Good Swing, April 11, 2006
This review is from: Fisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along Swing (Baby Product)
We had registered for this swing along with the papasan full size swing. We wanted something we could take to peoples houses with this smaller portable unit. We did not recieve the full size swing for our shower so we decided to just try the smaller one. Now that we have it home and put together the size is perfect for our smaller house. I think a full size swing would take up too much room. It is nice because you can pick the unit up and move it to another room even if the baby is in it. The swing mechanism is a little on the louder side (I have nothing to compare it to right now) but our daughter does'nt seem to mind it. The lights above capture her attention and I like that as she starts to grab at the toys she can make the music go by pulling on the dangling fish. I am not sure how well this will hold up with a larger child being so low to the ground and more compact. Overall we like the swing.

My daughter absolutely loved this swing. She also had the big Aquarium swing which only lasted 9 months. This swing is still a great swing but it is too small for her now because she is 18 months old. We used this swing more than the big one because she preferred it. It was used as a regular swing not a travel swing so it has held up really well. You cant go wrong buying this swing.

Swing has pros and cons, January 1, 2006
This review is from: Fisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along Swing (Baby Product)
There were many advantages to this swing:
* Size was good for our small house
* Was easy to fold up, or even just carry to different areas of the house, or on trips
* My son loved the music and lights
* He was really thrilled once he got a little older and realized he could prompt the music by pulling th fish on the sides
* It was really helpful early on
However, there are also several improvements that could be made:
* Even from the beginning when my son didn't weigh as much, the swing was slow
* It ate through batteries really fast
* Once my son was able to sit up, the swing was not really stable enough for him, in fact it really just seemed unsafe at that point.
Overall, the swing is good, but won't last as long as a larger, sturdier one.
