Product Information

You’ll have a lot of choice when it comes to garden swing chairs. There are options which are more upright, as well as those that offer the possibility to recline. But all of them provide that enjoyable, relaxing ‘weightless’ feeling. Construction material is important to consider. Powder-coated steel is a good low-maintenance, durable option . It can be left out year-round and is generally light enough to easily move around the garden. For a traditional-looking seat that blends into the natural surroundings, opt for a wooden frame. Be aware that wood will need treating annually. If you choose wood, the best garden swing chairs will be made from pressure-treated, FSC-certified timber . As long as you dedicate space in your home for it, we think you’ll appreciate this swing’s wide, supportive legs that provide a safe and stable experience for your baby. Compared to the other products we tested, this Munchkin Infant Swing is very compact—especially in terms of vertical space. It stands 15 inches tall, which is the same height as a bowling pin, and weighs as much as a gallon of milk. Although it required two people to remove the seat from the base, we could easily move it from room to room and store it under a bed or couch.

For most people, it is often a matter of aesthetics as to whether they choose wood or steel. Steel frames generally require no maintenance, whereas wooden frames will likely require treating annually with a sealant to stop moisture getting in. Tray – our tests found that the bigger the tray, the better. Some trays include a sippy cup holder, while others come with removable tray inserts – making cleaning up much easier. A tray that's adjustable and detachable is a useful feature to look out for, as it will allow your baby plenty of extra space in the high chair as he or she grows. When shopping for a baby swing, parents should consider the product’s safety, stability, and weight limit. They should also pay attention to the type and size of the swing as well as its features, such as a mobile, sounds, and app connectivity. When testing these highchairs, we considered age suitability, size, portability, multi-use, ease of cleaning, weight and whether there's a harness. A polyester canopy will offer more protection from sun and rain than a slatted wooden canopy, but may suffer damage in windy conditions.These are a couple of the ‘extra’ features which can feature on swing seats, you might want to look out for them if they sound appealing to you: Some three-seat swing seats may have as low a weight capacity as 200 kg. If this weight is divided evenly between three people sitting on the seat, it would mean that each individual’s weight should not exceed 66 kg. This garden swing chair is also comfortable. It comes with a padded cushion for the seat that can be removed if needed. The cushion might be considered a little on the thin side, but it’s still a comfortable swing chair overall – it swings very gently, and there are armrests on either side. Made from Textolene fabric, this chair is easy to clean and has good weather resistance. Textolene is strong, fade resistant and doesn’t get too hot. The fabric is stretched over a powder-coated steel frame so it can be left outside year-round. There are no cushions, so there’s nothing that needs to be brought inside if it rains, but the fabric canvas is softer than a hard seat. In our experience, assembling and using this swing was so intuitive that it required little to no reference to the manufacturer’s instructions. The buttons that operate the swing were self-explanatory, although we would have liked to see a simpler way to change the music rather than pushing a button to cycle through every song. When using the timer, we recommend reading the manufacturer’s instructions so that you understand how the lights correspond to the time intervals.

Strong winds can damage the fabric shade though, so fitting a protective cover over the top in winter should help avoid this. The wood will also require regular oiling or treating if it is left out all year round. Design-wise, there’s a lot to love about this swing chair. Whilst it doesn’t have a lot of ‘extras’, it’s a stylish, well-designed seat. The rattan is strong and easy to clean, and the brown-and-cream colour scheme is complementary to most gardens. Some of the best garden swing seats have adjustable canopies. These can be positioned as needed to offer maximum shade from the sun throughout the day. This isn’t a feature that is available on all swing seats, but might be useful if get a lot of sun in your garden. For long afternoons spent in the sun, you can’t go wrong with the SORARA Garden Swing Chair. This stylish three-seater swing chair is covered by a canopy to keep you cool and shaded. It measures 191 cm long, 118 cm wide and 180 cm tall.Make sure the high chair has a working harness that's not frayed – ideally a five-point harness with over-the-shoulder straps.

To begin testing, we gathered a team of 10 Verywell Family editors (most of whom are parents) at the Verywell Testing Lab in New York City. We evaluated each baby swing according to the following key criteria: Additionally, both the cushions and canopy can be removed and stored inside in the winter months. The padded cushions also have removable covers to make them easy to wash. Fink DJ. What is a safe noise level for the public?

The ultimate young baby set

Not everything related to this swing was easy, though. Attaching the swing to the base was nearly impossible, even after we asked multiple people to try their hand at it. It wasn’t until we watched a video tutorial that suggested an alternative method that we were finally able to complete this step. Thankfully though, after assembly, using the swing was pretty straightforward for us. For three people to sit on this seat, each person will need to have an average weight of 66 kg. Therefore, although advertised as a three-person chair, it’s more practical as a two-person model.
