The Zen Collection features soft fabrics in rich colors. | A Secure and Soothing Place for Your Infant
Yes, it's lovely to hold and cradle an infant in your arms -- but even the most dedicated parents need to put the baby down and take a break! This is why we love the idea of a baby swing; we've seen how they provide a comfortable, safe place for an infant, with soothing, rocking motions to help maintain a very important sense of security and calm. If you're familiar with older models of baby swings -- with their creaky mechanical noises and uncomfortable seats -- you should know that the Zen Collection swing definitely takes baby swings to another level. The swing's seat is designed for infants who cannot yet sit unassisted. Its basket shape provides security and support for the youngest babies, and it can be adjusted to sit the baby up or recline down. A plush seat cover, padded head support, and built-in cover keep baby comfortable. The swing seat can be positioned to move back and forth or from side to side, and it has a speed-control dial to allow for a variety of graduated speed settings. The swing is powered by battery or can be plugged in with the included adapter. It moves in a smooth, quiet motion with minimal mechanical noise. While baby is swinging, he can listen to one of 14 different soothing sounds with adjustable volume, including Muzak-esque remixes of classical favorites and unobtrusive nature sounds, like chirping birds and babbling brooks. Knowing parents will especially appreciate that the baby seat is removable and portable. So once baby falls asleep in the swing, you don't have to disturb him by removing him from the seat. Just lift the seat out of the swing to carry him with you to different rooms in your home. It's So Lovely!
A baby swing is not small -- it's basically a piece of furniture. So we're delighted to find that the Zen Collection swing offers a contemporary and sophisticated palette that can complement your home's decor without making your house look like one big nursery. You won't find any frills or pastel colors here. Its contemporary pattern features sprays of leaves and dragonfly silhouettes in stylish tones of cream, chocolate brown, and moss green with ruby-red accents. Its lovely textural touches include wood-finished handles, satin accents, and embroidered detailing on the cover, as well as on the mobile toys, which are cute and stylish. The toys include two plush dragonflies and a plush turtle, topped with matching umbrellas. It stands on a sturdy, dark brown, metal frame that's heavy enough to provide good support and security. Not only is this swing good looking, it also makes a great choice for unisex decorating. Easy Assembly, Sturdy Construction
The swing took us less than half an hour to assemble and required only a Phillips screwdriver. One minor problem: we had to re-thread the mobile so it could hang properly. The assembled swing has a 26-by-33-inch footprint and stands 47 inches tall with the mobile attached, so it takes up quite a bit of room. This is something to consider if you have limited living space. However, the base folds together easily, so you can lean it against a wall when it's not in use. What's in the Box
Removable infant seat, mobile, swing motor, swing frame components for assembly.

 Great Swing! July 8, 2008

I received this swing as a baby gift for our little boy due in September. My mom purchased it for me because I was looking for a different looking swing then I see everywhere, and that everyone I know with kids has.
I put this together myself last weekend (7.5mos pregnant), and had NO problems! It seemed overwhelming at first, with all of the pieces, but it went together great!
I do agree that the styrofoam paddings for the swing part, that have a no scissor sign on it, is confusing...I accidently cut them off at first, but they were super easy to just tape back on.
I love that this swing can swing both ways, and that you can take the swing part out and it is a seat that you can carry around. I also love the colors!!! The only thing is...with me having a boy, I thought the maroon bow on top of the blanket looked a little girlie, but my mom was able to unstich it very easily and you can't even tell!
I give this swing great reviews, and for anyone who is looking for a different type of swing then everyone else has, this is a great choice!!!

We love this swing. It is the only place our daughter will take a nap. It moves easily from room to room. The rotational seat is also a big hit. Some days she likes the side to side swinging motion and other days the front to back. The A/C adapter is excellent. The last swing we had for our son ate up batteries.
Phenomenal Swing! September 23, 2008

I am so glad that we spent the extra money and bought this swing. I put this swing together in about 30 min while I was 35 weeks pregnant and on modified bed rest. It was a cinch, and the directions were self explanatory. I never had the slightest problem.
The design and color of this swing is a perfect match for our homes decor and paint. The swing itself feels sturdy and comfortable. The cover comes off easily to wash and the mobile is just enough to keep baby entertained but not restrict the view for him to look else where and for us to see him. The seat comes off so easily and turns directions without any effort. It is so easy to place the seat back on the swing, no need to jostle baby around. I was very pleasantly surprised how high the seat actually sits up off the floor when not on the swing. It is almost chair or couch height which is perfect. It is also good if you have pets walking around. All in all we are so pleased with this swing. If I had to pick one thing that would make it better, would be the music is a little low at full volume, but considering the rest of the perks. I can live with that.
Update on swing since our son arrived:
I can't say enough about this swing, it is literally worth it's weight in gold to us. Our son is 2.5 weeks old and he has slept in the seat since he came home from the hospital. He LOVES it! I can take him anywhere with out waking him and he sleeps like a rock in it. He hates to be swaddled so this swing gives him the snuggled feeling that makes most babies sleep well but keeps his arms free like he wants. He is in the seat or swinging day and night. Our pediatrician told us while they are newborns that whatever makes them sleep and is safe to let them sleep there, so this will be our most used item for a while since he is not very comfy in his crib or playard yet.
He loves to swing also. It's nice that it rocks both ways. The cover on the seat is so soft and the blanket on it is very nice to have. It comes off and washes in a cinch. The music if very nice a soothing, however I do wish it would go a little louder.
This swing was by far our best purchase for our son!
THE BEST September 26, 2008
Misty Anderson (Iowa)
This swing is even more beautiful in person! I have not seen another like it. Very sleek, mod, contemporary look. We have this set up in our living room. Music is wonderful, friends & family that have seen it have made the comment that they wouldn't mind coming over to nap at our house with the soothing music! We love that we can use batteries OR that it can be plugged in to an outlet. Save buying batteries! The front to back or side to side swinging motion is wonderful. I love that you can remove the whole seat once baby has fallen asleep and move it to another room with you. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!
The directions do not show the strap while assembling this swing -- it goes in the BACK. Much less hassle if you don't have to try and rub out the warnings with acetone later if you snap it in wrong. Easy to put together too. I did it myself at 35 weeks.
I love it and baby loves it too October 13, 2008

The swing is great, I really love the colors and of course there could be a few improvements, but nothing I can't do myself to make it more unique. My baby loves it and naps in it really well. So, the mobile doesn't move, but you can really add some things on it to make it more interesting like some reflective stickers on the underside of the cone-shaped plastic pieces. Just having something that you can plug in and something comfy for your kid and does not make your living space look like a playpen is totally worth it for me. I would recommend sewing on a snap, tie or velcro to keep the kimono like cover closed b/c before I did that my baby did kick it up over his face which could be a safety issue. I just took a bib clip and clip the top cover snugly to the side handle so it doesn't budge and I put the babies arms on top of the cover. It's easily remedied. The music selection is great and I've noticed that if you keep it plugged in, the music does not stop like it says that it does after 20 minutes, which doesn't bother me a bit.
Great buy, even my husband agrees now, even though he didn't like the price in the beginning
