  • This swing was great for my second child. It is beautiful, has soft fabric, and the side-to-side motion was especially soothing. Mar 08, 2024

  • We really loved this swing, as the motions where perfect to soothe my baby. The only downside is that it broke and was unusable for my second lo. Apr 21, 2023

  • Tried and true! Worth it! Both of my kids liked this over the mamaroo. Apr 20, 2023

  • A god-send. It gave me relief and would help baby sleep quickly. She liked both direction options on the swing (back-forth, side-side). the music and mobile were plusses too! Mar 02, 2023

  • My baby loves this swing! He loves to look at himself in mirror and watch the toys twirl around. It allows me to get things done around the house because it keeps him entertained. Jan 08, 2022

  • Both my boys love the side to side swinging motion. Helps soothe when irritable. It may be more traditional than other baby motion devices but it works. Dec 15, 2021

  • I love that I can control this by an app ❤️ Very convenient Aug 23, 2021

  • Loved this. It does swing fast when they are newborn & it’s a little loud. But overall it worked really well. Sep 22, 2020

  • I had this for my first two babies. Neither of them cared for the swing but the swing had no issues. Jul 14, 2020

  • This swing was great for when my little boy was a newborn, after he was about 5-6 months old though he no longer wanted to be in it for very long. It was great at first though! He loved it! Jul 10, 2020

  • Baby loved going to sleep in it. Lasted 5 months. Started to shake when baby got to 14 pounds. Apr 02, 2020

    This swing is a lifesaver. Before this, my baby was attached to my chest 24/7. Feb 29, 2020

    Have used this brand swing with both my children. After trying other brands we finally found this one. Love that it swings back and forth as well as side to side. Highly recommend!! Feb 16, 2020

  • Must have for newborns. Especially if baby has reflux. Jan 18, 2020

  • So pretty, but I wish the mobile spun. The swinging action is lovely and can change direction which is a plus. Jan 04, 2020

  • My LO loves this, and I like all the options with the music & mobile. That being said, the motor started to burn out almost immediately. This is too pricey an item for such a serious design flaw imo. Apr 19, 2019

  • Wonderful swing with plush, soft cover. Very smooth ride. It also has a nice variation of speeds/ sounds. My only is negative the swing becoming noticeable slower as my 8 month old approaches 18lbs. Mar 01, 2019

    This was a gift, but it doesn’t last long... baby grows out of it so quickly it’s hard to justify the price and the footprint in the house. Mine also had 3 elecrical issues which FP covered but still. Jan 23, 2019

  • This product was nice because it rotated the way you could swing the baby and has alot of sound settings my kids both slept in there swings more than there cribs. Sep 16, 2018

  • Where would I be without this swing. Our newborn would swing for hours. This is how we got any sleep at night no kidding. The rain melody was his favorite. Operating buttons light up in the dark. Jul 16, 2018

  • Swing does not feel sturdy the legs move alot. Really wanted to love this but it is not like the others. Jun 20, 2018

  • This wasn't the miracle worker I'd hoped it would be! Baby boy will only sleep in it for 20 minutes max. It doesn't go fast enough for my little thrill-seeker! Mar 20, 2018

    Its a nice product but takes up a lot of space. I prefer to use the fisher price space saving swing - cheaper, smaller, and still gets the job done. Feb 21, 2018

  • This swing is horrible! It barely moves at all. My baby was 10lbs when we started using this and it just doesn’t work at all. Tiny little circular movements. I definitely do not recommend this swing . Feb 10, 2018

  • I loved this but it broke after only two months of use with my second baby. Helped while it worked but disappointed in the poor life span Feb 07, 2018

  • My little one love this swing. I put him and get so much done in the house. The design and colors are beautiful. I just wished the mobile moved. Dec 22, 2017

  • The lights and music are soothing to our son! Nov 13, 2017

  • The swing moved way too fast for our little's liking. The unit is large and the cutesy pattern of the seat and mobile were too much for us. Oct 26, 2017

    Must must must have. My baby can spend hours in this thing. She loves the mobile and looking at herself in the mirror. It's been a lifesaver since day 1. Going to cry the day she out grows it! Oct 18, 2017

    The kid hated the Mamaroo and would only tolerate life while he was being held. This swing was purchased in desperation and is a lifesaver. It's the only place we can set him down w/o the world ending Sep 21, 2017

  • My LO refused a bassinet so this was his sleep haven for the first year. He loved it and it would rock his to sleep. Highly recommend. Very sturdy as we have 2 big labs who liked to knock into it. Sep 18, 2017

    Son loved it for the first two weeks and got bored with it. Great product but is very bulky and take up a lot of space but overall good product Jul 20, 2017

  • We got the puppy version of this, not loud at all, nice music and nature sounds, my son loves to fall asleep in this swing Jul 11, 2017

  • The design of this is beautiful. Plus, my baby loves it. The vibrating seat shut off is a little annoying, but I love the light and that you can choose nature sounds or music. Great for daytime naps! Jun 26, 2017

  • Love love love this swing. Saved me from many sleepless nights. Both of my younger babies got to have this swing and would sleep in it for hours. It was so useful when I had to get dinner done, etc. Jun 19, 2017
