Wednesday, October 13, 2010 HABA Airy-Fairy Baby Swing Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We've had this since our boy was 8 months old; he's now 2 1/2. He loves this very sturdy swing--he calls it his "parachute" swing and apparently finds it comfortable, as he wants to stay in it for up to half an hour. There are very solid latches on both sides (the kind used in heavy-duty backpacks) and lots of padding in the seat.

My single complaint is that the padding is so thick that getting him in and out of the swing is a little awkward unless I have a second person to help by holding the front and back of the seat wide open. I need to hoist my child with one arm and use my free hand to wedge the seat open, then wiggle him into the seat, threading one foot through and then the other, then fasten the latches. Once he's in, though, I feel he's very safe, and I am not sure he could get out even if he wanted to given the stiffness of the padding.

The materials are high quality. Ours still looks brand new, though it's spent the last year outside hanging from the roof of our covered porch (we live in New England). All in all, it's been well worth the relatively high price.
