Bright Starts Swing Anywhere Reviews
Pros: This one goes together easily. It folds up very simply and pops right back into place for using. At 16 lbs. it rocks my daughter gently with two power options left for her growth. The seat is angled nicely so that she sits up enough to see the toy bar but reclines enough to fall asleep. The straps are engineered nicely to hold her in place. The buckle is simple, easy on the fingers, and has a nice cloth cover. The music is groovy, soothing, and just the right volume. It is lightweight. It is colorful and fun.
Cons: When folded it is 23″x27″x9″. We use duffels when flying for extended periods. At 27″ on one side, this will not easily fit in a standard sized duffel and maintain the duffel’s shape. For new parents: my experience is that if the swing is angled into a duffel so that the edges are the widest protrusion of the bag (even with clothing, etc. packed around it to fill the bag,) damage will occur to the protruding part of the swing during transport to, from, and within the plane. Be aware of this if a swing is essential to your baby’s sanity (and yours) during your trip. Tip: We have a padded car seat backpack and it would fit in there pretty well if you’re willing to pack your clothes in that. Sure, its not chic and its not comfortable to carry, but it is an option.
It would be great for going to Grandmother’s or Hilton Head in the SUV with only 4 seats up, but it will not fit in the trunk of a sedan with a full size stroller, luggage for four, and all the other stuff. For a sedan, it will probably have to go behind the front seats.
This product is amazing. It folds up very easily and is pretty compact for taking it in the car. The swing has an automatic shutoff to save battery life, which is nice because my kids don’t have to constantly swing. The only issue I had with it is the nob to adjust the speed is a little tough to turn, but other than that I couldn’t ask for much more. My sons are 15 lbs and it swings easily on any setting, slow or fast. Very quiet as well, I don’t ever hear it compared to my other swing which clicks when it swings out.
