[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Being part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I've had the privilege of experiencing the Graco SmartSense Soothing Baby Swing, and it has truly made a significant difference in my parenting journey. The swing's ability to intuitively respond to my baby's needs with gentle sounds and motions has been a true blessing. While the swing has many positives, one improvement I would suggest is the placement of the buttons. Having them at the bottom of the swing can be a bit inconvenient. Moving them closer to the top would make them more accessible and user-friendly. Despite this minor inconvenience, the swing has proven to be exceptionally durable. It has withstood the active presence of my two-year-old with ease, showcasing impressive material quality and construction that gives me confidence in its longevity. One aspect that could enhance the swing's usability is an addition for improved mobility. Being able to effortlessly move it from room to room would be a convenient feature, especially during those moments when quick relocation is necessary. I particularly appreciate the swing's versatility in adjusting the speed to suit my baby's preferences, providing a tailored soothing experience. The cry detection technology is also impressive, automatically responding to my baby's cries and adjusting settings accordingly, creating a calming environment and also increasing those much needed hands free moments. The material is organic and I love that it is easily removable to be washed, baby seems very comfortable in the seat and there are different levels to recline the swing. Overall, the Baby Swing has seamlessly integrated into our daily routine, providing a soothing and comforting environment for my baby. The thoughtful design and functionality of the swing have not gone unnoticed, adding a touch of modern elegance to our living space. This product has truly enhanced our parenting journey, and I couldn't be happier with its performance and benefits.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given this swing to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I’m so glad! This swing has been great. My baby finds it comfortable and likes the variety of soothing movements and motions. I love how neutral this swing is because it looks great in my living room among my furniture. The buttons are user friendly and straightforward. I feel comfortable leaving my baby in this swing while I’m folding laundry or preparing dinner (or drinking coffee on the couch)! I would recommend this swing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My first thoughts on the SmartSense Soothing Swing were ‘wow! I’m impressed with this design!’ This is such a cute, slim, modern looking swing. It doesn’t take up much space, and the color scheme is amazing. It fits in our kitchen and is easy to tuck away when we are not using it. My little one is on the bigger side (think 99th percentile…) and he still fits in the swing comfortably! He loves the little toys that hang above him, and is always cooing and talking to them while he rocks. He is a very movement oriented (constant swaying, rocking, or bouncing) type of kiddo.. so this swing has been a lifesaver in the sense of getting a little more hands-free time! The cry detector is awesome! I love that it switches through different sounds and motions to try to soothe. Sometimes my little guy just gets bored and needs some new movements or sounds. It’s especially helpful when I’m making dinner or washing dishes and my hands are not clean/dry enough to click the button and change the setting. One thing that I was not super impressed by is the size and placement of the buttons. Since the buttons are all on the bottom of the swing, it would be helpful if they were just a tad bigger so that when my hands are full or wet I could click the button with a foot! Having to bend down to turn the swing on and change the setting can be kind of tricky with a child in tow (I have two under two.. so chances are somebody is in my arms haha). With that being said, I would still recommend and use this swing! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with the SmartSense Soothing Swing.. it has been a lifesaver!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing, it has been a great addition to our baby routine. My favorite feature is the organic cotton cover which is washable and preferred over synthetics. Compared to the swing I used with my older child, this one has so many more features such as cry detection, but also way more swing styles. My infant enjoyed having a variety of options for swinging and it let us enjoy the swing for soothing and excitement, depending on the need. I also liked that this swing had a higher and more comfortable basin / insert than others. It is rather bulky and heavy, but the benefit is two fold compared to other models - one, it doesn’t have a wide base which is amazing if you’ve ever tripped over a swing leg on the widespread style you know what I mean…and two, it has fun dangling characters without a bulky overhead unit, which made getting my infant into the swing a breeze and much less Tetris like than other swings I’ve had. A feature the baby doesn’t care about, but I do as a mother, is that it is aesthetically pleasing and was something I was happy to have in our living space. The design is very neutral which allowed it to transition to any of the areas of my home I wanted to use it in. An added benefit is the song selection: I was pleased with the quality of the music and the song choices, as well as the fact that it didn’t just auto replay the same two tinny songs. It actually has classical music playlist which is great, besides the white noise styles. The swing motion (there are four swing styles and three recline positions to choose from) with the added cry detection gave me some of the much needed hands free time to tackle making a meal or folding teeny laundry. Overall I’d say I’m very happy with this item.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I truly love this swing and all of its features! When walking into a room, it is actually a very aesthetically pleasing swing. Personally, I like neutrals and don't want something with bright colors taking up the entire room. It's soft white compliments any room I decide to put it in in my home. Even the toys on the mobile are soft and pretty. My son is 5 months old and the infant insert perfectly cradled him so he felt comfortable and happy. I really love the way the harness is connected. No need to maneuver his arms in awkward positions. I just put him in, watch him smile and then connect around him. Same with taking him out. I had never seen the 3 piece harness and really love it! Another great feature of taking him in and out is the mobile easily moves back and forth so I don't accidentally bonk his head. Now for the actual features of the swing: there are so many! It's really great how it can go in so many directions and motions based on what my baby needs in that moment. I'd say his favorite feature is front to back and with the vibrations on high! A nice surprise were all of the sound options. Again, based on what my baby needs in the moment it is there. If he needs to be calmed, I usually opt for white noise but if he is alert and I just need to be hands free for a few minutes he and I both really enjoy the music. The only feature that hasn't been a home run is the cry detect feature. I think it is just too much for him and over stimulates. If he gets upset I will just put on a feature I know he already likes, such as the vibrations. This swing has helped me give my baby a place to be safely put down while I can get some tasks done. I received this swing from the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got to try this swing thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The standout feature of this swing is its cry detect technology, which automatically starts swinging and playing soothing sounds when it detects my baby's cries. This has been a game-changer during those moments when I couldn't immediately attend to my little one. The swing offers a variety of gentle motions and calming melodies, which have consistently helped comfort my baby. In terms of aesthetics and design, this swing is sleek and modern. It blends well with our home decor, which is a definite plus. The construction feels sturdy and safe, providing peace of mind. The infant body support is plush and supports my baby comfortably. It provides adequate support for her head and body without feeling restrictive. My baby seems quite comfortable in this swing. What I appreciate most about this swing is its ability to provide me with much-needed hands-free moments. Whether I need to tend to household chores or simply take a breather, knowing that the swing is soothing and safe for my baby gives me the freedom to tackle other tasks without worry. The only thing that Graco can improve, in my opinion, is offering more variety of hanging toys. Given that infant eyes are not yet developed, I would love toys with high contrast colors. If you’re looking for a swing that offers both convenience and comfort for your little one, I highly recommend giving this one a try.
