Used just for 2 months, Soothing baby swing moves two ways: rocks side-to-side like a cradle & swings head-to-toe. It has six different baby swing speeds from low to high—whether baby is rocking side-to-side, or swinging head-to-toe. It’s easy to switch from one swing motion to another; just turn the seat! This cradle swing actually senses baby’s weight, so speeds won’t slow as baby grows, and it starts without a push. (What a smart idea!) Just plug it in for battery-free baby swing operation.. 16 songs and nature sounds help soothe.
