3-Point Harness Inadequate for a Swing!
We used this swing until my daughter was about 6 months, because she couldn't pull herself up at all. But really, a swing should have a 5-point harness. It's crazy to me they would make one, like this one, with a 3-point harness that in any event is impossible to adequately tighten due to design. As soon as my daughter showed signs of enough strength to lift herself up, we were done with it. She did like it, though. But it needs a better restraint!

The notion that you could use this until the child is 2, or even 25 pounds, is ludicrous. Without a 5-point harness, the child will try to climb out and may seriously injure him/herself.

Has helped us alot
I bought this swing about three months ago for my then- six week old son. It has worked just as we had hoped, many times lulling him to sleep. When he's awake, he's often fascinated by the light show and spinning fish above him. We use it daily, not for very long periods, but have only changed the batteries once. It does have a very strong swing mechanism, so when he was smaller we definitely had to choose the lower settings or he would have been thrown out. Definitely would buy it again!

swings much too hard
We are returning the swing because it swings much too hard, even in the lowest setting, for our two-month-old baby. The instructions suggest attaching a dangling blanket if it swings too hard, but a) that didn't really help and b) if it's a common enough problem that they suggest a remedy then why not manufacture a chair with a lower setting?

Best swing I've used
Out of all the swings and seats and pillows, this swing is the only thing that soothes my screaming baby. When I need a rest from walking, I can put her in this swing and she will stop crying. The wave sound coupled with the lights and moving fish give her the right amount of stimulation. I really don't know what I would do without this swing. The only drawback is the auto shut off for the sounds and mobile. I keep a stash of batteries on hand at all times, this swing seems to be average when it comes to going through batteries.

Still Great After 4 Years
We used this swing for our twins 4 years ago. I loved it then and now that we have a new little one, I still love it. We have the older version that runs on D batteries only. I don't mind this so much--we buy them at Costco. But on the pro side, the older version doesn't have a time limit like the new one with the AC adapter. Either way, they haven't changed the design at all other than the mobile and the power supply that I can tell. It does move a bit fast for a newborn, but once they hit about 9 pounds which doesn't take very long, it's fine. My 4 month old is 16 pounds and it's absolutely perfect for him. One of my favorite shower gifts, even 4 years later.

awesome swing!!!
This swing is a lifesaver, is gorgeous & has the awesome feature of being used as a papasan chair! The music is soothing, not annoying & the plug in feature is a great function!!! :)

A great swing!
When my baby was born, a friend loaned me this swing. We loved it! The baby always fell asleep in it within minutes. The music it played was really beautiful and peaceful. I really missed it once we returned it to the owner.

The only drawbacks were: the seat size - pretty small, so our baby outgrew it within a few months. Also the mobile didn't move on its own. If it had a larger seat and a moving mobile, I would have given it 5 stars.

Swings too fast for newborn/barely any room for shoulders
I wanted a more modern swing than the ones I have seen in the stores, and after a lot of research I went ahead and spent the money on this swing. The colors are beautiful and the design itself is nice. Putting it together took about 30 minutes. I also had problems snapping in the pieces, but my husband had no trouble with it, so I gave up and let him finish :)
Fisher Price says that this swing is for newborns up to 12 months. That is another reason I bought the swing. But now that our baby is here (she is 1 month now) I cannot imagine being able to fit her into this swing past 5 or 6 months. She already seems pretty uncomfortable in it, her shoulders barely fit in it and I think it swings a bit too fast for newborns, even on the lowest setting.
The mobile doesnt move, which probably makes sense, since the swing already does. But if she was just sitting in it without moving, it would be nice to have the option of a rotating mobile.
All in all, the swing is nice, but I dont think its worth the money, since there is no way it can be used more than a couple of months..

The Elite in Baby Swings
Couldn't have been happier with this purchase and was very proud to give this item as a Baby Shower gift. Multi functional so more bang for your buck.
In Short: Great Product, Super Pricing & Speedy delivery. Who could ask for more. Will assist in keeping both Mom & Baby content.

Pretty swing.
The colors of the swing are really pretty, and not too loud. I like the little blanket, and daughter likes the nature noises. She gets bored with the mobile though. My favorite part is that it plugs in so we don't have to worry about replacing batteries.
