Surround him in softness-soft fabrics, a variety of soft music and the soft gentle motion of the toys on the mobile. For you, the function is two-fold, because the plush seat is removable, with wood handles that let you take baby from room to room! Whatever room you and baby end up in, the rich textures, earthy colors and beautiful wood accents will help create harmony in your home. Requires 4 D batteries. Also comes with an AC Adaptor. Please dispose of batteries safely. Additional features include 3-point restraint , 2-position recline and machine-washable seat pad, pillow and attached blankets. Never use with an active child who may be able to climb out of the product.

The Zen Collection features soft fabrics in rich colors. | A Secure and Soothing Place for Your Infant Yes, it's lovely to hold and cradle an infant in your arms -- but even the most dedicated parents need to put the baby down and take a break! This is why we love the idea of a baby swing; we've seen how they provide a comfortable, safe place for an infant, with soothing, rocking motions to help maintain a very important sense of security and calm. If you're familiar with older models of baby swings -- with their creaky mechanical noises and uncomfortable seats -- you should know that the Zen Collection swing definitely takes baby swings to another level. The swing's seat is designed for infants who cannot yet sit unassisted. Its basket shape provides security and support for the youngest babies, and it can be adjusted to sit the baby up or recline down. A plush seat cover, padded head support, and built-in cover keep baby comfortable. The swing seat can be positioned to move back and forth or from side to side, and it has a speed-control dial to allow for a variety of graduated speed settings. The swing is powered by battery or can be plugged in with the included adapter. It moves in a smooth, quiet motion with minimal mechanical noise. While baby is swinging, he can listen to one of 14 different soothing sounds with adjustable volume, including Muzak-esque remixes of classical favorites and unobtrusive nature sounds, like chirping birds and babbling brooks. Knowing parents will especially appreciate that the baby seat is removable and portable. So once baby falls asleep in the swing, you don't have to disturb him by removing him from the seat. Just lift the seat out of the swing to carry him with you to different rooms in your home. It's So Lovely! A baby swing is not small -- it's basically a piece of furniture. So we're delighted to find that the Zen Collection swing offers a contemporary and sophisticated palette that can complement your home's décor without making your house look like one big nursery. You won't find any frills or pastel colors here. Its contemporary pattern features sprays of leaves and dragonfly silhouettes in stylish tones of cream, chocolate brown, and moss green with ruby-red accents. Its lovely textural touches include wood-finished handles, satin accents, and embroidered detailing on the cover, as well as on the mobile toys, which are cute and stylish. The toys include two plush dragonflies and a plush turtle, topped with matching umbrellas. It stands on a sturdy, dark brown, metal frame that's heavy enough to provide good support and security. Not only is this swing good looking, it also makes a great choice for unisex decorating. Easy Assembly, Sturdy Construction The swing took us less than half an hour to assemble and required only a Phillips screwdriver. One minor problem: we had to re-thread the mobile so it could hang properly. The assembled swing has a 26-by-33-inch footprint and stands 47 inches tall with the mobile attached, so it takes up quite a bit of room. This is something to consider if you have limited living space. However, the base folds together easily, so you can lean it against a wall when it's not in use. What's in the Box Removable infant seat, mobile, swing motor, swing frame components for assembly.

Looks great but functions are limited November 16, 2008 Newborn Mom (Superior, CO) This product is good for a few specific reasons but is not going to meet every need. It was pretty easy to assemble but you have to be careful not to tear off the cyllinders of plastic padding from the metal bars that hold up the chair--it looks like packaging and is easy to mistakenly take off if you're not paying attention to the directions. The product is labeled to try to prevent you from doing this. It looks really great and complements my decor instead of clashing with it; however, the swing is pretty strong even on the lowest setting and it's too much for our newborn. I think she will like it more when she gets a bit older and heavier (she is only 6 pounds). So right now we aren't using the swing, just the bouncy seat and the music, which she seems to like. Also, the mobile doesn't have any motor, so it just kind of sits there and you have to manually move it if you want it to change position. The bouncy seat doesn't vibrate or have a toy bar that can attach to it either. For a newborn this is fine, but as she gets older she may need a separate bouncy seat that can keep her entertained.
Won't last long, baby will outgrow it quickly November 7, 2008 Shawn Duckworth (Rochester, NY) Overall this is a very nice swing, and I agree with other reviewers on the assembly instructions. My one buyer beware comment... your child will quickly outgrow this swing/seat. It does not incline very far so baby is stuck looking at the ceiling. This is fine for when they are little, but once they start to be more alert and wanting to see things around them, the swing becomes frustrating. I do love the swing, but for the money we paid, I wish I could use it for longer than a few months.
Beautiful swing missing a few essential yet practical things October 18, 2008 M. Malik 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought the swing after looking at a bunch others at my local store as well as amazon website. First the pros, its a gorgeous swing, really beautiful to look at. the materials r fabolous, the colors r soothing. pretty easy to assemble except the buckle situation with the seat legs, i was one of the unlucky ones who got the leg wrong and as soon as i did it i remembered that i read ppl discussing that here. i tried to remove the warning label with a nail polish remover, it was smudging it and had to really scrub in order to get it clean. anyways after trying almost for half a day, i was able to get the leg out, the trick is to get a narrow screw driver in from the back at the point where the legs click into the center piece and move the screw driver to a 45 degree angle slowly till the parts click out. u dont have to apply any force(which i was previously). the music is pretty nice. now the cons, i think for this price, it should have additional features. the mobile doesn't rotate, my son looks at it but gets bored pretty soon, i've to rotate it by hand to get his attention. the two positions that the seat has dont have that much of a difference, i think it should have another more upright setting. the seat is removable which is very convenient but i would have loved if it had some bouncer like features in itself as well like vibration and or music. i've an apartment and i bought it so that it would eliminate the need for a bouncer but it does not. overall, i like it because of its aesthetic qualities but it lacks quite a few practical details.
I love it and baby loves it too October 13, 2008 J. Aud The swing is great, I really love the colors and of course there could be a few improvements, but nothing I can't do myself to make it more unique. My baby loves it and naps in it really well. So, the mobile doesn't move, but you can really add some things on it to make it more interesting like some reflective stickers on the underside of the cone-shaped plastic pieces. Just having something that you can plug in and something comfy for your kid and does not make your living space look like a playpen is totally worth it for me. I would recommend sewing on a snap, tie or velcro to keep the kimono like cover closed b/c before I did that my baby did kick it up over his face which could be a safety issue. I just took a bib clip and clip the top cover snugly to the side handle so it doesn't budge and I put the babies arms on top of the cover. It's easily remedied. The music selection is great and I've noticed that if you keep it plugged in, the music does not stop like it says that it does after 20 minutes, which doesn't bother me a bit. Great buy, even my husband agrees now, even though he didn't like the price in the beginning
I love it!!! October 3, 2008 Nicky (Alabama) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I love this swing! I like that it has an AC adapter and that you can use batteries. The seat is very handy. My 6 week old son seems to like it too! I just wish they made in for adults!!!
