Review:

Simple and uncomplicated, this swing is everything a baby swing should be. Although it lacks the bells and whistles of other more expensive models, this swing is a workhorse. The design is sturdy and solid. It has a 3 point restraint and non-slip feet ensure that baby is safe in this swing. The open top design makes picking baby up from the swing and putting baby down in the swing very easy. When removing a sleeping baby from the swing this design makes it easy to avoid waking them up. Operation is a breeze as well. If space is a concern, this swings compact design is a big plus. This product is available in three different pad designs to fit any decor. Suggested retail price is $46, which is on the low to average side for a new swing in a retail store. It is exclusively available at the baby depot at Burlington coat factory. I can also be found used and new on eBay, craigslist, in your local paper, and other similar places for less than the suggested retail price. The only major draw back that this swing needs battery changing fairly often, depending on amount of use. With an average of two hours use per day the batteries will need changing about once every two weeks.

If you are looking for a baby swing without all the extras that does it's job this baby swing is ideal.

4 out of 5 stars
