Overview
Living rooms and nurseries where a fussy baby needs settling get a swing that listens: a built-in microphone hears crying and the swing changes its settings until the baby calms. The multi-direction seat doubles as a portable rocker, so soothing can move to another room.
Hands-free response is the reason to buy: with cry detection on, the swing cycles through motions, speeds and sounds without a parent at the controls. Parent Mode saves a favorite combination, and detection can be switched off for normal use. Expect a short service life, because the swing and rocker limits are low and the frame is heavy to move.
Who it's for
A home with a baby who calms with motion, white noise or music will use the automatic soothing most. Parents who want gear for an older, heavier baby, or something light to carry between floors, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Cry detection adjusts settings without a parent
- Parent Mode saves favorite settings
- Seat doubles as a portable rocker
- Multi-direction seat for varied motion
- Swing use ends around the climbing stage
- Rocker mode has lower height and weight limits
- Heavy frame for a baby swing
- Spec sheet weight limit conflicts with usage notes
Performance notes
Cry detection relies on the built-in microphone hearing the baby, so the swing reacts to crying and steps through its settings until the crying stops. Results depend on whether the baby responds to motion and sound at all, and with detection off it runs on whatever settings a parent selects.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Graco Sense2Soothe swing run on batteries?
The listing mentions an AC adapter only and says nothing about battery operation.
Can I turn off cry detection on the Graco Sense2Soothe?
Yes. With Cry Detection off it works as a traditional swing, and Parent Mode lets you save the settings your baby likes.
Why does the Graco Sense2Soothe list two weight limits?
The spec sheet shows 35 pounds, but the usage notes say to stop swing use at 25 pounds and rocker use at 18 pounds. Follow the lower usage limits.
How does the Sense2Soothe know my baby is crying?
A built-in microphone detects crying, and the swing automatically adjusts its settings until the baby is content.
