Question about swings.

MadBloom · May 2014

Quick question for you ladies.
I'm currently borrowing a My little snuggabunny swing from a friend. I'll have to give it back in like 7 weeks when she's due with her 2nd.
Penny loves the swing so much. She'll be close to 3 months when I have to return it.
Is it worth buying one at that point? When do babies grow out of their swings? I know the max weight is 25 pounds but I can't imagine a 25 pound baby in a swing.... I can't even imagine a baby that crawls enjoying a swing still.
I just don't want to spend the money if I'm only going to get another month out of it.
Maybe some STMs have some insight?

Not STM but everyone I've talked to says they're good for about the first three months. We'll see if that's true!

If you find you want to buy one, maybe check out craigslist or local consignment shops to get one cheap. We had a friend let us borrow one too and we just washed all the padding in the washing machine and sanitized the hard surface you could do the same with a craigslist or consignment shop find.

I don't remember exactly how long DS used his but definitely more than 3 months, I feel like it was more like 8-9 months

My girlfriend's daughter just outgrew theirs and she's 10mo.

My #1 has been my only one to like the swing but she was done with it when she learned to sit up at 5 months. If youre having more kids, Id buy one

I would buy one.

I would probably not buy one at that point, but I think you just have to wait and see how much you're still relying on it. If it's buying you 20 minutes a day that's saving your sanity, it's probably worth it even if you only use it for a few more weeks.

Thanks Ladies! Since she loves it so much now it seems like I should start looking for our own. We will be having more kids too so it's probably a smart purchase. I was just hoping I could put it off until baby 2. But if she can use it for another 6 months then we will probably get one of our own.
