GracoSimple Sway Swing, Ivy

I got this for my bother and his wife for a baby shower. It was very easy to build and very sturdy. The only downfall I think is that the music that plays isn’t that loud since you do hear the motor noise slightly. The vibration is a great add on in the seat!

My son loves the swinging and vibrations. Easy to use

The media could not be loaded. After 2 days of being used, the rocker stopped working. Please see video. However, troubleshooting is simple. Instead of unplugging it from the wall, you need to first disconnect from the connector, unplug it esoteric a few seconds, replug everything back and the rocker will reset and work again.

Order it in a moment of desperation 🤣🤣🤣.Baby loves it. It was totally worth the money. It’s a little bit in the bigger size but it’s not a problem . Graco always offers great quality items.

Issues with speed:When the swing first arrived, I was very shocked at how aggressively it swings back-and-forth. The swing speed range from level one to level six. We set it to level one and were appalled at how fast it already was, even with our 10-lb baby weighing it down. Level six was an extreme safety hazard…. We contacted Graco, and they sent us a new one after we returned this one. Although the new one is a lot slower, it still does seem a little bit too fast. We secure it down with a blanket even on level one so that it doesn’t swing too aggressively. This seems to fix the issue. Not sure if other people had the same issue with their swings. In some review videos I saw, the swings don’t move as aggressively as ours does.Sounds (positives):We love the sound settings on the swing. Our baby especially likes the womb sounds. He doesn’t really seem to like the other ones, but that’s just individual preference. We sometimes leave the womb sounds on when he is sleeping in his crib because that’s how much he likes it. He is not really the type to like music, but the music setting is also really nice with a lot to choose from.Sounds (negative):Wish that the volume on the sounds can be a little bit higher. The non-musical sounds are pretty quiet even on the highest setting. It works well and there’s no ambient noise, but when there’s ambient noise the sound from the swing is drowned out.Set up:Honestly, this is really easy to set up (in my opinion). A lot of people complain that is very difficult, but even without instructions I feel that it is very self intuitive. I am not one to usually set up things, and I still only spent about 5 to 10 minutes setting this up. However, taking this thing down when you have to return it is a huge pain in the butt. So hopefully if you order this, you don’t have any issues that require you to return it.Vibration:The vibration setting is nice if your baby likes vibrations, but it is extremely annoying that you have to put in a new battery every single time. I don’t understand why the swing itself and sounds function by plugging it in, but the vibration setting requires batteries. Batteries are so expensive nowadays. I wish that the vibration setting could also function by plugging it in rather than using batteries.Other:Overall, our baby loves the swing. It really helps me get stuff done around the house as he watches me from the swing. Glad I got this; it really does provide a much needed respite.

Our boy loves it and can spend an hour in it!It does make noise, but it’s not horrible.Assembly was easy, except for the last part, you will need someone to help.

My granddaughter loves this swing

I have gone through 3 of these in the first month of trying to use it. The first one stopped working 3 days in. The motor simply stops swinging the baby seat side to side. It just clicks like it's trying to work but has no power to move the seat with the 9lbs baby in it. I returned that one and bought a 2nd because the reviews were so great. The 2nd one had wiring problems right out of the box. The wires were kinked and frayed so i never even used it. Sent the 2nd one back and now we've had the 3rd one for about 2 weeks. It has been fine but now suddenly it's starting to die off just like the first one. It's on setting 2 of 6 for the swing and as I watch the baby swing back and forth, it's struggling to stay in motion and is literally slowing swinging less and less as I watch it. It's almost as if the chair gets tired after 10 mins of swinging a baby and it decides to slow down and stop. But it's connected to electricity so there's no reason for this performance drop off. If i were running it on batteries it would seem obvious that the batteries are running low, which is probably the best way to describe what's happening except i'm connected to the power in the wall. Another flaw in the design is that the vibration feature of the chair, only works on batteries for some reason. The swing plugs into the wall but the vibration is not wired to electricity so you'll plow through batteries if you use the vibration feature much. All in all, the idea of this chair seems great. But I'm 0-3 so far with experiencing one that's operated acceptably for more than 2 weeks.
