Graco DuetSoothe 2 in 1 Portable Baby Swing & Baby Rocker, Multi Direction, Vibration, Winslet

Love it!!! Was so easy to assemble. Worth the extra $10 for the dual motion. Very quiet, no clicking noise. Super soft and plush. My baby naps in it so sweetly.

Large base but very sturdy and light. This is a must for any newborn. It is very soft and high quality. Rocks in 2 directions and the seat comes off for on the go around the house! Great product, highly recommend!

Before our son was born we bought one of the high tech swings that has 5 or 6 different rocking motions such as “car ride”, etc., but my son not only hated this swing, but even with the newborn insert it looked like his neck was not in a good position. So I read a ton of reviews for various regular swings such as this and settled on this one due to the overall positive reviews, detachable rocker, recline function, appearance, and relatively low price. This swing has served us very well so far. My son likes it and will occasionally nap in it. The seat reclines enough to where I am not worried about his neck. The swing has 3 positions and 5 speeds, and they have been working well so far. My son is only 12 pounds right now so I’m not sure how the motor will do when he gets a lot bigger, but so far so good. I have occasionally detached the seat and used this as a rocker. As a rocker it’s okay. You have to manually rock the baby of course, but my biggest issue with the rocker is that I would typically probably want to use the vibration, but the vibration is unusable on this product. The vibration is super loud and creates a rattling sound that is super annoying. This is not a big enough deal for me to take a star off, but if the vibration is really important to you just know you won’t like using it on this product. The mobile is fine. Even though it is white and does not move, I see my son looking up at it and smiling. The sounds and music are okay. Do not expect a super high quality sound, but they are passable. What I dislike the most is that the music and sounds turn off automatically after a period of time- I wish they stayed on until I turned them off when the swing is plugged in. Otherwise a good buy, especially for the price.

These baby swings are must have for any child, whether it's your first or your fifth. Purchased for my son and his wife for their first child. In 1989. I had a Graco battery operated swing that came in the big A-frame. It was a lifesaver and the only reason I ever got any sleep! Wonderful product and it's great that it's low to the ground now, and comes with all kinds of accessories. Excellent buy!

Great swing with neutral colors. We had a sonar swing with our first and last it down to family and it still works. These swings are pretty durable. Swing speed is just right and the music and volume is perfect, love having options between music or just white noise. The only downfall is the vibration feature, when you turn it in it has a tapping noise that you could either think of white noise or annoying sound lol

