Swing for Big Babies

Amy Schramm

DS weighs like 16 pounds and I'm noticing that my Fisher-Price papasan swing doesn't swing as fast as it used to. ?DS usually has one nap a day (his last nap) in the swing so this is a big problem. ?Is there something wrong with the swing or is this what happens when your baby weighs more? ?I do notice that when I take him out, it swings alot faster. ?

If it is an issue of him being heavier, are there swings for bigger babies? ??

The swing is slower b/c of his heavy weight.  We initially just pushed the swing ourselves b/c at first even the lowest setting was too much.  Sorry, not sure about other swings.  We have the FP nature's touch papasan - possibly swings that are made for sitting up and not papasan are made for bigger older babies.

My FP Rainforest still swings great for my 20 pounder!
