Today, we will look at two Ingenuity Comfort 2 Go Portable Swing models to help you decide if one will be a good fit for you and your baby.
Becoming a parent is one of life’s greatest blessings. At the same time, caring for and protecting a baby is daunting, particularly for first-time moms and dads.
Even before the little one arrives, there’s the nursery to set up, and clothing and a range of seemingly endless baby products to buy.
If money is tight, there are some items you can get away with not buying. However, a baby swing is an essential item that every new parent should have.
With so many available these days, you may have difficulty choosing between them. So who does it best suit?
Why Choose an Ingenuity Portable Swing?

Being relatively compact, it requires minimal space, but it is in no way cramped or restrictive.
It is comfortable, supportive, and, just as importantly, safe.
And, looking at the reviews, moms, dads, and babies love it.

Ingenuity Portable Baby Swing Overview
Babies and parents alike love the Ingenuity Portable Baby Swing.
Babies love it because it is comfortable and cozy. And moms and dads love that it is safe and convenient to use.
-
Stability
The swing’s frame is reasonably sturdy, but there may be slight movement when placing the baby in and taking them out of the seat.
The seat is close to the floor for added stability.
Non-slip feet keep the unit in place, so you need not fear that it will tip over.
-
Safety Harness
A five-point safety harness will contain your child safely in the swing so they won’t slip or wriggle out.
-
Size and portability
The Ingenuity Portable Baby Swing is very compact, light enough to move easily, and folds to store.
This makes it ideal for tiny spaces and to take on the road when traveling or visiting grandma and grandpa.
You can quickly move it from room to room while doing housework, cooking dinner, taking a shower, or having a cup of coffee, and pop your baby into it so you can keep an eye on them.
-
Roomy, Supportive, Adjustable Seat
While its footprint is small, its seat offers ample room for a growing baby. The soft and supportive seat pad has a U-shaped contoured headrest.
The seat’s angle adjusts to two different positions by pressing a button on either side and then pushing it back.
It doesn’t lay fully flat, but it must be used in the reclined position with the head support in place until your little one is four months old or can support their neck unaided.
-
Variable Swing Speeds
Six swing speeds are available.
Equipped with TrueSpeed™ technology, this detects the baby’s weight and adjusts accordingly to ensure that the swing speed stays consistent as the baby grows and gets heavier.
The Ingenuity Cozy Kingdom Portable Swing’s swinging motion can be manually implemented and adjusted faster or slower by turning a dial.
Alternatively, you can activate the integrated timer to move the swing back and forth automatically for 30, 45, or 60 minutes.
-
Music and Sounds
The Ingenuity Comfort 2 Go Portable Swing offers 8 soothing melodies and 4 nature sounds.
A sound control button allows you to adjust the volume. Alternatively, your baby can swing without sound.
Something to be aware of is that the batteries will run flat after about 24 hours of use, so it’s a good idea to have a spare set on hand.
-
Toy Bar
A removable overhead toy bar contains two plush padded toys for the baby to swat at and touch. The toys vary depending on the model you select. (See the specs above for details.)
-
Easy to Clean
Both seat pad and headrest can be spot-cleaned or removed and machine-washed, then tumble-dried when required.
The frames can be wiped clean with a damp soapy cloth as needed.
-
Warranty
The swings come with a 1-year warranty.
