 Great Swing.Mar 19, 2010
By Jeffery L. Shearer
"xbox360junkie78"
Got this for our 2 week old daughter. So far we are very pleased with it. We own alot of Bright Starts items and love the quality. This uses 4 c batteries. Has a timer for 15-30-45 minutes if you want to use this feature. We usually just leave it on without using the timer. Very easy to put together. Does not seem to go through batteries alot. We give this 5/5 stars you will be pleased.

Good SwingMay 07, 2010
By Carrie Balda
This swing is pretty good so far. My 3 month old, who is pretty big (90th percentile) fits in the swing perfectly. Not sure how much longer it will last though, if she grows any more, her feet will dangle over the edge! I would recommend this swing for newborn - 4 months old. It is super quiet (we used to have a Graco, and that one was LOUD), and the settings are very easy to use. It wasn't bad to assemble either (I did it all by myself...no hubby around!) you just need a screwdriver. I have the Pink Pastel one, and I love the colors and design. It is also very soft and comfy for the baby. My little one also loves the toy bar, and I love that it is so flexible so I can take her in and out of the swing easily. The only reason I didn't give this swing 5 stars is because the recline options don't seem very safe. Every time I put the swing in the upright position, it seems to fall back in the recline position. It scares me, but the baby is always fine, just jolted a little. But other than that, this swing is great for little babies...if you need a small swing to rock your baby to sleep, get this one...don't go for the monster sized Graco one; this one does the job for 1/3 of the price!

 Ok for a portable swingJun 17, 2010
By K. schwartz

I am a mom of two and have owned several baby swings. My kids needed the swings to get them to sleep when they were infants - if you have a bad back and can't rock your child, then a swing is what you need! If you are looking for portability then this is a great swing, but keep in mind that NO travel swing will be as powerful as a full-size model. We have the full size Fisher Price papasan and the ocean wonders swings, and they were amazing and plenty powerful - colicky babies prefer vigorous swinging to soft rocking. Yes, they eat through batteries, but who cares when your child will sleep 4 hours in the swing as opposed to 1 hour in the crib! But I digress...As for this travel swing:
Pros:
Much more portable than a full size swing
More portable than the fisher price travel swing (I had the ocean wonders model)
Folds pretty flat for travel
No noise at all (the full-size models always click when swinging)
Decent battery life for a swing
Easy to assemble
Has a recline option
Decent music if you want it
Timer if you want it, or just leave the swing on constantly
Cute to look at for you and baby
Easy to clean
Cons:
"Speed" settings are really all 1 speed - why bother with a speed dial? This seems to be typical of all swings though, both travel and full-sized.
Will never move as vigorously as a full-sized swing - top speed is barely moving in comparison to a full-sized swing. If your child is used to a full-sized swing, this swing might not move vigorously enough to rock him/her to sleep. However, if they are not used to a full-sized model than this one might be fine.
A tip for all swings: Use good batteries (Duracell only) to get the most vigorous swinging out of your swing. The cheap ones, even Energizers, will barely move your swing!
Update: 1 BIG CON for this swing that I discovered last night - it automatically shuts off after 1 hour, even without using the timer feature. I wanted it to run continuously like the full-size swing would, but it won't. Why include a timer for 15 minute increments if the swing shuts off in 1 hour anyway? My babies wake up when the swing stops, which is exactly what happened. Argh! This makes the swing fairly useless to me if I want my baby to sleep in the swing during the night, because she will wake every hour when the swing automatically shuts off!

Fantastic portable swing!May 26, 2010
By E. O'Donnell
Love this swing! Our 5 mon old is average for weight but in the 84th percentile for height and still fits nicely in this swing. I prefer the reclined position as our little one tries to lean forward when it's in the more upright position (unnerving even with a 5 point harness). As others have mentioned, it's a very quiet swing, folds down nicely, has a convenient timer feature and is great on battery usage. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars (I'd have given 4.5 if possible) is because this swing doesn't have a swing lock that keeps the seat stationary when placing baby in or taking baby out...I end up bracing the swing against my leg to keep it still.
Amazon price and shipping was also top-notch.

Nice, quiet travel swingJul 23, 2010
By babyt'smom
I did A LOT of research before buying this swing and I feel we made a pretty good choice. We got this for the traveling capabilities, as we have a large swing as well, but we tend to use this one more than the big one! It is light, you cannot hear it operating, and the songs are pretty good (wish there was a bit better selection but it isn't too bad). My son seems to be pretty comfortable in the seat, and it does seem to have a better shape/more cushion than other models we tested out. There are a few cons of this swing: 1-you cannot lock it in place, which makes it a little difficult to put baby in and take baby out. 2-the swing shuts off after 1 hour. Sometimes if my son has fallen asleep in the swing it will wake him up when the swing suddenly stops swinging so we have to time it out to start it up again. 3-it needs handles of sorts at the top to move it with. It is portable and folds up nice, but that would just be more convenient. I actually didn't see these on any portable swing, I just think this is my own personal gripe so I would not rate the swing lower because of this. Overall we are very happy with this purchase.
