From The Manufacturer

Graco's Simple Sway proves that great things come in small packages. This smart swing has tons of features to help you soothe and comfort baby, all packed into a compact frame design. It's easy to keep baby close wherever you are at home! You'll have the option to power up with batteries or save money with the plug-in. The side-to-side swaying motion comforts your little one and 6 swing speeds let you match baby's mood. A mobile with 3 soft toys, 15 songs and sounds and a 5-point harness to keep baby secure round out the swing's terrific features. Rotate the speed dial clockwise, and lightly push the swing to get it started. Observe the swinging motion for a minute. It takes time for the swing to adjust to a setting. Change setting if needed by moving the dial clockwise for faster speeds or counter-clockwise for slower Brand Story By Graco

The harness and buckles are high quality and provide excellent safety for your sweet little one. Plus, the weight limit is higher than most brands at 30lbs, which makes this a long-lasting purchase. VERY important for money saving mamas!
