My oldest child is 8 years old, and I cannot belive how far baby products have come since his birth. One of the products we relied on countless times to keep him happy was the swing. I can’t count the number of times the swing saved dinner at our house. It helped me have two hands available to get the job done while he swung to his heart’s content. So, I am thrilled to share the swing evolution with the Cradle and Sway Swing from Bright Start’s InGenuity Collection. This collection offers many options – the full size swing, a portable swing, play yard, and bouncer.
From the website: The InGenuity™ Collection combines the latest innovations in technology with on-trend styling and plush fabrics to create the most soothing and attractive product offering possible. Each product is designed with unique technologies to provide parents the features that make life with baby even more enjoyable. From a bouncer that bounces by itself, to a swing that runs on one set of batteries for babies entire first year, this collection of innovative gear products raises the bar on feature and fashion.
The first thing I noticed about the swing is how the soft, neutral colors don’t clash with the rest of the house! Doesn’t it seem like baby equipment not only takes over, but multiplies while you are asleep? The muted tones on this swing won’t be screaming at you from the next room! The Cradle and Sway had simple, step-by-step directions that were easy to follow, even for this Mom. I had it fully assembled in less than an hour. I really love the toy anchors on the removeable tray and the choice of melodies or nature sounds to soothe or stimulate Baby while he or she is swinging.
- How cute is this? Two soft, plush toys attach to the tray with anchors. Genius!
Even better: the cushioned seat swivels so Baby can sway back and forth or side to side. Of course, the seat cover is removeable and machine washable to keep it fresh and clean, and the Cradle and Sway offers 2 times the battery life of comprable swings. This was good news, as the only thing I would change about the swing would be that it had a plug-in adapter other than batteries….but with batteries that last that long, I don’t mind! While the little one this swing is intended for hasn’t made her debut yet, I am certain she’ll be happily swinging as soon as she’s home! The Cradle and Sway can safely be used for infants up to 25 pounds. More features of the Cradle and Sway include:
-
Tru-Speed Technology maintains 6 swing speeds even with baby’s growth.
-
Whisper-quiet technology
-
Comfort recline seat with 2 positions for Baby’s comfort
-
Swing timer has 3 settings: 30, 45, or 60 minutes
-
Headrest and Cushioned Bolster system for ultimate comfort
-
5 point harness to keep Baby safely in swing
Baby Bliss!
