Toddler loves the swing for naptime!
October 17, 2019
I bought this swing because it could be plugged in and the weight range, 5.5 to 30 lbs. I knew ahead of time my son was going to be born a preemie so although he didn't need any NICU time we still had to wait a few weeks to use the swing till he was heavy enough. Well, my newborn hated it. If he did fall asleep it was only for a few minutes, he loved another that went forward and back at my gym. I was disappointed. The head support for a newborn is horrific too and the directions say to not use anything else.
When my son was about 18 months old he really started enjoying the swing and taking his naps in it. (We keep the swing at my parents house so he may use it about 2 days a week). He can fall asleep within about 3 minutes and climbs in the swing himself, I just need to buckle him in. My son is 28 months old and weighs 28 pounds with clothes and although he still loves the swing, I am annoyed that the design doesn't give more room in the crotch area. Unlike the Graco car seats, the swing doesn't have an adjustable piece in the crotch so it's difficult to put the belt on him. I feel I could probably use the swing a lot longer if they had this but we will probably have to stop before he reaches 30 pounds.
There has always been an annoying sound from the swing but it ends up being like white noise so I can't complain too much about that.
I would buy the swing again or give it as a gift but I feel it could be greatly improved with a better buckle for toddlers and head support for newborns.
