Graco

Sway2Me Swing with Portable Bouncer

We ordered this product, and when this arrived, we removed it from the box and it was very poorly packaged. It was all a tangled mess.

I received this product as part of the stellar product panel testing and this is my unbiased and honest review. As a mama of three kiddos, I have used my fair share of swings and bouncers. My LO is currently 3 months old and loves to be held ALL the time. It makes getting anything done around the house difficult. This graco swing is AMAZING and has given me some of my freedom back. It took me about 15 minutes to put together by myself and was relatively easy and the instructions were helpful. I love that the swing can swivel 360 degrees so I can have my little one facing me no matter where I am in the house. It gives me the freedom to have him swing side to side or front to back which is so great. It also has a ton of different settings for soothing my LO. It a bunch of sounds and songs. It is easy to toggle through the songs and sounds with just one touch of a button. It also has different settings for changing the volume to make it louder or quieter which is really nice as well. The buttons are easy to push and allow me to turn it on with the use of one hand….this is really important because I have three kids and am constantly having to perform tasks with one hand. The ease of turning the swing on with one hand is a big bonus for me. The base of the machine is very sturdy and does not feel like it will tip over, even on the highest swing setting.I also love that the swing is quiet and makes NO noise when moving. A few drawbacks to the swing are the size. It is quite large and takes up a decent amount of space. It does need to be close to an outlet because it has to be plugged in to work. The harness system is difficult to unbutton with one hand. However, overall I am very pleased with this swing and would highly recommend it as it is both a swing and bouncer all in one and has a lot to offer.

Pros:
360 swivel allowing for side to side motion and front/back
Tons of songs/sounds for soothing fussy baby
Able to power on/toggle buttons with use of one hand
Sturdy base and does not make noise when turned on
Calms down my fussy LO and he will sleep in it for 2 hours
Fantastic customer service

Cons:
Takes up a decent amount of space
Must be by an outlet to plug in
Difficult to remove cover for washing
Difficult harness system to use with one hand

This is my first experience with a swing but it’s been great. I really like the dual purpose of it as a bouncer and swing. That way if your baby doesn’t like the swing you still have a bouncer you can use! The swing function is great and very intuitive. There are different speeds of swinging and allows for swinging in different directions since the seat is moveable and adjustable. The swing function is pretty quiet and not intrusive. There are also various sounds you can use to help lull your babe to sleep which is nice.

The assemble was relatively easy, but a lot of plastic was used to cover all the metal tubing which was a bit annoying.

The material is nice and soft for baby and the straps are decent. I do appreciate the muted colors of the seat and stand with moveable bar of toys to keep baby entertained.

Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby swing.

Works effectively as advertised - our baby liked the rocking motions and the noises, it would keep him occupied while we cooked or worked from home. The seat rotates so the baby can swing side to side or front to back (from their perspective).

It was very easy to remove the seat and use it as a bouncer - just lift it right off the base. It's nice to have the option to move the baby to another room in the bouncer. It's nice and quiet.

As you would expect, it does take up some space; its footprint is similar to a small stuffed armchair. It also isn't our preferred aesthetic - it's consistent with Graco's other products, bulkier and busier than the more Scandinavian minimalism other brands utilize.

If you want to buy a swing and aren't overly concerned about style, this is an ideal option with versatility.

I love the Graco Sway2Me swing and bouncer. It’s so easy and convenient to remove the seat to use as a bouncer and have both in one product. I’m used to having multiple items of individual swings and bouncers, which take up so much room and get pricey. This swing also takes up less space than others I’ve tried, which is a huge win in my house. The materials are also nice quality and neutral colors. My son also loves the music. He didn’t love the vibration, so we don’t really use that feature. But overall, this is a great swing and bouncer and I would recommend to any moms who need one. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby swing to try.

Graco’s Sway2Me swing with portable bouncer is a great two in one baby item.
It is not too large that it takes up too much room and it’s a plus that it can also be used as a portable bouncer. So I guess if you do not have much room for multiple baby items in your home, this is a great two for one. My husband had it assembled in about an hour?, directions were fairly simple. I love the color which is called Watson. It’s just a simple neutral color scheme that matches pretty much any home or style you may have and can also be used for boys or girls. There are multiple sound and song settings you can use as well as volume controls. Also on the seat itself has a two setting vibration, high and low plus an off Switch. My little one enjoyed the swaying, which can be set in multiple directions front to back side to side and is pretty quiet. I really enjoy that I am able to move the bouncer from room to room while playing with his older siblings, doing dishes or folding laundry. The only thing I will change probably is the toy bar, maybe add toys with a mirror or rattle or sound? But overall, I really enjoy this new addition. I want to thank Stellar product Panel for sending me this amazing 2-1 to test and review! Overall I would recommend and would make a great baby shower gift for a new mom!

This Graco swing/bouncer set was sent to me by Stellar Product Testing for feedback on the product. Having a two in one swing/bouncer set is perfect for my small living room. This did not take up too much space and neutral color fit nicely. As for the swing portion, my little one loves the side to side motion since this is how I rock him. It has the option to rock front to back as well but we didn't use as much. The bouncer portion is great as well. It's perfect to take off the base move my baby around when I need to work, cook, shower, etc. Sometimes I do have trouble pulling the bouncer off the swing base but it's comfort knowing the bouncer is safety attached. The product also vibrates and play music. The vibration portion is strong to me and baby also didn't like it but loves the water sound option. Overall, it's a great product used daily in my household.

I just had my 2nd baby 4 months ago, and have found that I need a safe place to put my baby in various rooms of the house, even more than I did with my first. I have loved keeping the swing in the living room, and moving the portable, detachable bouncer seat wherever it is needed. It’s so easy to take off the swing. That being said, I have wondered if it’s too easy. As in, maybe my toddler could do it? Yikes. But that hasn’t been a problem.
I like that I can rotate the chair on the swing base to face any direction. My baby can’t reach the toy bar, but seems interested in looking at it. The swing itself is nearly silent, and the nature sounds and music are not obnoxious, which is quite a compliment with baby gadgets.
One day my babe was resisting her nap, so I gave up and plunked her into the swing, with the seat on vibrate and the swing gently swaying her while she watched her brother play. The next thing I know, she was asleep!! So I unlatched the harness and put her in her bed. I consider this a big win!

We absolutely love this swing and are so happy we were able to test it through Stellar Product Testing Panel. It has various features such as two vibration settings, several adjustable swinging speeds, and a toy bar to entertain my baby. I like the variety of classical music tunes and nature sounds that it plays, and that there is a white noise option for soothing. The swing itself is silent in motion. These functions are also very easy to control without even reading the instructions. I love that the chair is a swivel so it can be placed around 360 degrees depending on which way you want to orient your baby to swing in different directions (example: front to back, side to side, diagonal). My favorite part about this swing is that the product grows with your child and can be removed as a bouncer seat. It was super easy and clicked right in and out without any trouble. The safety belts fasten easily, and are very secure to keep my baby in place. If I had to change anything, I would make it so that the seat itself had an option to become a little bit more of an upright angle for bouncing. I really like the fact that it is aesthetically pleasing and doesn’t take up a large amount of space. Overall, couldn’t be more pleased with this swing!
