What experts didn't like

Some people may find it annoying that the vibration unit runs independently of the rest of the swing and requires its own D battery. Battery use on the swing itself has its own minor inconvenience: When they run down, you have to take your baby out of the seat in order to change them.
Swings only in one direction (not front and back)
Sometimes makes an annoying clicking noise
The baby swing doesn’t fold so you can’t use it for traveling
When the straps are adjusted to their full length, they are still a bit too short for a larger baby
