I can remember all too well the exhausting early months of my sons’ lives when what I desired most out of life was a few minutes where I could put them down and either a) take a nap or b) take a 5-minute shower.  I definitely have some extra hands this time around with baby girl on the way, but because I know there are moms out there who can relate to me on a deeply personal level about this, I’m here to tell you: You NEED a baby swing or rocker.  They’re a motherhood life raft when you feel adrift on a sea of spit-up and stale teething crackers, and I’ve compiled some of the Best Baby Swings and Rockers on the market to give your arms a much-needed break.

Best Baby Swings 

Fisher-Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle ‘n Swing

Best Overall: Fisher-Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle ‘n Swing

Why I Love It: I’m a big fan of the two-way swinging positions of this swing because some babies prefer one motion over the other.  It also has a removable, machine-washable seat which comes in handy during those inevitable diaper blowouts.  The swing also sits higher than others, which you will come to appreciate when putting your baby in and taking them out.   

Key Features: 

  • Item Weight: 4.41 lbs
  • Weight Capacity: 25 lbs
  • 2-way swinging motion
  • 16 swing speeds
  • 16 songs and nature sounds

Best Value: Graco Simple Sway Swing

Why I Love It: You really can’t beat the price of the Graco Simple Sway Swing.  It has a space-conserving frame, making it perfect for smaller rooms, and plays a variety of soothing sounds and songs.  The one drawback is that it only swings from side to side, making it less versatile than other options.

Key Features: 

  • Item Weight: 17.2 lbs
  • Weight Capacity: 5.5-30 lbs
  • 6 swing speeds
  • 2-speed seat vibration
  • 5-point harness keeps baby safe and secure

Best for Newborns: Munchkin Bluetooth Enabled Lightweight Baby Swing

Why I Love It: This futuristic baby swing features 5 unique side-to-side speeds that closely mimic your own swaying motions. It also comes with a host of tech features for your convenience, including Bluetooth, a touchscreen display, and remote control. 

Key Features: 

  • Item Weight: 8.6 lbs
  • Weight Capacity: 5-20 lbs
  • Folds down for easy storage
  • Seat pad and head support are reversible and machine-washable

Other Options to Consider

  • Graco Glider LX Baby Swing
  • Ingenuity Boutique Collection Swing ‘n Go Portable Swing
  • VASTFAFA Baby Swing

Best Baby Rockers 

4moms mamaRoo 4 Baby Swing

Best Overall: Fisher-Price Infant-to-Toddler Rocker

Why I Love It: This baby rocker has unbeatable satisfaction and a simple yet timeless design.  It can accommodate a growing baby through toddler size and has a vibration option to calm and soothe fussy babies. I also love its portability-you really can take it anywhere you think you’ll need it. 

Key Features: 

  • Item Weight: 6 lbs
  • Weight Capacity: 40 lbs
  • Kickstand to enable stationary seat position
  • Removable toy bar

Best Value: Fisher-Price Infant-to-Toddler Rocker

Why I Love It: This rocker has several visually appealing designs, which was what immediately caught my eye.  The soft, three-point harness adjusts easily for your baby’s comfort and security.

Key Features: 

  • Item Weight: 2.2 lbs
  • Weight Capacity: Birth-40 lbs
  • Two recline positions
  • Vibration setting
  • Machine-washable seat pad

Best for Infants: 4moms mamaRoo 4 Baby Swing

Why I Love It: Although the description of this rocker for babies contains the word “swing,” I feel it belongs solidly in the rocker category because of the type of motion that it provides.  I was very impressed with the unique movements that this rocker offers, such as “car ride” and “kangaroo.”  It truly breaks the mold of baby rocker design.  

Key Features: 

  • Item Weight: 18.36 lbs
  • Weight Capacity: 4.4 lbs-25 lbs
  • Bluetooth-enabled
  • MP3 plug-in w/built-in sounds
  • Adjustable seat recline

More Options to Consider

  • Summer 2-in-1 Bouncer & Rocker Duo
  • Fisher-Price 2-in-1 Soothe ‘n Play Glider
  • Baby Jogger City Sway Rocker

[10 MONTHS OLD] Time be still 😩😭😭 Briell [10 MONTHS OLD]

Time be still 😩😭😭
Brielle is growing so fast and I just want her to stay a baby a little longer. 

- This girl stands on her own and takes a few steps unassisted.
- Wants to eat and drink EVERYTHING.
- Thinks her brothers are hilarious.
- Says mama, dada, go, and “hey girl” 🤣 and I’m almost certain she tells her brothers to stop though the don’t listen.
- Loves taking pictures but doesn’t like when you try to sneak record her and she sees lol
- Likes to dance and clap her hands. And she recognizes songs. We Don’t Talk About Bruno and the Bluey theme song are her faves lol 

I can’t believe she turns one in two months. Time is a thief 😭😭 #itsbriellemadison #mamasgirl #girlmom #momtoaprincess #momof3

Smiling because I know I’m doing the work to help create a better tomorrow for all children! #ad by supporting @PCAAmerica.

Prevent Child Abuse America has been building better childhoods for 50 years now! The stress of parenting in normal times feels like a lot. Over the course of everything happening the last two years, the weight can almost feel unbearable. This is why I’m so glad to have the opportunity to provide resources to my community to help do the work to prevent childhood abuse and neglect before it starts. This is a cause I feel super connected to and I can’t wait to share a little more about why this partnership means so much to me. Until then, I have my blue on in honor of #wearblueday2022 and the start of Child Abuse Prevention Month! #GrowingBetterTogether
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my absolute favorite peop HAPPY BIRTHDAY to one of my absolute favorite people @theamiyrahmartin!!

Thank you for being exactly who you are and never changing.

Thank you for showing me it’s possible to make genuine connections in a sea of people only showing others what they want them to see.

Thank you for loving on me when I find it hard to love on myself!

& thank you for standing on endless lines and taking my kids all around Disney a few weeks ago for things that they’ve been asking to do for MONTHS/YEARS and then being unphased when they acted completely unimpressed 🤣🤣🤣 real auntie vibes!

We’ve had so many conversations about this milestone birthday but I know this is only the beginning of a new beautiful chapter for you! Besides, we’re the same person and I refuse to believe 40 is when I lose it 🤣🤣.

I love you sister!!! Have the most absolutely amazing day. You deserve nothing less!
