Graco Classic Swing

We bought this swing on Tuesday after initially going to the baby shop to buy a cot! We couldn't find one we both agreed on and as my little girls still quite happy in her crib we bought her a swing instead! We chose this one as it was lovely and bright and at only £59.95 a bargain too, there were only 3 in the shop, this one, one for £79.95 and one for £99.95!! The only difference I could find between the 3 were the fact that the cheaper one was a 'wind-up' type and all the others ran off batteries. I don't see this as a problem myself as after winding the swing up, there is a marker on the top showing how long it is lasting for and when it ...  Read the complete review

When I had Charlotte she had colic for the first 12 weeks of her life 24/7. (A right laff that was!!) We used to spend hours holding and rocking her. One of her favourite times was when we used to put her in her car seat and rock it – it really calmed her down. Unfortunately I now have forearms like Popeye because she and the car seat together were very heavy! When Ciaran started to get colic I was dreading the thought of all that rocking again. If only someone would make a swing that you could switch on and let it rock your baby for you. Well as luck would have it Graco have! They have saved my life (and the muscles in my arms!)

We were fortunate to be living in the USA when our first child was born 7 years ago. Baby Swings, wind up or the battery version were in common use in every American home. I would recommend any new mum to purchase one of these, as a valuable to addition to the Nursery. Matthew spent many a happy hour swinging away, giving me just enough time to get on with the little jobs in life. Now 3 children later, the swing is still in use having being borrowed by many friends and family. It was compact enough to come apart and travel in Hand Luggage on many a trip abroad. I know people look and think is is worth the £60-£80, but I can't emphasise enough the relief that ...  Read the complete review

My husband went to our local BabisRUs for Nappies and wipes and came back with a Graco wind up swing – send a man shopping! Well in this instance it was a great buy and has been well used ever since. I was finding it difficult feeding my twin girls at the time as they were to small just to feed in their bouncy chairs (like I do now – a bottle in each hand) so I was having to feed them one at a tine and the other would often cry impatiently. When my husband bought the swing I put one in the swing and fed the other – turn about and it kept them happy. The swing itself is comfortable and suitable from quite a young age (ours are nine ...  Read the complete review

My daughter first tried her graco wind-up swing when she was two months old and was beaming with smiles as soon as we set the swing going. The only problem was that the even the slow speed was much to fast for her so we had to gently rock her ourselves. The toy bar in front of her was just right to hook her favourite toy Larry onto so that she could 'talk' to him as she went. The harness was quite easy to do up around her but it wasn't as easy to get her in as you had to get her past the top bar and also her legs through the leg holes at the same time. It was very much a precision thing at first but practise made perfect until we had to get her out ...  Read the complete review
