He is now 13 months old and we are still using it with no problems (he's 23 lbs). This swing is literally perfect. Small, practical, and best of all, affordable. My son loves taking naps in it and it has been the reason I have been able to get anything done around the house. It does make a clicking noise but I don't mind it at all in fact, it helps him sleep better!!

It's always hard to know if a baby will like a swing so I didn't want to spend too much on one, and this is a great value for the price.","reviewer_name":"jilian5"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Love the price","rating":4,"content":"I bought this a few weeks ago for my 6 mths old daughter. I love the price and it's much bigger in terms of size for my daughter to fix in comfortably and to grow with for another few mths. I did have a similar product but my daughter out grew the holder and hence my new purchase.\n\nThe only thing I didn'thlike about this product was that the mobile didn't spin to keep my daughter entertained like the other swing I had , where the mobile spinned and lit up. The vibration part of it doesnt seem to work as well either. Other than that not a bad purchased and it helps to keep my daughter calm","reviewer_name":"Happy mom1"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"High quality and good value swing","rating":4,"content":"This is a very well made swing, and my wife and I especially like the soothing features included in the electronics panel (the classical music is our favorite!). The swing has a nice range of motion from very gentle to more spritely. The only possible improvement to this swing would be if the seat turned sideways for forward and back motion, rather than just side to side. However, what the swing does, it does well!","reviewer_name":"PairOBears1"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"great features","rating":5,"content":"I bought it a year ago but my daughter loved it.

Baby has always either been in arms or in crib so it's something's new. About the swing, the vibrations don't seem to work being plugged into the wall and have yet to try batteries, but that's the reason we bought it, so we wouldn't have to use batteries. On that note, that is kind of disappointing, the seining itself is fine and I also wish the stars that dangle moved or rotated or something . The kind of just sit there. Overall it's okay . Was expecting a little more for the price we paid .","reviewer_name":"Audrey0201"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Simple and great!","rating":5,"content":"We love our Graco swing. It has helped get our newborn to sleep and take much needed naps at times. It was easy to put together and I love that it has the vibration feature as well as the swinging from side to side.

I've never won anything so I was amazed- and they shipped it out right away. It was a few months before I actually had my baby but he is now 4 months old and loves the swing! I love that it has a plug in option so we don't blow through batteries, and the chair vibrates too (that part takes batteries but we are still on the first set!) He loves the stars above his head and the sound machine part is great to lull him to sleep. I am very pleased with the swing and would definitely recommend it.","reviewer_name":"HBP75"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Excellent!!","rating":5,"content":"My son loves this swing!

My baby loves this swing. I had my baby almost four months ago and have been using the swing for that long. Today I noticed that it was struggling to swing with my son in it. I called graco's customer service line and the friendly man put me on hold for a moment and came back and said that the motor in the color i needed was on back order and would be here in 6-8 weeks but he was also sending a replacement motor in the wrong color to hold me over until then. Graco went above and beyond to make sure I continue to love my swing. Which I do. I would recommend any of thier products because they stand by them and have the easiest customer service line to deal with.","reviewer_name":"suze"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Simple and sweet","rating":5,"content":"I bought this for my 3 week old and she's sleeping in it right now. I wish the patterns were more girl-friendly but I settled for the yellow and brown one. I love it and so does she. Instructions are terribly half-written with no labels, but if you move the pieces around you can figure it out. I would still recommend this product. Swings ARE a necessity.","reviewer_name":"AmandaNDT"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Works well","rating":4,"content":"My 1 week old was having trouble sleeping at night, as was expected, but she seemed to especially not like sleeping flat on her back with no motion. My friend bought this for us at our shower so we decided to try it out for the night time. Within 30 seconds of her being in the swing she fell asleep and sleep for a good 3 hours. So, yes it does work well. However I do still have a couple complaints. The swing makes a ticking sound when the motor and trying to move the chair which can be loud and sometimes annoying. Also, the music plays rather loud even on the lowest setting. Not too loud to wake the baby, but louder than I would like it to be for her.","reviewer_name":"DocGood21"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Great features","rating":5,"content":"I bought this a week a ago and im so happy i did.

