Excellent Portable Swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I couldn’t be happier with this swing I received from the Stellar product testing panel - and so does my baby! It was very easy to put together and took me all of five minutes. It’s super lightweight and, my favorite part - ITS PORTABLE! As a mom of 3, I love being able to take this outside to watch my older children play while my newborn has a place to sleep other than my arms. It folds up nicely to take on the go or to visit family. The ability to fold up and put away when not in use would also work so well for family’s with small spaces. Even when in use, it takes up a fairly small amount of space, especially when compared to other swings on the market. I was unsure my newborn would fit in it well at just a month old and just under 9 pounds. The swing fit her perfectly and sits at such an angle that I don’t have to worry about her head falling over or her body slouching down. It’s the perfect little nest for tiny babies and she slept so peacefully in it. The swing speed is very easy to change and the swing motor is surprisingly quiet. If you’re lookin for a comfortable, quiet, portable, compact swing, this one is definitely a 10 out of 10!

Great compact swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very simple, compact swing perfect for when you don’t want something that takes up loads of space. My little Velcro baby will swing in it contendedly allowing me to put him down for a bit. I do wish there was a power supply to plug into the wall and not just batteries as batteries can get expensive and if they run out I’m out of luck. We are using this swing with our fourth baby. We appreciate very much that it is small when opened and can be folded when not in use to make space for the other kids. The swing speeds offer a great variety of options for when baby needs more or less stimulation. I also like that I can add in more toys to the toy bar for more interesting visual stimuli as the toys on it are very neutral. It would be better if they had more contrast or brighter colors or even reflecting mirrors or something. They are also a little high for the visual field of the baby. I love the fabric and neutral colors. It fits right into our home. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing to use with my baby!

GET THE SWING
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Was this swing on my initial baby registry? No. Should this swing have been on my registry? YES. I received this product as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel and I wish they sent it to me months ago! I love it, my baby loves it, and it fits in my cluttered house easily. Pros-It took me less than 20 minutes to put together with super simple instructions. My baby fits super comfortably in it and the buckles are very secure but easy to clip together. Its no bigger than her regular bouncer chair. The above handle and attached plush toys make it simple and easy to add additional toys to the bar (my baby's favorite is when I clip her long teether to the plush star string). The speed has a lot of variation and is easy to set. Most importantly I CAN PICK IT UP AND MOVE IT FROM ROOM TO ROOM WITH ONE HAND WHILE HOLDING MY BABY. IT IS SO LIGHT I CAN MOVE IT ONE HANDED! As a new mom, that is one of the biggest pluses. Cons-If I can find one I'll let you all know. So far this is a 10/10 product. Happy mom, happy baby. *The octopus toy in my picture is not part of the swing, but is another toy that I attached to the existing dangling star.

Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The graco slim swing is an amazing option for those in tight spaces! We are in an apartment so our biggest issue is gear that fits and can easily be put away. This folds up super easily for when its not in use, and can be stored behind furniture or in a closet easily. The swing it self is also nice- it has a couple of speeds, which for my son who likes alot of movement seemed to enjoy. there was also a vibration setting and music, which is a nice feature. My son is on the longer side (98% length at 4 months), and it does seem that he would outgrow it in the next month or so. Thank you to stellar Review Panel for the swing!

Most Versatile
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a working mom balancing a newborn and a laptop, the Graco Slim Spaces Swing has been one of the most practical baby items in our home. My favorite feature, hands down, is how easy it is to fold and unfold with one hand. I can collapse it or pop it back open while holding my baby, which feels like a small miracle during a busy workday. When I’m done, the slim fold and built-in carry handle make it easy to slide right under my desk, perfect for small-space living and keeping my office from feeling like a nursery exploded in it. I also appreciate that the fabrics are made from 100% recycled materials; comfort and sustainability can go hand in hand. The insert was very easy to remove and clean, even after a major blowout. It washed well, though I did notice the cover separated slightly from the foam padding after laundering. It’s a minor downside that doesn't detract from my 5-star experience, but worth noting. Overall, this swing hits the sweet spot for portability, safety, and real-life functionality. For working parents, apartment dwellers, or anyone short on space, it’s the best solution on the market and I'm glad to have had the chance to try out this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Super compact and lightweight swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing. The Graco Slim Spaces Swing is a great choice if you’re tight on space but still want a reliable, full-featured swing. Its slim, compact design makes a noticeable difference—it fits easily into smaller rooms or corners without taking over the space, and it’s lightweight enough to move around when needed. It also folds down nicely, which is a big plus for storage or travel. Despite its smaller footprint, it doesn’t feel flimsy at all. The build is sturdy, and the seat is cozy and supportive. The gentle swinging motion is smooth and calming, and baby seems genuinely relaxed while using it—often content just sitting and swaying for a good stretch. Overall, it strikes a great balance between practicality and comfort, making it a solid pick for everyday use in a smaller home.

