Home > Activity > Swings   OVERVIEW Swings are considered an essential for babies from day one. As any exhausted new mom knows, a few minutes of quiet time can be a lifesaver. They can provide you with much-needed quiet, hands-free time in the early months with a place to comfort a fussy baby or just a place for baby to rest. Baby swings come in three basic types: The traditional full-size swing, the cradle swing, and the travel swing. Full-size swings have really changed in design since they were invented in 1955 by Graco employee David Saint (a father of 9!): a padded seat suspended in a metal frame rocks forward and back. Cradle swings rock back and forth, but also side to side, a direction many moms (and babies) prefer. Travel swings are full-size seats on smaller legs that give you precious portability not just on the go, but from room-to-room. Swings are powered one of two ways: by wind-up crank or by battery. The windup swings with you might remember from your childhood are not as popularanymore because the noise of re-winding tends to wake wee ones up. But if you're looking to save money, they are cheaper and don't require the repeated purchase of batteries. Many moms do like that wind-up swings wind-down and naturally stop on their own, but since they are a rarer breed, most wind-up swings are missing the whistles and bells and nifty features of their energized counterparts. Battery powered swings are quieter, generally smoother and come stocked with features such as variable speeds, music, rotating mobiles and even lights. Some even have their own parent remote controls! Be warned that they are battery hogs however. One popular model requires 10 batteries! Your million other baby products and toys notwithstanding, the baby swing alone more than warrants the expense a good rechargeable battery system.
