Customer Reviews of Whisper Quiet Swing- Portofino

First of all, I am a total dummy when it comes to following directions! So, I loved that there were both picture and written directions. I didn't need to read a word, I just followed the pictures and had it together in little more than half an hour. Sooooo simple!

Second, the little prong that was mentioned to have hurt someone's baby's legs does serve a purpose. It is a stabalizer for the latch and if the seat pad is put on properly, it covers the prong so that it doesn't protrude.

Also, I think the timer is great. With our old swing we would have to sneak over to it, and as quietly as possible turn off the swing when our son fell asleep in it. It wastes batteries if you have them swinging in it for hours at a time.

As for the music, I really find it hard to believe that a newborn knows the difference between high definition and low quality sound. I think they are happy with whatever you give them and we didn't have a problem with the music quality.

The toys and mobile are added bonuses. They can keep baby occupied longer than the swings without them, and they are just plain cute. First time parents might not get it, but second timers like us can definitely see and appreciate the little extra's this swing offers. I would recommend it to friends.

Great toys, poor design
I bought this swing because I love the colorful toys, which also fit in my Evenflo high chair with the same Portofino pattern. My son LOVES those toys.

The worst part of this swing is the tray latch, which is so extremely poorly designed. It pops open constantly. When I called the Evenflo people to determine what I was doing wrong, they insisted that there was not a problem. Surely if they can put a good locking mechanism on the high chair and strollers, they can do it on the swing, too. But they didn't. As a result, I cannot leave my son unattended for even a minute because the darn tray will open.

As for the reviewers who complained about the swing needing to be pushed all the time, it is important to remember that the numbered dial is NOT a speed indicator- you must turn it to the appropriate notch based on the child's weight, where it finds equilibrium. In essence, it has only one speed (which I don't mind), but you have to use the right setting based on the child's weight.

Finally, I also have a problem with my 5 month old son being too wide for the seat. He is in the 50th percentile for weight, and is definately not chubby or wide, but he barely fits in the swing anymore.

great swing
We bought this swing for my daughter. It works great. It is very quiet. We have not had any problems with it. It did take me a few times to get used to using the settings-since it is based on the childs weight. My daughter is tall and she fits in the swing with no problem. She loves the mobile.
