Graco SnugGlider Swing holds SnugRide Infant Car SeatMust have
Love this gadget, so does my baby. Doesn't take up much space, relative to other swings. I store the car seat on it when both items are not in use. Does make a clicking noise, but baby gets use to it, it becomes white noise to him after awhile. The only downside is that although there is a dial to set your speed, it will only work on the high setting. The weight of the baby at the lower setting will put the swing mechanism off track and would need to be reset. For the price and size, worth it and highly recommended.
Great concept, poor performance!
This is our first baby and I researched everything we even considered buying. I tend to take negative reviews with a grain of salt and was excited about this product. We just received this swing frame as a gift and I put it together right away and tried it out. We have a Graco Snugride carseat and my 7 week old baby is 11 lbs. This product folds up well for travel, which is one of the main reasons we registered for it. The vibration (2 settings) and music/nature sounds work well. You can adjust the speed which is nice. The problem with it is the motor simply cannot keep up. You can hear and see the problem. The motor works hard to keep up and the swing would go faster at times then slow way down - which startled my sleeping baby. It actually kept a more consistent pace before I put the batteries in and just pushed the seat with my son in it. If Graco put a more appropriate sized motor in it, I would definitely recommend this product. Until then, mine is getting returned.
Wonderful,
I love this product, I like how my car seat is the swing. It had a lot of pieces to put together but fairly easy. I like that it folds to save space, and makes it easy to travel. Putting my baby in the swing was the first time I got him to sleep for more then 4 hours in the night. I still haven't needed to change the batteries in the swinger, the bouncy part never worked on mine, and I've been to busy to get that fixed. But it's a great option.
Would Buy Again and Again!
Having already had a small, cute Pooh travel swing for my first daughter that was a PIECE OF JUNK; I took a chance and ordered this frame for my second daughter. I was SUPER pleased with this product. My car seat fits right in it no problem (Graco Snugride) and it looks cute. It is a piece of cake to use and the power is unbelievable. I don't have all the problems with the batteries that others do, though; because I use rechargeable batteries throughout my house. I have two sets for the swing and when one dies, I pop the other set in while I charge it up. Works great. I LOVE THIS SWING! It is WONDERFUL!
Great for idea for small apartments!
My little one will not stay in his car seat without crying unless there is movement. I really wanted to have a swing for him but due to limited space I thought that this was not possible. Then I saw this and since the car seat has to go somewhere this seemed the perfect place to put it. I found it very easy to assemble and love the fact it will collapse down and I can throw it in the car with everything else if I am going to see someone that doesn't have a baby themselves. The motor is on the noisy side but that doesn't seem to bother my little one. But this is the reason I only gave it four stars. I have to say that this is working for me so far. Today my Little One managed to stay in his car seat asleep for 45 minutes before waking after getting back in the house. So it has given me time to get things sorted after getting home before having to sort him out. Also I can get him ready before I go out and set the swing going without having to worry about him getting upset while I finish getting me ready. Also it does offer a very convenient place to store the car seat and the frame doesn't take up to much room even when up and of course if I have the need for space I can just collapse it down and store it away. I would recommend this product for those who need a swing but have limited space or who need a swing that will transport without too much problem.