When we first put it together the swing would make an obnoxiously loud clunking noise and would stop swinging randomly. Customer service was great and sent a new motor. I was surprised with how fast they responded and had high hopes. I sit here right now with my 7 week old in the swing and the loud clunking noise is beyond frustrating and annoying. Although it no longer stops swinging, the noise is not worth it. Graco, your response in sending me a new motor was great but the overall product is absolutely awful. I would never recommend this swing.","reviewer_name":"gbrothers"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Great item","rating":5,"content":"I received this as a baby shower gift for my son.

It was just way to heavy to keep transferring it back and forth. She needs it on her days off. So we went to look at swings. We looked at the one our daughter has. I really didn't care for it. We saw the Graco. It was very light weight and built as strong as that other monster swing without being enormous. The Graco doesn't take up near as much space. We are very happy with our new Graco swing. and the baby loves it.","reviewer_name":"BaconFan"},{"date":"10 years ago","title":"Best invention in the world","rating":5,"content":"I loved the swing, oh how it was amazing. My baby loved the swing. Worked every time and I loved every feature don't really know what else to say good, it was amazing.

The swing we had didn't have any \"get up and go\" to actually move him at all, even though it was a brand-new swing. My husband and I knew we needed something that had the momentum to swing a heavier (but still really young!) baby! This swing is perfect for just that! It rocks my son to sleep and calms him when it seems nothing else can.\n\nThe mobile gets in the way of my son's head so if you have an older baby, perhaps keep the mobile off. But it is a great addition.\n\nThe swing makes a gliding noise at it swings but honestly, every swing my son has ever been in does this. I think it helps to relax him anyways so it's not a big deal.\n\nYou have to put the swing together yourself and it is not labeled in the best way so that can be a little challenging but it is not difficult at all and is relatively easy to do.\n\nAll in all, we are pleased with the purchase! It is a great price for a great product!

There's 6 different levels to choose from and 15 different songs so you wouldn't have to hear the same annoying song over and over again.

All opinions are 100% my own.\n\nWith seven children and nine grand kids, we have been through our share of swings. Often we have had several swings lined up in a row depending on the timing of the grandchildren. I don't think any of ours didn't love being in the swing.\n\nOur current little one loves being in our Simple Sway™ Swing. I like that it is quiet and will gently sway back and forth just like I do when rocking them. Talk about a back and arm saver! I love having all the children and grand children around but it does get busy on our weekly Camp Granma night. This swing has been a life saver for me when more than one of the little ones isn't happy.\n\nThis swing has a pretty small frame and can be easily moved around as needed. With the battery option, we can take it out on the porch or place it exactly where we need it and not have to worry about plugging it in. When possible, we do plug it in to save the life of the batteries since this swing will have many miles on it over the next year.\n\nBetween the vibration, choice of 15 songs, as well as sweet soothing sounds; this swing will comfort and calm the fussiest of children. We will be ordering another unit next month as we have grand baby number ten arriving the end of August and since this swing is able to hold little ones up to 30 pounds, we will need more than one to keep everyone happy.\n\nI would recommend this swing to new parents and grand parents. It is worth it's weight in gold when it calms and comforts little fussy pants.","reviewer_name":"SimplySherryl"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"Amazing, space saving solution!","rating":5,"content":"With my first child I was gifted a rather large swing that required the batteries to be changed ALL THE TIME. The swing itself was a real life saver, but it took up a ton of room, would often run out of juice, and the lullabies provided weren't all that great.\nAll of that being said: The Graco Simple Sway Swing is my favorite thing ever! Not only is it just as fantastic as the full sized swing, it is in fact better. I'm not sure why I never considered a smaller swing. This thing is so much more portable, and can very easily be tucked away so that it doesn't have it's own place in the middle of the living room.\nI love having the option to plug this into the wall so that I don't have the extra cost of batteries unless absolutely necessary. The music provided with the swing is nice because it includes some really nice classical music that is actually pretty soothing. The vibration feature is pretty awesome, because sometimes babies just seem to need that movement to get comfort, so it's just overall good to have.\nThis swing is really quiet, which was a big surprise to me. My previous swing made a sort of weird click-y noise. This swing is nearly silent.\n\nWhile I received this product for free, the opinions and thoughts included in this review are my own.","reviewer_name":"misspackard87"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"A great, simple swing!","rating":5,"content":"While I received this product for free, the opinions and thoughts included in this review are my own. I am using this swing for my infant son and he absolutely loves it! It's small enough to fit in several spaces in my home such as the living room and the baby's nursery. The rocking is a nice, gentle side-to-side motion that soothes my son right to sleep. You can adjust the speed to have the swing move faster or slower. There is also an option for music or nature sounds. My son really enjoys the music. It's very soothing for him. I also like that the volume is adjustable so I can make it as quiet or loud as I need to. The mobile at the top doesn't spin but my little guy loves looking at the cute little stars. It's a great swing for this price point. It is perfect for our needs and does exactly what you would expect a swing to do.

