    We kept them in swings until they were around 6 or 7m old.  Don't worry about the length, just pay attention to the weight.

    Ours will be 6 months next week and we just put the swings away because they decided they hated them *SOB*.

    Now, if I need to set a baby down somewhere, I'll put them in their crib with a toy, on the playmat on the floor, or in their highchair. Or if I want them to be really distracted, the jumperoo or exersaucer. :)

    My girls were about the same age as your LOs when they didn't want to be in the swings anymore.  They still liked their bouncy seats, especially when we faced them toward each other or gave them something interesting to look at.  We also introduced a playmat/baby gym at that point, and they would lay under that thing for quite a while.  Bumbos were good at this point too, it helped them get nice and strong, but they were only in them for short periods of time at first.  We did lots of tummy time on the floor with toys too.  Closer to 4 months we started them for a short while in the Jenny Jump Up and Exersaucer too.  We'd rotate them among these things - we called it circuit training.  I'd imagine you could get one of each thing and just play musical baby entertainers :)

    ETA: We borrowed or bought used all of the things because in the grand scheme of things they are used for such a short period of time.

    Don't worry about the length, it the weight you really look at! Brady was in his swing until 7 months when he started sitting up! I believe the twins were a little over 6 months!

    DS1 sat up around 5.5 months and the twins started sitting up around 7 months.  Hopefully they're sitting up when they outgrow them.

    Our girls will be 6 months in a couple days and they still nap in their swings on the weekends.  Im going to be very sad when they outgrow them weight wise!!
    Love my girls!!
