Rated 4 out of 5 by from Absolutely Stunning I received this swing as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I am in LOVE. I have a toddler and a 5 month old Velcro baby. This swing has made so many parts of my day easier! The materials are very soft and cozy for my little one and I LOVE that the insert is made from organic cotton. The vibration and swing speeds are everything my baby needs to feel comfortable when I need to put her in a safe space. My favorite feature is the cry detection. Sometimes when I’m cooking I can’t run to the swing to turn it back on, but with cry detection the swing automatically turn on to sooth my baby. This swing was incredibly easy to assemble and lt looks soooo pretty in my living room. Lastly, I love that it doesn’t take up near us much room as a traditional swing. Overall I’m obsessed with this product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Cry Detect is Incredible We recently had the opportunity to test out the Graco SmartSense Soothing Swing. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us with this swing. With that said all thoughts are my own. To begin, this swing was easy to assemble with clear instructions, important when you have a newborn. My little one enjoyed the soothing sounds and motion. The cry detect feature worked well at detecting my babies cry and 9 out of 10 times would actually calm baby back down. The swing itself is stylish and sleek with nice neutral colors. I like its small footprint that doesn’t take up a ton of space like traditional baby swings. I loved that the insert is organic fabric as that is important to me and my sensitive babies skin. My baby always looked comfortable in this swing and enjoyed looking at the toy bar to keep them entertained. If for nothing else, the cry detect is hands down my favorite feature. It allows me to cook dinner every night with baby safe and happily in sight. I would highly recommend especially if you have a baby that is other wise hard to put down.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lifesaver for my Velcro baby I received the Gracie Soothsense swing as a part of stellar reviews and am absolutely in love. I currently have a bouncer chair which is great but it involves me manually bouncing my son Lincoln and he’s never been fine in it while I walk away. This swing is a life saver. My baby never lets me put him down for naps (or anything!) and this swing immediately rocked him to sleep during those over tired days. If I’m nearby, I’ll make it super cozy with a blanket under him and am shocked and thrilled that he’s consent swinging in it and just looking around. The different motions are helpful and I’m still figuring out which he likes most. I do notice he doesn’t seem to pay much attention to the hanging toys and with there was a rotating option for those as well- similar to a mobile. The only other change I would love is if I could start, stop, or change the swing motion with my phone or a remote. Sometimes he’ll doze off and I’ll want to stop the swing so he can settle into a sleep but am worried about waking him as I come close. All in all an exceptional product that my son loves and allows me to move around the house without sobs after I put him down.

Rated 2 out of 5 by from Pretty but not super functional I received this swing from the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I was so excited!! My daughter wouldn’t let us put her down and I was hoping this would be the swing of my hands free dreams. Alas, it was not. It was super easy to put together, but was still annoying to have to put together with a newborn on hand. Once finally put together, I put my daughter in it, but she was not soothed. The cry detection feature really only vibrated the seat, and my daughter didn’t find it very comforting. I tried all the different settings but it just did some minor rocking and vibrating and music. There was no real swing rocking as I had anticipated. She did not find it soothing at all and still insisted on being held. I love the very modern aesthetic of this swing, but wish it delivered on every other front too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smooth functional baby swing We received this swing through the Steller Product Testing Panel and we are so lucky that we did! We had a different, non-versitle swing prior to receiving the Smart Sense Soothing Swing and our 6 month old barely tolerated it. The Smart Sense Soothing Swing has been wonderful! Our baby loves it! He smiles when we put him in it, and is instantly soothed, even before we turn it on. There are so many options to choose from (from vibrating, to rocking, to swinging) and a wide assortment of sounds and noises to choose from if you so wish (we liked the nature sounds best!). The cry detect sensor works perfectly, though it was rarely needed, as our baby didn't make a sound while in this swing. The look of the Smart Sense Soothing Swing is very modern and features organic fabric. The neutral colors fit into any color scheme and the size isn't massive, so it fit in perfectly in our smaller living room where we used it the most. The infant insert is a great feature, and is still needed for our small 6 month old. Our little boy will fit in this swing for months to come, especially because we can take the insert out when he gets a little bigger. The little toys that come with the swing are a cute feature, but our little boy will likely get more use out of them in his hands, than on the extendable arm that overhangs the swing, but this is only because he is teething and likes things in his mouth. Once we found his favorite setting, all we have to do is set him up in the swing, and we are able to get so many things