Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm one of those horrible moms that lets her baby take every nap in the swing. :) we have the my little lamb cradle and swing (which i'm pretty sure was sent from heaven), but medical issues have caused us to have to spend lots of time at my parents house and our big swing was NOT going to go back and forth with us. So, we bought this little swing. I LOVE it. I was worried that some of the other swings wouldn't recline far enough and my baby wouldn't be able to fall asleep them, so I bought this one because I thought it looked like it would lay him back pretty far. He loves it and sometimes sleeps for 2 hours in it. (some of the other little swings i read about had timers that made them shut off after an hour...this would not be cool!) This one will go on forever :) He is 4 months and weighs 13 pounds and we use it on the lowest speed setting. I think it goes plenty fast, but of course I'm wanting him to sleep. The only things I don't like: -the little thing that hangs down is pretty much just a hunk of plastic in animal shapes. I'm pretty sure my baby looked up at it for about 2 seconds and though, "uhhhh....okay." worthless. - the songs (which I never use anyway) and sort of like what you would listen to at an outdoor luau or something. if you want something to shake maracas to, the songs are for you. if sleep is your goal, they won't help. -it IS a bit hard. but of course we were used to the my little lamb swing which is pretty much like sleeping on an actual lamb or something. I folded up a receiving blanket to make a super flat (don't worry SIDS police) pillow for him and that seemed to do the trick. Oh yes...and it was easy to put together. If I got the job done and my child wasn't injured in a swing related accident...you can do it. Or hey I don't know, maybe you can't, but it's worth a shot :) happy swinging.
