very reasonable swing
December 28, 2010
I was surprised to see the negative reviews of this swing. I didn't have these experiences at all. Our baby is huge, born 10lbs, and we used the swing up to 25 lbs. It always swung her fine. We had to change the batteries twice, in nine months of near-daily usage. The swing will shut itself off if there is even a mild obstacle (e.g., rubbing against other furniture) or if the baby is rocking herself forwards. The music it plays was good, and she liked it as she was older. The sound effects (waves, white noise) were good when she was younger. In fact, the controls of the swing became a target of her play as we would walk her around the house. She could spend tens of minutes just being held and turning the music and sound effects off and on. (The only bad part of that we had to hold her up while she played with it -- the controls are raised up for an adult.) The swing was bought for us by a grandfather, and honestly, I didn't want to use the thing when I first saw it. But it was very good at soothing our baby, especially when she was younger.
