 Sweet Swing November 1, 2008
Kevins (Denver CO USA)

We purchased this in Aug 08 and it has held up well over the last three months.
First read the directions prior to assembly.
What we love:
Plug-in operation! This has saved so much in batteries it's not even funny.
Fabric durability! Had a few accidents on the way and washed it few times, stitching holds up well and no shrinking.
Motor durability! We run this about an hour a day on average, however when our child was sick we plugged it in next to the bed and ran it all night twice without issue.
What could be done better:
Although this swing is not any bigger than others we have had in the past, a simple design modification at the joints could allow this swing to fold up and store better. Our home is rather small and every bit of space counts.
Recline could use some work.
 disapointed October 24, 2008
T. Britt (usa)
i bought this because it was a good price on amazon and also because it uses an adaptor and i wanted to save on batteries. plus it is supposed to be used with babies up to 30 pounds. the fact that it had a plug was number one. well i am disapointed because it has six speeds and it hardly moves. it swings back and forth very little and somewhat fast rather than like a wonderful battery powered swing i had years ago that had six speeds and and you could see the difference in each speed, even with heavier babies. its like it swung slower but higher like a real swing. this swing has no power in the swing, its a weak little back and forth like motion...
six speeds? what a joke.
and it doesnt recline enough for a newborn or young baby. also the colors of the little animals hanging overhead is quite boring. however looking at a lot of the swings...most of them have very little strength in the swing. meaning its just a little sad back and forth movement that is on the fast side....not a slow controlled back forth movement with a good sized distace from back and forth position.
big disapointment. they need to work on this one and then they will have a winner.
 Nice Swing October 15, 2008

My baby got this swing as a present, and we like it a lot. I love that you can plug it and you don't have to worry about changing the batteries.
The only thing I would change is the music.

I also bought this swing for the plug in feature, which was helpful, but not much. My son did not like his swing at all and once I used my sister's papasan swing, he would go right to sleep a lot of the time. The seat is hard plastic with little padding, so maybe a blanket would help, but my son didn't fall for that either. I didn't have a problem with the swing stopping if a blanket fell out or it being too slow (how fast do you need it to go?), so my only real issue was the hardness of the swing. You may also want to add your own mobile interests as the ones on the swing aren't very captivating!
AWESOME!! July 31, 2008

I bought this swing for my god son and it has been a lifesaver. He was a very fussy little one and this swing always seemed to calm him. The music and the fact that it can be plugged in was a plus.
