5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Swing, November 8, 2007

By

This review is from: Fisher-Price Power-Plus Plug-In Swing - Best Friends (Baby Product)

We received this swing as a gift for our twins and two years later it's still in great condition and the best swing I've encountered. I was a bit surprised by the complaints in the other reviews - as far as the speeds go, it's not any different than the other dozens of swings I've had experience with (Day care, church nurseries). If you drape a blanket over a swing, it's probably going to slow down! I have the model before this, but I've loved it.

1. I liked the "blah" colors - ours is the "jungle" theme - tan and burgundy. It blended with our other living room colors instead of the obnoxiously loud typical baby colors.

2. Love, love that it plugs in. The songs are a nice variety from "Simple Gifts/Lord of the Dance" to "Twinkle, twinkle".

3. Fabric has held up to multiple yucky accidents and washings - hasn't faded, no pillage at all. The mesh pockets on the side are nice for holding toys.

4. The tray I didn't use for the first 6 months, just buckled them in but it was very handy afterwards for their snacks, cup, etc. I used a head support pillow (average ones you buy at the store) for the first few months and that worked excellently.

5. One of the things I love the most about it is that it's taller than most swings sold nowadays. My twins at 33 inches still fit comfortably in it without their feet dragging!

All in all, I've loved this swing and it's in great condition (despite the typical toddler boy abuse) for the next baby 3 years later. My kids have loved it, but I've also babysat infants who didn't like it- babies have preferences! Other types of swings have their benefits (cradle types, portables, etc) but this is a great swing that can grow with baby over the first year - or longer.

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't swing very much, April 8, 2007

This review is from: Fisher-Price Power-Plus Plug-In Swing - Best Friends (Baby Product)

I bought this because of the plug-in feature. I have the Graco Lovin Hug Easy Entry Open Top/Curved Frame Swing that I like much better. This Fisher Price swing is very slow even on the highest setting and if a blanket falls and touches the ground, it stops the swing completely! It also has a post between the baby's legs and it doesn't recline very far, so it isn't great for having the baby nap in. The seat itself is not very large - my two month old's legs are already sticking off of it. It was only $80 here, so I didn't waste my money, but if Graco made a plug-in swing, I would surely get that instead. I have an older Fisher Price swing with similar styling and I like the Graco much better than both of them!

4.0 out of 5 stars Good swing!, November 19, 2007

This review is from: Fisher-Price Power-Plus Plug-In Swing - Best Friends (Baby Product)

Unlike some of the other reviewers, we haven't had any problems with this swing at all; in fact, it has worked very well. I love that it plugs in, and I actually chose it for the "drab" colors, as ours sits in the living room and not the nursery. It's a bit classier looking than its garish primary-colored cousins. One reviewer mentioned that the tray gets in the way, but it snaps off and on very easily. The mobile swings back out of the way, as well, so it's very easy to get baby in and out.

There are two things I would probably change about this swing, but neither is a major concern for us. First, there isn't a noticeable difference among the six speeds, at least not on ours. The one speed it has, though, is perfect for calming our baby, so I really can't complain. Secondly, the music really grates on my nerves. The sound of it is cheap and cheesey, and even on the lower volume setting it seems much too loud for being as close to the baby's head as it is. But the music can be turned off, so again, this doesn't prevent us from enjoying the swing.

All in all, I would recommend this product, especially if you prefer simple and understated baby gear. Our 2-month-old loves it.
