Graco Sweet Snuggle Infant Soothing Swing, Jacqueline (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

I took care of a LO prior to getting PG who had a swing just like this that swung side to side. He loved it and so did I, so I knew I had to get one as soon as my LO arrived.A lot of people complain about the side to side motion that it doesn't work for their LO's but babies are in general particular about swings. I'm lucky that my LO isn't particular and enjoys both this and a traditional swing.So far, we've only used it in full recline. She often takes naps in it and in her first month, would really only sleep in this overnight. She loves the ocean sound and now that she's 2 months, I'll sometimes put the seat all the way up (strap her in) and let her listen to the songs, look out, and look at the toys which she enjoys.I've had to wash the cover and also travel with this (via car) and it's easy to clean and disassemble into a few main parts.Some have commented about how deep the seat is. It's a little deep for a newborn and I have had to put blankets in the bottom to help cover the uncomfortable straps and raise her up when she was new.Great swing.***Update*** My daughter (5 months old now) doesn't love this swing as much as she did when she was a newborn but it still comes in handy every now and then. I will say, this is in the same room as her crib and I use it as a noise machine at night which is a major lifesaver. I have another noise machine in my room since we were bed sharing but now it's at my work, so being able to just turn on the noise machine is great. We've always used the white noise which is really great. So, this item really serves a double purpose!

My daughter is 9 weeks old and purchasing a swing was essential! When it arrived we were very pleased. It is very pretty and easy to assemble. Once our baby arrived we found it to be a lifesaver! She absolutely loved it and it rocked her to sleep in no time while I was doing other things. We love that you can change the position of the seat, as the side to side motion didn't seem to please her after about a week, but the back and forth is very soothing to her. The other day however, we noticed that even though it was on the number 2 setting (which it had always been on) it was swinging very fast, as if it was on the number 6 setting! So, we put it down to the 1 setting and that would be fine for awhile, but would slow down to almost stopping and then speed back up to a 6 for a few seconds and then slow back down. Now it is doing half swings and then stopping completely. The motor is blown. Very disappointed that after such a short amount of time we are having to either replace the motor or the entire swing. I would not recommend this product to anyone. Too much of a hassle for any new mom to deal with.

I can only give 4 stars as I haven't had baby yet, but this swing is so pretty. The colors are more muted and soft. They are not nearly as bright as they are in the picture. This swing was super easy to put together and the instructions were very clear. I was able to get his swing together in under 20 minutes even with the "help" of my 18 month old walking off with parts.

The baby is not here yet so I can't say if it will hold up without tipping but it is smaller than most of these types of swings which means your whole living room is not taken over by a swing. I'm concerned that is might tip because of the way it is made but haven't used it yet.

My daughter hated swinging front to back so we looked around and found this swing. . After reading reviews and checking out weight charts this was the best choice. Holds up to 30 lbs and swings any way you want! ! God send!!! I am able to do dishes and laundry because toys swing is so gentle and relaxing for her. We don't use the music on it however. . It's kind of twangy :/ but all of the good far outweighs the one complaint I have for this swing! Super easy to put together ( coming from someone who can't build ANYTHING) just love this swing all around!!

Our swing sat for a few months without being used. Upon powering it on, we had a spark come out of the motor enclosure and the control box became extremely hot. Very unfortunate. The swing was great when it worked. Unfortunately we only got a couple times of use out of ours, because our baby didn't take to being in a swing real well. So we are stuck with a swing that isn't safe to use that is in brand new condition (10 months after purchase).

I'm still pregnant with my little girl but she'll be here in a few weeks. My hubby put this together and we tested it out of course and it's amazing, I love that the little carrier part spins all the way around, so you don't have to constantly move it around so the baby can see you. It fits perfectly in my living room and does not take up much space. It also has the sound of the ocean which is awesome. This is so freaking perfect.

I bought this for my newborn. She was 8 lbs 5 oz and have had it for 2 months so far and she is now 12 lbs. She fits perfectly and it soothes her right to sleep. It has 6 speeds to swing by however they are powerful. I only use setting 1(so far at least) it has music and the look of it is pretty cool. It was easily assembled, all you need is a screwdriver. I would definitely recommend this swing.
