Shopping For A Baby Swing
Since baby's
safety is your first priority, check all swings to be sure they have
a wide base and will not tip over if baby leans to one direction.
Next, check to see that the swing has a safety belt system. Just
like in car seats, a 5-point harness system is safest in swings. The
shoulder and hip straps reduce the chance that baby will slide out
of the swing or successfully learn to climb out while mum isn't
looking.
Some babies want to be rocked to sleep slowly, while
colicky babies may like a more forceful rocking speed. For this
reason, choose a baby swing that has several rocking speeds. Your
baby may also have strong preferences on music, so look for swings
that play music at different volumes and various musical styles, and
that have the ability to operate with no music at all. Some babies
just want peace and quiet!
Small babies will not be
able to hold their head up or avoid slouching forward in an upright
swing, so be sure your baby swing has at least two recline
positions. One of the recline positions should be a newborn recline
that allows baby to lay back far enough to avoid
slouching.
A flip-out or fold-up tray is a must-have
feature on a swing, so that a sleeping baby can be gently removed
from the swing without trouble. These trays are also much more
convenient for parents and lessen the chance of scraping baby's legs
while trying to get them in or out of the swing. An open top swing
makes it easier to lift baby out of the swing without the chance of
hitting their head on the swing's upper bar.
A baby swing can be purchased
for shops in Bahrain selling baby
furniture. | |
