Here is a short video demo from walmart


Here is Ty swinging in his Ingenuity swing. He seems to be enjoying it, he's not losing his mind or nothing, just chillin and being quiet, which i guess is good too.

There really should be a conformation page that comes up before an order is sent through.

I am very disappointed Woot, a KidsWootOff with no kitchen set for my little girl

Okay - this thing has HUGE footprint. My friend has it & it takes up 1/4 of he rliving room. My swing was big (they all are these days) but not like this one. The other thing is, this one does not come with a plug in adaptor & for me that is a huge no no. My 1st hated the swing so it could have been monkey powered for all it mattered, he never sat it in. My next one though loved it & we had another relaitve living her at the time with a baby as well. Thankfully my very engineery-minded Dh (making up words now) knows how to make a battery operated thing plug into out walls even if the manufacturer can't manage such a feet...so he rigged it to be able to plug in. Thank heavens. It is ridiculous to require mondo expensive batteries that won't just be lying around your junk drawer (think D's) that you may REALLY REALLY want at 4am when the baby is not happy & the swing is slowing wayyyy down. I don't want my batteries to last "twice as long" I want the option to never use a battery if I am not going to be moving it around the house anyway. Not many come as plug ins & most are the old fashioned looking ones that are for bigger babies & just go front to back. BUT if you look hard enough you can find cradle ones that rotate that DO plug in. Manufactureres shoudl ALWAYS make them set up for BOTH - in case of colic & power outages....for real people. It happens.

@beck12 I have this swing and mine came with a wall adapter, I'm wordering if it just isn't metioned in the description here on Woot, or if this is a slightly different model. I know when I was looking for swings I thought it was nice to have both options available. Hopefully we can get some clarification.

Very few of the large swings come with A/C adapters so we used rechargeable D batteries for ours. We had two full sets so one was always charging while the other was in use. They don't last as long as standard batteries but a lot cheaper & worked fine for our frequent swinger.

FWIW - I didn't think we needed a big swing, we have a small living area, but when I realized my kiddo would only stop screaming when swung side to side we purchased one similar to this. Despite the size, it was the only thing that allowed us to sleep for 3 months so totally worth it.

We already own one of these and we really like it. It is pretty big, but I feel it is stable. I would recommend buying this!!!

We got this one after our first broke. I had the same concern about batteries. We got the first one because it was one of the few that had an ac adapter.
However, even though it takes batteries, its smart in how they use the energy, so our batteries lasted about a year. We used it every day for a while. Could have lasted longer, but my kid wanted to start climbing instead of swinging.
It's also super quiet, no clicking or anything. Unless you decide to use the white sounds, but that's more desirable.
As far as the footprint, its no different than any of the others since you have to allow for the swing to go back and forth.

The side-to-side motion mimics womb motion for baby (as Mama walks). My first son (and therefore I) absolutely loved this swing, though in the 2002 version. Many times it was the only way to get him to sleep, and he would sleep so well I would actually have to wake him up to eat!

He actually was still using it when #2 came along and he didn't want to give it up!

Highly recommend these for all new parents, though disappointed in how much more they cost these days, even with inflation. Good item for the baby shower registry!

This Cradle & Sway Swing does not contain an AC adapter option.

Batteries only. It is powered by HybriDrive technology designed to utilize less battery energy to power it.

This thing is huge, we had it set up at my in-laws because there's no way it would fit anywhere in our apartment. It was nearly the size of their fireplace. We got it used from a friend who used it a couple months before, but after about a month of light use on our end it just stopped working. No clue why. It wasn't a big deal because our daughters didn't like it much and it wasn't used beyond a place to safely set an infant during a bathroom break or bottle prep, but still kind of disappointing.

(Edit: I do remember it being very quiet compared to the other swings we had at home though. Made me wish that it would've fit in our bedroom.)

we loved this swing at first. when our son got to be about 17 lbs the magnets were no longer close enough to actually power the swing motion.

I have this swing and I think it's great. I was concerned about it using batteries as opposed to power cord. But I've only had to change the batteries once and we are pretty much done using it. It met all expectations.

We had this swing (although it had slightly different stuffed animals) when my son was tiny--about a year and half ago. It worked really well and we never changed the batteries. We used it until he was about 5-6 months old. This is a great price on one of these full-sized swings. Ours was virtually silent too. Would totally pick this up if we didn't already have one.
