This swing was a gift for our new baby. Pros: able to swing side-to-side and head-to-toe, 6 speeds to choose from, deep seat with 5-point harness and can be powered by battery or plug-in. Cons: this swing is LOUD- god forbid you touch the swing while it is swinging because it will make a grinding noise, not to mention it's very loud when "powering up", not ideal when you may have a sleeping baby. Forget about turning on the rotating owls, if you didn't have a headache prior than you will after. As well, it states it is portable and easy to move from room to room- definitely not, this swing is heavy! I returned it to Walmart because I assumed something was wrong with it but the second one had all the same problems. But it was fairly easy to put together!