He loves the sounds and the rocking motion that it provides. This one gives the rocking motion and not a swinging motion. Swings go front to back and this one goes side to side for the infant to enjoy. He enjoys looking at the mobile with the stars on it as well. Operations are easy to understand and instructions are also easy to read and understand. The instructions make putting the item together very quickly. The seat itself uses batteries for the soothing vibrating seat.

I didn't think I needed a swing with baby #3 but I was totally wrong. The Graco Simple Sway Swing in Abington has been a lifesaver. It is small and has easily fit into our small city apartment and offers lots of features that my baby enjoys. He absolutely loves swaying in his swing and listening to one of the 15 songs & sounds. The swing has 6 speeds that offers a speed for any of his moods. The swing also has built in 2 speed vibration that also assists in soothing a fussy baby. The Abington is a classic neutral theme that will easily match any nursery decor.","reviewer_name":"Scherrie D"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"Small Footprint, Great Tunes, Quiet Operation!","rating":5,"content":"While I received this product for free, the opinions and thoughts included in this review are my own.\n\nLiterally, as I write this review, my granddaughter is fast asleep in her new Graco Simple Sway Swing. She. Loves. This. Swing! Which means, so do I!\n\nWe chose the Abbington print which complements my black and gray living room decor perfectly. I love that the print is neutral so that we can pass this swing along when she outgrows it! Plus, this isn't one of those giant swings that require rearranging the living room in order to make it fit - it has a really small footprint considering that the swing itself is full-size. And, just because it has a small footprint doesn't mean it doesn't pack a big, effective punch! This swing is loaded with great features from really nicely chosen songs and sounds (all 15 of them) to the quiet operation of the swaying swing. Seriously - imagine those old clunky swings that keep baby awake just from the sounds of operation ... this, thankfully, is not like that at all. In fact, the quiet operation is almost a little too soothing for me as I work at my computer less than a foot away, I kind of want to nap right along with the baby!\n\nAbout the swaying - I am so used to the traditional front to back motion of a baby swing so I really wasn't sure how this would work out - judging by the sleeping baby to my left, I'd say fantastically!\n\nWe had a small swing before testing out this one - not only was it small, it had pretty awful music and it only ran on batteries. If your baby loves the swing as much as Chloe does, batteries just don't cut it. Well, unless you own stock in some battery company. Plus, when you're soothing a baby at 2am and the batteries die, it doesn't matter how much stock you own if you should happen to be out of batteries. Lucky for us we plugged in the Graco Simple Sway Swing and we're good to go!\n\nThe swing features six swing speeds and I'm really pleased by this. While we haven't really needed to crank it up past 4, I like being able to tailor the speed based on whether or not she's awake, or has recently eaten. She's still just 10 pounds so I'm thinking as she starts to fill in the swing we'll get to play with those higher speeds!\n\nIf I had to find fault in this swing, it's definitely not in the swing itself, but in the instructions booklet that comes with it. I found the instructions to be just a little less clear than I'd like though I was able to put this swing together by myself in less than 20 minutes. Overall, I'm completely happy with this swing!!","reviewer_name":"Erica at ButeauFull Chaos"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"A lifesaver for every new mom","rating":5,"content":"The Graco Simple Sway Swing is a great swing option. Assembling is really easy and didn’t take me long to do. This baby swing small frame design fits in any room of your home so you can easily keep baby close wherever you are. It’s nice that this baby swing gives you the option to either use batteries for convenience or to plug it into a wall outlet. The cord isn’t very long when it’s plugged in but you can always use an extension cord. The swing goes gently from side to side with six swing speeds which really help to soothe the baby. And it has two speed vibrations in the seat of the swing, plays fifteen songs and nature sounds. It is really comforting and it relaxes the baby. My son really calms down when we go for a ride with the car and this swing has the same effect on him. No more driving around for me. My son really calms down in the swing when he is getting fussy. Usually when he was getting fussy we had to hold him. But now we have the option to put him in the swing. He sometimes is even getting so calm that he falls asleep and naps in the swing. The swing includes a nice mobile with three soft toys. My son just loves staring at them and he tries to touch and grab them with his hands. It is designed to engage the baby’s imagination and to give the baby visual stimulation and entertainment.\nThe swing comes with a five-point harness so the baby can be securely strapped and can’t fall out. The swing is really comfortable because of the deep plush seat and has a removable infant head support to keep the baby cozy and comfortable.\nThe swing is well made, durably, is quiet and stays in place as it swings.

