2nd Trimester

Did anyone Register for either of these....?

Graco Sweetpeace shown here.

Starlight Papasan Swing shown here.

I'm torn on which one to get.

I hear the Sweetpeace has a noisy motor and takes up a lot of space but it's supposedly really nice if you get a good one.

The Starlight Papasan is less money, takes up less space but doesn't do as  much as the other one.

Just curious if you heard any reviews on either of these?

Thanks

  • I bought myself the Starlight Papasan swing and am really happy with it.  It's pretty awesome.

  • No, but my sister has the graco sweetpeace.  The thing is a monstrosity and I hate it. My niece never really seemed too into it either.
  • this is a bigger ticket item we will use our coupons and gift cards on so I wanted to make sure either one is worth the money.

    Thanks for the input!

  • We registered for the Starlight but haven't gotten it yet...
  • I looked at the sweetpeace in the store yesterday.  The motor did click loudly and the swing did not seem to have the most swift motion.  I registered for the my little lamb one.

  • The my little lamb one is very similar to the starlight one.  I don't think you will be disappointed.  The lights and canopy were a major selling point for me.

  • I won the Sweetpeace in a raffle.  The motor is a bit noisy, but the music covers it up. 

    *Caveat:  when DH put it together, the motor for the swing didn't work AT ALL.  I looked online and it seems it's not a rare occurence.  I called Graco, and they sent me a new motor that day, which came two days later.  They asked me a few questions, like is it plugged in and such, but I could hear the rep barely paying attention to the answers and typing away in the background setting up the shipout.  So, luckily that was painless....and now that it's working I love it!  Again, I got it for free, and I won't know what the LO thinks until he gets here.

  • I am getting the lil lamb one it is similar to the sweet pea.
  • Hi,

     I haven't registered or bought either swing... my biggest reccomendation is to wait until it is closer to the baby beign born so if he/she doesn't like it you can still return it... (BRU has a 90 day return policy).... My nephew HATED  and I mean HATED his swing... if you walked with him by it he would scream...  My sister said it was the biggest waste of money EVER (for her)... Thankfully, I get her unused swing...

  • We have the Papasan swing, and both of my kids loved it - it was the only thing DD slept in for the first several months. It's also nice because you can fold the feet in, so we kept it stored in a closet when we weren't using it.
  • I will be registering for a papasan swing. I love them and both of my neices have loved them. The sweetpeace just seems like too much.

  • We are torn between the mylittlelamb and the Sweetpeace. I like the features on both and they are very similar. I think we might be going with the my little lamb one tho after hearing about people's motor issues with the Sweetpeace. The pp who said wait until closer to baby arrives has a good point about return policies, i think thats what we will do.Good luck to you!