The Space Saving Design is Great
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this swing from the Stellar Product Testing Panel. This swing is great! I love that it swings front to back unlike the other swings on the market today, and the colors are also very cute. BUT my favorite part is that it folds up (and super easily!) You can move it anywhere!! It runs on batteries so no need for a plug in! We loved using it outside in the shade! The ONLY reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it doesn't stand on it's own when folded, so that can be a little inconvenient when looking for somewhere to place it while not in use. But other than that, no complaints!! Would recommend forsure!!

Terrible swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was SO excited to receive this Graco swing at my baby shower. It was one of the items I was most looking forward to using when we finally brought our baby home from the NICU. I had heard such great things and truly loved it when we first opened it and set it up. Fast forward to the day we finally get home with our baby emotional, exhausted, and just wanting something that would soothe her and the swing won’t even turn on. Nothing. No power, no movement, no lights. Completely dead. Which was super disappointing since she loved the swing that was in the NICU. After everything we went through in the NICU, the last thing we needed was a brand-new product failing right when we needed it most. We tried different outlets, checked batteries, made sure everything was assembled correctly and still nothing. It’s incredibly disappointing that something so expensive and highly recommended stopped working before we could even really use it. A baby product, especially one meant to comfort newborns, should be reliable. This was not. This has been beyond frustrating and heartbreaking.

Amazing swing for small spaces
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this swing to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall I am so happy with it! As a mom of three who lives in a small home, the size, portability and ability to quickly fold this swing have made it my favorite swing I have ever used. Floor space is hard to come by in our home, so I had planned to skip a swing for this baby until I received this one. I am so happy I did! My baby is very comfortable in his swing and it has been great to have a portable space to put him down off of the floor. The assembly was very simple and it is easy to operate. I have really enjoyed being able to quickly and easily move this swing room to room as I follow my other kids around, or even fit it easily in the back of the car to go to grandparents’ or friends’ houses. Compared to other swings, I would say this one has less bells and whistles (no sound, can’t change direction of the swinging etc) but I don’t think those things are always necessary and for me the portability outweighs those benefits. I will note that my baby is on the smaller side, and he fits perfectly in the seat but a friend with a larger baby used it at our house and he did not fit in the straps as well. I would definitely recommend this swing to others who are looking for something that they can bring anywhere and is super functional. It would also be amazing to keep at a grandparent’s or babysitter’s house since it stores so easily. I am so glad I received it!

Great Compact and Portable Swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was sent this swing to review by the Stellar Product Testing Panel, but all opinions are my own. We haven’t had the swing very long but I see myself using it for as long as my son will fit into it. It’s pretty easy to assemble and we were using it pretty much right out of the box, aside from the fact that my husband had to run out to get the required D batteries. Something I think would make this swing even better in terms of how it’s powered is to have a rechargeable battery or an optional power cord, along with the ability to place batteries in the swing. This way, if the batteries run out, you’re not having to go out to get more just to be able to use the swing. That said, this swing is SUPER portable and easy to store away because it folds up really compact. We live in a four story town home and when I wanted to put my son in the swing so he could be with me while I cooked up in the kitchen or worked down in our office, it was no problem to carry both him in one hand and the swing in the other. I also appreciate that you can open it with one hand. We reach for this often when we need somewhere to put baby boy that makes him feel included. I’ve also considered folding it up and putting it in the back of the car when we go to his grandparents because it’s that easy to transport! I do wish that the straps used to hold the baby in the swing were a little more high quality. The first time I put my son in the swing, I could not for the life of me get him out of the straps because they wouldn’t unbuckle. I thought I was going to have to cut him out of it, but thankfully my husband was able to get the latch open. Every time we strapped him in after that, it got easier to open the latch, but that is something that concerned me initially. I love the color of the swing we got (it’s like a neutral greige color)! It blends in really easily when it’s packed away and isn’t an eyesore when it’s open and being used. I will say though that the stars were a little too high up and not high contrast enough for my son to notice them, so that part of the swing doesn’t get much “use”. I also really love that you can fine tune the speed of the swing and when it’s running it’s really quiet. My son really enjoys being in the swing when it’s on a lower setting and he’s fallen asleep in it multiple times (supervised, of course!) which is not normal for him. He’s a velcro baby and rarely falls asleep anywhere but on me, so this was a delightful surprise! Overall, I would recommend this swing for parents looking for something light and compact and easy to travel with, especially if you’ve got a baby that likes to be with you wherever you go and carrying them isn’t always an option. It’s easy to put together, it’s got a small footprint, can be put away with little to no effort, can be used on the go, and it’s really cute!