When the box arrived I couldn't believe such an awesome swing was inside that little box. Once we place the frame , seat other items together the swing was ready.

The Graco Swing also has 6 swing speeds, 15 songs and sounds to soothe and amuse your baby.

It even plugs into the wall, so you don’t have to worry about running out of batteries when your babies are screaming at 2 am.","reviewer_name":"mrsmarieosborne"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"The soothing simple sway swing","rating":5,"content":"I received the Simple Sway Swing and compensation from Graco® as part of a sponsored program.

All opinions are my own.\nI believe is a MUST HAVE for all parents. It’s a very simple swing yet, it has great features that will comfort baby. It’s also very simple to put together and fits into any small space. Super easy and user friendly, comes with a cute star mobile for your little cuties to watch as they sway in their swing. It holds up to 30lbs, meaning your little one will use it for quite some time, the plush cover is super comfy and has head support cushion as well. Lastly, it comes with a plug for wall outlet as well as battery. Just in case you want to take it on the go with you. Such an amazing, sturdy, simple, affordable swing for your little ones.","reviewer_name":"SewFatty"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"Awesome Swing!","rating":5,"content":"I received a Graco® Simple Sway Swing and compensation from Graco® as part of a sponsored program.

All opinions are my own. Some of the highlights of this swing are: 1) Its size! This swing has a small footprint so it's great for smaller houses. My house is only 1200 square feet so we don't have a lot of room to spare for big, bulky baby equipment. This swing is small enough to tuck away into a corner without being underfoot. 2) It is lightweight. The swing only weighs around 19lbs so it's super easy to move from room to room.","reviewer_name":"StuffParentsNeed"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"Great Swing!","rating":4,"content":"I received the simple sway swing and compensation from Graco® as part of a sponsored program.

All opinions are my own. With a transition from two to three kids, having a great swing was a must. But with three kids there's a lack of space in our home. Luckily this swing doesn't take up as much room as the swings we had with our other two kids but still has all of the perks. My newborn loves napping while listening to the music playing and lounging while watching the mobile go round and round. Being able to take a few moments to myself to shower, eat, or take care of my other two kids is a lifesaver! Another plus? The AC adapter.","reviewer_name":"SimmworksFamily"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"Best Baby Swing!","rating":5,"content":"I received a Simple Sway Swing and compensation from Graco® as part of a sponsored program.

Not only is it pretty, but it has a feature that I wish I would have had when my first daughter was a baby 11 years ago - the option to run it on batteries or plugged in. It is so nice to not have to worry about batteries dying at the very worst time. I also love how compact it is.

Rather than standing out and looking tacky like many baby products do, it fit right in with the decor. I love the soft gender-neutral colors. My absolute favorite feature is really how compact it is. I have four kids so I need all of the space I can get, and this swing is small enough to give me that. I can move it anywhere in the house thanks to how light it is, and if there's not an outlet nearby, it takes batteries too.","reviewer_name":"NineMoreMonths"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"Great swing for mom & baby!","rating":5,"content":"I am a compensated blogger who received the product to review but I also am a mom of three who have used Graco products in the past.

