It seems like I’m always looking for a nice, safe spot to park baby Erik when things get busy around here. He does have a big brother and sister who love to hold him, but every once in a while all of our arms are occupied!

Enter the Comfort & Harmony Swing in Sandstone Fashion.

After pulling it from the box and noticing how lightweight it was, I thought to myself that it must be a very basic infant swing. But I was very pleasantly surprised by all of the features we discovered.

• There are two positions for the seat – recline and semi-sitting. After Erik has fallen asleep, the tilt mechanism allows me to smoothly and quietly lay him back without disturbance.
• The swing has six speed settings, and can be put on a timer. The music volume is adjustable.
• There’s a little plush pillow that attaches with velcro, but it’s higher up on the seat so Erik’s head doesn’t reach it yet. I’ve put it aside for later.
• At 23 inches high and 23 inches wide, the Comfort & Harmony swing does not take up a lot of floor space.
• My 9 and 10 year old son and daughter can easily lift the whole swing and move it from place to place; sturdy non-skid feet mean it’s not going anywhere once we set it down.
• The “Sandstone Fashion” design features soft plush fabrics accented with cozy animals, and is neutral enough to compliment almost any room in your home.
• The toy bar is detachable and can be tilted up or down to align with your baby’s field of vision.

One more nifty feature I wanted to mention is the plush lion pad which flips down to cover the buckle (demonstrated below). Not only is it cute, but it deters your baby from reaching down to fool with the safety straps (which are fully adjustable from the back).

Erik weighs about 13 pounds and I noticed that to get the swing really moving, a higher speed setting is required. So it seems that more weight slows it down a bit. The lower speeds would probably only work for newborns. The swing uses four C batteries; with light use I discovered that they last a good while. But honestly, this is such a cozy and soft little spot for Erik that half the time I don’t even use the swing feature. He just loves to sit in the seat, and “talk” to the little stuffed animals and see what’s going on all around him.

At $59.99, I would say it’s worth the price you pay. It’s available online, exclusively at Target.
