Boppy Rock In Comfort Travel Swing

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...Read more

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...Read more

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.
