Baby Products Reviews of Boppy Rock in Comfort SwingCustomer Review: LOVED This swing, but it won't last!! Summary: 1 Stars
Yes, I would still recommend this to a friend, but I would DEFINITELY get the extended warranty!!! It seems almost inevitable that it will break. Although that's rather depressing, I still feel that I got my money's worth- I just really REALLY wish it were better construction so it would last for more than one child.
I LOVED THIS SWING! It was quiet, it was smooth, the music was pleasant. The batteries lasted rather well.
Why then only one star?
PROBLEMS:
1. If the swing is not level, the motor won't work. So if it's tilted to the left or right (when looking at the baby) it won't swing.
2. The battery compartment is difficult to open and close properly. If one isn't careful, even if the screw is in tightly, the batteries will fall out.
3. The toy bar is quickly destroyed by older siblings and can fall on the infant at a light touch. The toys are irrelevant, too high for the baby to grab.
4. The seat folds in half (for travel), but this has some people thinking that the second seat position is with the seat folded or half open. There are buttons on the side that go from reclining to laying down. There's not a real "sitting up" option.
5. The motor burns out EASILY! I had to chase people away from the swing (difficult with toddlers who love their baby sister!) as any consistent resistance against the motor burns it out. I've had two, and the first one burned out after only 2 months, the second after 7 months of use.
6. Can't tell when the "lock" is on, which is a problem because it seems either the motor is burned out, the batteries are dying, or makes one think the swing doesn't work. Just double check to make sure it isn't pushed in! This will also wear out your motor.
7. Dial to turn on the swing is in an awkward position, difficult to tell if it's on and how fast (especially once auto shut-off kicks in), and it's hard to turn.
I loved the look, I loved the portability, and I loved how much my babies loved being in the swing. I loved the neutral coloring, and that it was perfectly machine washable (great for those diaper blow-outs).
I just wish they would build a better motor, let you see how much time is left before auto shut-off, have a better way to indicate the lock is pushed in, let it work on uneven floors. I'm ok with chasing the kids away from the swing- it's a smart thing to do anyway. Folding flatter would also be appreciated.
*stronger motor that doesn't burn out!!!
*indicator that lock is in
*count-down to auto shut-off (indicated in minute increments)
*when swing is folded, having some locking mechanism for the legs (the frequently would slide open when moving the swing)
*better toy bar (lighter in construction, and screwed-in on one side with swing open to other instead of tilt back- that's when bar falls onto the baby's head)
*dial on the side is difficult to turn, or to see how fast it's dialed to.
