing?

Space, portability, safety, entertainment factor, multi-purpose utility - like in the case of combination swings - and the weight it can factor. Hygiene is another area of importance. Look for a swing that has a soft, comfortable fabric that won't irritate your baby's skin. Also, make sure the material is easy to wash.
Q

Are baby swings secure?

Baby swings are secure and come with safety harnesses to ensure that babies don't slip from the swing seat. The CPSC1 has given its nod and approval for new safety guidelines for baby swings to improve their security standards and prevent accidents and fatalities. A 5-point harness is recommended by the CPSC to ensure your baby's safety.
Q

Can I let my baby fall asleep in the swing?

You can let your baby take short naps in the swing. Make sure the swing is not operational, causing discomfort or dizziness to your baby.
Q

How long can I use a swing on a given day?

It is recommended that you use the swing for not more than an hour every day because a baby needs to be held and played with to develop an emotional connection, and also to grow physically.
Q

Till what age can my baby use a swing?

Baby swings are recommended for infants to babies up to the age of 18 months. You might have to go in for an upgrade or move to another baby product for older babies.
Q

Where can I buy baby swings?

You can buy them in stores that specialize in baby products or in supermarkets that sell baby products. However, if you find online shopping more convenient, there are many websites dedicated to selling baby products online. You could purchase them there after going through various reviews, feedback from other customers and product ratings. With the online medium, you get to leverage the advantage of the internet and use it to suit your shopping purposes.
