Bargain Baby Swings, Ideas for You!

Want bargain baby swings in your collection of baby equipment? There are lots of things you might want to consider before buying. Pretty much every major baby equipment company makes a baby swing of some kind.

Probably the best bargains you will find are to purchase a second hand swing. The usual resources apply here: garage sales, swap meets, consignment stores.

Be sure you think of Safety First when shopping this way!

Check all applicable recall lists and check every little part of the swing to be sure that there are no cracks and all parts are in good working order. The baby swing should also have a restraint, preferably a five-point harness. The best swings have a wide base to prevent tipping.

The very best bargain of all is FREE! Ask your friends and family if they have a swing that you can borrow for a short time. Baby will only be able to use the swing until he/she reaches about 25 to 30 pounds, depending on the swing.

Here are some other great tips to use when shopping for a bargain baby swings:

• A great way to save money on a new baby swing is to buy one that does double duty. A few companies make swing/high chair combo products.
• Baby swings are powered by battery or are wind-up. Battery powered do require an extra expense while wind-ups run out of juice then have to be wound up again and tend to be loud…way your options here.
• Check the options. Swing out or fold up trays are nice. If there is a music feature, be sure it can be turned off. Most swings also offer more than one speed.
• A nice feature is if the swing has a way to recline for the youngest of babies
• A seat cover that is washable is a great feature to have to ensure that any “incident” can be cleaned easily
• Choose a pattern/design that is gender neutral so you may use it again or swap with friends