All opinions are my own. Our baby is due in less than two weeks and we are so happy to have this swing to replace an older model that just doesn't measure up. There are so many things I love about this swing. The footprint is on the smaller side, so it's a space-saver. I can plug it in and preserve battery life. It has 6 speeds so it won't be too fast for my newborn. Not only does it have 15 songs, but sweet soothing nature sounds as well. I'm very much looking forward to this having a long life as part of our baby gear rotation because it allows up to 30 lbs of baby in the roomy, plush seat.

The seat although sits the baby up too much, i had to get strap covers to help hold up my baby's head. It doesnt look comfortable at all for the baby shes sitting almost straight up. It's hard to place baby in without waking her. The nature sounds arent loud enough to hear. Not a good swing for a newborn.

I am 8 months pregnant and have no energy half the time but was super excited when FedEx brought this to my door. The swing almost completely snaps together. The longest part was putting the seat cover on. The cover snaps over everything, do not try to wrap it though behind the part where the poles snap in,  it doesn't fit like that. A MAJOR PLUS is the ac adaptor! No batteries required to run the swing! The seat vibratior requires batteries but  to use the swing itself it runs on electric. The preset sounds are soothing. The motor isn't too loud. You almost don't notice it. Excited to see how my son likes it when he adrives.","reviewer_name":"Nllafon"},{"date":"9 years ago","title":"Nice Swing.","rating":3,"content":"I received this swing with a defective part and the retail store i bought this from didn't want to do anything about it.

Not only do I love the swing but i also highly recommend using Graco for purchases like these.

I wanted a simple swing that sways sideways. This serves the purpose. My baby likes sleeping on it but we do no use it for more than 30 mins at a time.\nNegatives - It makes a weird sound when I put the swing to a speed of more than 2. This feels like as if the swing is cheaply made. Also my baby keeps staring at the roof of the swing but the mobile is very simple and not very bright and colorful. I wish it were more attractive.\nMy swing has some black spots on the white cloth which looks like rust. However I like the fabric. Also the vibration feature does not work with power.

Plug in option is a great idea. The music, adjustable swing speed is nice although the swing is rather noisy in motion. Unfortunately the mobile does not turn, seems this would be easy to do but for some reason they didn't seem to think it was important. The music is loud enough but the other sounds are not very loud. Vibration feature is nice but it only works on batteries. Overall it works well but a few feature changes/upgrades (mobile rotation and vibration through wall plug) would make it great.","reviewer_name":"dads little princess"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"The Baby Loves It!","rating":3,"content":"This is a pretty good infant swing. The deep, plus seat material is soft and cozy for baby, the side-to-side swing motion is great, and the small frame design fits easily anywhere in your home. And, of course, I LOVE that it can plug-in! However, I was hoping that the seat vibration would also be part of the plug-in feature, but sadly, the 2-speed vibration feature requires batteries (which are not included). However, the seat does have the option to go battery-powered should you want to take the swing somewhere without electricity (like outside) which is a nice feature. I also like the neutral color. Plus, the baby loved it! Happy as can be to be in the seat!\n\nThe stand was super easy to set up, but the seat itself was not so easy, and makes me think it will be a pain to take apart and wash (though, if it's like previous Graco swings I've owned, it'll wash up perfectly!). The seat also doesn't have any recline options. I was hoping maybe the stars would rotate on their own, but it's just the standard mobile, and the same electronic music, although it does have more music options than my last swing. However, the soothing sounds are very hard to hear over the sound of the swing, as the swing itself is kind of loud.\n\nOverall, it's a good more \"basic\" swing with a great plug-in feature that baby is sure to love.\n\nI received this product for free, but the opinions and thoughts included in this review are my own.","reviewer_name":"whatsupfagans"},{"date":"11 years ago","title":"loud","rating":2,"content":"Just bought this swing about a month ago and It has one of the loudest clicking noise while swinging.

To top it off, the motor made a loud clacking sound since we first used it and it just got louder and louder. In retrospect, I wish I would have gone with a swing with more features.
