Swing help needed!!!

Samantha Thomas

We have the original Fisher Price Natures Touch Papasan Swing and I think it died today   I'll be buying another one asap b/c G will only sleep in his swing or carseat.  What is your baby swing rec?  Is the Fisher Price Starlight Papasan (I think that is the name) any good?  Also this swing is only 3.5 years old but was only used when N was a baby and for the last two months.  Is that the average "age" for one to die or should it have lasted longer?

I have the same swing as you do.  the star light one just has those stars and netting. my understanding is that they are the same swing otherwise.

I have been told for fisher price swings the motors do go out.  You can call Fisher Price and get a new one for under $40 but then you would have to wait for it to be shipped.  I do know 2 people who had the swing you want and both motors started to smoke and fisher price wont do anything for them so they got the Graco sweet peace but they cost alot.  You can use an car seat on it as well when you travel.  Other then that I hear alot of good things about all Graco swings

Mine lasted me for 12 months non stop use between the 2 kids. I sold it and the lady that bought it used it for 3 months non stop...then sold it to someone else.

I would call FP. If they make you get a new one. I would buy the one that plugs into the wall. I swear we spent more on batteries then on the damn swing!

We used this for Jake, he slept in it ALL the time. Also, it goes up to 30lbs!!This one was recommended to me from a mom who's child ONLY slept in the swing... I LOVE this thing.

Good luck!
