[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really wanted to love this swing, but unfortunately it falls short of a 5-star rating. My son was three months old when I received this swing (courtesy of the Stellar Product Testing Panel), and my only swing experience prior was with an eight year old hand-me-down swing from another brand. It has two speeds and two songs - the bar was set pretty low! I expected this new Graco swing to blow my old one out of the water. After a few weeks of use I found it did a great job of soothing my baby, but it is hard to look past some of the quality issues. It took me about two hours to fully assemble the swing, which was more challenging than I anticipated! When I first put my son in it, it was clear that the shoulder straps were far too short, even when adjusted to their longest setting. I could barely squeeze him in - and he's only 16 pounds! There was plenty of give with the waist straps though. The plastic buckle is also cheap and very hard to depress to release the harness. I needed my husband to come over and do it for me. I used the waist belt portion a few more times - thinking that the buckle would get “broken in” over time - but I still was unable to depress the button enough to release the harness. So I stopped using the harness entirely. I normally use a white noise machine when my baby is sleeping or taking a nap, so I was looking forward to all the songs and nature sounds this swing offered. The sound quality is extremely poor though, and makes the feature unusable. Sometimes when the vibration is on and swing is in motion there is a metallic buzzing noise, but I've figured out that there are certain settings where this doesn't happen so we can avoid it. The movement can also be a bit jerky, but baby doesn't seem to mind! The removable rocker is a great concept, but it's pretty heavy and cumbersome to take around the house. So I've primarily just used it as a swing. It is nice though that you can reposition it so baby can face different directions and sit in different reclining positions. The best thing about this swing is the great variety of motion settings and speeds. I love the depth and round shape of the swing because it feels like my baby is more secure, and it mimics the sensation of being held. Some of the movements are akin to you holding and rocking your baby, which is typically what my son wants and soothes him quickly. The cushion is nice and soft, and removable for easy cleaning. This swing does a great job of soothing my baby and lulling him to sleep. It is comfortable and has a wide range of motion settings to accommodate any baby. There are some quality issues, but at the end of the day I would recommend the Graco Soothe My Way Swing to anyone in the market for one.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this 2 months ago , its really nice . The best thing about it is that it has a great height . All other swings i saw were at a lower height . Also the seat is removable and taken with you as you go around the house.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had borrowed another Graco swing from a friend which we loved, but needed to return before our baby had outgrown it. We were thrilled when we were given the chance to test out this swing because we enjoyed the other one so much. We love this swing. First of all, assembly was easy, it took a few minutes to snap everything in place. The directions were easy to follow and no tools were necessary which is a huge plus for us. The size of the entire swing is compact which is great for us because we have limited space. It also makes it really easy to move it around as needed. The seat itself is very cozy with added padding. My baby is close to 6 months and still fir comfortably in the seat. I like that it has several reclining levels. We could put him in the upright position so he could check out what was going on, but still enjoy the motion. The motions itself are amazing. My husband described it as a home version of one of the quarter rides they used to have in the grocery store. So much fun! We tried all of them and there was not a motion he did not enjoy. We had endless smiles and giggles while he was strapped in. This was also the first swing we tried where our baby nearly fell asleep when getting close to nap. We had to scoop him out and put him in his crib before he totally fell asleep! Being able to detach the chair with one motion is a great feature. It made it so I could take the top part off and place it in the kitchen while getting dinner ready. It took away the need to use any other rocker, and for us, in our small space, less gear is always a win. The only cons are the mobile, it isn't very functional and the cute animals are hard to see from the baby vantage point. We tend to just swing it out of the way. The only feature that is missing is the option to put batteries in the base and not need to plug it in. If it had that then I would have given it a full 5 stars. Removing the plug would give it a little more flexibility. It would not prevent me from recommending it to others in the future though. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This rocker is seriously a life savor! My baby really likes to be held and rocked a lot. Once I got this, I was finally able to set him down and he was just as happy as if I was rocking him! It's been a huge help in allowing me to get time to get things done around the house and pay more attention to my 2 year old. The fabric is so incredibly soft and comfortable. He immediately had the biggest smile on his face when I set him down on it. I love all the different swing options as it switches things up for baby so he never gets bored or used to the same motion like a regular swing. He loves the vibration setting and looking at the mobile toys. So excited for my new rocker and looking forward to using this daily!! I am also expecting a third baby and cannot wait to use this right away once we bring the newborn home. I would like the cord to be a little longer as most of my outlets are behind furniture but was able to easily move things around to fit it nicely in the corner of our family room. Thank you Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me the opportunity to test this amazing rocker!

I love this swing! All of the options are the best feature of this swing. My son actually prefers to be in his swing more then being held. It really helps to calm him down for his little cat naps. I do work from home so it is nice to be able to pull the chair off and use it as a rocker. The only complaint I have, is that the swing now makes a loud screeching type noise. We've tried each of the different motion options. The noise is louder on some of the options and quieter on others. But, unfortunately the noise is present with all of the swing movements. We've only been using this swing for a little less than 4 weeks, so it is disappointing that this is happening already.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel, I was able to try the Graco Soothe My Way Swing Rocker with my 3mo daughter. I really love how compact this swing/rocker combo is; it fits in even the smallest space! The swing is well-made with soft fabric and a sturdy base, and my daughter seems very cozy in it - you can even adjust the recline position. It is also fantastic to be able to remove the rocker portion to take the baby with you when you're moving rooms. That said, my daughter wasn't as big of a fan of this compared with a traditional swing. This is a motorized movement, so it is not completely smooth or silent (it's pretty noisy when in motion). She likes it for little bits of time, but she loses interest quickly and has never fallen asleep in it (or even become drowsy).

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from Stellar Product Testing Panel in exchange for my honest review. These opinions are my own. My first impression of this swing was that it wasn't that cosmetically appealing but had a very small footprint and I liked the idea of that.The swing appeared to be very soft and comfortable. I placed my baby in the swing and turned it on, and he fell asleep very quickly, so clearly he enjoyed it. I liked that it had different motions because motions aren't a "one size fits all" per say with babies. I enjoyed that I could also add in music or sound to block out background noise to keep him asleep. What I really loved, is that when it was time for me to leave the room to go do laundry, I was able to lift my sleeping baby without disturbing him by my removing the removable rocker and bringing the rocker with baby in it to the other room with me. Love this feature and because of this, I highly recommend to all new parents.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the swing with removable rocker 2 months ago and it enchanted not only me but also my baby. What I like is that it is very comfortable and safe for my baby. Easy to assemble and it is seen that it is a quality product. I recommend the Swing with removable rocker 100%
