  • My guy loves this swing but I wish it didn't use batteries Jun 26, 2024

  • We switched back and forth between this and a FP bouncer, depending on kiddo's preference as he aged. Both were life savers for keeping kiddo occupied while we got things done. Jul 17, 2023

  • My son loved this swing! Wished it was sturdier as he got bigger (him leaning forward made me nervous sometimes) but it never fell over. Jun 06, 2023

  • This was a great portable swing to take along in travels. Baby always enjoyed being in it and loved that it had so many functions Feb 19, 2023

    Purchased for a trip. Baby was not a fan. It’s small and compact so the swinging motion was obviously very limited. If your baby prefers back and forth they will probably like. Jun 02, 2021

  • This is a great portable swing! It doesn’t have all the bells and whistles of a larger swing but it’s also so much more compact and takes up less space. It folds up easily for storage and travel! Mar 10, 2021

  • My son hated this swing. He would cry every time we put him in it. We eventually gave up and it just collected dust in the closet. Mar 07, 2021

  • Perfect to take along anywhere. Folds up really small. This was perfect to take camping with us. Love that you can stabilize it when you don’t want it to swing. We used it at home a lot as well. Oct 24, 2020

  • I recommend this swing to everyone! I love the compactness and that it’s battery operated. We literally take it everywhere with us! It’s easy to fold up and pack in the car. It’s lightweight. Oct 05, 2020

  • This was gifted to us and I wasn’t sure if my baby would like I she does loves it! I only wish the seat would recline a bit; it’s too upright for my baby to be in longer than about 15 min. Apr 14, 2020

    My baby loves this. Easy to pick up move around the house. You can adjust swing settings, music, and turn vibration on if you desire. Only downside- it eats through batteries and they aren’t cheap. Apr 12, 2020

  • I really think it’s super cute, pretty compact, but takes a ton of expensive batteries! 4D batteries for the swinging motion, & C for vibrations. Did help my nanny babies nap, but overall not worth it Mar 26, 2020

  • I love this swing. Takes up little space, vibrates, plays music, has different speed settings for swing. Only thing I don't like is that it's so low to the floor it can get cold for baby. Jan 01, 2020

  • My son preferred this over the 4 moms Rockaroo Dec 21, 2019

  • Really wanted to love this but after two warranty replacements and no working swing, I am left disappointed. Unfortunately, the many C batteries required still dont give this baby the oomph it needs! Oct 04, 2019

    This was perfect for travel!!! Folds up nicely Oct 02, 2019

  • We kept this swing in our office to use when I had to take the baby with me. It was super compact and handy. The music is soothing and it worked great. Aug 22, 2019

    It was good for a couple of months but baby outgrew it and had legs dangling touching the floor bc its not high off ground. Aug 22, 2019

    • Alissa S.
    • Douglassville, Pennsylvania

    PROs: great, battery operated swing which allowed for ease of taking on the go. CONs: seat was not too supportive or comfy, difficult to fold Aug 21, 2019

    • Kayla G.
    • Mount Olive, North Carolina

    Folds up real easy and good for traveling! Especially if you get the travel bag! Jul 26, 2019

  • Great at home or on the go! Just wish it had a power cord instead of always having to use batteries! Baby also love the vibration and music feature! Jul 01, 2019

  • My son really loves swings and we wanted something that was easy to take places this is perfect and even fits on our dining table when we are eating I don’t have to wait till he’s asleep he sits with Jun 27, 2019

    • Megan B.

    I like that this folds fairly compact. I sometimes feel like it isn’t the most sturdy and could potentially tip, it hasn’t but it appears to have the capability, especially with a baby in it. Jun 04, 2019

  • I wish I did not put on registry and choose another. My son does not like this. He prefers the rocker or his bouncer. I can only put him in this for a few minutes before he wants out of it. May 15, 2019

    • Sapna F.

    This swing has come in handy sometimes when we needed to put baby down for a few minutes to get things done. He liked it, but the swing controls were not quite right sometimes he was going fast on low Mar 10, 2019

    I love this swing. Mine is the jungle one. My baby looks relaxed every time I put her in it. Wish it had an ac plug option. Feb 28, 2019

  • Found this a bit awkward to get the baby in and out of with the bar on top. And the fabric in the middle with the straps was constantly slipping and needed to be readjusted. Otherwise I liked it. Feb 22, 2019

  • My son hated this. Literally would never sit in it. Jan 28, 2019

  • A super cute, functional, compact swing. However our baby hated it. She would not stay in this swing for longer then 5 mins. I really wished she liked it as much as I did. Jan 13, 2019

  • We love this swing because it’s easy to store and doesn’t take lots of room around our home. It has music and it vibrates and it’s also easy to travel with. Sep 06, 2018

    great for travelling Aug 29, 2018

  • This is a staple at grandpa's house! Small, portable, and affordable with great musical features. It can be noisy but maybe mine had a defect. Gender neutral colors are a bonus! Jul 24, 2018

  • The slowest swing setting was too fast for newborn stage but he did like the stationary vibration. He could lean forward and make the whole thing tip over pretty early on so we didn’t use it long Jul 12, 2018

  • So easy to move out of the way when company is over. Doesn’t take up much space at all. Baby loves this swing Jul 07, 2018

  • One of the items I had that I questioned needing. They don’t use them for long. My son didn’t care for it. Maybe used it 5 or so times. Hoping my next kid will enjoy it. Jul 04, 2018

  • Great for Grammies house! Jun 27, 2018

  • My daughter doesn’t care for this swing. The longest she used it for was 10 mins. Jun 27, 2018

  • This worked miracles with my first 2! This was the go to! I didn’t need anything else. My 3rd baby is a more picky baby but is starting to warm up to the swing at 4 months Jun 23, 2018

  • It's fairly easy to put together and easy to take on the go! Baby loves it too! Jun 01, 2018

  • Only swing my baby loved. Best feature - Easy to move around the house or take outside. May 23, 2018

  • our Baby loved to be held and sometimes putting him in this was the only way we could put him down and have a break. May 11, 2018

  • I have his in a different color but my baby loves that it plays music while singing. Apr 13, 2018

  • This is a great portable swing for small spaces. My little one can watch me get ready or fold and put away laundry while smiling and swinging away. He has fallen asleep with the soothing vibrations. Jan 12, 2018
