kmaier Electric Baby Swing With 5 Speeds

The swing itself is amazing. Swings smoothly and puts my baby to sleep quick. My baby loves the inbuilt music that comes with the swings. Tons of sound options to choose from. Great value for the money.

This product is perfect, it does everything. We couldnt parent without it . It’s comfy easy to put together and sturdy. Safe and not an eye sore.

When we first put my baby on this It was amazing but not long into the same day we received the swing, It stopped swinging. We keep trying to figure out what’s wrong with It but it’ll swing for a little then completely stop 🙁 not only that, but the remote was also missing

Update: wanted to update my review. I ended up replacing the swing and got a new one and it’s already noticeably better and more sturdy. I can tell the first one was something with the connection to the base. Something must’ve been off or loose where It didn’t connect properly, thus causing the swing to not work. Glad I replaced It, my baby definitely loves It! And the remote came with this one thankfully!

 I would rate this swing right now at a solid 3.5 for the money (about 80 dollars). We have the ****roo at home and purchased this one for grandma’s house, and my review references some differences between this one and the one we have at home that may be helpful for others. The version of this swing I purchased (seen in my photo and video) has a black base, and if you look at all the positive reviews, you’ll see that the majority if not all of them with photos are for swings with a gray base that is a completely different shape. I purchased the swing based on the seller’s picture, so I got the swing I was expecting. However the positive 5-star reviews for the grey base swing are not necessarily matching my experience with the new version I purchased. The fact that the reviews are almost all for a different version escaped me when purchasing. Pros: 1) incredibly easy to put together! Love the inclusion of the wrench to tighten the screws since we shipped this to grandmas and didn’t know what tools would be available. Set up in under 10 minutes. 2) cover is washable. If you’re a first time parent, trust me, it’s worth paying a little more for things to be *easily* washable. 3) swing has multiple incline positions, which is really helpful if you have a baby with colic or acid reflux like we do. This is something that IMO is superior to our swing at home. The reason is that this swing’s incline is increased by essentially “folding” the swing forward by hinges at the center of the swing, moving the baby’s back and head forward into an assisted sit. This feature is of course NOT for infants or babies who aren’t already getting into this position by their own power, so little tiny newborns would probably be better off in the ****roo, which is egg-shaped and the entire “egg” is made to recline back or further forward. Essentially, this swing changes the entire position of the baby from flat to assisted sit if desired whereas the other really just changes the incline. 4) the motion of the swing is gentle and fluid and it’s a nice bonus that it comes programmed with a few lullabies. 5) it is QUIET. The swing we have at home has a louder motor sound. It actually kind of irritates me. This swing is extremely quiet. This swing sounds like a gentle breeze and the ****roo sounds like a cyclone in comparison. Event though both swings are quiet this one is way quieter. 6) the safety harness is 5 point, not 3 which is what we have on our ****roo at home, and honestly, this is my favorite feature of the swing. My son in the photo is 3.5 months old and just under 15 pounds, and he is already rolling and sitting up almost unassisted, which is not common for his age but every baby is different. The 5 point harness keeps him safe and in this respect, the swing is far superior 7) LOVE the canopy and netting to use outside … but that brings me to my “cons.” Cons: 1) the swing is supposed to be able to be cord free with the use of 4 AAA batteries. This was an important feature along with the netting because I wanted to take the swing out on the covered deck while we were outside. So far, the swing has NOT worked on the batteries. When I put the batteries in, I had to force a couple into the compartment. It was like the compartment was just a little bit too small, and I’m thinking maybe it’s a manufacturing defect. IF this swing could actually work on batteries, I’d give it 4 to 4.5 stars. 2) the swing does not have much variation in speed and no variation in the type of movement, which will not work for some babies. 3) the netting doesn’t stay up well unless you are going to actually create the “bug shield” and pull it over the bottom of the swing.

Overall a good swing, but would be great if the battery compartment was actually operational and you could use the swing without an outlet or power bank. That was the unique feature that caused me to purchase this swing over others, and unfortunately it doesn’t work. Otherwise my son loves the swing.
