Parent Tester – Gina Raymond While there are several safety measures parents and caregivers should follow when using a baby swing, perhaps the most important one is to supervise their baby when they are in the swing. “[While in a swing], babies need constant supervision the same way they would in a bathtub,” says Ben Hoffman, MD, CPST-I, FAAP, professor of pediatrics at Oregon Health & Science University and president-elect of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

One of the standout features of this swing is the multi-directional seat, which allows your baby to swing facing front, left, or right. This versatility ensures that your little one can always have a good view of their surroundings, keeping them engaged and entertained.

While the bouncer portion wasn’t the lightest, we think a parent who is recovering from childbirth could carry it without trouble, especially because it’s equipped with a handle. Just be sure not to carry the bouncer while your baby is in it and only use the bouncer on the floor. Using this swing was easy to do, too, because the dials and switches weren’t fancy and felt very straightforward.

We found that the music on this swing was rather loud on its highest setting, reaching 72 A-weighted decibels (dBA). While decibels (dB) are the units in which sound is measured, dBA is the expression of the sound in the air as perceived by our ears. The noise level of normal conversation is 60-70 dBA, so this swing got slightly louder than that. We know you could look at your baby all day. Cassia rotates 360 degrees, so wherever you are in the room – you never have to miss a smile.
