Does this swing have any kind of restraint or harness? Or is the blanket the only thing keeping baby from falling out?

Yes. It has both the standard shoulder and waste restraints that all baby swings are required by law to have.

YES!!! The blanket just covers the harness. Makes it look pretty, but if your kid is anything like mine was, she loved to kick her legs up and play with her feet so the "cover" spent most of its time to the side. :)

Yes. There is a three section harness attached to the bottom of the seat. When we put my grandson in the swing, the bottom part is between the legs and the other part fasten from either side. You can adjust how tight or loose you want the harness. My grandson is 10 months old now and still loves swinging. Hope my answer helps you...Mildred.

As others have said, yes, it has a seat belt. I have a tiny two year old who is a swing fanatic. She bends and twists and leans forward and backward while swinging. She is very secure, even when leaning far forward. I don't worry at all, but I'm also right there the entire time, too!

It's a plastic half circle buckle that you have to thread the nylon strap through and then back out. My 2 year old can't do it, but hasn't really cared. The seat is pretty deep and she can have multiple dolls in it at a time without them falling out.

I have a bouncer, bassinet and a swing and we use all of them on a daily basis. Its not recommended for the baby to sleep in the seat or the swing. The bouncer seat was a god send because it was the only thing that calmed my colicky baby. I took off the toy bar and did big bounces to calm him down and even put him to sleep. The toy bar is great for entertaining for 10 minutes while you shower or wash dishes. I would recommend the bouncer over a swing, but the swing does pacify for a longer time than the bouncer.

I didn't use it all the time. When the baby was very small I didn't feel like he could flip himself out or anything and sometimes I didn't want to risk disturbing his sleep. I tried to put a blanket underneath him to avoid the buckles. But I'd say it's better to use it just to be sure.

Yes it has a safety strap, but we don't use it, because we are always there when our twin great grandsons are swinging. We have 2 of them and these swings are great!

Not exactly - I usually lay it over the cart or high chair and then put the baby in the seat and secure all of the straps while I hold her. I really like the cover. It is soft and my LO likes the tags which I can also use to secure toys to.

No straps, it's more like a solid piece with leg holes. My one year old loved it.

Unfortunately not. It's basically a booster seat with a detachable back that can be buckled down. But my 3 year old son enjoys riding in it and doesn't ever look uncomfortable.

The chains on the Swing N Slide are not covered, however we bought this set for our grandchildren and we have had no problems with pinching. The kids hold the handles to gain momentum. If you hold the chains the swing won't swing straight. All of the other swings on our set are covered because you hold the chains.

The swing is not made to hold a carseat, there is no where to click one in and it could easily be too heavy. I would say absolutely not.

No, unless you place a blanket around baby to stable them, but this is a great take along and great for everyday use

I put a burp cloth down under my son so it would be soft and cover the strap. It is not recommended to put your baby in it without using straps. I will also for safety reasons not say to use it without straps. I did however use it with my son and he was swaddled and not strapped. I never left him in it and he was so little he was not rolling around or reaching. Hope this is helpful! Oh p.s. The vibrate feature was a huge lifesaver. This really was one of the few things I took with us everywhere.

Mine is still an infant but I do believe this will be an issue still. I got the GT though and will use a blanket to prop her up if needed. No big deal in my opinion

The blanket is not detachable. Whenever I don't want the blanket on him, I just have to let it hang out while it is unzipped. I don't mind it though. If it's really that warm, I won't zip him up all the way anyway. I think there is another version of this cover that doesn't have a built-in blanket. "Arctic" in the product description is the one that "includes" the blanket.

No. It has a 3-point harness with 2 straps at baby's waist and 1 between baby's legs.

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable putting a little baby in this swing unless they have really good head and neck control and can sit up unassisted. While the seat back isn't straight upright, like a chair, the harness isn't very tight; and I could see a little one's head falling forward if they aren't able to hold their head up too well.
