Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Imagine being able to turn your car seat into an instant swing. This unique idea of taking a compact swing frame and attaching your Graco Car Seat was inspired by veteran moms. We kept hearing stories of babies who sleep contently when riding in the car, but wake crying once they're home and mom takes them out of their car seat. The SnugGlider Infant Car Seat Swing Frame continues the car ride so baby can get a longer nap - without mom having to drive around the neighborhood all day. The SnugGlider Infant Car Seat Frame Swing has variable swing speeds, two speed vibration, music and nature sounds so you can choose the right soothing "recipe" for your baby's needs. The lightweight, compact frame folds, so you can bring it on vacation, picnics, to Grandma's or anywhere you need instant soothing.

Product Description

This unique idea of taking a compact swing frame and attaching your Graco SnugRideTM or Infant SafeSeatTM or SnugRide32car seat (sold separately) came from experienced moms in today's busy life style. When baby is brought into the house and removed from the car seat they sometimes start crying and want that car ride to continue. The Graco SnugGlider will provide the perfect place for baby to have that car drive simulation. Variable swing speeds Frame folds or disassembles for storage and travel 2 speed vibration, music and nature sounds, allowing you to select the soothing experience that's just right for what your little one needs. The Graco SnugGlider is ideal for travel, picnics and don't forget grandma's house. Note: Please refer to your car seat instruction manual for weight limitations. Keep in mind that a small, quiet baby will swing higher on each swing speed setting than a larger, more active baby.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wish I would have gotten this a long time ago!!, February 12, 2007

What a great product! I wish they would have come out with it back when my first son was a baby! Our current baby is eight months old, and he is still in his Graco Infant SafeSeat (he has several more months' worth of room to go in it). The SafeSeat fits beautifully in this swing frame. Whenever I get home and my son is asleep in the car seat, I just pop the seat into this frame and turn it on, and he will go right back to sleep and stay asleep for a long time. Or if he is napping in the swing and I need to go out to run an errand, he stays asleep because I don't have to move him out of the swing into a car seat. Wonderful!

This is the only swing we have, and I find that it is the only one we need. As a plus, the swing frame folds up compactly and travels very well. The only complaints I have are: 1.) The swing motor is a little loud, and 2.) I have to run the swing on the highest speed to keep it swinging, since my son is getting a bit heavy. But overall, this is a brilliant and much-needed baby item!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product, minor complaints, July 12, 2007

This review is from: SnugGlider Infant Car Seat Swing Frame (Baby Product)

We bought this because we saw it as a great way to eliminate 1 piece of baby clutter by combining the baby swing with car seat storage. It is a fantastic product that makes my life easier and is well worth the money. When I know I need to do errands and my daughter is due for a nap, I put her to sleep in the car seat in the swing and then we're good to go whenever. So far, she is young enough to stay sleeping when we come home but I can see where it would help later on to keep her sleeping after she falls asleep in the car.

Like the other reviews, my minor complaints are that the controls for the sound and vibrations are very poorly located where you can't see them to operate them. I don't mind this at all because frankly, I find the Graco music boxes (on this swing and our pack-n-play) kind of creepy and I don't use them. The music doesn't have a nice "tinkly" sound like many baby music boxes and instead reminds me a little bit of a "twangy" organ sound like in a creepy movie. The motor is rather noisy but, hey, it doesn't bother my baby and the repetitive clicking sound might even sound something like a heartbeat to her. I think the motor is able to move such a heavy combination of baby and car seat by having a *very* smoothly gliding swing mechanism. I notice that if I put any pressure at all on the swing (like pushing in a pacifier), it can't swing against it. With this type of mechanism, I expect it to last a long time and it really don't go through batteries as fast as I feared it would.

Overall, I highly recommend this product. I only took off 1 star because I feel like the controls could be easily relocated by the manufacturer and because I really dislike that music.

5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite baby item..., March 27, 2007

By 

Staring Girl "Staring Girl" (Thornton, CO) - See all my reviews

This review is from: SnugGlider Infant Car Seat Swing Frame (Baby Product)

While pregnant with our second son, I was on a mission to find myself a small, lightweight swing that could easily be carried up and down our stars with my bad back and that didn't take up a whole lot of space in our house. With our first son, we had your standard bulky swing and I absolutely hated it because it was just too darn big a bulky. So, while pregnant with our new little one I actually found a small Fisherprice swing that I wanted but when I sent my husband out go buy it, the store didn't have it so he bought this one instead. Boy am I glad he did. This swing has all the features that your standard swing has (vibration setting, music, swooshing water sound, adjustible speed) with the added benefit of holding your infant car seat so you can just carry your baby from the car to this swing. Also, this swing travels very well so you can fold it up and take it to grandma's or where ever. My one concern before using it was that the motor wouldn't be powerful enough to swing a heavy car seat with a baby in it but it actually does very well.

Our son loves this and I love it. This is my new favorite baby item in our house.
