An indoor swing is a baby chair with padded cover and safety harness which swings backwards and forwards in its own free-standing frame. One make converts from a highchair and swings with the baby’s movement. Others are motorised, requiring batteries to operate. A motorised swing may have an adjustable seat, choice of rocking speeds or even play soothing music.
Do I need it?
All babies love to be rocked and for some babies a swing can be the perfect solution when they just won’t settle and you need to put them down for a while. Motorised swings are more useful for soothing than playing, and babies will often gently nod off to sleep in them. However, they are relatively expensive, require batteries and may not be in use for very long (suitable from birth to around baby weight 11kg).