done while he rocks to his pure enjoyment. The only slightly negative thing we have to say about the Smart Sense Soothing Swing is that it is a little loud when in motion. However, if you put the sound on or have something else on in the background, you can barely hear it. Overall, I would give this swing more than 5 stars if it were an option. We absolutely love it, but more importantly our infant loves it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from SO Innovative I am SO grateful to have receive this swing from the Stellar Product Testing panel and I'm not just saying that. As of late my baby has been teething horribly and the only thing that really soothes her is being rocked back and forth consistently. She's a chunky baby so my arms are dead after a few minutes. The second we put her in this it immediately responded to her cries/whines and put her at ease. The chair is also shaped in a way where baby feels like they are being snuggled so I think that plays a huge role in making them comfortable. This product also gets extra points for not being too bulky! For all that it does, it fit well in our small living room and the light colors matched our homes aesthetic. It's cute and actually does what it says it will!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Modern and Comfortable I received this product from the Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. Upon receiving, I really enjoyed the modern style of the swing and the organic cotton newborn insert. My two month old son seemed very comfortable. It did come with two cute toys but I am not sure my son was able to see them just yet. If they were more contrasting colors that may have helped keep his attention. This swing also has SmartSense which detected when my son was crying and it would switch up the modes and settings to keep him calm. It worked some of the time, but I think the crying sensor should be more sensitive. By the time the swing would detect crying, my son was usually past the point of being soothed unless picked up. I wish it would have been able to detect his softer cries in the beginning. The Graco Smartsense Soothing Swing takes up less space than a standard baby swing and I really did not mind having it in our living room. It made it convenient to have my son in the swing while I was taking care of my older children (ages 5, 4, and 2). My baby is in the stage of wanting to be held constantly so I was grateful to have received this swing to give me a little extra time to get some chores done around the house. Overall, I think the swing is a great concept and with a change of the sensitivity of the SmartSense function would make it a really great option!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Simple and sleek baby swing This swing was fairly easy to assemble, and the neutral colors make it a great safe place to set down your baby as a fixture in any room of your home without taking too much away from the current decor. The cushions are soft, and the straps are easy to adjust. The built in toy is great, and a feature my daughter loves. The soothing sounds are a huge convenience to have built right in, and we trialed a few, all of which the baby likes. Our daughter just turned 6 months old so she enjoyed the swing for a while, but was eager to get back to sitting upright and working on transfers to and from her tummy. She was very content and happy in this swing for periods of time and I wish I had it when she was a newborn so I could speak more to having it for a newborn or tiny infant, but she still very much enjoyed the seat. We are grateful to have the opportunity to try this swing as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from We enjoy the cry detection tool Thank you to Stellar testing panel for giving me this swing in exchange for my honest review .We've been using this swing for 10-15 minutes at a time if I need to prepare meals or do washing. He's glad he'll be in this swing for a shorter period. I enjoy the cry detection tool and the soothing sounds/motions. While my kid is crying, this setting alternates between various movements till the baby is happy again. It brought comfort to my baby.Some babies prefer side-to-side movements rather than backward and forward. Be aware that the motions in this swing do not include a side-to-side option.appreciate how little and space-efficient this swing is. It's surprisingly lightweight and portable throughout the house. The simple design is another feature I enjoy. Two toys are located on a toy bar. My infant hasn't given them any attention yet. However, he appears to be very comfortable.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good idea ok execution I received this swing through the stellar product testing panel, and I was excited to see it in action. Unboxing it, the swing was easy to assemble, had a nice look to it, and had a smaller footprint than what I’m used to with another swing I currently own. I was a little disappointed with the mobile/toys hanging above the swing - seeing that the swing has technological upgrades, I expected more from the mobile - it just looks and feels a bit cheap, like a last second add on. My little one seemed comfortable when I put him in the swing, and I liked that it had 3 different recline settings. I like that it has numerous types of swing settings, vibration, and music/sounds; however, the swing took a few second to turn on once the power button is pushed, and the cry detect feature was hit or miss. There tends to be a lot going on in my house with a lot of noise, which seemed to affect the ability to detect crying. When it was quiet enough, the swing took too long to detect crying, and my little one was so worked up by that point that the swing didn’t help. It also stopped swinging completely when he was quiet, which resulted in crying. Overall, I didn’t love the cry detection feature and preferred the manual settings.