**Question:** Which baby swing is easy to put together?

**Short answer:** Graco Slim Spaces Compact Swing has the best record for easy assembly: 26 of 26 parents said it was quick and easy to put together, and Munchkin Bluetooth Enabled Baby Swing is a near tie at 24 of 24. Graco DuetConnect Deluxe Swing and Bouncer follows at 13 of 14, while Ingenuity InLighten Soothing Swing has the weakest record here at 9 of 14. Four swings cleared the bar for this page and each rests on a modest group of parents, so a few reviews can move a score.

**What stands out:** Assembly was rarely the weak spot for the first three. The bigger complaint is a swing that stopped working. That shows up in 19% of Graco Slim Spaces Compact Swing reviews, 19% of Graco DuetConnect Deluxe Swing and Bouncer reviews and 27% of Ingenuity InLighten Soothing Swing reviews.
