5.0 out of 5 stars Best I've tried out of 5!, November 18, 2007

This review is from: Boppy Rock In Comfort Travel Swing (Baby Product)

This swing combines the features of a swing with the features of a luxury recliner, and adds all the goodies a well thought out baby product should have.

The swing is light weight and folds like a sandwich, so its really easy to move around and take travelling with you. Its incredibly strong - I've carried the swing with baby in it, in and out of the house and even dragged the swing across the floor with baby in it and it's not shown the least bit of damage from the abuse. My 3 and 4 yr old have gotten into into it on occassion, too, and hasn't affected the swing either.

I really like the hammock style seating. Its really cozy, and fits my baby more naturally than sticking him in a traditional swing with a plastic molded seat. Ug! I had 2 different models of those - Graco, and Fisher Price, and the trays and leg-divider bars make it difficult to put a baby in and even worse to take the baby out (esp if he's asleep!!!) And if a really young baby falls asleep in a traditional seat, his head slumps forward and it doesn't look comfy or safe. I felt safe leaving my baby in this swing to sleep and some nights, it was the only way any of us got sleep!

There are 2 back positions - upright and flat. The flat is not really flat - about a 30 degree incline (which is GREAT for reflux or gas!). The upright is not really straight up, either, its like an adult recliner at that point.

The music is AWESOME! I had the Aquarium bouncer by FP and it played the same monotone music with bubble effect. But it got worn out and the bubbles didn't work and sounded awful, (my hubby had to disconnect the bubble feature!) and the music sounds really scary and warped when it starts to die. The Boppy music actually has several different catchy songs that you can actually identify individual insturments in! Its a mini symphony, not just one digital note after the other!

The battery life of this thing is unbelievable! I used this swing for hours every day and didn't need to change the batteries for 2 months!! It has a really awesome feature that keeps the swing swinging at the same level even as your baby gets heavier! All the other swings I've ever had didn't do that. By the time my other babies were 6 months old, they'd outgrown the swing - they were too heavy to get good swing and it ate up batteries quickly. This thing has really gentle, to really exciting speeds and is unaffected by how heavy your baby gets.

You can set the timer to automatically shut the swing off after so many minutes, or just turn it on and it still shuts itself off after half an hour (? I think). The motor is SO quiet, I remember the first swing I got had a motor that started creaking as it got older till finally it was unusable b/c I thought it would crack while my kid was in the swing! Bluh.

As for getting out of the swing, my baby is 10 months old, and he starts out laying back, then sits up and then kind of tips himself out the swing all by himself. Its NO BIG DEAL because the swing is so low to the ground he's actually safer falling out of that than falling off his own feet. There is plenty of room between the swing arm and the bars, so there is no chance of your kid getting any body parts trapped anywhere, if he gets out, he won't get hurt (unless he bumps his head on the bar - but that's not going to kill any one.)

Oh, there's also a really neat lock feature so the swing doesn't swing, but is just a chair. This is usefully when taking baby in or out, or if you want to feed him in it - its not so wiggly.

Well, I hope this helps, I've had 2 other traditional swings, 2 bouncers, and just a vibrating/rocking baby seat. This one kicks BABY BOOTY!! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT, its the one baby item I wish I had with my older 2 and will give as a gift to all new mommies. :)

4.0 out of 5 stars OK Swing with Great Portability and Looks, December 15, 2007

This review is from: Boppy Rock In Comfort Travel Swing (Baby Product)

In general, it seems your mileage may vary with swings -- some babies love it, some don't. We liked that this one wasn't a huge investment of money and space for a relatively short-lived item.

The Boppy Swing has served many purposes for us actually. As a very newborn (up until 6 weeks), our son didn't like his crib so the swing became the main napping spot and bassinet. We found the seat to be too deep for a newborn though, so we cushioned him more with folded blankets for better support/posture. In terms of the motion, at first he liked it and it helped him fall asleep; now at 3 months, he doesn't actually like or need the swinging so much, but it's still a handy place to put him down.

Pros:
+ LOVE that it's light and folds very easily and compactly. You can just take it from room to room (great for the kitchen, living room, trip to grandma's, and apartments).
+ Looks good: nice understated colors; the bees are adorable
+ Pleasant music
+ Swinging is nice and gentle
+ Battery life is good; haven't changed the batteries yet with medium use

Cons:
- The curvature of the seat doesn't seem that comfortable for small babies; the pillow is thin and not adjustable
- Not very powerful; it takes a little while to get swinging; babies motion is strong enough to interfere with swing motion at times
- Watch your hands while opening the legs (I stupidly pinched myself badly one time.)

5.0 out of 5 stars love it, May 10, 2007

This review is from: Boppy Rock In Comfort Travel Swing (Baby Product)

My baby boy (5 weeks old, 10 lbs) and I love this swing. It's low-profile, nice to look at, and quiet. The pleasant music is optional. You can set it to swing for 8, 15, 30, or 45 minutes. It has many speed settings; the slowest is a good, gentle speed, and the fastest is good too. It has a 5-pt harness (or you can forgo the shoulder straps and use it as a 3-pt harness). It's light and folds up nice and flat. Seems very sturdy. I can't comment on the ease of assembly because my dad put it together, but he didn't seem to have any trouble. I put the baby in it this morning and for the first time I actually had a few fuss-free minutes to take a shower. I definitely recommend this swing.

The one thing I would change is the activity bar... it's adjustable, but the toys don't seem to be able to go low enough and far enough away from the baby's head to be amusing to him. Then again, maybe he's too young to take interest in them.
