Now that we are second-time parents, we’ve learned a thing or two. One big lesson being how few precious moments of alone time or time to be productive we have now that we are tending to two little guys. Having baby gear to make our lives a little easier and to give us more of that free time is so clutch, and Graco has come out with two incredible products that do just that.
The Graco® SmartSense™ Soothing Bassinet and Graco® SmartSense™ Baby Swing are two baby items I couldn’t recommend more for parents. They each have Cry Detection Technology which hears your baby’s cries and responds to them by cycling through a number of combinations of sounds, vibrations, and rocking/swaying/swinging motions.
The bassinet has all the safe sleep features I look for, including mesh sides and a firm, flat mattress. Safe sleep is something that really gave me anxiety especially for our first baby, Bear, so I can breath easy knowing they’re safe.
In addition to the provided sounds on the bassinet, parents can also control the settings directly or stream songs and sounds via Bluetooth® wireless technology. So if your little one has a favorite song or sound you can play it for them! Seriously so cool. The bassinet is also so pretty and not an eyesore in our room, unlike a lot of baby products out there.
Plus, compared to the competition, Graco’s detection technology is superior and it’s priced way better ($399 vs.well-known premium market disruptors priced at $1700 and up!). I could never get behind spending such crazy amount on something when baby items can already add up! These kiddos go through diapers like no one’s business haha.
The Graco® SmartSense™ Baby Swing is also amazing. Using the same detection technology, it hears your baby’s cries and soothes them by rotating though the different sounds, vibrations, and motions. It gives you a few extra moments to do what you’re doing before having to attend to them! I’ve been putting Harry in his swing while I do dishes, clean up the house, and get ready for the day in the morning. It’s been such a life-saver! Especially when I’m on double duty watching both kids.
We have been loving this bassinet and swing so much! Click the links below to shop them.
