Can’t fault it – Great swing, easily moves 180 degrees from cradle rock to swing motion. Has easy touch controls, can set the timer, adjust swing speed, & turn on music or white noise. Cover is soft, straps easily adjustable. Show details

horrible quality control, craftsmanship and warranty replacement! – Purchased hundreds of dollars worth of the Winslow collection. Only to find broken wires inthe swing! Only thing offered is a refund . Parts not available, swing not available.....I'm due in 2 weeks, on bedrest and it is a total inconvenience to now have to replace what is supposed to be a quality product. Especially at nearly 200.00! All they… Read more

could offer was money back or a different swing. RIDICULOUS! VERY DISSATISFIED AND WILL MAKE SURE ITS PUT OUT THERE.

Perfect everything I want – I have the Seneca, it has everything I was looking for in a rocking seat; 4 positions to rock, vibrations,music/sounds, iPod connectivity, light show and moving mobile PLUS runs via power instead of battery! My baby loves it and so far been reliable and awesome!!!!

A Must Have for reflux babies – I searched high and low for the perfect swing with the perfect angle for our silent reflux baby. Wow. Our lives changed , it was amazing most others have the seat laying down too far back so the reflux burns their little throats but not this swing. I could finally put the baby down without her crying because the swing moves by itself and even… Read more

comes with white noise !! Baby stopped crying immediately! we have used it with our other babies too ( non reflux) and it was so soothing . . .LOVE IT! It's also very strong. I put it together myself from scratch so if I can do it anyone can.

A godsend – I had a very clingy baby. I couldn't put him down he would always wake when I put him down. This swing saved my sanity! I could put him down and he would sleep for a couple of hours. I could secure him in the swing so I could go to the bathroom or eat my meal. I recommend everyone has one! Ease of use. Battery saver. Baby loved it It's so big! I know it would need to in order to be safe for baby but it takes up a lot of room

Past meets technology & a whole lot more – I remember when I'm still young, my mum used to assemble hammock under the mango tree and there she'll put my little sister to sleep, me swinging the rope gently. Having children of my own at this time makes life even better. This Swing is the best by far. My son loved it and can sleep for hours uninterrupted for his day naps. He'll play so… Read more

well for some time, which is understandable for very curious baby. But overall, highly recommended to all mums. So convenient yet so throwback-revolutionized. As long as you turn off when not in use, battery life will last longer. Only 2 reclining options and not much head support for newborn, a bit flat.

Excellent swing and customer services! – I got this swing as a gift off my regisrty. My twins loved it......the side to side swing was soothing for them. They fell asleep in it every time. I had to call customer service for a piece and I tell you the service was excellent! You don't get to often. Very reliable to put my babies asleep! Piece broke

A must have! – I got this for 6 week old baby that was waking as soon as she was put down in her cot. With this swing I can put a sleeping baby in it and she wont wake! She's happy sleeping in it for hours. Its also great as a place pop bub for a few minutes when they're awake whilst you do something. She'll generally sit there staring at the mobile contentedly… Read more

for at least a few minutes. This swing has truly revolutionalised my life as now I can eat meals/cook and even have a minute to go to the toilet without either carrying the baby with me or putting her on her cot and listening to the cries. If you've got a bub that is diffucult to put down, get one! It Works! Silent. Gender neutral colors. It does take up lots of space.

Puts baby to sleep – I first got this when my daughter was 3 weeks old as she loved being rocked. i would put her in there and she would be very happy and would fall asleep. Now that she almost 5 months old the rocking doesn't really put her to sleep very often now but she thinks the swinging is great. we put her in there on the fastest setting and she swings away laughing her head off lol.

My best purchase for baby – I already had a rocker but I was finding that my baby would cry unless I rocked him and this would usually happen at the most inconvenient times. So I decided to buy a swing. It's been my best purchase yet. When I need to get ready or do chores, I pop my son in the swing and he's happy there. He sleeps in the swing a lot longer than he sleeps in… Read more

the cot during the day. I chose this swing as I could turn the seat and have my baby swing two different directions. A lot of swings only swing forward and back but this one does side to side as well. Changing the swinging motion has assisted in calming my son when he's been grumpy. I also like that the seat has a padded insert. My baby looks very comfortable in it. The colours are nice and neutral. It's easy to work and doesn't seem to use much battery power as they last for ages. Comfortable seat, baby looks secure, doesn't use much battery power, can change direction of swinging motion, has timer, neutral colours Takes up a lot of space, can be expensive to purchase if not on sale

Great Buy – After deliberating between the Little Lamb Papasan swing/ Fisher Price Zen, I couldn't validate the cost against the limited time the product could be used. Bought the Ingenuity Swing on impulse for $129.00 - massive saving as compared to other swings. Works like a dream, silent & stable. Needed to use extra neck support for my newborn or he… Read more

slumped to one side 2 swing directions, 6 speeds, music not too harsh Bulky, not much neck support for a newborn!

