Both bouncers and baby swings imitate the rocking motion with which your baby is familiar from in the womb or when you hold them in your arms. This has a calming effect, and most babies are comforted and satisfied when sitting in a bouncer or baby swing.
The main difference between a baby swing and a baby bouncer is that the bouncer rocks naturally, while many baby swings are electric or battery-powered. Below you’ll find our list of the common features of a baby bouncer and a baby swing, as well as the specific benefits of each product.
