A baby swing can be a lifesaver for overwhelmed parents. Still, proper usage is crucial for infant safety. We'll cover all you need to know in this tutorial on how to use a baby swing safely and successfully throughout your child's growth.
Why Safety Matters
Despite their safe design, baby swings can cause mishaps if not used properly. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), babies should never be left unattended in a swing, and swings should not be used as a substitute for a crib or bassinet for sleeping.
At AngelBliss, we prioritize safety. You can feel secure knowing that our Baby Swing Collection has undergone extensive testing to meet or surpass all safety regulations.
