Fun and practical

I like this swing because it's cute, not too gaudy, and compact in size for my small house. It doesn't fold up as well as the picture shows. The legs fold in, which is great. The seat will fold like that, but there's nothing to keep it like that. So unless you sew on some velcro or something, it's going to pop right back to it's original shape. But still fits in the closet or car. It's just a little clunky to be carrying around.
My son loves it. We used it from birth, still use it at 5 months (now he watches the toys), and will continue to use for a few more months I'm sure. The toys are a little boring, but we often put others on it or in the swing with him. The music is cute and not really annoying. I like that it can also be silent. With daily use, the batteries last about 2 months.

Great Swing for Baby Number 3!
»
Our old swing broke shortly after our 3rd was born. I borrowed a different version of this swing from a friend and liked it so much we bought our own. NOTE: There are two versions - one with lights, sounds and toys and one without. I bought the simpler one on purpose, in fact I was thrilled to find it. The main reason our old swing broke was because my 2 and 3 year olds were constantly playing with the light and sounds switches. They would wake the baby by turning the music up loud and the extra features made it eat batteries faster. With this swing there is nothing to attract them so they let baby swing in peace! I love how easy it is to fold it up and move it from room to room. I also really like the fabric. The open-top feature also makes getting baby into and out of the swing a breeze. The first set of batteries I put in were cheap ones and they didn't last long but brand-name batteries will last for ages. Our son loves his swing and I love knowing that it won't take up much room when it's time to put it away. Also, it's super easy to take along anywhere you need to go. I would highly recommend this swing!

Great Swing! Life Safer!
»
I extremely love this swing. This swing absolutely my life safer. I have a 6 days old newborn when hurricane IKE hit Houston.
I'm a first time mother, I don't have experience in taking care of newborn, and I am worried if a baby cries all the time.
When the hurricane hit, our house was out of power and we cannot open our window. Our newborn cried all the time and wouldn't go to sleep because it's so hot without AC and NO air flow at all and we can only use baby gear that use batteries. We tried to put him on bouncer, nursed him, changed diapers, sang to him, fan him with hands, we even tried to swing it with our hands, basically we tried everything we knew to make him stop crying and nothing works, but once I put him in this swing, he slept like a lamb.
At first, I was so worried to put a newborn baby in a swing, since nothing worked, we decided to try this swing and I used the lowest setting and it worked. We monitored him all the time to make sure his head didn't fall.
We are very2 happy with this swing. I think my son loves the music. It's very calming.
We were out of power for a week and this swing is our life safer, even until now. Now he is almost 5 weeks old, and he is happy when we put him on a swing. The hanging toys makes him very attracted.
We even tried another fisher price swing when we stay at our friend's house (I forgot the name of the swing, it's soft yellow color), but my son hate it, he still cry. I think my son is a very picky baby, he wants a calming music, attractive toys and great swing and this is the best swing ever. Very easy to assemble and lightweight. I really recommend this swing.
I heard from 2 of my friends that their babies hate swing and prefer bouncer. Both of them have 2 baby girl. Their babies got scared when they put on a swing, but my baby boy loves it so much. My son hate his bouncer. Probably it depends on the baby too.

A Must-Have for Babies!
»
I love this swing! My second baby would scream every time I left her with her aunt or grandma until I purchased this swing. It is easily transported, and takes up a lot less space than our conventional swing. Since we don't have a huge house, every little bit of space we can save helps. The only thing I would change is the toys. They seem to be fun to look at, but they are unreachable. I just attach her car seat toys if she wants something to play with. Every mom needs a swing like this!
