Pros: Works Great For Our Family Cons: Nothing Spectacular
It was just this past Spring that I was given an invitation to a Baby Shower held for me, for I was expecting a long awaited second child. We had sold all of our baby furniture, toys, you name it, because we had given up all hope on ever having another...
Pros: Safe, Lightweight, Reliable & Battery Operated Cons: The Price.
The Background
Just allow me to share with you how I am able to base my opinion on this wonderful machine they call the Graco Open Top Swing. My brother and sister in law asked me to help them out for a couple of weeks till they...
I just enrolled a 6 month old baby boy into my Home Daycare. His parents told me that he had a swing at home that he loved. Since I don't normally take infants, I didn't have a swing for him to use while in my care. So off to Babies R Us I went.
...
Pros: Stability, Attractiveness, Reclining positions, Mix 'N Move toys Cons: Poor directions, Tray gets in the way when taking child in and out
Why did we go with this swing?
We originally registered for the Graco Open Top 2-Speed Swing at Babies R Us but didn't receive it at my baby shower. We were given a Kids II Comfort Me Bouncer instead and decided just to try that out...
Pros: Relaxing fun for your child, easy for you to use! Cons: Large footprint.
Our baby really enjoys her Graco Open Top Two-speed Infant Swing. Her daddy put it together in about 30 minutes and said it was really easy. Sturdy construction of metal tube A-frame and tough molded plastic parts make this a durable item. The machine...
Pros: Durable, easy to clean Cons: Expensive to buy new
A battery operated swing was on my list of "must-haves" prior to the birth of my third child. The high price tags however seemed to keep these out of our reach, especially since we already had a manual wind-up swing that was still working....
When I first found out I was pregnant I was excited, yet I was also nervous. I did not have the faintest idea as to what I needed and what I did not. Then a few months later I found out that my family was throwing me a shower. When they asked me to...
Pros: Several reclining positions, removable toys, excellent food tray Cons: None above any other swing
This is a great swing. The open-top design means no more bonked heads, and the two speed settings allow you to cater to your baby's age. The fast speed is a little too fast for the younger babies, so you still have the choice of the slower speed. The ...
Pros: attractive color and pattern, 4 seat positions, safe seating Cons: fast setting is too fast for small babies, didn't always work correctly, it finally died
I didn't really want to buy a swing in the first place. I don't believe in most infant "detachment devices" however I was desperate to have something to put my daughter in while I took a shower in the morning. She was a very high-need baby...
Pros: Easy open, easy to operate, optional fun toy accessories Cons: none
My first swing was purchased by my in-laws for my son. It was a Graco, closed top, manual wind-up type swing. It was nice and worked great. So, how did I end up with this swing? Well my sister-in-law was given our swing. Long story, but I knew we...
Pros: Battery-powered, takes a beating, easy access, smooth swinging! Cons: Slow speed sometimes gets too slow and stops the swinging entirely.
When my husband and I ventured into the world of parenting 13 years ago, we were baptized by fire with a colicy baby. Our beautiful, healthy baby boy cried nearly incessantly from morning til night. The doctor ruled out all health problems and gave the...
Pros: looks good, no winding, open top Cons: none yet!!!
When I was doing my registry for my baby shower I discovered this swing. I checked it all out, and thought that would really nice to have. I marked it off on my list, not thinking that anyone would actually buy the swing, being that it was so...
A very good friend recently gave me one of these swings to use with my new baby. The thing that had us both excited was that it was an open top swing. I have an older model Fisher Price swing that I just love, but it is not an open top and sometimes...
Pros: No winding necessary, comforts baby Cons: not well padded, takes up a lot of space
When I delivered my 1st baby in 1995 I had a wind up swing. I found it to be annoying because just when my son would drift off to dream land, the swing would stop and he would wake up. Based on that experience, I decided I would buy a battery operated...
Pros: reclines, open top, easy to use Cons: controls low enough for a 2 year old to reach
When my oldest daughter was born, (she is now 2) I had my niece's swing passed down to me. It was great, or so I thought. It came with a bassinet and a seat. My daughter was never really fond of it. Mostly because you have to move the swing tray,...
