3.0 out of 5 stars Good for smaller babies, June 6, 2010

By

This review is from: Fisher-Price Precious Planet Blue Sky Open Top Take-Along Swing (Baby Product)

I've used this swing for my daughter since she was about a month old. It worked great for us in the beginning, sometimes it was the only thing that would put her to sleep if she had gas. It has many features I prefer to the full-size swing in the same collection- it uses energy more efficiently, the seat cradles the baby more, its portable. However, I don't see how this is supposed to work for a bigger baby- my daughter is now 6 months and about 18lbs, and it barely moves even with fresh batteries on the highest setting. It also creaks, and the seat pad dips so low she almost touches the ground. Also she is getting close to being able to sit on her own, and when she pulls her head & shoulders up, it comes to a complete stop.
I would still recommend this swing as it doesn't cost nearly as much as a full-sized one, just don't expect it to be useful all the way up to the maximum weight limit. When my daughter was smaller, it was a lifesaver. It fits easily in the trunk of the car, so if friends invited us over for dinner, I could sit her in this next to the table and actually be able to have a hands-free meal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sanity Saver!, January 31, 2011

This review is from: Fisher-Price Precious Planet Blue Sky Open Top Take-Along Swing (Baby Product)

This swing is a lifesaver, it has preserved my sanity many, many times. My son did not like to be held when he slept, he doesn't like to be bothered when he gets sleepy. He prefers to be layed down and fall asleep on his own and cuddle his blanket. My son had terrible tummy aches when he was first born due to infant reflux and he cried anytime you would lay him down to sleep or pick him up to console him, so when he had a tummy ache and wanted movement but not to be held while he slept this swing was perfect. And also it kept propped up which is a must if your child has reflux.
It is small and doesn't take up much room at all, so it is perfect if you are like me and have a limited amount of space. It is portable so it was great when I wanted to move from room to room while picking up or taking a bath. I could just fold it up and take it with me and he would be perfectly content.

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed, screeching sounds, March 19, 2011

By

This review is from: Fisher-Price Precious Planet Blue Sky Open Top Take-Along Swing (Baby Product)

We received this swing as a shower gift. Originally we had planned on getting a full size swing; but lacked the space in our home. Until our baby was about 4 1/2 months, he would only nap in the bouncer, he hated being in this swing. Then he switched and only napped in the swing. The first week or two, it was great. The only complaint I had was that the way he sat in it. I thought he looked uncomfortable; but he always fell asleep quickly, so it did the trick. Then one day this horrible screeching sound like nails on a chalkboard started every time it rocked back and forth. Sometimes my baby will sleep through it, sometimes the screeching wakes him up. We tried to get it to stop with no luck. I just ordered a different brand because I can't stand the sound any longer. I'm disappointed with how quickly it seems to have worn out. On the positive side, my child did like the toys above his head & the music. The continuous rocking was also nice. I just wish it would've lasted a few more months at least.
