Too cute
This swing is simple yet perfect. The pattern is gender neutral and so SO cute! I was worried about how loud it would be but it’s fairly quiet. We use this for our newborn while putting our five year old to bed in the same room and it doesn’t wake him. The fabric material is close to a neoprene feel and is easily wipeable but can always be fully removed to deep clean. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this infant swing.

Simple and Efficient
The Graco Simple Sway Swing was overall easy to put together and ready to use within 25 minutes. This swing is very well made and simple to use. We like that this is a classic swing that sways side to side versus other swings that move in a circular motion - our little one is a big fan of this! It is very easy to strap in your baby and unbuckle with one click. This has been used many times to free up our hands knowing our baby is safe, comfortable and entertained. Our only complaint we have is the settings - level 1 is almost too fast for a newborn and we can't imagine what level 5 would be like! Thanks to the Stellar Panel for providing me with this product to test and review!

Swaying to calm
We love our simple sway swing that we received from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Some of the benefits of the swing are how we can change the amount of motion of the side to side sway as baby calms down over time. We also find the fit really nice. He was a larger baby when he was born, 9 lbs 9 oz but now he’s a long and lean green bean- and can still fit very comfortably and safely. As far as sound, I like the songs more than most baby equipment. I don’t think they’re as annoying as lots of things can be and the vibration settings along with the sounds are a nice touch. Having the opportunity to move the swing without needing batteries is so helpful also, but we also use the plug in setting depending on the area we have the swing in. I appreciate the more neutral color way of the swing, but I do wish it was beige instead of grey- but I know that is a very personal preference. The size makes it hard to fit your doorways, but I know it’s important to have a wide stable base.

Great Baby Swing
I received the Simple Sway Swing through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and it’s honestly been such a helpful addition to our home with my 4-month-old baby. My baby, who generally doesn’t love containers, gets noticeably calmer when I place them in the swing. The gentle side-to-side swaying seems to relax them almost right away and has become a staple in our kitchen! Sometimes they’ll just sit quietly and watch what’s going on around them, and other times it helps them settle enough to drift into a little nap. It’s definitely become one of our go-to soothing spots and has worked great when I need a moment to prep lunch for my toddler, play with them, bake, or fold laundry. The swaying motion seems to help the most when it comes to calming them down, but the vibration and music are nice options when they need a little extra soothing - we particularly like the water sounds! I’ve rated this swing a 4 out of 5 stars, because with my 4 month old that weighs a little over 15lbs, I feel that the swing can be a little slow to get started, which can just be because he’s a bigger baby. One of my favorite features is that you can either plug it in or use batteries. We mostly keep it plugged in where we use it most, but having the battery option is nice if I want to move it to another room. It is slightly larger than I anticipated, but is extremely sturdy and has a really cute design on the seat. I love a baby product that works well, but love even more when it’s not an eye-sore. Overall, the swing has helped create a calmer environment in our home. It gives my baby a cozy place to relax and gives me a few extra minutes to breathe or get things done, which any parent knows can make a big difference!

Helpful addition
The Graco Simple Sway Baby Swing was a helpful addition during the newborn stage. The gentle side-to-side motion is calming, and it definitely helped soothe my baby when I needed a few hands-free moments to eat, shower, or get things done around the house. I liked the gentle swaying motion and multiple swing speeds that actually comfort the baby. It also had music, sounds, and vibration options for extra soothing. It’s compact size and plug in option made it very comfortable to use in our dining room. Unfortunately, the motor can be a little noisy at higher speeds. The seat position may also feel slightly reclined for very young newborns. Overall, this swing does a good job calming baby and is especially useful during those early months when you just need a safe place to set baby down briefly. I recieved this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

We love our Graco baby swing! This product was received as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It’s lightweight and easy to move from room to room, especially with the battery option — no need to stay near an outlet. The vibration feature is a big hit, and our baby really enjoys it and seems so comfortable and relaxed. It’s been such a convenient and helpful addition to our daily routine!

Baby Whisperer
This is the ONE thing I wish I had for all 3 of my babies. We are on our third baby and I received the Graco Simple Sway Swing from the Stellar Product Testing Panel two weeks ago. This has been an absolute game changer for being able to put our baby down but still feel like she is interacting and part of the family. Our household is very busy and I need both hands free more than before. Typically I would use a pack n play in the living room or a floor mat but these are either more dangerous with kids and dogs in the house or they make me feel like I stuck her in the corner. The angle of the simple sway swing keeps my daughter fully engaged in the chaos of the dinner routine and I feel she is entertained with the movement, music, and vibration. It also has served as a means to rock her to sleep for a nap when we are busy during the day. We had moved it to clean the house and I found myself looking for it because we had begun to love it so much. It is very versatile with the ability to use batteries or plug into the wall. The swing is also aesthetically pleasing and is not an eye sore in the living room. The base width is a little large so you need an open space for it but that wouldn't hold me back from purchasing or recommending.

Not worth the price
It swings. Is a little fast on the first setting and very creaky. Difficult to put together as there’s only pictures and no words and it’s hard to tell what part is what. I had to look up a youtube video to put it together. Not needing a battery for the vibration would be stellar as I’ve only had the swing 5 months and have had to replace the battery more times than I can count. It also doesn’t always turn on, I’ve had to turn it off and then on again multiple times before it would turn on. It was a gift so it works for now, but I personally wouldn’t buy this myself or for anyone else.
