Portable baby swings are smaller, lighter, and have fewer functions than the regular ones.
Though most of them are not foldable, it’s small and light enough to move around the house.
Also, it’s compact, helping you save a lot of space. So, it’s ideal for apartments or houses with small spaces.
Usually, portable baby swings rely on batteries to function. You save time looking for power points especially when you’re traveling.
If you’re looking for portable baby swings that use AC power, you’re limited to a few choices.
With plug-in types, you don’t have to keep on buying expensive batteries when using at home, giving you more $$$ savings.
Imagine when the batteries die right when you need them the most.
