SnugGlider by Graco

Looking back at Andy's infancy, there are products I wish I didn't get (or think that I needed) and there are others that I really wish I had. The Bumbo Seat is one I wish I had as I desperately wanted to put Andy down in a sitting position for some reason, but he was a late sitter. Another is a product that has just been released, the SnugGlider by Graco. Like thousands of other mothers, I bought a Travel-System from Graco. I know some people don't like them, but I was actually very pleased with this purchase. Sure, the stroller is huge and I bump into things all the time when I go to the mall, but it's sturdy and did very well on walks. The SnugGlider is an accessory to the car seat part of the Travel-System. You place the car seat into the frame, turn it on, and you have yourself a swing! If you have a baby that is ok sleeping in his car seat and you don't want to wake him up when you get home from doing your errands, you can put him in this to keep his nap going. I can think of countless times when this would have worked for me. Andy loved his swing, and he always woke up within 10 minutes of getting home because he would notice that he was no longer moving. I could have gotten so much done if I'd been able to put him in the SnugGlider. The frame has variable swing speeds, music and nature sounds, and a two speed vibration. It's also easy to travel with, so you can take it wherever you're going! If you purchase one of these, please come back and tell us what you think!
