Since it weighs 25 pounds, moving this swing is a two-person job. However, the bulk of the weight is in the seat, so removing it makes the job much easier. Despite this, we actually think this swing is a space saver since it has two products in one, which was the biggest selling point for us.

The Maxi-Cosi Cassia is a stylish and quality swing that my newborn adores! It was easy to put together to the point where I didn’t even have to glance at the instructions. Super lightweight which is helpful as we need to move it around the house often. The main attraction I had to this swing was the fact that it sways like a person would, which is really settling. There aren’t many swings on the market that do this and are quite bulky in comparison. It also has a reclining position which is nearly flat, which makes me feel better about my newborn napping in it!

Poppy was 8 weeks when we received this and having been using it for the last few weeks, it will be well used for the months ahead.

In addition to looking nice, this swing felt safe and sturdy when we tested it. It has a five-point harness that feels secure and the mobile is hung far enough away that a baby can’t reach it. This swing is also super quiet; without the music on, it was almost silent, and with the music on, the sound was only 40-50 dBA, which is quieter than the hum of a refrigerator. This has definitely made my life a lot easier both me and Poppy love it and highly recommend. Parent Tester – Gina Raymond While there are several safety measures parents and caregivers should follow when using a baby swing, perhaps the most important one is to supervise their baby when they are in the swing. “[While in a swing], babies need constant supervision the same way they would in a bathtub,” says Ben Hoffman, MD, CPST-I, FAAP, professor of pediatrics at Oregon Health & Science University and president-elect of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).

In our experience, assembling and using this swing was so intuitive that it required little to no reference to the manufacturer’s instructions. The buttons that operate the swing were self-explanatory, although we would have liked to see a simpler way to change the music rather than pushing a button to cycle through every song. When using the timer, we recommend reading the manufacturer’s instructions so that you understand how the lights correspond to the time intervals. Its luxurious finishing and high-quality fabrics ensure the design matches any interior, and it comes with an easy to remove and machine-washable cover. Finally, Cassia comes with two toys to give your baby something to look at, two recline positions and a soft and cozy newborn inlay to provide you and your baby with the utmost comfort. We love the Graco Soothe My Way Swing for its incredible functionality and convenience. It offers nine soothing motions in two different directions, giving you a total of 16 ways to calm and soothe your baby. This variety ensures that you can find the perfect motion pattern to help your little one relax and drift off to sleep. Parents and caregivers should also make sure their baby does not fall asleep in the swing. “If a baby falls asleep in the swing, he or she should be moved to a flat and firm sleeping surface as soon as possible,” says Lyndsey Garbi, MD, co-founder and chief medical officer of Blueberry Pediatrics and medical review board member at Verywell Family. This is because swings are positioned at an incline, which could cause a baby to position their head in such a way that they can’t breathe. With a weight of only 4 kilos, simply take Cassia to wherever in the house you might need it. Its space-saving frame make it a perfect fit, anywhere.

It has a five-point safety harness, which did a good job of containing the 15-pound sandbag we placed in the seat. It moves side to side in a pretty smooth manner and has five different speeds. However, the sound reached 79.7 dBA at the highest volume (louder than a vacuum cleaner) and 66.1 dBA at the lowest volume when we tested it.
