Show me your Bouncer & Swing

NastyAnnie · February 2010

So, we're winding down the baby buying, and although I have a bouncer and a travel swing, I am thinking we might use the completion coupon to trade these models in for something of a little bit higher quality.

Show me your bouncer and/or swing, and tell me why you love it!

We don't have ours yet, but we are registered for the FP Little Lamb swing and bouncy seat. We registered for it because it looks so soft and cuddly and is gender neutral (in case we have a little boy one day). Baby Bargains also recommends FP and Graco swings.

Graco Sweetpeace Swing

I love that it swings to the side and the front. I heard good recommendations about it so that's the one we ended up getting.

We have the FP Little Lamb bouncer and swing- so freaking cute! I posted earlier tonight about the swing being a little loud, but a few posters suggested putting something in it to give it a little weight. Worked like a charm!

NastyAnnie · February 2010

I have a FP travel swing and bouncy seat.. but neither of them seem very comfy. They don't have a lot of cushion, and the reviews are mostly good but not totally. I am starting to wonder if something with some more padding might be better for a tiny Hitchhiker new to the world..

Graco Sweetpeace Swing

We got this one also; for the reasons listed and because it's not in garish colors like many swings are. We also got Boppy's travel swing, mostly because I wanted something small that I could set LO in and see him while I'm in the shower, and again I liked the more neutral colors.

We got the My Little Lamb swing. Haven't used it yet, but I'm really excited to! I liked the fact that you could switch up the direction the seat swings from front to back to side to side. Also, it's pretty tall, so it keeps LO out of reach of the critters, which is a must here.

This is my swing, we love it because my son HATED swinging the regular back and fourth...we tried our friends swing like this and our son loved it! Also..it reclines right back like a little bed..so cozy!

This is our bouncer...our son loved it also. The lights and the animals move on it, which he would get pretty excited about. He could also use it up to a big weight ( he was 24 lbs at 6 months and still could use it).

Good luck, hope you find something for your babe!

Sorry, I can't PIP, but I had originally registered for the FP Little Lamb swing, but during a recent trip to Target, I saw the new Bright Starts swing and bouncer and fell in love with the look. I also added the PNP that is in the same family. Hope they work well!!

This is the line that I am getting all excited about! I saw them a few weeks ago in American Baby, and then tonight on Target.com... and I really like them a lot. I didn't know the history of the company though; have you heard good things about Bright Starts?

I just love this line too!! I haven't read or heard anything either way, but this brand has toys that a lot of people use. The website is pretty cool though with demos and everything! I can't wait!

Do you know when they are supposed to be available? I am thinking I am going to take the swing, bouncer, and highchair I have back (we are getting a hand-me-down High Chair and don't need ours) to Target and use the store credit + completion coupon to get a swing and bouncer.

Did you see the full size swing in person? I am trying to figure out whether we should get a full size swing or a travel one. We live in a tiny apartment, but I want something that's going to last a while and have some umph, you know?

LuvMyBostons · February 2010

Hmm...IDK when they will be available. I just figured they would be out by April (my EDD). The full size swing is pretty big, they had it next to the little lamb one and it looked a tad bigger than it, so you might want to go with the travel one if space is an issue. My cousin had a travel swing (FP brand I think) and it still had plenty of oomph. Do you know if your Target will put the new stuff on display soon?

NastyAnnie · February 2010

No clue! The website said the stuff should be available in 2-4 weeks. I am hoping for closer to 2 than 4... I'd like to get it home and put together before HH gets here! Lol

LuvMyBostons · February 2010

Yeah, I hear ya! I want it to all be set up for when we get home with LO. Hopefully it will come out sooner than later! You'll have to let me know how it works if you end up getting it!

NastyAnnie · February 2010

I most certainly will!

I love that mine is a two in one! Our friends baby has used it a few times and was very happy in it. The only thing sorta annoying is the tray really snaps into place lol.

We got the FP My little lamb swing https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3090973 and the FP Turtle Days Bouncer https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3924267. I originally registered for the FP Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing, but it seemed like the My little lamb swing got better reviews and looked more comfy, so we went with that. As far as the bouncer goes I kept changing my mind, but once they came out with the Turtle Days Bouncer, I thought that it was really cute, so stuck with that. It is new, so it doesn't have any reviews yet, but I'm hoping it works out good!

lulupinkerton · February 2010

This is the swing. I got a smokin' deal over the holiday. Kohls had it down to $90.

we got the graco sweet peace swing...got an amazing deal on it too...found it at the target baby sale for $59!

Samsmyboy · February 2010

Anne - you've heard my story/issues, but for everyone else here it is:

My LO is 2 months. My sister got us the Sweet Peace Soother. I thought it would be awesome...WRONG! As a NB, he was too small for it, and the swinging scared him. It was too fast even on the lowest setting. It's also really loud and pretty big (it's bigger than our rocker glider) After 2 months of using the swing as a seat, DS is now liking the swinging motion. As a NB it didn't matter what direction he was facing, he would just scream and scream. I don't recommend it.

Also, we didn't get a bouncer. I kind of wish that we had. We are now looking into jumpers because DS LOVES to jump.
