Sun Valley Canopy Portable Baby Swing for Infant
A carry handle sits right on top of this folding frame, so the whole unit moves between rooms without fuss. Ingenuity built the seat with a deep recline and fitted it with an overhead canopy to cut down on harsh overhead room lighting. It runs on standard C batteries rather than a wall plug.
Prices are what the catalogue last saw and move without warning. The number on the retailer page is the one that counts.
Reading the piece
- Shaded canopy and toys The wide canopy pulls over the frame to soften bright indoor light. Hanging from the top, a plush rainbow and a crinkling sun give an alert baby something tangible to look at and bat toward while sitting in the seat.
- Motor and timer TrueSpeed hardware adjusts the motor to maintain a steady sway as your baby grows heavier. The control dial lets you choose between multiple swing paces and set an automatic shutoff timer, with several recorded melodies available for background sound.
- Reclining seat frame The seat tilts back for small infants who still need full head support and tilts up once a baby wants to look around the room. An adjustable harness holds your baby steady in the center of the padded bucket.
- Fold and fabric care Pushing the frame together flattens the swing for closet storage or car travel. When spit up happens, the fabric seat pad unhooks from the frame and goes directly into the washing machine on laundry day.
What the maker prints
- Weight limit
- up to 20 lb
- Age the maker gives
- up to 9 months
- Power
- 4 x C batteries
Worth a second look
- Needs four C batteries. Batteries are rarely in the box, and a motor that has to be fed is the part people forget when they compare it to a bouncer that costs nothing to run.
- The limit is 20 lb, which many babies reach well before the first birthday. Buy it for the months you have, not for the year.
- Rated across three of the four stages here, which is why it costs what it costs and why it is worth checking the folded size before buying.
