Swing for newborns
Swing for newborns is very important for kids. They remind the children about how well mom had in her tummy: calm and harmonious.
Why do we need?
Undoubtedly, such a thing as a swing for the baby, is not included in the list of essential items. Not every family in our time buys them. However, it is worth thinking about what advantages the mother herself will receive:
- Any mother is ready to go out of her way to do all the housework planned for the day. But how to do it, if the baby is always on the hands? Our swings will come to your aid. Mom will remake all the cases and will be pleased, and will spend the evening with an excellent mood, which she can share with the baby and dad.
- Remember yourself in childhood. For a child, swing is joy and pleasure. He will be just happy to ride them, and you will get a great mood.
- Your child will strengthen not only the vestibular apparatus, but also the muscles. He will be less naughty and will please his parents with a joyful mood.
How old do you use?
Most manufacturers of children's swings say that such products can be used from birth to one year. However, this approach is not entirely correct. In some models, there is no adjustment of the back, which can not but alarm the parents. It is worth paying attention to the weight of the baby. The smallest crumbs, the weight of which is less than 3.5 kg., Can simply sink in this swing. They will not be very comfortable in them. Pay attention also to the weight category. Almost all designs are designed for weight up to 18 kg.
How to use?
Every mommy should understand that a swing is not an educator, but a means to calm the child. Often parents for a long time leave the baby in such devices. This can lead to undesirable consequences. Long swinging causes dizziness, nervousness.
Swing is desirable to use no more than 2-3 hours a day. It is recommended to take breaks, otherwise the child may begin to perceive the swinging negatively. If you do not unfasten the seat belts for a long time, the baby will feel discomfort.
The following are recommendations that can help young parents use the swing for children:
- Being strapped in a swing, the child should feel comfort and freedom. Make sure the seat belts do not squeeze the baby.
- If the swing is on a hill, an adult should stand next to them and constantly monitor the child.
- When carrying items, it is not necessary to take up parts that are not intended for transportation (for example, for an arc with toys).
- It is not recommended to use the swing more than 3 hours a day.
- The baby should be in your field of vision.
- A rocking chair can be used when transporting children in a car only if it is securely attached.

Types and models
The most simple and inexpensive designs include suspended options. They are comfortable, safe, do not take up much space. Such models are attached either to the ceiling or to the doorway on the crossbar. They are easy to clean and install. It is necessary to fix the product in such a way that the child can easily reach its feet to the floor. When buying such models, make sure the safety rails are quite strong and do not bend.
Floor designs are quite mobile copies: they are easy to take with you. However, the price of such models is significantly different from the cost of other swings. Many outdoor products have suckers with which they are attached to the floor.
There are several varieties of such a swing. The chaise lounge is a chair which if necessary can be transferred from one place to another. As part of such a device there are runners, which, if necessary, are easily blocked. So the swing becomes like a hammock.
The design of such models has a soft seat with straps that are responsible for safety, the presence of musical effects and a set of toys suspended from an arc or attached to a car. Some combined devices have tables for eating.
Manufacturers of such products take into account all the features associated with the age of the baby and his weight. For example, the baby seat has an anatomical shape. The body of the child support the original pads. The back of the device for children from 6 months is equipped with a regulator, which can give three options: lying, half-sitting and sitting.
There are also electronic designs. Many parents choose the cradle swing. Such products are intended solely for motion sickness. It has everything you need to ensure that your baby falls asleep peacefully: musical miniatures, a nightlight that simulates luminous stars, and even a control panel. Such swings can work both from a network, and from batteries.
The rocking chair is suitable for children from a year to two years. They can also be used for babies up to one year old. Such swings are calculated on weight from 12 to 18 kg. They can be easily moved around the apartment.
The design of such products can be compared with street variants: wide supports, swinging is carried out in two directions. The inclusion is accompanied by some vibration, but the baby may not like it. If you are going to make a choice in favor of a particular model, ask the child if everything suits him. Find out this right in the store, putting the baby on the swing and turning them on. In such models, there is a speed regulator (wheel, button). Practically in all products music is provided that cannot but please the child.
Swing-transformers are great for children from 6 months. Thanks to their design, they easily turn into a cradle or high chair for feeding the baby. Of the features of these models can be noted soft seat and adjustable backrest.
Rocking centers - multifunctional versions of the swing. Such devices differ in a variety of modes. Some models can simulate, for example, driving a car, jumping kangaroos, tree sounds and much more. Such products can not be attributed to the suspension and portable devices, since they are quite heavy. These swings are quite expensive.
