Ingenuity InLighten Soothing Swing - Swivel Infant Seat, Soothing Sounds, Lightweight Mesh - Dakota

This swing has worked really well for our baby. The five speed options and rotating seat help keep things comfortable and interesting. The sounds and soft lights are calming, and the Nally Owl design is really cute. It feels safe thanks to the five-point harness, and it’s easy to use and assemble. A solid choice for helping babies relax or nap during the day.

Purchased for our newborn. The swing itself is well made. Easy to put together. The swing material is soft and we like the neutral soothing color. The swing has a pretty steady rock with 5 levels. It’s pretty cool that you can move the seat in any direction around, so it can swing side to side (left to right), or front to back. The swing can be pushed too, rather than turning it on. We also like the light up mobile thing that spins around too, baby now stares as coos at it. And lastly we love how sturdy it is- our toddler will lean up against it and it doesn't budge.

Super easy to put together! I love how many different types of things it does! The swing having multiple different positions is great to! My newborn like it! But I love it! With a toddler and a newborn this saves my life everyday with getting dishes done or whatever else I might need to do

I personally don’t know how it works as it was a gift for a baby shower. It was picked out online by my niece for her upcoming childbirth.

If I could rate 4.5 stars I would. The only annoying thing is that even when the timer is on for 60 or 90 minutes, the music will cut off after about 20-30 minutes. (The light and swing keep going.) Even more annoying is when you try to turn the music back on to keep baby asleep, it doesn’t start back on the song/sound that it was on before. So if you were playing a soothing lullaby before and it kicks off, when you turn it back on, it might be a louder song or white noise, some sounds are louder than others. So instead we often use the hatch portable sound machine with this because it never kicks off unless the battery dies, and turns on the same sound you left off. Other than that! This is a good quality swing. Would definitely recommend for a newborn. Our baby loves the spinny light part. She is very alert and gets bored easy. A little difficult to put together some of the pieces look too similar in the instructions and it took the two of us about an hour to put together.

Love this swing over all. Very easy to assemble (though I would try to have it put together before baby comes - newborn already here + toddler + single mom made it a challenge 😅). Two things I really don't like: This newer model's cover cannot be removed by simply unbuckling the straps. You also have to unscrew the bar on one side to slide the sewn-on loops off. (It's the one where the incline/recline lever is). It's not incredible hard, but you will need a small Phillips head screwdriver, and it's just an added pain for an already very busy parent.The second thing I do not like is that on the frame of the swing, there is an area of the cord you plug together during assembly. My toddler loves to unplug it over and over again and again. I wish snapped into place or at least had a cover so she wouldn't be able to mess with it so easily.Other than that, my baby loves it, the quality over all is great, and I love the look of it with the cool, neutral colors.

I bought one in 2020 but sold it (I wish I didn't, still kicking myself for it since we loved it!). Having a new baby soon and wanted to purchase a similar swing from the same manufacturer. Unfortunately thus time, quality seems to have gone out the window?First, the common issue with the one I bought in 2020 and now in 2024 is the recline option. It *says* you can recline but the fabric is so tight that it feels like you are literally going to either break the swing or the fabric. But whatever, you're not supposed to let your baby sleep in this so it's fine.Next, though, is an issue with just this swing (not the one I bought in 2020). It's SO high off the ground and so close to the top. It looks nothing like the one in 2020 nor the manufacturer's pictures here. It's right up close and personal to the stuffed animals hanging from the top and the lights. It's like the metal is pushed up towards the top way closer than it should. I looked at recent reviews and all the negative reviews say the same thing - too high and the animals can literally brush against the baby's face. I don't know what exactly happened the last 7 months or so but the quality control team must have been fired completely? Either that or the company decided to make a design decision without disclosing it which is very misleading to consumers.Considering returning it but taking it apart would be a huge hassle. Had I known that this was going to look like this and nothing like the pictures as advertised, I would have not bought it. Unfortunate since I spent almost $200 for it.

It’s been 6 months and it worked reliably for me