Great for Small Spaces and Newborns
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of a very chunky, very opinionated 6-month-old, I wanted to love this swing for longer than we did — but I’ll share our honest experience. I received the product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. Overall, my impression of the Graco Slim Spaces Swing is that it’s thoughtfully designed for small homes and the newborn phase. We live in a house where baby gear seems to multiply overnight, so the slim frame and compact fold were a huge win for us. I loved that I could tuck it against the wall in our living room or carry it into the kitchen while I made coffee. It doesn’t dominate the room the way some larger swings do, which I really appreciated. When my daughter was younger (around 1–3 months), she responded really well to it. She’d relax into the seat, stare at the little mobile, and let the gentle sway calm her down while I folded laundry or answered emails. It gave me those precious 10-15 minute windows to breathe. The adjustable swing speeds were helpful too — I could bump it up slightly when she was fussier, and that often did the trick. Now that she’s 6 months old and built like a tiny linebacker with delicious thigh rolls, it’s a bit of a different story. She’s bigger and much more interested in sitting upright and seeing the world. In this swing, she feels a little snug and would rather lean forward and try to sit up than recline and sway. She doesn’t dislike it, but she’s clearly outgrowing it developmentally. I can definitely see this being ideal closer to the newborn stage rather than for older, chunkier babies who want more independence.

Graco Compact Swing Review
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have acquired this baby swing through Steller Product Review Panel and it is fabulous. It is perfect for travel and storing away in small spaces. It is battery powered so there is no need for cords or finding an outlet. My baby LOVED being in this swing. She loves the back and forth motion of it and she fits in it comfortably. The fabric is comfy and the adjustable speed dial is convenient. We too it on a family vacation and it fit nicely in the car without taking up too much space. I do have a swing at home in our living room but I wish we would have only bought this one because it is easy to put away when not in use! I highly recommend this swing!!

Perfect FIt
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this Graco infant swing through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I was excited to try out its slim, compact design. Overall, I thought this swing was a solid option—especially if you’re looking for something that doesn’t take up a lot of space. It’s not the best swing I’ve ever used, but it’s a nice choice for smaller areas or for families who need something more compact. The frame felt slightly less sturdy than some of the larger swings I’ve owned, but it still functioned well for everyday use. My baby really enjoyed being in the swing. She seemed relaxed and content, and it quickly became a comfortable spot for her to hang out during the day. That alone made it a win for us. One of my favorite features was the slim frame and portability. It fit seamlessly into our home and was easy to move from room to room, which made it simple to keep my baby nearby while I got things done. I do wish it had the option to plug into an outlet instead of running solely on batteries—that would have made it even more convenient for daily use. The built-in mobile was cute and visually appealing, though it didn’t seem especially engaging for my baby. The recycled fabrics felt soft and clean, which I appreciated, and the adjustable swing speeds were a great feature. I liked being able to customize the motion depending on what my baby needed at the time. Overall, this swing is a good, space-saving option that worked well for our family, especially for keeping our baby calm and comfortable throughout the day.

Great practical and safe swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First, I love the look of this baby swing, it is neutral and soft and doesn’t make our bedroom look cluttered. My three month old has been comfortable in the swing and will stay in it for a good amount of time while I get a bit done nearby. My favorite feature with this is the harness and how sturdy the frame is. Since it is a five point harness I don’t have to worry too much about my baby falling out. This is important mostly because I have older toddlers in the house and they like to push the baby in the swing and it is definitely a much safer setup than chairs/swings we have owned in the past. I love that it folds up too because we live in a small apartment and it is nice to tuck it away from time to time even if it is just to quickly vacuum the floor. Overall I think this is a great swing and does what it needs to do safely. I was given this swing to try as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel.

