We love having baby attached at the hip, but there are times, say, when you need to go to the bathroom, maybe take a shower or possibly (just possibly) hold a cup of coffee and actually sit down to drink it. The new Fisher-Price Revolve swing may be the best alternative to you that baby’s gonna get: The swing’s rhythmic motions are designed to replicate mom’s natural movements. WHAT WE LOVE

The Revolve features a circular swaying motion that’s designed to imitate how mom naturally moves. It has six speeds and two recline positions so you can select the setting that’s right for your child When baby’s awake, you better believe it’s playtime. This swing comes complete with an overhead mobile, 16 songs and three sounds A common complaint when it comes to swings is just how big they are. At 25 percent smaller than other full-size swings, the Fisher-Price one deserves props for its space-saving frame

SUMMARY The ability to soothe like mom would and still save on space earns this swing our vote. Price: $130, Available January FINALISTS
