We have a two-month old who usually wants to be held, sometimes for hours. We've had the swing for less than a month and the batteries are dying. It's a sturdy product with many great features.The only drawback is that it seems to go through batteries pretty quickly. Great product. Now we put her in the swing and she's happy there most of the time. It would have been nice to be able to plug it in to a power outlet. She can sleep and play in it.
After weeks of constantly holding him it can be very helpful for some hands free time to do things like make dinner etc. I think he likes the music choice best but the crickets etc. There is a noise associated with the rocking/motor but it isn't that loud and is overpowered by the music/noises if you turn it up. It can keep him happy for about 20 minutes and he will sometimes fall asleep in it. I finally broke down and bought this for my son a few weeks ago when he was a little over a month old.
I like all the options for music/noise. When he is in a good mood he loves to stare at the mirror and the rotating mobile. However, it's not a miracle swing because if he is grumpy he is unlikely to stop crying just because he is in the swing ;) Still, I would recommend it. are a nice alternative. I haven't had to replace the D batteries yet and we've used it quite a bit.
We've been using it since he was born. But, then again, that seems to calm the baby and help him sleep. It makes a creaking/clunking sound- almost like a moving train. My baby loves this swing. This frees me up during the day to get chores done and I love this product. I highly recommend this swing. The only con is that the motor is not silent, like some previous reviewers noted.
Luckily we use rechargeable batteries, but when they run out in the middle of the night it can be a real pain. It was the only way she'd sleep outside our arms for the first few months. This swing has been a godsend for our colicky one. The only problem now is she's 4.5 months and won't sleep anywhere else. I only wish Fisher price would make a larger one b/c I'm not sure how she'll sleep once she outgrows this. Also, I wish this swing had an a/c adaptor.
The swing is exactly how I expected and I love how it plugs in or uses batteries. Even my husband struggles with it over an hour. I love this papasan swing. It doesn't say in the instructions that they have to snap in place.and we couldnt tell if they were backwards or not. I noticed amazon had the best price by far as well. The directions were pretty self explanitory, except when it was time to put the legs to the actual cradle. Cutest swing I've seen out there.
I looked everywhere for it since babiesrus doesn't have it, only the girly pink one. It matches the baby room perfectly too. Other than that, everything else is perfect. The only giltch is it was hard to put together from the directions.
