This swing does it all, including simulating the bounce of Mom or Dad's arms, piping in music from your iPhone, and giving you tons of motion and spend settings. The idea here is that this baby swing can replace other gear you might need (like a bouncer or Rock N Play), making that price tag a little easier to stomach. This baby swing has fewer bells and whistles. We're naming it the best baby swing for newborns because it reclines to flat, which is important for those early weeks when babies have limited head control.All it takes is a gentle nudge from you to start a rhythmic side-to-side swinging movement that lasts about two minutes. (If you want to keep the motion going automatically, opt for the Wind accessory that clicks onto the base and offers six-speed options, no batteries needed.) For babies who aren't into the more intense movement of electric baby swings, this is a great option. Thanks to its sleek design, it won't clash with your contemporary home decor. Plus, it evolves into a fun kid-size seat as your child grows, giving you more bang for your buck.
