Swing Baby Baby Swing! (A Fiona Video Review)
By Celeste
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RJA0D6TSS4SYX My husband put this swing together in about half an hour. It required a Phillips head screwdriver. He said it was "no problem" to put together. The pieces went together intuitively and the instructions were easy to follow.We currently have a Graco Glider Petite, which is a more compact version of this swing. The one big issue I have with it is the horrible quality of the speaker. I was more than a little nervous when we fired this one up and I heard the familiar tune. Happily, this swing speaker is MUCH better. Not only is the speaker decent, but while some swings have a high/low option only for volume, this swing has a completely adjustable volume.As with the Petite, the seat is very plush and deep, so I feel like the baby is very secure in the swing, even without the easy-to-use five point harness system. The weight recommendations for this swing is between 5.5 lbs and 30 lbs. My daughter is 7 months and almost 18 lbs and fits comfortably in the swing. I wish the manual included a suggested length maximum, but only says to discontinue use when infants "attempts to climb out or reaches 30 pounds."This full sized swing rocks with a left to right motion. The seat is set up in a locked position. (I only mention this because some swings of this type have swiveling seats.) The entire seat removes from the swing and doubles as a bouncer. I love this feature. When you have a child, you will find that your living room, your entire house, becomes swamped with baby things. You will be amazed at how much stuff you "need" for a child. Having a bouncer that sits in the swing means you have one less thing to trip over on the floor. My daughter enjoys being in the swing and has no trouble falling asleep while swinging.Unlike many infant swings, this one has both a battery and wall outlet option. This is really nice as you will find that once you become a parent, you will buy more batteries then you ever thought any household would need. The swing itself can plug into the wall, however the bouncer only works on batteries.Overall, I'm thrilled with this swing, as is my daughter.

Solid Construction, easy to use. Well made
By T. Bux
This is a great swing for baby. Well made, fairly easy to put together, with features that will make it easy to accommodate your needs.First, assembly is fairly easy. The only hitch is when assembling the seat, it is a bit tricky to insert the legs and then put the two pieces of the seat together. You need a philips screwdriver, getting the screws to match up is slightly tricky. After that assembly is a piece of cake and the whole process should take less than 20 minutes.The whole item is quite large, though the seat can disconnect and act as a bouncing seat so you can take it with you. The seat not only acts as a bouncer, but when connected to the swing arm acts as a gentle swing for baby. The seat also can recline or be set up more for a more upright position.The seat also has a vibration feature with two settings. Low or High vibration. This feature REQUIRES two D batteries (not included).The easy to understand controls control music, with decent sounding gentle songs. The control knob allows you to set swing speed from 1-6. The swing operates very quietly and swings side to side.It also features a small mobile for baby's viewing pleasure.The swing can run on half a dozen D batters (again, not included) or run off AC wall power with the included adapter. Since this swing is large, we just leave it plugged in at all times.The seat also has covers for the straps. They easily come off, and I found myself just removing them rather than always trying to find them. The straps can be adjusted as your baby grows and it also includes a padded head rest.Overall, a well built swing with great features and easy to use and assemble.

Meh.
By Cupcake
This swing's about average in quality and performance, and you get less bang for your buck than with other similarly-featured models.Pros:-relatively decor-neutral and gender-neutral color scheme-removable bouncy seat is handy and replaces an extra piece of gear if you need to seat the baby safely in multiple spaces-plug-in and battery options-fairly easy to assemble (need only a phillps screwdriver for 4 screws; everything else clicks into place-reasonably sturdy-baby versions of classical music are far superior to typical annoying generic baby tunes-toys easily remove from mobile frame and could be replaced with something more engaging.Cons:-loud motor, sounds like a groaning, cranky metronome.-harness seems flimsy-harness padding is really cheap and impractical--the shoulder pads fall of easily, and the weird padding thing on the crotch strap has to have the shoulder straps threaded through each time you use it--totally inconvenient and cumbersome if you're trying not to rouse a sleepy baby. They're also just cheap and awkward. Compared to the padded Fisher Price harnesses, they seem like some kind of junky throw-away tote bag you'd get at a convention, and make a decent swing look really cruddy. They're also uncomfortable for a baby and have to be fairly tight for the baby to feel secure because they're so narrow. And my baby's only 14 pounds; I think with a big baby, it would seem like a package tied with twine.-mobile is dull neutral colors with no contrast to attract baby-mobile hangs too low, putting it right in baby's face when swinging-mobile doesn't swing out of the way; has to be removed completely-there's no effort to make the rod and tubular metal frame look more attractive.All and all, I wouldn't recommend this swing unless it were about half the price. It's not dangerous or horrible; it's just uglier and flimsier than other similarly priced swings with the same features. If you're going to fork out a big chunk of cash, you deserve a better swing. I was really well pleased with the Graco playard/bassinet/basket set Graco Day 2 Night Sleep System, Ardmore, so I know Graco can make great products, but this swing is not one of them. If you're looking for a swing with a removable seat, music, and plug-in/battery options but much nicer appearance, mobile, and harness (but, admittedly, also has a LOUD motor and the standard awful baby music), I love our Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing.
