Fisher-price deluxe take-along swing and seat

[dreemkin]

Does anyone else have this? DD2 loves to swing and our graco one broke (used it with DD1). Since the fp one had music and vibration too we got it. Our first one stopped swinging. Thinking it was just a bum one we exchanged it for a new one. Well this one just stopped too. What's the deal? Any suggestions or thoughts on how to fix this thing? Thinking of returning it for the graco one. I'm so frustrated and annoyed!

When is it not swinging? Does it stop when LO is in there? Or does it stop swinging without LO in the seat?

I haven't had much luck with the graco one I got (I'll post a link below). Ours worked for one day. I then spent weeks trying to get either babies r us or graco to exchange it. the reviews online on bru were ok, but the graco website (when I looked into it further) were atrocious.

I have a similar one from fp and the swing function is also not so great. It so works but i have to help out get started, and if LO moves too much it doesn't have the power to keep swinging. Hmpf!!!

Looking at it now, this looks a lot different than what you had, but just in case, here's the link.

(Probably not much help now that I realized different types of swings...sorry!)

It is inconsistent or stops all together when she's in it. Haven't tried it without her. Going to do that. I also emailed fp's customer service (not available to phone). Hopefully they can help. It's an 80 dollar swing... it should work as intended grr.

We have this swing and it works great! DS used to sleep in it all of the time. It does not vibrate but, it has 8 speeds and will play with or without music. We have used it quite a bit and haven't changed the batteries yet.

Yeah that is irksome. I know it needs weight in it to run. A friend returned two after testing them and they didn't work. When the 3rd didn't work she put some weight in it and it swung which is why I asked. I know that it is prone to stop if her blanket is dragging the floor. It like that it is so compact in size but DD isn't a fan of it and I haven't found it to work that great.
