Rocker:

Swing:

Initially I liked the Rockers .. But then when I saw a few at the shops , I thought they werent as good as the baby swings .. So then I shifted focus on the swings and thought they were really interesting .. Can be used from Birth to abosut 2 years of age …

From a baby’s perspective, which one is more enjoyable?

Child safety perspective , I have already checked, both are very secure and minimal risk.

Baby Rocker or Baby Swing

Our baby liked the bouncer more, not sure if the bouncer and rocker are the same :konfused:

She didn’t really like the swing, which was a shame as I loved it.

Amazon.com: Fisher-Price Cradle n Swing, My Little Lamb: Baby

We have this and LOVE it..we still use it sometimes!

He got a rocker as a gift but we didn’t use it much… Babies are really picky with songs, rockers, bouncers… You can always try one and they may not like it at all but some prefer one over another like my son loves this swing more than anything in our house :smiley: minus the pots n pans

Re: Baby Rocker or Baby Swing

imo rockers are more practical. u can use your foot to bounce them while sitting and doing something else.
also more the fad amongst moms here. least ive seen good quality parenting with them

CB rocker gently rocks the baby in a soft (usually) side to side motion. Bouncers helps them bounce up and down, my bouncer had vibrational option and it would keep my baby calm since she was colicky she loved vibration and she would sleep only by moving up n down at first i got swing but then when i used to bounce her myself i started having pain in my arms so i bought bouncer n would place her in it n bounce her wth the help of my feet she used bouncer till 4 months thn her colic started getting better, swing was amazing it used to move in all directions, you just sdjust the position it had three types of music one soothing one for sleeping second bit entertainning n in third option you can connect it to your mobile n play whatever you want you can adjust the speed of it also. she used till 10 months then allhumdullah started sleeping herself.

i got this fisherprice bouncer

Re: Baby Rocker or Baby Swing

we had both and the kid liked his bouncer more. the bouncer moved up and down vs. the rocker which moves back and forth.
the swing we used a bit but not that much.

Re: Baby Rocker or Baby Swing

we have a swing, he likes it only for few mins and then he wants to get out of it. it really depends on your baby.

We got both…but the swing is much better imo. Unless i was constantly rocking my son in his bouncer/rocker…he would start crying. It just has a vibrating button which he hates. Plus it felt kinda flimsy. With the swing, it has different swing speed settings and i can place in front of the kitchen or wherever i am, click it on and do whatever work i have to do and he’s happy cos he’s swinging away and i can finish housework.

Re: Baby Rocker or Baby Swing

I only got swing. And like Lusi’s baby, mine also liked it for few hours each time. Past 4 months, he hated being in there. He wanted to be on the floor.. started crawling early too.

Re: Baby Rocker or Baby Swing

excellent stuff .. thanks guys .. I think I am leaning towards the swing too ..

Spiral, its one of those things right, the minute they know they can crawl, they dont want to be restrained in the chairs or bouncers :cb:

Re: Baby Rocker or Baby Swing

had the swing. but be careful, babies tend to fall aslp in bounces and swings, because it relaxes/soothes them, but dont ever let baby sleep in there. otherwise , if you have a baby whocries alot, colicky, the swing might be helpful.
