The Sweetpeace can mimic sounds heard in the womb. | Innovative Sensory Comforts Based on Scientific Research The Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center was designed based on significant research into the needs of newborns, as well as feedback from real-life mothers. This unique tool is designed to simulate the comfort of the womb with customizable touch, sound, sights, and movement. Four unique seat positions and four different cradling motions mimic how you cradle and hold your baby, and six speeds allow you to customize the Center's movement based on your baby's mood and needs. A two-speed vibration provides baby with a subtle, calming "massage,Eand a built-in swaddle blanket, head support, and snug five-point harness keep baby feeling extra secure. Soothing, familiar sounds help to relax your baby as well: choose from low-frequency sounds that mimic sounds heard in the womb; natural sounds such as heartbeat, rain and wind; or lullabies played through the high-quality speakers; or provide your own play list with the included MP3 connection and holder. Baby's eyes are kept from over stimulation with an adjustable canopy, which controls light and limits baby's line of vision--making it easier for a tired baby to feel calm. A close-by mirror gives baby something interesting to focus on quietly. Versatile and Convenient The Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center's removable carrier seat can be placed on the floor to double as a stationary rocker. You can also use the Center with any Graco Infant Car Seat--so you can easily transfer your sleeping baby from the car to the Soothing Center in your home without disturbing his nap. The Center requires no assembly; it can be powered by five D-cell batteries (not included) or with the included AC adaptor. About Graco In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. For 11 years, the firm fabricated machine and car parts for local manufacturers. In 1953, Gray left the firm, leaving Cone as sole owner. Cone decided to manufacture his own line of products, but had trouble coming up with ideas. Enter David Saint, an engineer, tinkerer, and stained glass artisan who worked for Graco. Saint, himself a father of nine, was intrigued when an associate told him how his wife would soothe their tired and cranky baby while swinging in a backyard glider swing. Acting on this inspiration, he went to the drawing board and 18 months of hard work later, the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic, was born. Graco sold millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process. Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, their dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products remains, and continues on. What's in the Box Graco Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center with carrier, and AC adaptor.
Amazon.com Product Description The world's first Newborn Soothing Center, Graco's Sweetpeace uses patented motion with four seating positions to create the perfect resting place for baby. Distinct sensations recreate a mother's movements and address the multi-sensory needs of infants. Developed with significant scientific research, the Sweetpeace calms baby via four of the senses: sight, sound, scent, and touch. Sight: Because newborns need visual simplicity, the Sweetpeace is made with neutral colors for a calming effect, has an adjustable canopy to control incoming light, and hosts a mirror that helps baby settle by focusing on their reflection. Sound: Comforting, low-frequency sounds recreate the in utero experience, while high-quality music offers sleepy songs for quiet times or upbeat songs for alert times. There is also a nature sounds (wind, rain, ocean waves) option, or an MP3 plug-in connection and holder allows you to create baby's customized playlist. Scent: A parent's scent is most recognizable and soothing to baby. The Sweetpeace includes removable soft components (a swaddling blanket and head support) that can be infused with nature's "aromatherapy" and calm baby with the familiar smells. Touch: A 2-speed vibration calms and relaxes with a subtle "massage" while the 5-point harness offers gentle ventral pressure that simulates "hugging." The Soothing Center also moves like mothers do. It has four unique seating positions that imitate how you hold baby, four cradling motions, three recline positions, and six speeds that can be adjusted to baby's mood. 
No tools are necessary to assemble the Sweetpeace Newborn Soothing Center. | 
Babies (and parents) are calmed by the Sweetpeace's multi-sensory technology. | As if all of this wasn't enough to make you wish you had one of these when you were a baby, Graco threw in some other thoughtful features. The removable seat doubles as an infant carrier or a floor rocker. On the flip side, the Soothing Center's frame is car seat-compatible and accepts all Graco infant car seats. No tools are required to assemble the Sweetpeace. The device can be operated using the included AC adaptor or it can function on five D batteries (not included) should you be someplace without an available socket. Designed for babies up to 25 pounds.

