Still the swing that moves most like a parent, now sold under the UPPAbaby name, and still priced like it knows it.
Best for Parents who want the most natural-feeling motion and like the idea of adjusting it from their phone or a smart speaker.
A light, rotating swing that starts swaying on its own when your baby gets fussy, and runs on batteries when there's no socket.
Best for Most parents who want a proper electric swing that's light enough to carry between rooms and smart enough to react to fussing.
