Necessity Scale: Must Have
Ahhh, now here's a smart idea! We all know babies love love love swinging themselves to blissful oblivion and that automatic swings are really a perfect busy-mom device. I can't tell you how much "putting to sleep" time I've saved by gently snuggling Baby X into her swing and letting nature take its course.
This gizmo, however, seems to be even more convenient because a car seat can click right into position. The official description says it was designed because:
"Moms told Graco that their baby is content and sleeping in their car seat on the drive home from visits or errands. When baby is brought into the house and removed from the car seat they sometimes start crying and want that car ride to continue. The Graco SnugGlider will provide the perfect place for baby to have that car drive simulation." - Yep, that sounds about right.
Although the swing itself doesn't seem to come with as many swing speeds as many others (this one has two and the one I have, for example, has eight...But I always wondered just how necessary an eight speed swing was anyway...), it still comes with music, vibration, and nature sounds. This model wins hands down for portability and convenience though!
Also, as far as I can tell, you don't specifically need a Graco brand car seat for it to work, any Infant SafeSeat car seat will do. Overall, very cool product that could be a lifesaver for parents who travel a lot and who can't always arrange activities around defined "nap times."

Does this car seat swing while the baby is in the car, and the car is in motion?

No, it's meant to be in your house, or to take with you on trips. The point is that you can keep the baby who has fallen asleep with the motion of the car "in motion" by taking them out of the car and clipping them into the swing when you get home.
A lot of babies will wake up as soon as they stop moving, so this swing lets you keep them in their car seat AND keep them moving.