We would not have survived our first 3 months of parenthood without this swing! For his first 3 months our son took almost every nap in the swing, and even slept in it at night sometimes. Here are the pros: 1) It plugs in and runs off of batteries. Surprisingly, not many swings on the market plug in. If we had a battery-powered swing we would have burned through so many batteries. 2) It is not down on the ground. Many swings are on short frames that swing really close to the floor. I would find this problematic because you have to bend down so far to put baby in the swing and take him out. I'm 5'3" and this swing hits at about my hip or a little lower. Regardless, I don't have to bend down a ton. Also we have a pretty big dog (100 lbs lab). If the swing was close to the ground the dog could come put his face right in baby's face. With this swing, if it is not moving, the dog can look into the swing, but would have to stretch a bit to lick baby's face. At this point, the dog stays away because he has been hit by the moving swing a few times. 3) It swings in three different directions. It can swing back and forth with baby facing either side, or side-to-side with baby facing front. Sometimes our baby liked the back and forth motion, and sometimes he preferred the side-to-side. I could also change his vantage point depending on the light, how much stimulation I wanted him to have, etc. 4) The frame is very sturdy. I don't have to worry about the dog or anything else knocking the swing over or moving it. 5) The basket comes off the frame to become a rocker with the option of a vibrating seat. We didn't really use the vibrating feature very much. When I was on maternity leave, my husband would get up with the baby at 4:30 or 5 am. He would take him downstairs, feed him, play a little, and then put him back to sleep in the swing. When he left for work, he would just carry the rocker up to our bedroom and put it on the floor next to the bed with the sleeping baby. This allowed me to sleep until 7 or 8 when baby woke up again. We would also take the rocker down to our basement and put baby in it while we watched TV or were hanging out in the basement. The rocker sits pretty low to the ground so the dog can stick his face in there, but it is still very substantial and I don't have to worry about the dog tipping it over at all. The fact that it is so substantial makes it a bit heavy and awkward to carry. I didn't really like carrying it down the stairs with the baby in it, or while holding the baby. My 6' tall husband had a much easier time carrying it. I guess this is technically a con, but I would rather it be more substantial and harder to carry than cheap and flimsy. 6) It has an insert for newborns so baby's head and body isn't rolling back and forth with the swing. We took the insert out at about 2.5 months when baby could support his head pretty well and the insert seemed to create an awkward fit. Once we took the insert out, I could tell baby became much more comfortable than he had been in recent weeks. 7) Has 6 speeds. When baby was a newborn we used speeds 1 or 2, and as he got older moved up to 3 and 4. We haven't really used the 5 and 6 speeds. 8) Other features: music and white noise. These are nice to use on occasion, but I wouldn't really miss them if they weren't there. 9) Mobile: the mobile just three white bears. It doesn't turn or anything. I think a more interesting mobile would be nice. But my son seems to like the bears. Sometimes he will wake up and just stare at them or "talk" to them (it is super cute). Cons: 1) It is pretty big and takes up quite bit of space. If you live in small house or apartment with more limited space this might not work very well. 2) Akin to the size, it is not portable. You can't move the entire swing easily between rooms or easily fold it up when not in use. Again, if you are tight on space this could pose an issue. We used the swing so much that I don't think we would have ever put it away even if we could. 3) I would like a way to hang stuff from the swing. For instance, sometimes we will hang Freddy the Firefly from the swing for my son to look at or play with while in the swing. We have to use a huge Mommy hook which makes noise when it swings back and forth. 4) Some have complained about the sound the motor makes. It is very rhythmic ticking as the swing moves back and forth. I can see how this could bother some people. I think it is purposeful. The rhythmic sound is like a metronome, and I think it help lull baby to sleep.

Works very well to keep my little one asleep or calm her down when her reflux is really acting up. I always keep it at the highest setting (6) otherwise it doesn't calm/keep my little one asleep. It vibrates and require a D battery; which lasts pretty long in my opinion. We've had it for 7 weeks and we use it everyday and almost every night due to reflux issues and have only changed the battery out once. We also keep the vibration on the highest setting. Sometimes the battery can get out of place due to the flimsy cover so I recommend some duct tape, we use the paper like packing tape so we can open it easily when we need to change the battery. I don't like that the cushion part move around so much, we constantly have to readjust (although we keep it covered with a blanket for easy wash) which makes it hard every time we put our little one in it. The bears don't spin on their own they have to be winded. It would've been nice if this was electrically powered. The cradle/seat that is removable, but pretty heavy so I typically keep it attached to the swing. It does make a creaking noise like other's have mentioned. My LO doesn't mind it because it creaks very rhythmically and she stay asleep just fine. If you don't like the creaking you could probably stick some phone in the attaching areas or some rubber like tape maybe. Also it only creaks when at setting 6. If you keep it at a 5 the creaking is much less or completely gone at setting 4. My little one is now 14.04 lbs, 9 weeks old and still loves it. I would recommend to anyone with a fussy babe, or baby that suffers from colic or reflux. It also helped my little one calm down when she had gas she couldn't get out or when she had a hard time pooping.

Definitely well made, it’s sturdy, love all the functionality. Seems comfortable for our newborn. Cons at least for me is the size of the base, it takes a lot of space. The quality of the music could be better, we found ourself using our phones to play soothing music instead. I’d say if you have the space for it, it’s probably one of the best ones in the market. Just doesn’t work well for us.