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lots of Great Features We received our swing as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and were excited to see how it compared to other options. For starters, it only took me 15-20 minutes to put together, even with a very curious toddler trying to 'help' - so very easy to assemble! The look and design are very pretty and with clean lines and simple colors. The infant insert is white, which is a little precarious for my little guy who loves a good blowout in a swing. He's also on the larger size and I didn't feel like the infant insert gave all that much more support, so I'm not sure how well it would work out for smaller babies. The shape of the swing itself is very deep comparatively, so it took some adjusting for us to find the most comfortable positioning for him. But we loved the ability to make the swing more upright or reclined based on our needs. The cry detect feature was top notch! More often than not it kept our guy comfortable and less fussy for the time we needed him to be in the swing. The sounds were simple enough that I also wasn’t bothered by them either. Overall, we’ve really enjoyed the addition of the swing and like the option of a safe and comfortable place to put the baby down when needed.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from My 6 MO LOVES This I received this product through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and MY BABY LOVES IT, making me love it as well!!! I have a very active 6 M.O. that is always wanting to move around and explore, so I wasn't sure how well this swing would fit into our lives, especially since our little one was no longer tolerating our other swing. Surprisingly AND THANKFULLY, he loves this swing!!! First, he is about 27 inches and 18 pounds, so I wasn't sure how well he would fit into another motorized swing, since he was almost maxed out of our other one. The great thing about this swing is that its swing/seat is bigger and deeper, which holds our baby very comfortably. It also has a higher weight max which is sooooo nice!!! You don't see that a lot I these types of swings, which is a real bummer. Second, I was nervous that my baby was kind of "done" with these types of swings, since they can be "confining" for a baby that wants to be constantly moving, but the variety of movements ... plus the vibration feature ... plus the white noise sound are so soothing and comforting to him. For a baby that sleeps well at night but does not nap well at all, this swing has been a lifesaver for helping our baby wind down for naps. It's also been nice for entertaining our baby for short periods of time. The hanging toys are just out of reach for our baby's arms and are a nice feature. Not sure if younger babies would be able to see the toys though, as they are very muted in color. Just something to think about. Third, I love the aesthetic of this swing. The white could be risky for babies, but I personally have found that light colors hide spit up really well ... making this the perfect color for me and my GERD prone baby. Now, blowouts on the other hand ... just hoping I don't have one in here. Lastly, I gave this 4 our of 5 stars because I love the all of the features, such a side variety, and the aesthetic, but the motor is a little loud, the baby soothing feature could be a little more customizable, and most annoyingly ... the setup could be wayyyyy easier. That ... or the directions could be much more clear. If you're putting this together, just really make sure that things are fasting appropriate directions. Otherwise, you may be rebuilding this over and over again like my BF was, which led to a very frustrated Dad. LOL!!! All in all, I really wish I had this swing from the beginning. I think our baby would have really enjoyed it as a newborn up till now. It has everything you would need. Now that I think about it though, it might need more inserts to accommodate a newborn, as sit is pretty big and deep, but regardless ... this is something that will save you headaches and time (besides putting it together time :) ).

Rated 5 out of 5 by from One GREAT Mom Hack I received the Smart Sense Soothing Swing as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and it has changed my life for the better! Unlike many swings we've used in the past, my favorite part of this swing is that it offers three different incline positions reducing the reflux messes my baby makes post-feeds. In the case of a spit up mess, another excellent feature is the wipeable material used in the swing. My baby absolutely loves the different movement settings and the way the swing can detect her needs and respond accordingly. The design is sleek and aesthetically pleasing in my living room. I have already recommended this product to friends and will continue to do so in the future because it is simply that awesome!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Luxury swing This swing is truly a luxury baby product! It is sleek and beautiful, not something that will totally kill the aesthetic in your space. It’s not too huge either, making it a great option even for smaller apartments or homes. The construction is super solid - baby is safe and comfortable in the swing. There’s soooo many options - 4 swing settings, vibration, cry detection, sounds - that you can really personalize it to baby’s preferences and moods. We were getting huge smiles from baby the second we put him in the swing. It definitely helps soothe him, and the cry detection feature makes all the difference. He calmed down right away! Overall this is not only a beautiful piece of baby gear, but an incredibly helpful and practical one as well!! I’m declaring it a must-have! Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing us to try out this awesome swing!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great Swing with Convenient Features The SmartSense Soothing Swing was very easy to set up and only took about 20 minutes for one person. The swing itself is modern looking and compact, the material on the seat is nice and soft, and although we haven’t had to yet, it seems like it would be easy to clean. My baby seems to enjoy it! It’s helping me be able to put him down and get things done around the house. The cry detection feature works well and the swing will cycle through the different settings in an attempt to soothe the baby. One downside I noticed about the cry detection feature is it will oftentimes switch settings once baby has settled, which can result in him getting fussy again. My favorite part about the swing is that there are a lot of settings to choose from, which allows us to find the perfect combination to keep him content. He started using it at 2 weeks old, and he fits in it comfortably with the infant insert. Hoping he continues to love it, and that it keeps working for us! Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Love it Gifted by stellar product testing panel for my honest review. Pretty straight forward to use. Directions are easy to follow to put the swing together. I really like that the cover and cushion is machine washable for easy clean up. Really love that it has 3 different recline positions. It really made a difference in baby’s comfort level and how quick he got to that content state. This swing really has a lot of different features and options between different swing motions, vibration levels and music options. The “cry detect” feature is really interesting. It detects your baby crying about 30 seconds after the crying starts and begins going through different modes of swing and songs until the baby stops crying and settles on the combination that was playing when the baby stops crying. I was pretty impressed that within a minute my baby had stopped crying and was content after putting him in the swing. The swing is a lot more compact then other swings available and looks really nice rather then a bulky eye sore. I like that the mobile can be moved to either side. It’s a little basic but still looks nice and functions as intended. I would say that the touch screen is nice but is on the base of the swing and almost to the floor. I would have loved an optional remote so I wouldn’t have to bend over so far to toggle the different features. Also, even with the insert it’s a little too big for a 6lb baby. Overall I love this swing. It’s looks nice, has so many different features, and is not only convenient for me but baby is loving it too! Really an upgrade from a basic swing!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smart Swing Coparent This smart swing has finally allowed me to do something I haven't been able to since my baby was born- cook dinner without wearing or holding him. The swing is highly customizable with various motions, vibrations, music/sounds, and recline positions. We found a combination that my baby absolutely loves. When he gets fussy, the cry detection feature responds and gently soothes him back to happiness. As a fixed piece in our home, I appreciate the neutral colorway and sleek design. The organic cotton infant insert provides extra support and keeps him comfortable, while the toys keep him entertained—he especially loves reaching for the ring. Though a bit bulky, the swing is lightweight and moderately easy to move around the house. Assembly took about 20 minutes. My favorite feature is the cry detection because it keeps my baby content, allowing me to complete tasks without constant interruptions. Thanks to this feature, I can now make it through dinner without having to pick him up. We lovingly refer to the swing as our "coparent." Thanks to the Stellar Testing Panel for providing me with this swing to test and review.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Top Notch Baby Swing I am so grateful that I received this swing from the Stellar Review Testing Panel, as it has become the most used baby item in our house! I truly couldn't be happier with this swing. The design is well-thought out. The swing is mostly white and gray, and thus fits in with the decor of any room in the house. The base is compact under the swing, without any legs extending out from it to take up extra space or provide a tripping hazard. The seat insert is made of organic cotton and feels so soft and cozy to the touch. The pads on the shoulder harness are just as soft. My 3-month old absolutely loves this swing and appears very comfortable in it. The harness is easily adjustable to ensure a secure fit. The toys on the toy bar are cute and engaging to Baby. The convenience of the swing is unmatched. There are seemingly endless possibilities of modes and sounds, with swing, rock, cradle, and glide motions, as well as several tracks each of white noise and calming music. The cry detection feature is simply amazing. To be honest, it took several times of using the swing to get to try this feature out, due to my baby loving this swing so much. It detects even the slightest of cries and whimpers and begins changing movements and sounds, like a parent would when holding their baby, until baby is calmed. I was impressed at the swing's ability to calm my baby through the cry detection feature. Another of my favorite features this swing has is the seat vibration, as both of my boys have calmed through vibration. I have certainly gained hands-free time to complete household tasks and meet the needs of my other toddler since receiving this swing. It will hands-down be at the top of my list to recommend to other parents!