How it works
Being a parent is an amazing experience filled with joyful loving memories and newborns are so cute you just want to spend every second with your little rascal. Babies adore attention and demand nurturing activities however it can get really hard to joggle house chores and everyday tasks while entertaining your toddler.
You have to prepare breakfast, lunch, dinner, wash the dishes, do the laundry, take out the trash, feed the dogs… the list seems endless. And it’s really frustrating that almost every time you decide to commit to finishing a chore, your baby starts whining for comfort and amusement.
The Graco Duetsoothe Swing Rocker Winslet is truly a life-saver when it comes to products that will literally hold and entertain your baby for you. It is almost as if you have an electronic nanny playing and rocking your child until it falls asleep.
It functions as two products in one, since it is both a swing and a removable seat. This is very convenient because you can have the flexibility of moving around the house while keeping the baby close by. The overall design of the rocker offers many other possibilities for infant amusement which would ultimately give your child an enchanting playful time and will make sure your absence goes unnoticed while you are working around the house.
Design
Designed as a removable baby seat and placed on a very well put together electronic swing, this product is truly captivating, especially for infants. It is made of high-quality durable materials in soothing pastel colors that will easily adapt to your home’s interior design and has many versatile electronic components that bring this swing to life. The metal frame that holds the rocker in place is in classic mat grey color while the seat is light beige with a tasteful light pattern. There are 3 adorable rotating teddy bears on top to entertain your baby while it is peacefully swaying in the chair.
The electronic component allows parents to adapt to the most convenient speed and sound options for their baby. There are many versatile adventures which include melodies, nature sounds, vibrations and different sitting positions. The seat also has a grey seat-belt that will prevent your child from falling or sliding down the moving chair. It is intelligently well put together to entertain and comfort your infant so you can rest assure he/she is safe and calm while you are moving around the house.
The size of the swing might seem too big however its overall design is intelligently made to look airy and it will not disrupt the open floor plan you might have in your apartment. Its tasteful design won’t seem tacky and will most definitely blend with the surrounding objects.
Calming
There are 10 classical melodies so babies can discover mind-bending music without feeling disturbed or frightened by the noise. Studies claim that children who grow up listening to classical music are most likely to develop artistic tendencies and spatial intelligence. The many psychological benefits of this musical genre have been recognized as grown breaking for early development and it’s no wonder that even doctors recommend playing this music while the baby is still in the belly.
The rocker also provides two vibrating motions which would help your child relax and feel comforted while peacefully sitting in its chair. Some parents find the vibrations too noisy however many infants seem to enjoy sitting in a baby massage chair. It is truly a comforting adventure for the most sensitive members of the family which will result in forming an emotional bond with their new swinging throne.
Entertainment Value
It is important that the playful experience is gentle and soothing so they don’t feel intimidated by the movement of the chair or the loud background music. That is why Graco Duetsoothe Swing Rocker Winslet is equipped with 6 swing speeds, 10 classical melodies and 5 nature sounds, a mobile with 3 adorable teddy bears hanging on top of the rocker. There is an electronic plug in charger as well as the possibility to use batteries when you are on the move.
The three seating positions allow the infant to sway side-to-side or swing back to forth in two different directions. There are two soothing vibration modes that make sure the baby gets a little wiggle and experience a mild massage while enjoying the resting time. Once the nap is over, just take the chair out from the swing and feel free to move around without constantly looking for a convenient and safe place to put your delicate little rascal.
Ease of Use
There is a button on top with a musical note engraved on it that plays the melodies as well as a mute button right under it. Bellow you will find a button with a little birdie on it for the nature sounds. In the middle there is a knob that controls the speed of the swinging going from 0 to 6 so you can manage to find the perfect rocking mood for your little one. Right next to it there is also a volume up and volume down button which is perfect since you don’t want to disturb the baby with a loud noise while its resting yet sometimes you want to provide a louder entertaining environment when its enthusiastically rocking in the chair.
Versatility
The speed knob allows gentler and faster swinging motions since babies want to be constantly surprised as well as being swayed on the left and right or back and forth. As the name also says it, this product comes as a duet of a swing and a seat you can take with you and feed the baby in it or take it outside. It is definitely a mobile device that allows you to pick up your infant by using the handle and move it from one room to another while being placed secure in a comfortable chair.
Maintenance
It is recommended that you use the Graco replacement parts since they would fit perfectly with the original design. The seat cover comes with cleaning instructions on its care tag and it is advised that you clean it without using any type of bleach to avoid discoloring the material. The cloth seat pad can be washed in a washing machine however make sure you put it on the delicate cycle, have it cleaned with cold water and line dry as a finishing touch. The metal frame can be cleaned with regular soap and lukewarm water as well as the life-saving baby wipes without making any contact with bleaching detergents. Avoid exposing the swing on direct sunlight as it might cause the parts to fade or warp due to overheating. This way, even if your baby outgrows the chair, it will still be good as new for the next and future addition to your family.
