1.0 out of 5 stars buy the other model, February 20, 2004

I already own the deluxe take along swing(which is the original version) and I love it, so when I saw this version in the store I thought it lookd like it had more for my son to look at with those floating fish on the sides and I bought it. I hate it. First of all the baby is to reclined in this seat. His chin rests on his chest and he is always squirming to sit up higher. He seems very uncomfortable. Second, the velcroe straps on the deluxe model that keep the unit together and stop it from swinging for easy "take along" are not on this model so it is not easy to carry with one hand because the seat swings out when you walk. The third thing that is different on this model is that if you have it in the lights and music mode, when it shuts off you ( or the baby) can not just pull one of the hang down toys to start it back up like on the deluxe. You have to turn it off and then turn it back on with the switch so there is no way for the baby to restart it himself. I called fisher price to find out if maybe mine was defective or something because these seemed like really dumb changes to make and they told me it is a new model and they are still working out the kinks. They told me I could return it to them for a refund. I did. The original deluxe take along swing is much much better.

My 3 month old son is sleeping soundly in this swing at this exact moment. He loves his swing. He loves looking up at the lights and is already reaching for the hanging toys. Good job Fisher-Price! This Aquarium version of their already popular take-along swing is adorable! I love the fish "swimming" in the side arms and the cute stuffed fish toy in the belt pocket.

Our little guy was around 9lbs when we bought this and now he is about 12.5lbs. Right now he's running on the speed 3 (out of 8) and it is plenty fast.

We put a Kiddopotomus Snuzzler under him (those are awesome for newborn car seats too!) because he looked so small in the swing at first. A Snuzzler is just an added support cushion. He doesn't need it but it makes it even cozier.

I love how quiet this swing runs and I haven't had to change the batteries yet! There are so many options on this thing too. I just can't say enough about it. I'm so glad we bought it instead of a full-sized swing. It takes up less room & is portable.

When he gets older there is a toy setting - which allows the baby to pull the hanging toys to start the music & lights. Then there is an automatic music & light combo setting or just a music setting.

Anyway, hope that helps!

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed in product, July 1, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Fisher Price - Aquarium Take-along Swing (Baby Product)

I bought this for our 3 month old daughter because she likes to be in a swing, but the full size one is too big to take room to room. The swing is great for its mobility except for a few things. First the music does not play very long at all and you have to constantly be resetting it. Also, the handle bar is in the way when you are trying to pull your wiggling infant out you have to make sure you don't hit their head on it. They should make the top open or make it an option to fold the handle down when you take your baby out. Also, if you need to change the batteries, you better make sure you have a phillips screwdriver with you, that is the only way to open & close the battery cover. Lastly, when you fold it up, it does not stay closed, you have to hold it all together. Other than that, I do like the variable speeds, the lights (when they stay on) and the toys that hang down.
