Close to perfect, if not perfect.
Background: Baby is at 99% for height and weight, and grandpa wanted a swing (and tub, and bottles, and crib, and...) kept here so I can babysit as often as I get the chance. Thus I wanted a well-respected rocker/swing for what might become a pretty big infant. This one is rated for 30lbs and seems well loved by parents.Pro's:1) It's his kryptonite. He can't stay awake in it if I sit by him, kick on the rain or the heartbeat background sounds, and set the swing on #2.2) I really like the removable rocker. It's simply way convenient.3) Shut it all off and he's at a great height for talking with or playing with while I'm in a kitchen chair.Cons:1) It's kinda heavy. I don't care, but grandma is not grooving on the weight. And the rocker with junior in it is closing in on too heavy.2) 34" wide at the base (front)? Are you kidding me? And disassembly means screwing with the wiring disconnects? (which are poorly thought out, but a non-issue for a one-time assembly. Just carefully tuck in the excess before assembling. You'll see what I mean when you get there).Since the unit makes no pretense of being portable is there some compelling reason Graco didn't just make the width adjustable? Or narrow it a bit and weight the base? Or....?If you narrow the front base bar by 2.75" by cutting the front cross leg and re-drill the interconnect holes it fits through larger doors with only a mild wiggle of the base. The little plastic front bar connector is slightly off-center, but that's cosmetic. Nobody in the family has every noticed, and it's plenty stable.Updated after 6 years:3 babies later and this thing is all of their kryptonite. "Take him/her to grandpas house" seems to get muttered a lot when infants aren't sleeping well and mom wants to sleep. Thoughts:1) Thank goodness for the AC adapter.2) Are some of you reviewers trying to send your kids into orbit? How fast are you going? You're trying to mimic moms natural movement, not a carnival ride. Unless there are blankets dragging on the ground I've never even been close to full power/speed. And these kids are 90% plus in height and weight.3) We use the removable swing more than expected. It's great to pull the rocker out and set baby by the dinner table.4) It's super stable fore to aft, and the swing rotates as you want, so no reason to not have the base facing the most table direction.5) I run rechargable hi-capacity batteries in the vibrating base. Not that I use it much, but once in a while, say a sick baby cranky baby, it's helpful.6) The reclinable seat has been nice too. Up for baby to look around, down for sleeping.We're at 5 3/4 grandkids now, and I've still to see a sleeper/swing that kids fall asleep in as well. (don't let them sleep over-night in one, or even for extended periods).

Best money I've ever spent!
I had to be talked out of purchasing higher dollar swings, as baby grows out of them pretty quickly. I ended up purchasing this one for my grandson and couldn't be more pleased. Best. Purchase. Ever.The vibration instantly calms him and the swinging mixed with vibration will usually have him asleep within a minute even when he is Vilosoraptor screeching/screaming when I put him in. If one direction doesn't soothe him quickly, I can easily flip him around to swing the other way with a simple push of a button and a quick twist. His mother has the same chair except it doesn't change swing direction or pull off to use as a manual rocker. She loves hers as well.The chair's adjustable/reclining seat lays almost flat so newborn baby can safely take a nap, and while I haven't used it in higher positions yet, I have no doubt that will be a useful feature as he grows.Since I only bring out the swing on weekends when I have my grandson, the ability to remove the swing and just carry the very lightweight frame helps tremendously with maneuvering it out of the nursery, down the hall and into the living room. It's wide, so being able to move it sideways around the door frame is very helpful. Were the swing permanently affixed to the frame, moving it would be very difficult.I also love the battery /plug in options. If I need to use the chair somewhere I don't have access to an outlet, the batteries are ready to go. I wish I could run the vibration feature on electricity, but I can see why that wouldn't be practical, moving parts and all. The white noise /music feature is another thing I love about this swing. The gentle sounds of the swing rocking are very calming, but adding that bit of white noise makes it hard for even the adults around to stay awake listening to it.I say at least once a weekend "that swing was the best money I've ever spent!".... When baby is overtired and holding him, rocking him, singing, etc. doesn't work, the swing does, and quickly. It's wonderful....and for a third of the price of the ones I was looking at before friends talked some sense into me.

Great buy
So easy to put together! Very stable ! Putting our newborn baby in this swing was super easy. She fell asleep in it many times. The bears were great, we often found her staring at them for a long while. As she got older she would reach for the bears, so we took them off for her to play with. She still plays with the bears at 9 months old. The swing wasn’t too rough. The music was perfect. She used this swing intel she was 6months old and weighed 22pounds. The support it gave her head wasn’t much as a newborn with no mobility. So we stuffed blankets underneath the head support to keep her head from moving around too much. But that’s with most things when you have a baby a month earlier than the due date.
