Tonight, my son fell out of his swing this afternoon when the seat tipped over. The bolts were not loose, nor were they stripped. The CSR that I spoke to at Mattel basically told me that it was my fault (in a nutshell) and told me to buy a new one. She said that they no longer make the repair parts for this particular swing. PLEASE check your Fisher Price swings and make sure the seat is not loose. Also, double check the seat belts. Because those came loose as well.
This was a secondhand gift, however, I would expect expensive baby items like this SHOULD last more than a few years and through more than one child.
In terms of this swing, the motor makes a very loud noise and is sucks batteries like no tomorrow. The seat is wobbly and not safe. My son fell out of this swing face first onto the floor tonight and has a huge bruise on his head from it. FP refused to do anything about it, they didn't even apologize.
I give this ZERO stars.

The swing is too fast for newborns. The motor is loud. The buttons are difficult to discern. I have no idea what the circle inside the circle means. I feel the mobile is too far away from the seat, the baby has no idea its there. Also, it is very difficult to determine if the legs are far enough apart to stabalize the swing.

We received this as a gift. It looked okay after we set it up. However we noticed some immediate drawbacks. First, the Fisher-Price labels are upside down on the seatbelt-not a dealkiller but not what you would expect for a product in this price range. Also the legs were mislabelled in the instructions. The left leg has the plug but in the instructions it says the right leg has it.
The most important drawback is the 7 minute limit on movement, music and the light globe. After 7 minutes they all turn off automatically-even if you have it plugged in. What a boneheaded move! Usually as our child falls asleep the music stops and he wakes up immediately. Not sure what "clever" engineer placed a seven minute limit on entertainment for a child when the itme is plugged in. I would look elsewhere.

This is a must have item. We had two swings. One, a Baby Einstein, given to us and although we were grateful, she hated it. The second one, we purchased, was this swing and it has served us every stage of my one-year olds infant life.
As a newborn, my daughter didn't like swinging but would fall asleep if swinging sideways. Something about the side-to-side movement on a newborn's head was comforting to her rather than the back and forth motion of a traditional swing. The first few months she slept in this swing, sometimes overnight. You know when sometimes that is necessary because you need a decent night's sleep. The lights and white noise provided a distraction during very trying colicky times. I love the variety of settings and combinations that give the parent control. The "reset" button to allow for continued use without clicking any buttons is a wonderful feature.
This swing grew with her over the following months. As she learned new developmental movements like sitting up and rolling over, she much preferred to practice than go to sleep. We would put her in the swing and she would go out like a light and then we would transfer her to her crib where she would get a great nap. This allowed her to learn when naptime was and encouraged her to give in to the feeling of sleep.
Around 8 months she began to crawl and would scream like crazy if I had to stick her in her crib when somebody came to the door or I had to run to the restroom and didn't want to leave her unattended. The swing was the ideal place for her to go. She enjoyed swinging by this stage. It was also nice to be able to feed her a simple snack like puffs or cheerios and not have her be sitting in her high chair or the floor.
Now that she's a crawler/walker, we still use the swing. She loves pulling up on it and likes the fact that it is not stable like a table. She uses it to practice her balance. She still plays with the spinning toys on the tray. And she STILL is swinging in it. She's a tiny one-year old, 18lbs. Most children this age have surpassed the weight limit. Thankfully she has not because she's going through a transitional period where she is re-figuring out her nap schedule. When all else fails, we can put her in the swing with a bottle of soy milk (we're beginning to wean) and she falls right asleep!
Yes, it uses 4-D Sized batteries but you need power to run something so technologically advanced. Our batteries would last us around two weeks. Sometimes a little longer. We just bought them in large packs from Costco. Totally worth it as we used this swing daily.
Thank you Fisher-Price for this wonderful, wonderful product!

We bought a swing because so many people swore that a swing was the answer to better sleep for us and our new baby. We bought this particular one after I did some research both online and in person with friends who had purchased this one. I buy just about anything that someone tells me works for THEIR baby. I now know that truly it depends on the baby, as some techniques or products have worked and some have not. Our baby wasn't quite four weeks when we bought it and she was not fond of her rocker, so I had high hopes for the swing. She really didn't like it at first..well, let's say, it didn't work the magic I was hoping it would. It was good to put her in while I had to do things like shower or eat, but she would start crying after 10 minutes or so. The main problem was that "jumping" they do in their sleep that wakes them up. I think it has something to do with their sense of gravity. Anyway, she is now 7 weeks old and she has gotten more used to it. I still can't put her in it and expect to sleep four hours without her crying, like I was told by friends, but she will go down maybe an hour, sometimes longer, which is good. So, I am hoping we progress to that point if we can't get her transitioned to the bed soon. The aquarium above her head does keep her attention and it was easy to put together. It's fairly easy to move around the house, but I wish I had two so I wouldn't have to move it between levels when I'm at home alone with her. You can't move it with baby in arms. I will say, at first, I thought the first swing setting was too fast and high...but she seems to have gotten used to it. I would recommend buying this product. I am hoping I can update my review as she gets more used to it.