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect swing for my infant This swing is a life saver!! My baby cries anytime I put him down and this has made my life so difficult. Finally, a swing that he loves!!! I cannot believe how much hand-free time I now have. Here are some of the things I really appreciate about it. Firstly, this swing is beautiful. It looks so nice in my family room and fits in with my modern decor. Secondly, it is super comfortable for my baby. He is safe and cozy in it. Lastly and most importantly, he is calm and loves the swing’s movement. It is gentle and soothing. The cry detect feature is so cool! All in all, I am so happy with this SmartSense soothing swing. My son loves it. He is comfortable and enjoys the swinging motion. I love the aesthetics of it. Thank you to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing. It has given me a new lease on life with all the hands-free time I can now enjoy!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smart Swing Perfection Thank you to the Stellar Panel for sending me this swing! For a third baby, we definitely need a spot to set her down while I take care of the other 2 kiddos, and this swing is perfect for that. The cry detector feature is a great addition- it definitely worked to calm her down with varied noises and would switch up swing directions and speeds to calm her down. The one negative to the cry detect- is if there are other siblings yelling/crying, it set it off a few times into a much quicker pace when she was totally chill and hanging out which was a little startling for her. The design is compact, modern, and perfect to add to a space with no loud colors or designs. The swing seems reclined back compared to others we have tried, but our girl was comfortable in it throughout. The shoulder pads are an excellent comfort feature too. We have a three week old, and today for the first time she started paying attention to the toys on the bar! They are a nice additional feature. My only negatives to the swing- it takes a while to turn on (it does an intro with the cry detect feature on the screen- which with a crying baby is not ideal when you just want the swing to start swinging!) and when on the straight back and forth swing, the swing kind of hits the front and makes a noise which is annoying. That is only on the highest speed though. It was also a pain for set up, but the infant insert and seat cloth itself are easily removed for cleaning which is great when the baby is little and messes happen often! Overall- I am super happy with this swing, it has great features, is compact, and is a perfect addition to our living room to give us some hands free time when balancing three kids.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Game changer Thank you to Stellar for the perfect baby swing. Our little one loves this swing! I really like that it can go in multiple directions. It can go forward and back as well as side to side. You can also adjust the swing so the chair is laying down or more seated. The cry sensor is a game changer and works great! It was interesting to see how the swing cycled through all the different motions, sounds, and vibration settings until my daughter stopped crying. The only thing I noticed is that when my toddler was crying or being loud in the same room, it would start trying to soothe my baby, but she was already comfortable in the swing. I understand that it can’t tell the difference between crying, I was just shocked by how far away my toddler was and it still heard the crying and tried to soothe until the crying stopped! The swing seems to be very comfortable for my 3 week old with the infant inserts. She will watch the toys that are attached, occasionally, but mostly she will look around the room. I think the toys will be better for when my daughter can see farther away and has more arm/hand control. The swing was easy to build and I like the colors of the swing. Since it is light, neutral colors it can go with any color palette and look nice in any room. The design looks nice and what I expected for a baby swing. It has a more modern look to it than other swings, which I like a lot. Thanks to this swing, I’ve gotten more hands-free time and time to play with my toddler as we transition into a family of 4. Overall, this swing works great and I will recommend it to anyone looking for a baby swing!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Smart sense smoothing swing As shown in the pic, the set up was easy to follow and took about 15 minutes to get it done. The design is sleek and modern looking. The grey and white color combination also goes well with everything. We tried it out multiple times with our 5 week old and he likes it so far. Infant insert was good help with his size and the belts gave a snug feeling. The swing helped comfort him when the cry was detected for a couple minutes, but then our baby was just hungry so had to take him out. Another time I was able to clean the whole bedroom while keeping an eye on him and knowing he’s safe. I would suggest that the toys be more interesting or have multiple options of changing such as having black/white contrast cards hanging during newborn phase, colorful after, adult faces to look at, etc. I also wish the toy hanging would rotate to give the baby some visual simulation. Overall, it’s a great, safe swing and I would recommend it to others as it gives you hands-free time with hundreds of things you need to do. I hope your baby also enjoys it as much as ours does! Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Highly recommend I received the SmartSense Soothing Swing as part of a Stellar Product Testing Panel and I'm obsessed. My son just turned 5 months old and I wish we had this swing from day 1. It has been such an amazing addition and my son loves it. The multiple different sound settings, especially the music and heartbeat options, help him stay super relaxed and calm. There are multiple different swing motion settings as well, all of which he seems to enjoy. I'm actually able to enjoy and finish a cup of coffee in the mornings now! The cry detect feature is amazing too. While it doesn't sooth my baby for long if he's super worked up, the constant changing of swing motions and different sounds definitely helps calm him down for a few minutes each time until I can come and see to his needs. The three point safety harness makes getting him in and out a breeze. No more getting arms caught in straps. The look and design of the swing is also super chic and fits in nicely to a corner of our living room. If my 5 .month old still fits in with plenty of room and loves to hangout, I feel like it has a ton of longevity, which is not always the case with baby products, making it even more worth it in my book. Overall, I would definitely recommend getting this swing!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Smart swing for a Smart Baby I received this swing as being part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from this swing, but I am pleasantly surprised. The cry detection feature was probably what I was most skeptical about, but it actually works. I have a newborn and it literally activates every time she starts to cry. It uses the last setting that was used and begins to rock her. If I had any criticism at all, I would say that the rocking motion is a bit soft so when she’s really mad, it doesn’t do much good with soothing her. However, if she’s napping or just waking up, it does a great job rocking her back to sleep or calming her for a moment while I prepare her bottle. So grateful to have this and I truly wish I had something similar when my 2 year old was a baby. I think the advanced technology is a win overall, but this swing is definitely something that will come in handy with a new baby and when you’re sleep deprived.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Feels like a luxury upgrade I am reviewing this for the Stellar Product Testing Panel. I switched to using this from a very old version of a baby rocker with no bells or whistles, so this really feels like a luxury upgrade! The fabric has a smooth neoprene feel and unsnaps SO easily for washing. And the infant insert is organic cotton and super soft. Love that the details feel so high quality on this. The toy bar is pretty basic, but I actually prefer that because it is less likely to overstimulate my little one. I got mine in a creamy stone color, so no garish colors to clash with my decor. Overall this is well designed and super useful for soothing baby when you need an extra set of hands. The biggest selling point for me is how many different modes and features it has! Of the motion settings I like the rocking and the gliding the best. The other two are a little bit too choppy for my baby, but some babies might like that better. It’s nice to have options! I like that it has a sound machine built in and there are so many sounds to cycle through. I also love that there are two vibration settings. My little one doesn’t like it if it’s too strong and prefers the lower setting. This is the first product I’ve ever used with built-in cry detection, and I have mixed feelings about it. It’s a cool feature, and it definitely responds to baby’s movements, but I felt sometimes like it was *too* sensitive and cycled through different movements and sounds too fast/frequently. But there were also times I felt like the changing movements kept the baby entertained and interested. So, like I said—mixed feelings on that. Ultimately this is a game-changer item for me. I have two other little ones and there is often not enough of me to go around, and this has been the perfect solution for when baby needs extra movement and soothing while mommy is busy with the other two.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Functional and aesthetically pleasing The Graco SmartSense Soothing Swing is not only functional, but aesthetically pleasing. It’s clean, chic design fits perfectly with our style. The soft, organic fabrics and neutral colors look good in any area of our house. We love that the swing has endless combinations of vibrations, motions, speeds, sounds and positions. The three position recline is something we have never seen before on a swing. It has been one of the best features. It allows us to adjust the angle of our son as he sits and/or sleeps. The infant body support and five-point harness is also a nice feature. It keeps our son secure and comfortable and gives us peace of mind. One of the last features we love is the cry detect feature and how it detects and responds to our son’s cry in seconds. It truly does the job. We were skeptical at first, but were pleasantly surprised to see just how fast it works. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing us with this swing. It has been an amazing addition to our home and has given us peace of mind, as we do our daily tasks.