Best Baby Swings to Sleep Outdoor & Indoor 2021

We tried and tested the best swings for babies to sleep outdoor and indoor to reveal which one put our test babies to sleep the fastest. The winner is the 4moms 2015 mamaRoo, read our reviews to find out why.

From our tests, we discovered that the swings that vibrate as well as swing are the best for getting babies over to sleep.

We also discovered in our tests that playing gentle nature sounds or white noise (womb sounds) get the babies over to sleep quickly.

We even had a baby crying loudly suffering from colic used in the tests, that baby settled quickly in our top machine, in fact, stopped crying in less than 2 minutes after the swing got up to speed and they heard the music playing.

We have reviewed all the best baby swings so follow the link to see our in-depth guide.

We also found that the seating position is important as well as the swing speed. Our test babies loved a faster swing and a seating position more upright than reclined.

#1 4moms 2015 mamaRoo Infant Seat with Bluetooth

First of all, how soft is the seating area on this swing? Compared to other swings this one is heavily padded, much more comfortable than others.

It does not have head support so not ideal for newborn babies, it can be used from 5.5 pounds in weight right up to babies weighing 25 pounds.

What makes this the best to get the baby to sleep? The swing has 5 different movement options, others just have 1 or 2.

What do most parents do when babies can’t sleep? They take their little one for a ride in the car. Not anymore, this swing has a car ride motion option.

We gave this motion option a test, my god this worked fast. Our little one was asleep within ten minutes of putting them in the unit.

The swing can be operated by Bluetooth using your phone or tablet device. No other swings have this option, it’s certainly modern in style and operation.

The swing is operated by the plugin so it’s not going to be expensive to run using batteries all the time.

The swing mimics real-life instances that really do work at soothing babies over to sleep. It even has an option to mimic being rocked in the parents’ arms, this is very comforting to babies.

One other big reason it helps babies get to sleep easier than other is the operating volume, it’s not very loud when running, making it easy for baby to sleep.

#2 Fisher-Price Sweet Snugapuppy Dreams Cradle’n Swing

This one also got our baby to sleep quickly, the reason for this is it has two different swing directions.

Most swings can only move back and forth or side to side, this one can operate in both, it’s good to make sure your baby will like one motion over another.

The swing has 2 recline positions and the seating area is very well padded so is very comfortable for the baby to sleep in.

The swing features 16 inbuilt sounds that block out the operating sounds of the swing to help the baby settle.

The 6 swing speeds are important to have, our test babies loved the fastest speed and really did get the babies sleeping quickly.

This is the most popular baby swing on the market right now, this is down to the price and the fact that it is easy to use.

It’s also popular because it can fold down and when up does not take up a lot of room. The legs push in easily for storage.
