After a lengthy review process to find what we wanted, my wife and I decided on this little swing. I say little, but that would be a lie, these types of swings aren’t little.
After using it for a short while, I can honestly say I love it. It’s a great swing that’s easy to use, simple to adjust, and pretty darn cute. Everything is very solid, I was not afraid that it would collapse or fall apart. It’s also lighter than it looks, making it easy to move around to different rooms. The music isn’t nearly as obnoxious as so many other musical baby toys, almost pleasant to listen to. It’s not 100% sunshine and rainbows though.
I felt like there was a lot to put together. More than the crib. More than the car seat, stroller or pack and play. The directions are straightforward though, making it easy to put together. The motor makes noise. Most people can drown it out. I have to slam on my brakes if there is something rolling around in my back seat. My wife suggests I may not be able to drive once our daughter becomes more active and starts throwing things, we shall see. Sadly, we’ve tested other kinds (our friends have all had babies recently it seems) and they all make the same noise. That said, it does make the same level of noise no matter what the speed, so there’s no need to worry about it getting louder.
It comes with a power cord, but it can run on batteries too. I haven’t been able to check the battery life in this, so I can’t vouch for it either way. The seat can face forward (rocking side to side), or sideways (rocking forward and backward). This was a nice little touch that makes it more convenient in case your baby prefers one over the other. The seat cover is relatively easy to take off, great for washing. At the same time it has plenty of points where it clips/straps on, so there’s no worry about it coming off.
