Comparison 4moms MamaRoo vs Graco Sweetpeace

The maximum weight of a child that the swing can support without negative consequences in any position and in any mode of operation. A heavier child should not be placed: even if it does not break immediately, there is no guarantee that this will not happen at some point later, with unpleasant consequences for the child.

The number of different speeds at which the automatic rocking system (see above) can rock the swing. The more speeds, the more accurately you can choose the most pleasant option for your baby.

The number of fixed positions in which the adjustable backrest of the swing can be installed (refer to "Backrest tilt adjustment"). Any adjustable backrest has at least two positions — lying and sitting, and the more levels of tilt — the more options you have for customizing the swing to maximize your baby's comfort.

The ability to adjust the tilt of the seat of the baby swing (in this case, the lower part of the seat unit is meant). In bouncers, the seat is adjusted together with the back, in swings — separately (for more details, refer to "Type").

Possibility swivel the seat unit around the vertical axis. This design can be used to turn the swing with the child in the desired direction (for example, to the window, where something interesting is happening, and then back to the sofa, where mom is sitting) without moving the base, it is much easier than swiveling the whole swing. This feature can also be useful in tight spaces: the base can be placed as conveniently as possible, and the seat unit can be swiveled in the desired direction. The seat can also be swiveled to change the direction of rocking.

The presence in the delivery set of a special pad placed on the seat. It can be a headrest mounted on the back, an insert on the seat, or a two-in-one. Its main purpose is to provide maximum comfort for the baby, especially in the first months of life. In addition, the pads can be made removable, which makes it easier to clean the swing.

— Timer. A timer that switches off the automatic rocking mechanism (refer to "Automatic rocking") after a certain time. Thus, knowing the approximate time your baby falls asleep, you can set the timer and not worry about the rocker continuing to rock unnecessarily while your baby sleeps.

— Removable table. The presence of a removable table top in the design of the swing. Such a swing can play the role of a high chair; in addition, the table top can be useful for games.

— Player connection. A function similar to a music box (see above) — with the difference that the sound source is not the memory of the box itself, but a player connected to the swing.

— Vibration unit. The mechanism that provides the vibration of the seat unit — this plays the role of a massage for the child, and also creates a relaxing effect.

— Arc with toys. A structure in the form of an arc or bracket above a swing, on which various toys are suspended. They can be used to play or to distract the baby (for example, to stop crying). The arcs are often made removable, and the brackets are also swivel.

— Lighting effects. Multi-coloured flashing lights that can cheer up or distract the baby (especially in combination with sound).

— Mains. Power supply from the ordinary 230 V mains supply. Such power supply is as reliable as possible: there are no batteries that can die at the most unfortunate moment. On the other hand, the use of additional functions of such a rocker is limited by the availability of the network (in nature, for example, they will be useless) and the length of the power cord.

— Batteries. Powered by replaceable elements. This gives maximum freedom of movement: the rocker does not depend on the power supply and the length of the cord, its additional functions can be used anywhere and anytime. On the other hand, batteries have a limited charge and need to be replaced from time to time, and ideally you should have a constant supply of new ones, as some functions consume their charge very quickly.

— Mains/batteries. Combined power supply, which provides the advantages of both previous types: as long as there is a mains power supply nearby, the rocker is connected to it, saving battery power, and when there is no mains power supply or the outlet is too far away, batteries are used.
