Fisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along Swing

We had another take-along swing that was very similar to this one for my first daughter. She loved it, and so when that one finally died (it had been passed down to me from another family), we got this… Aquarium take-along swing. And now my 2nd daughter is really enjoying it. She loves to look at the lights and I think it's great that she can reach the hanging toys and turn on the music herself (a feature that a lot of other swings don't have). The handle bar on top is a little higher than our first take-along swing, which is just perfect for being able to take her out without hitting her head (which did happen sometimes with the first swing). Plus, it doesn't take up much space and it's easy to move from room to room if needed.

The first swing I received was defective and I didn't realize until it was basically all put together. Taking it apart was a MAJOR pain! My husband had to unscrew things that had come already assembled to… be able to take it apart. The 2nd one we got looked fine. After it was put together we noticed when it was at speed 8 it went slower then speed 7. 8 is supposed to be the fastest and was more like 1. Maybe I just got 2 bad ones of this swing, but either way, I'm not getting a 3rd to find out!

We didn't get a swing for our baby shower and at first I was going to buy one. Then a friend gave me this swing as a "hand me down" after using it with TWINS (double the use). At first it sat in our garage… until one day I was desperate and pulled it out. Our child LOVES this swing. When he is in it he cannot take his eyes off the lights. Now he is old enough to pull the toys and make the lights and music go himself. While awake this swing amuses him greatly, however he ALWAYS ends up falling asleep in it. I love the size- I can easily sit down on floor and face him to interact. I can easily move it from room to room without banging up the walls. When we have people over or are traveling it folds up and becomes compact. I am now purchasing a 2nd one so we can bring one to grandma's house. I highly recommend this for every reason but mostly the lights and music that my son seems to be entranced with. It does go thru batteries alot...but we use it alot. If it came with a plug it would get 10 stars!
