The Motion of the Ocean

This swing was designed to mimic the bouncing and rocking motion of a parent holding their child in their arms.
To achieve this, the swing has five different motions for you to choose from — car ride, kangaroo, tree swing, rock a bye, and wave. Additionally, it has five different speeds, making 25 possible combinations of rock-a-bye baby!
4moms also recognizes how important sound is for soothing your child. They’ve included four presets (entertaining melody, soothing melody, sounds of nature, and brown noise), plus you can also hardwire your device to the swing and play baby’s favourite tunes (please, no more Baby Shark!).
Smarter Than the Average Swing
Earlier, we mentioned that the Multi-Motion uses modern technology — say hello to app control!
The 4moms app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store (Android), or the App Store (Apple).
- Installing the 4moms app on your device allows you to control the swing via Bluetooth. You can adjust the motion, speed, and sound...all from the other side of the room.
- Using the “Find Your Roo” feature to rock your phone (yes, literally rocking your phone in your arms!), you can customize motion and speed for your baby.

In Safe Hands
4moms is serious about safety.
Even though the Multi-Motion moves at relatively slow speeds, little ones are still developing their muscles, spatial awareness, and motor skills, so it’s wise to be cautious.
To prevent accidents, the swing comes with a convertible restraint system for a snug fit at all times. It’s to be used as a 3-point harness for small babies and then as a 5-point harness once they get a bit older and can sit up unassisted.
Of note, even though the Multi-Motion is super comfortable for babies, it’s not designed or approved for sleep. Only use the swing at ground level (never on raised surfaces), and keep an eye on your child while they’re in it. If they begin dozing off, move them to an appropriate firm and flat sleep surface (ie. a crib or bassinet).