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great swing for soothing fussy baby Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for allowing me to review this Graco SmartSense Soothing Swing. My little one is now just over 2 weeks old and we started using his swing when she was just a few days old. There are SO many different options for motion, vibration, and sound settings. The buttons are easy to use and the screen is clear and easy to see. The cry detecting feature works well and detected my baby fussing pretty accurately and quickly changed through a variety of settings to try to see what would soothe baby without me needing to change any settings. I love that if I am busy doing something like cooking, interacting with my 3 other children, folding laundry, etc. I can give the swing a moment to see if it will settle my baby before I determine if she needs me right away or if I can quickly finish my task. My only complaint about the cry detection is that it picked up the noise of our hand vacuum I was using to sweep up a few of my toddlers lunch crumbs and it started trying to soothe my perfectly calm baby because it picked up the vacuum noise as her fussing. I've not noticed any issues with other typical household noises, so not a huge deal, but something to consider. I love the aesthetic of this swing and the toys! It is very neutral and would match any household decor. I also really appreciate the use of organic cotton for the newborn insert, as we try to use organic or at least more natural materials on our babies whenever possible. The newborn insert did seem rather large in the upper area and my babies head would slump to one side or the other at times and I would have to adjust her a little bit. For reference, my baby was 10 lbs at birth, so I feel like tiny babies may need a bit more head support than what this provides. That being said, I feel like the swing will have plenty of room for baby to grow until she meets the size limits of it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great swing with limited motion The cry detect feature and soothing sounds/motions were a first for us as second time parents. I will say that it soothed our baby thus far which was a win but it took a louder cry for it to activate. I have a love for the fact that it doesn’t just react immediately because I won’t be able to have that same reaction timing. It helped comfort my little one in reasonable timing but this might not be what buyers I expecting. As a first time mom I never wanted my baby to cry for more than a second. But this boy being my first rodeo, I’m ok with a little reactionary time. I love the look and design of this swing. We had the MUST HAVE swing for our first and it was bulking and an eyesore. The help provided outweighed the convenience of this swing. It’s not small and unnoticeable but it was lightweight and helpful. The infant insert and toys are sweet and gender neutral but I would rather have black and white toys. I think it would help with the baby’s eye development. Our kiddo was very comfortable. I enjoyed that this swing comforted our little one while I wrangled our toddler throughout the day. It gives you enough time to catch up on things without feeling like the baby cannot be comforted when they are uncomfortable. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Pretty neat Thanks to Stellar product testing panel,I was able to try this smart sense soothing swing by Graco! To start, I am a mother of 5 kids and I have had my share of different types of swings. This is by far the most high tech swing I’ve owned. I was excited about this product because I need to be hands free at certain times, so it’s nice to have a safe and effective device that my infant enjoys. Initially when I placed my infant in the swing, she was crying so I thought I’d try the “cry detection” mode. Unfortunately my baby was not a fan and was not soothed by this feature. I have placed her in the swing while she’s content and she seemed to really enjoy it and stayed in the swing for a longer amount of time happy and content. I was impressed with the multiple features such as the different “swing motion modes” and the different sounds its plays. The appearance is also appealing with the organic material infant insert and the overall display. Overall, I like the swing. I rated the swing 4 stars due to the cry detection mode not being as successful as I’d hoped. I think I need more time to continue to test the cry detection mode with my infant. The few times I’ve tried it wasn’t very successful, but again my infant does stay content while in it which is wonderful!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable and great entertainment We received this swing to use thanks to the Stellar product testing panel. As a mom to 7 kids I have used a lot of different baby devices and this swing tops them all! Assembly was a breeze, the directions were clear and easy to follow and we had the swing set up super quick. The swing itself is very comfortable for baby with the soft infant insert and multiple recline positions. The toys seem to be quite engaging, my baby is almost 5 months old and he loves watching them move as the swing is swinging. There are 4 different choices for how the swing moves which is great as when baby starts to get bored of a particular movement you can choose another option. Aside from the motions you can adjust the speeds, there is vibration, and also many choices for sounds, music, and white noise. The best feature is the cry detection! If you have cry detection on and baby starts fussing the swing will begin trying different combinations of swinging, vibrating, and sounds and will continue changing in an attempt to soothe baby. This swing really covers so many options to help keep baby entertained while also blending right in with any design in your home. If your looking for a baby item that offers great safe entertainment options then this swing is what you need!
