    This is one of the best baby products we have ever purchased! The option to plug in or use batteries to operate this is key. It has been used by so many kids in my family and still looks brand new! Jun 01, 2022

  • We had multiple swing options and this was baby’s favorite! Love the space saving fold up! Nov 21, 2021

  • My now 6yo adored this swing! Any little fuss could be swung away. You can change the swing position which was nice. IMO you can swing slightly over the 35lb limit. It is washable,but stained easily. Dec 13, 2020

  • we loved this swing! My son used to watch the animals going around all the time then pass out. It has many different sounds, can turn swing, easy to take everything off to wash. Overall amazing swing! Aug 11, 2020

  • We loved this swing. I liked that it could go both directions and the best part is that it plugged in and we didn't go through hundreds of batteries. My boys liked it and would hang out or sleep in it Jan 24, 2020

  • My 2 kids really didn’t like this swing. They loved swings, but this one sat a bit low for them and was a bit aggressive in the swinging Dec 19, 2019

  • My baby liked looking up at the mobile; however, he wasn’t a huge fan of actually swinging. I liked that this swing could swing side to side as well front to back with an easy turn of the seat. Aug 15, 2019

  • I used this swing for my first 3 kiddos and it was a dream. Never had any issues with it and was do easy to clean! The fact that you can plug it in is a lifesaver by itself! Apr 21, 2019

  • I got this as a baby shower gift. It served us well for rocky nap days and when I needed to do dishes/laundry in the early days. Baby grew out of it at about age 6mos as he got more mobile. Jan 20, 2019

  • Adjustable swinging positions cute designs no batteries needed and last for ever ours lasted 5 years 2 kids Jan 07, 2019

  • This swing was great for keeping baby at ease. It was great colors and size wasn’t too bad. Jan 05, 2019

    Have the rainforest set. Feels safe and entertaining. Oct 07, 2018

  • My first born really loved this one. Sep 11, 2018

  • It's nice the mobile moves around to keep baby entertained. Runs on cord or battery which is nice and it folds up (that is wonderful for transportation). Swings both front to back and side to side Sep 07, 2018

    This was a pretty good swing. My mother in law had it for my son. I wish be wouldn’t have outgrown it so fast. Apr 05, 2018

    This was the best swing! We got hours of sleep thanks to this model. Rocks like a cradle or swing. Easy to use. Vibrant colors. Plugs in. Moving mobile for visual stimulization. Mar 26, 2018

  • Son loves this. Love the option to change direction of swing. Also love the option to plug in to not use so many batteries! Mar 22, 2018

  • We loved this swing! It was a lifesaver for my sanity when my son was colicky. Jan 27, 2018

  • My son loved sitting in this swing, it would keep him entertained! Jan 03, 2018

  • Son hated the swing , wasn't interested in being in them. Every baby's different though. Nov 25, 2017

  • My first baby wouldn't stay in this for more than 10 min, but my second loves it. Very subjective to baby. Product works adequately, but with second child is starting to squeak when rocking. Mar 30, 2017

  • This was the first swing we bought with the plug in option and I'll never buy another one without a plug. The fabric didn't make my daughter sweat and that was big plus. Mar 29, 2017

  • Being able to plug is a must, batteries die to fast Feb 24, 2017

  • This was my second swing and we loved it! It plugs in I love that you can adjust the back the music and the mobile this is a good buy! Feb 19, 2017

  • I had this with my first child and it worked great at first, however it didn't last very long mechanically. Within the first year it lost power. Dec 07, 2016

  • Was a hand me down. It worked for us. I liked the fact that the tray turned sideways. Jul 25, 2016

  • This is fairly easy to get my daughter in and out of since the mobile moves but the tray was often in the way. I like the theme but it was very bright for nap time which is when it was usually used. Jun 09, 2016

  • I got this second hand from my sister in law, works fine but struggles with big babies... Which I have! Mar 04, 2016

  • My baby didn't love it at first, but now on some days it's the only way I can get him to take a nap! No judging, I know that napping in a swing or other device isn't the best:( Mar 04, 2016

  • Baby hits legs on snap open try ALL THE TIME, waking him up. I keep this one at my mothers house and we hardly use it. Feb 07, 2016

  • I love that there is a plug-in adapter so that you don't need batteries and that the mobile moves to keep your child's interest. I don't particularly love the tray, however. Jan 21, 2016

  • Had this with my first two boys and loved it. Had nice features loved the fact that you can move the mobile to put the baby in the swing. Jan 17, 2016

  • Used it all the time with my first but became a sleep crutch so didn't use with #2. Works great though but is big Oct 02, 2015

  • I had this for my first two babies. Great gender neutral gear, but took up too much space in our house. Jul 11, 2015

  • Picked a used one of these swings up off of craigslist for $35. My four-week-old daughter usually enjoys it. If your kid likes to be rocked or swung, this is a good swing for them. Dec 14, 2014

  • We haven't used this much, but on the lowest swing setting it seems too fast for you newborn. Apr 24, 2014

  • Love, Love, Love. One of the best parts is it plugs in!!! We were going through batteries WAY too quickly with the battery only swings! Feb 24, 2014

  • love this. mine has a power adapter instead of batteries and love that about it. Jan 10, 2014
