Comments about Graco Swing and Bounce 2-in-1 Infant Swing - Broadstreet:

We borrowed this from a friend that wasn't using it.We started my son in it right away to get use to it. My son does fine in the swing. It entertains him for a bit and eventually he can fall asleep in it. The bouncer is great for him to sit in while I need to do some house work or get ready for the day. We have a small apartment so every little space is important. I like that it's two things in one. However, The mirror and hanging animals on the arch above him doesn't really do anything. It is too far up and the seat doesn't lay back far enough for him to even notice them. The two toys that are on the tray can be taken off, but they are not that entertaining either.
The vibration on the seat is great, the speeds for the swing are great, the sounds are ok.

Comments about Graco Swing and Bounce 2-in-1 Infant Swing - Broadstreet:

i love the 2 in 1 feature that is why i am purchasing it! fabric matches the play yard i am also getting and i love it! i like that you can detach and reattach the bouncer to the swing! A swing and bouncer separate are both on the pricey side and the 2 in 1 is perfect for the price!!

Comments about Graco Swing and Bounce 2-in-1 Infant Swing - Broadstreet:

We have a small house, so I love the fact that this is two products in one. My daughter loves the vibrating chair, we use it every day. I put her in it and can easily transport her from room to room with me. I also enjoy that the swing has a white noise feature, it calms her down instantly. The pattern is cute and gender neutral. The only problem we had was that the two Mix 'n Move toys were not included in the box. I called Graco and they were very helpful; they're sending us replacement toys.

Comments about Fisher-Price Smart Stages 3 in 1 Swing & Rocker:

My newborn loves to be held and rocked! She loves the swing and it gives my arms a break! While she's sleeping in it, I can get things done around the house. The only thing is that I wish this swing had head support.

Comments about Fisher-Price Smart Stages 3 in 1 Swing & Rocker:

I recieved this from the inlaws. It was very thoughtful and looked cute, but when I opened it and put it together I was so impressed. It was very easy to put together, just follow the directions and you'll be good. I wish there was a bit more support for the head or the body it all seems flimsy. There isnt any support at all. It doesnt seem compfortable either. I am still pregnant so I dont know how the baby feels about it. I noticed though that some swings it cradles them more than this one does. This seems good if you have a big baby and it is a three and one so it should be good as a chair or rocker. Im just not that impressed with it though. I want something more for a newborn, and this doesnt seem practical to me. Im debating on bringing it back. It just needs that extra something. Oh and the fabric is cheap.

Pros:Easy to Construct, Entertaining
Cons:Seat sits up too high
Best Uses:Older infants
Describe Yourself:Grandparent
Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about Fisher-Price Smart Stages 3 in 1 Swing & Rocker:

we purchased this swing as a second for my grandaughter. she is 7 weeks old and finds the seat a little uncomfortable.she does sit in it when she is in a good mood, but not to fall asleep like with her swing downstairs. i thought it would be more portable,(the whole swing) than it is. i would recommend this swing for an older baby,i can't wait to use other pieces.

Pros:Durable, Easy To Clean
Cons:Bulky, Few Neat Features
Best Uses:Infants, Newborn

Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Comments about Fisher-Price Smart Stages 3 in 1 Swing & Rocker:

I purchased this swing because my son was pretty big and we needed one with a high weight limit. This swing was great and I like that we are still able to use parts of it after he has outgrown the swing. This swing is great on battery usage. I think I changed the batteries maybe twice in 5 months+ of usage. It is very easy to set up and clean. It is a bit bulky for travel but it is great if you plan on keeping it in one place.
