4.0 out of 5 stars Yep- it's a swing, February 20, 2006

We recieved this as a shower gift- and we feel pretty lucky. The colorful toy bar holds a certain level of attraction for our son, but so does the white cap at the top. When he gets too stimulated by the toys, my son turns his head and watched the stationary end cap.

The toy bar is on a swivel and swings over the top to rest against the back of the seat. This design allows mama and papa to retrieve the baby easily. As a c-section mama, I greatly appreciate this because there is a lot less strain in lifting my son out of the seat.

The assembly was pretty straight forward and done in about 20 minutes. I read the instructions and dad assembled. The instructions may actually be the best we had with any of our baby items, we understood each picture and every word in each complete sentence made sense. The instructions were obviously not translations but were written in English.

The swing is thankfully quiet when the lights and music are off. However, when the bird sounds are on - eww - the noise could be birds or squeaky doors. We stick mostly to the classical music, which is similar in sound to the "baby einstein" classical cd's. The music redeems the fake nature sounds.

Luke reccomends the swing as a quiet operater, with great colors, and the easy exit swing away toy bar.

This swing is awesome! We put the swing together when my son was a week old and he loved it. He went through a period when he didn't enjoy it as much and then went back to loving it. I love that the music/light bar can be put behind the swing. Killian doesn't really enjoy that for extended periods of time, so we rarely use it. It works great at calming him down if he is upset, when nothing else works. Also, if he is having a hard time falling asleep, we put him in until he falls asleep and then move him to his crib.
*I love that if folds, so if you don't have a lot of space you can fold it and get it out of the way.
*I just changed the swing batteries yesterday for the first time, and we've been using it for 12 weeks.
*The chair padding is great, nice and thick and colorful.
*The music bar is very colorful. And I just figured out, that as baby gets older, if you pull on the butterflies, it makes different noises.
Someone else had noted that her son would turn his head to the side and stare at the white area on the swing stand, my son does the same thing. It must be calming.
This is a great investment!

I love this swing. The music is mellow and has 2 volumes to choose from. It is not too stimulating which is great if you are using it to calm a cranky baby. The pattern is bright and cheery. I have been putting my son in it since he was 2 weeks old and never had a problem. I would highly recommend this swing to anyone.