Fantastic swing – This swing was so great for settling my rather unsettled, grumpy baby - especially in late afternoon. We used it from about 3 months to 9 months and it was a lifesaver allowing me time to get dinner cooked whilst he had a nap in it - when he woke up we were both happier! choice of music or nature sounds. Also being able to swing sideways as well as back and forth. Low battery use a little bulky when set up

saved my sanity – This swing is fantastic. Bubs was so unsettled in the first couple of months and it was the only thing that kept her quiet. It is super quiet, the music options are good and bubs is super comfy in it. If you have a super unsettled baby, put it on the fastest swing setting with the white noise 'sound' and that should do the trick. Would highly… Read more

recommend to everyone. Big W is the cheapest place for it and it is about half the price of the fisher price one. buy one!!!! Reasonably priced,low battery usage,quiet,nice colour A little bulky,hanging mobile dull and boring.

Busy mummy of 3 – We love this swing, is great value and we have had a lot of use out of it. Bub has had reflux from birth and was 4 weeks premmy, She has been in this swing from birth as it was the only place we could get her to sleep longer than 5 minutes as she loved the continuous motion. She has recently transferred to the cot, but we still use it for her to… Read more

sit and play in during the day and great 4 if i am busy with my other 2 and she needs a nap and i haven't quite got round to putting her down for her sleep, she can quite easily nod off in the swing. I loved the 5 point harness which in the end is why i decided to buy this swing over any others and of course the very reasonable price. I liked knowing she was safe and secure no matter what. Reasonable size and we had it in our room beside i bed for 1st 5 months and are only just considering moving in it permanently to the lounge room. I will be extremely sad to see this swing go as it has been great. I highly recommend it to everyone. Very well priced,5 point harness for extra safety,seat turns 180 degrees-3directions. Baby can lie down or sit up,Very quiet, Sturdy , Comes with infant padding so can use for newborn, Has great swinging motion so once swing is in motion it just uses it's own motion to keep the swing going in turn use less batteries than regular swings. Weight Limits 11 kg, sad it doesn't have a higher weight limit as my 5 month old bub is already 8 kg

A very nice little swing – So far this swing has been fairly useful to put baby in so I can have my hands free to do something else. It especially comes in handy when I am feeding my toddler dinner and cant hold baby at the same time. She has fallen asleep in it a couple of times as well. It has a nice quiet smooth operation, is fairly compact and has some cute little toys… Read more

which baby likes to look at, and some relaxing music which can be switched on and off as well as a timer. All in all a handy purchase. Very quiet operation, fairly compact, nice neutral colours which look good with home decor.

Good – Great product to put bubs in when he's cranky. Puts him to sleep easy, compared to other ones on the market, this is one of the best. Really sturdy with an extra "brace" at the back. Really nice lullaby sounds, quiet swinging motion. Looks really nice. No mirror for bubs to look at, only a small mobile which isnt much at all.

Can't live without it! – Recently brought the above swing for our 4th child as hes gotten to an age where he is dropping his late afternoon nap but is getting tired & cranky, during the dinner rush - this enables him to be in swing while i do jobs & usually he will have a power nap in it! Love it! It has so many features - swings/sways in different direction, different… Read more

volume range, different music choice, timer setting. Nice & comfortable for bubs, removeable toy tray. Need large area for it.

keeps baby occupied when we're busy – Originally we set out to purchase the Fisher Price my little lamb however when we got to the baby shop the swing was noisy and it could be heard over the instore music. The Sales Assistant even recommded we look at the Bright Starts swings to save us having to return the Fisher Price swing!! Anyway, my child fell asleep instantly in the my… Read more ·  1

little lamb swing however because of the noise factor we opted for the Bright Starts InGenuity "Shiloh style" cradle and swing from Babies R Us.

My son hasnt fallen asleep in the Bright Starts swing yet however it does keep him occupied while im trying to get house work done or give us a break from holding him. Quiet, Takes up abit of floor space but we knew this when purchasing but proceeded with purchase as the weight limit is to 11kg rather than 8-9kg like smaller swings, when assembling it there was a few black smudgy marks on it which i managed to remove with wipes