Simple and Beautiful Swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like this beautiful and simple baby swing. My baby seems very comfortable and it is good for the baby who likes constant movement. It keeps him happy and also helps put him to sleep. I love that this swing can fold up and be stored under the bed, and then it is super easy to pull back out and reuse. Recently my family noticed that we do better with less out and living more simply, and this swing helps with that! It is nice it takes batteries so there are no cords anywhere… just make sure to buy the batteries as they don’t come with the swing. The mobile is adorable. We think it’s great they used recycled fabrics. The swing speeds are good as well. I didn’t think I would miss music, but white noise or something would’ve been nice. It does make its own purring sound because of the movement though. That’s the only reason for 4 stars instead of 5. That, and I wish it would grow a little more with the baby but then it wouldn’t be as compact. Overall, a great, simple baby swing. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this swing.

Compact Easy Swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This swing checks all of the boxes for us. It is basic but keeps our baby happy, relaxed and soothed when we need to be hands free. It is lightweight and compact which allows us to move it from room to room easily and also use it in smaller areas like our bathroom while getting ready. It folds up with the push of a button for easy storage when we are not using it. The overall aesthetic is pleasing. The fabric is soft and the color palette is neutral. If you are looking for a no frills, simple swing that doesn’t have a large footprint, this swing will do the trick. It has kept our little one very content and happy.

Simple and Functional
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Graco Slim Spaces Swing does exactly what its name promises. It is a swing designed for slim spaces. I received this swing through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I’ve been impressed by how little room it takes up in our home. Our living room is a tight squeeze, and I love how easy it is to collapse the swing and prop it out of the way between uses. Compared to other swings we’ve owned, it has a much smaller footprint. It doesn’t feel like a luxury item, but it also doesn’t claim to be. The fabric, built-in mobile, and overall finishes are simple and minimal, which actually helps it blend into our home nicely. My baby is nearing the end of her swing days, but she still enjoys short spurts of time in it and seems perfectly content with the speed and motion options. I especially appreciate how practical and easy it is to use. Overall, this swing doesn’t have a lot of bells and whistles, but it delivers exactly what it promises. It is a space-saving, functional swing that works well for smaller homes. I can see myself using it again in the future, especially when managing multiples because of its compact size and convenience.

We love this swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been using the Graco Slim Spaces Swing for a few weeks now, and it has honestly been such a great addition to our home — especially with limited space. One of my favorite features is how compact it is. It truly lives up to the “Slim Spaces” name. It fits easily in our living room without taking over the entire space, and I love that it folds up quickly when we want to tuck it away. The carry handle makes it simple to move from room to room, which has been really convenient during the day. The adjustable swinging speeds have been great for figuring out what works best for my baby. Some days she prefers a slower, gentler sway, and other times the slightly faster setting does the trick. The seat is cozy and supportive, and the head support makes it feel secure for younger babies. The overhead toy bar is simple but engaging enough to keep her entertained while she swings. Another big plus is how quiet it is. The motor has a soft hum, but it’s not disruptive, which is especially important during naps. Setup was also straightforward and didn’t take long at all. We received this swing through the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and we’re so grateful we got to try it. It’s been a practical, space-saving solution that actually gets used daily in our house. If you’re looking for a swing that doesn’t dominate your living space but still offers comfort and soothing features, this one is definitely worth considering.

Easy to Use Swing
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of a 6-week-old, I was so excited to receive this swing as part of the Stellar Product Testing panel. The swing took me about 10 minutes to assemble by myself and did not require any tools to put together. It is battery-operated, which gives tons of flexibility for use. Instead of being heavy and requiring a wall outlet, the Graco Slim Spaces Swing is easy to move from room to room or take with me when we visit the grandparents. It is small enough to fit in my kitchen to keep the baby content while I cook dinner, which has been a huge win. The Slim Spaces swing is surprisingly quiet, with just a slight clicking sound when in use. It swings forward and backward when the battery is activated, but the arm joints have flexibility to manually move the swing seat side to side, if desired. This does make the seat a little wobbly when loading baby in, but I found I can use one arm to stabilize the seat and the other to lower the baby in to be buckled. My favorite feature is that it easily folds in half when not in use, making it simple to store, move from room to room, or even pack in the trunk. I have been really pleased with this swing!
