Does this swing recline enough for a child under 1 year? In the photo it appears to sit rather upright with little recline. Please advise. Thanks!

It doesn't recline. However, it's so well designed my 10 month old grandson slept in it a bit hunched, but loved it. Still does at 18 months, as does his 3 year old big brother! I love the swing!!!

Yes the seat reclines enough and the buckle works great. Its a good buy my little girl loves it. My child is 9 months and she has been using it since 6 months.

My baby has been using this swing since she was 6 months old and not sitting up yet. It has worked fine for us.

I put my 7 month old in it and it works fine. When she is in it the swing sits back plenty. No issues.

I personally wouldn't feel comfortable putting a little baby in this swing unless they have really good head and neck control and can sit up unassisted. While the seat back isn't straight upright, like a chair, the harness isn't very tight; and I could see a little one's head falling forward if they aren't able to hold their head up too well.

yes it works fine. My grandson is 27 lbs and 36 inches long. Started using it at about 28inches.

The bar can be adjusted. Low to higher my daughter started using it @ 18 months. But I think it would have been fine for a 1 year old. I love it so did my daughter. It's very sturdy. My daughter is now 2 weighs 31 lbs and she sits in it.

We bought this for our grandson who is 2 1/2 so we don't want him to twist just yet. His little sister (13 months) also likes to swing on it (lying down). I do think the swing could be hung with the ropes close together so that it could twist. It is very sturdy and we are very happy with it.

I purchased this for my twin girls' 2nd birthday. They loved it. I would think your 1-year-old would be ok in the middle section...or on the end if the other child was very gentle in rocking.

This swing can fit kids in a range of sizes...my 19 month old (30 pounds) will lay on his tummy to swing...my 3 1/2 year old loves to swing on it(54 pounds) and my 8 year old (70 pounds) swings on it too. The 8 year has to be told not to swing too high. So if the child can do a regular sit swing they will be able to do this one. This system is very versatile and you can come up with other things to swing with like a hammock or infant swing if needed. Let me know if you have other questions.

I would be comfortable with my one year old riding in it. It wouldn't be an overly cushy ride but I think if he meets the weight and height requirements and you make sure to install (and fasten him in) properly, it would work. I probably would feel more comfortable with an 18 month old in it, but I think it would work for a 1 year old and be safe.

I think it would depend on the child's height. Some of the attachments may be too short. (Particularly the rope and rings) The swing should be okay though.

My son was probably 9 months old when I got it and it worked fine. I don't believe it reclines all the way down though. I agree, you would potentially need to add blankets or towels to avoid the head from moving side to side.

No! Our swing gets used daily by several kids at the same time. They love to stand on the edge in a circle all facing the middle. Our swing usually sees 5-7 kids between 5-10 years old at one time. I have also laid across the swing with two other children. Great swing!

I started using this once she was over one year. I used a different Graco infant carrier from 0-1yr. The babies do sort of lie down/prop up in an infant carrier. Once transitioned to this carseat, she sits with her back fairly straight. It is not as straight as she will be once she's in a booster seat with no backing, but I wouldn't not consider this reclined like the infant carrier. She has never complained about this seat. She seems very comfortable and I feel safe with it.

I'd say ideal for 1 year old with all pieces, but some pieces will need to be removed as kids get older in order for them to fit. My 4 year old likes to use it still, but only without the child restraints and the umbrella. (it is basically a trike with a parent handle at this point)

my baby boy is 7 months old and we just had to put the fisher price nature's touch swing in the basement and retire it... he's sitting up now and would try to reach up and touch the rotating animals and leaves at the top of the mobile area - he would also use his stomach muscles to tryto pull himself upwards and out of the swing. so i think once your baby is big enough to sit up, then you've outgrown the usefulness of a swing. my son was 17 pounds when we retired his swing and i was getting nervous with him in it (even though he was always strapped in) that something could go wrong...

Yes, the top of the seat to floor is approx. 9 inches. Should not be a problem for a 1 year old.

I think you could def use it on a 1 year old based on their size and that it reclines however if you still have the child rear facing then I don't think you can you the click tight technology. If they are front facing then absolutely. My son is 3 1/2 and only 30 pounds lol

Yes my grand daughter loves this swing. this is very secure for a newborn she is now 8 months old and still uses it so it will fit him for a while. Good luck

Ours doesn't recline at all. This is really good for traveling so you don't have to carry the child, but definitely not really for sleeping.

A 1 year old, no matter how much they weigh, should still be rear facing, a 25lb child, no matter how old they are, should also still be rear facing, so, no, you should not use this for a 25lb 1 year old.
