Wednesday, October 27, 2010 Fisher-Price Power-Plus Plug-In Swing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We received this swing as a gift for our twins and two years later it's still in great condition and the best swing I've encountered.I was a bit surprised by the complaints in the other reviews - as far as the speeds go, it's not any different than the other dozens of swings I've had experience with (Day care, church nurseries).If you drape a blanket over a swing, it's probably going to slow down!I have the model before this, but I've loved it.

1.I liked the "blah" colors - ours is the "jungle" theme - tan and burgundy.It blended with our other living room colors instead of the obnoxiously loud typical baby colors.

2.Love, love that it plugs in.The songs are a nice variety from "Simple Gifts/Lord of the Dance" to "Twinkle, twinkle".

3.Fabric has held up to multiple yucky accidents and washings - hasn't faded, no pillage at all.The mesh pockets on the side are nice for holding toys.

4.The tray I didn't use for the first 6 months, just buckled them in but it was very handy afterwards for their snacks, cup, etc.I used a head support pillow (average ones you buy at the store) for the first few months and that worked excellently.

5.One of the things I love the most about it is that it's taller than most swings sold nowadays.My twins at 33 inches still fit comfortably in it without their feet dragging!

All in all, I've loved this swing and it's in great condition (despite the typical toddler boy abuse) for the next baby 3 years later.My kids have loved it, but I've also babysat infants who didn't like it- babies have preferences!Other types of swings have their benefits (cradle types, portables, etc) but this is a great swing that can grow with baby over the first year - or longer.
