Assembly

Pros:

  • "Easy to put together."
  • "I was quite daunted by all the pieces when I opened the box but actually the instructions are very clear and it was pretty simple to set up on my own."
  • "This chair was easy to put together with pieces that click together and a couple screws to secure the lower bar to the swing arms."

  • "It's also easy to assemble."
  • "It was so easy and quick to put together out of the box."
  • "It’s easy to assemble and the material feels soft and plush."

Cons:

  • "The assembly is quite complicated and takes some time."
  • "Assembly wasn't 100% easy, a few pieces took some work to fit right, had to wiggle around."
  • "Horrible to assemble. I cut my finger trying to get the metal poles into their holes."
  • "I am having a hard time assembling the first one because of the back. It won't snap in."
  • "First problem, not easy to assemble."

Design & Features

Pros:

  • "This is a lightweight swing but with a sturdy feel."
  • "Pro's: Easy to fold, easy to assemble, takes up less space if you just want to put it in a corner due to having a small room."
  • "Variable speeds, cute hanging animals for the baby to look at."
  • "The design is very cute, the seat cover does have soft blanket like fabric and the toy overhead has a nice modern design to it."
  • "The chair has 5 speed settings, the lowest is a gentle rock and highest is quite fast."
  • "The swing itself is well made and sets up easily, just needing to be unfolded and have batteries put in and the toy bar attached."
  • "The swing has a few different settings (different speeds etc) but isn’t too “techy”."

Cons:

  • "Con's: Not good for eating as it has a soft suede material and it would be a pain to clean as its light grey and white."
  • "The toy bar and being so low to the ground makes it hard to get her out of the swing."
  • "The only issue I have with the toy overhead is that there’s no height adjustment, it sits very low and is directly in the child’s face."
  • "The shape of the back of the seat and the lack of variety of positioning for straps creates too much of a curve and pushes babies head forward into a dangerous chin to chest position."
  • "The swing is too shallow for a large baby. She can Stop the swing with her arms and if not belted can slide herself out of the swing potentially causing harm."
  • "The seat of this device is a pouch. My baby sinks in this and has her chin resting of her chest."
  • "The position of head rest is too high for 1-3 months old baby and therefore does offer and head support."

Pros:

  • "I also love it because it folds so easily and I can hold baby and fold and carry it with the other hand."
  • "It’s quite bulky so I appreciate the fact you can fold it up when not in use."
  • "The folding options is very nice, it makes it very compact."
  • "It's light weight and small so when the baby is sleeping, I can carry the whole swing upstairs or down stairs without waking him up."
  • "This swing is great!! I bought to stay at Gammy's house so they don't have to lug all the baby necessities around. It folds up nicely for storage."
  • "Battery operated for easy portability. Folds in half for storage and easy to carry."
  • "This is great so I can take it outside so baby has a place while the big kids are playing and I can supervise."

Cons:

  • "It’s awkward to get baby out and in but it’s good for the price."
  • "This is bulky to move from room to room."
  • "It says portable but to me anything that can be portable should be compact. This is not. Super bulky and tedious to take down."
  • "Purchased for cross-country travel. Swing is light weight, but does not come with a travel case and won't fit in a suitcase unless taken apart with a screwdriver."
  • "The swing is too shallow for a large baby."
  • "I bought this for a baby shower back in December. They just put it together last week. The legs are warped. We got it put together, but it's locked up. Only moves about an inch when we push it."
  • "The headrest cannot be adjusted as advertised."