make sure you buy it from a store/dealer October 9, 2008 If you are considering this purchase, make sure you buy it from a physical store or online dealer that will accept returns. I say this because the first unit I bought was defective in that the arm was able to swing, but NOT with the cradle on the arm (and certainly not with my son in it), so it was essentially useless. Luckily, I purchased it from a store and exchanged it for another unit, which has functioned perfectly.
What I like: *assembly is easy, and takes only about 20 minutes *rocking motion is very smooth, and my son loves it -- even if he's not necessarily sleepy, he will sit in it for extended periods of time and be perfectly content, which is otherwise unlikely to happen even if one were to hold him in one's arms *ambient white noise tracks are nice, especially the river/running-water one, which puts my guy to sleep really well -- the other ambient tracks are in-utero heartbeats, rainy storm, and trickling stream *the unit plugs in to the wall, and is able to run indefinitely or you can set the unit to turn off after 30 minutes *doesn't take up much space, occupying about 3 ft x 3 ft *padding is very soft, and the head-rest is nice to prevent your baby from rolling off to the side *cradle is detachable and is able to rotate into different positions without moving the base
What I don't like: *motor is annoying if white noise or music is not playing -- it kind of sounds like a man-goat groaning *music is kind of lame and tinny *speaker pops when you turn it off and it startles my son, so I cover it with my hand to dampen the noise *expensive relative to other swings *would have been nice if the first unit I purchased was functional
Couldn't do without this swing! October 7, 2008 Ouch, it hurt spending so much money on a swing.. not knowing if my baby would actually like it. At first, he didn't. I thought for sure that this was going to be filed under "waiting for ebay". Then I started using the swing with our Graco carseat, and my life as a stay at home mom changed dramatically.
For some reason, though its adorable and cushy, my baby doesn't like the seat provided with the swing. We now use the seat elsewhere in the house, but he still doesn't like to sit in it for long.
Before I started using the carseat in the swing, the baby only slept on my chest for naps. He wouldn't sleep anywhere else. Then once I started sticking the carseat on the swing base, low and behold, he sleeps! It makes sense.. he is used to his carseat carrier... this just keeps him in motion in a seat that he already loves. I take him from the car, or stroller, and put him right in the base, and it keeps him napping nicely.
This swing comes with a lot of bells and whistles that I don't use, however, the electric adapter is something I couldn't do without.
Should you buy this particular swing? If you can find a swing that is electric, and fits your carseat carrier, and is cheaper, I would say go for that. The electric cord, and carseat adaptability is worth the price.
Amazing October 4, 2008 This product is absolutely amazing. I've never seen a better product for babies and I wish I had had this for my first baby. The technology used in this product is amazing. The swing is actually designed to mimic the rhythem (spelling?) of a person walking. The seat is set up like a cocoon around the newborn. The best part, in my opinion, is the sounds. You have several options. You can download your own songs to an ipod and plug it in, there are classical tunes preprogrammed into the machine, and there are a series of differant white noises to choose from such as rain, womb sounds, ocean, ect. My husband and I loved the white noises so much we'll probably end up using it even after the baby is done with it.
Great Swing October 1, 2008 I think the best advantage of this swing is that it plugs in! We looked all over for a swing that plugs in. We also like the vibrating feature for the chair, it really relaxes our baby. The canopy is good to dim the lights so baby can sleep better. We really like how you can put your Graco car seat in the swing so when you get home you can put baby from car seat without taking him out so he will continue sleeping. The Ipod feature is nice to play our own music.
Great swing!
Beautiful, but didn't work for our baby September 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a beautiful piece of equipment. Of all the items I received at my baby shower, this was the one I was most excited about. It's very well designed and I love all the features - especially how cuddly the seat is and the fact that we could also hook in our car seat. The only problem for us was that our son really didn't like it at all. He would occasionally sit in it for 5 minutes or so, but most of the time he would start wailing the minute I got him anywhere near it. At his daycare, they have a Fisher Price Papasan swing and he LOVES it. We ended up buying one of those and sadly, the Sweet Peace is sitting in our basement in hopes that any future babies may enjoy it. The Sweet Peace is really nice, but if you can, try it out before you invest $$ since it doesn't work for every baby.
