Children's swing chairs
Today's technologies are focused on the ever-increasing convenience of human life, and this applies even to the smallest members of human society. If at one time mother could only rock a child on her own hands, then today she can simplify her task and give more joy to the baby.swing.
Someone is already successfully using and happy with such a find, others still do not really know anything about this invention, while the third is not at all lucky - they bought it, but chose an unsuccessful model. It is necessary to figure out what it is.
Why buy?
To begin with, why in general the swing chair was invented, and what is its use for children. To be honest, this concept is very blurry - it is something between a cradle or a high chair on one side and a swing - on the other. The possibility of rocking in such a piece of furniture is necessarily present, only the question of what form the seat has remains: to pay attention to this point you need in strict reference to the age and needs of the baby.
Consequently, such a purchase necessarily combines the functions of several pieces of furniture at once. Like a swing, she rocks the baby either helping the smallest fall asleep or just entertaining (and in parallel training the vestibular apparatus) older; in any case, such an attraction is located housesso it is available without any queues, and regardless of weather conditions.
Like a crib, she lets the baby sleep moreover, thanks to the rocking, it allows the child to be put to sleep very quickly, and also so that the mother is not tired, even if the baby is naughty - especially since there are electrically-driven models that sway autonomously.
Some models are a chair transformer, which can be used separately - often it involves a curved runners under, by analogy with a rocking chair; At the same time, it easily turns into a swing, because it is sold together with the frame, and is equipped with special hooks for hanging.
It should be added that manufacturers try to achieve as much as possible the maximum convenience of their models. Many of them weigh a little and provide for assembly to a more compact state, convenient for transportation outside the city.
The same quality turns out to be very useful when the question of storage arises when the product is not used for a long time.
Varieties
United by a common name, children's swings mean three completely different types, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Outdoor
Be sure to be sold complete with a frame, that is, they represent a completely independent design. For this reason, quite cumbersome and occupy a lot of spacebut at the expense of widely spaced supports guarantee a high degree of stability.
Their large dimensions literally make the manufacturer release them collapsible, which is convenient for storage and transportation, but can lead to a problem associated with the complexity of self-assembly in a balanced state. Good for spacious apartments and frequent crossings, can be brought out.
Suspended
Some experts are inclined to equate the floor and suspension swings, but there is also a variant of the child seat, which involves a third-party frame - for example, a doorway, or a two-story bed specially adapted for such needs.
Here it should be understood that even with conditionally simple disassembly, such a structure is not so easy to move to another place, because there may not be the necessary conditions for installation. In addition, the fact of attachment "to something suitable" indicates that fixing the seat does not always guarantee one hundred percent safety.
At the same time, this is the best option for a limited living space, and if the installation site was initially chosen successfully, and it is not planned to change it, then there will be no doubt about safety.
Electric jacks
In principle, this is the same floor swing, but with the difference that they are equipped with an electric drive, which sets the cradle in motion without the direct participation of parents. This is very convenient, because it allows you to rock the baby, while doing some other things in parallel, and also greatly simplifies the task of putting to sleep the very restless children who can be capricious for hours, which can physically tire my mother.
At the same time, such a mechanism is quite large, it is more difficult to reduce to a compact size and harder to transport. It is expensive, and can not always be used. It is a pity if the expensive purchase is idle, but regular use leads to the fact that the baby does not stand up and constantly falls asleep, which does not contribute to its development.
Among other things, some parents complain that in the event of a breakdown of the electrical mechanism, the entire structure becomes completely useless until it is repaired.
How to choose?
Choosing a swing chair, you should pay attention to several important factors. The very first is the specifics of use. It is necessary to decide on what the purchase is necessary for: so that the baby falls asleep in it or that the child of the age of 2-3 years rolls around like on a swing. It is also important to take into account the parameters of the product and compare them with the size of the room where it will be installed. Additions in the form of tables, rattles or play lullabies in electric swing - optional.
When fundamentally inappropriate models are eliminated, you should think about security. First of all, the device should be designed for a baby of appropriate age and weight. These indicators are usually listed in the description of each model. It is necessary to check all fastenings and evaluate their strength: if it is in doubt, the acquisition of this model should be categorically refused.
A special moment - the reliability of the child's fixation in the chair: best of all, the baby was surrounded by bumpers on all four sides, and there was also an inguinal strap with three or five fasteners.
The fewer devices for protection, the higher the need for parents to stay close and not be distracted by any outside business when the child rolls. Finally, if several models meet all the desired parameters at once, you can give preference to those brands that have managed to earn recognition among consumers. These include, first of all, Fairy, Allen and Adbor.
