Can the swing be used for newborns?

I think yes. Maybe with a little extra head support from a rolled blanket. I didn't buy this until my baby was 4 weeks old. He's 11 weeks now and uses it every day.
1553568
Yes, I believe so. We started at 3 weeks, but I suppose it depends on the size of the newborn.
1553569
Yes, as long as you have a towel or something rolled up amd placed around the infants head to support their neck and head, just as you would for a car seat. This is a must have for any new parent.

Yes. It has a calming effect on my granddaughter. It is really nice to be able to move it around in the house, because it is light weight.

I think a newborn would be fine in this swing as long as you put the swing speed on low. The weight in the swing is what determines how fast the swing will go on any set speed. Being a lighter weight baby with a newborn thus it will go much slower. It's such a great size as you're not always tripping over the legs or base and is very portable to move from room to room. It can even be set on a table, counter or coffee table as long as they are stable and with adult supervision. If you have pets and you don't want the baby down on the floor by them you have the option of moving this swing up on something as long as you don't leave them unsupervised. I bought this swing for my now 3-1/2 month old grandson and have used it before that. I don't advise using it as a bed for a baby, but they certainly can take a nap in it as long as you are there. It's universal for either a boy or a girl and a great little swing with the Fisher-Price name behind it.

Yes.Have been using it since he came home from the hospital. We didn't use the overhead toy bar until he was about 4 weeks. He is 10 weeks now and loves the swinging with the toys attached.

My granddaughter is two so we didn't get the infant swing. Also my son set the swing set up where it only gets partial sun so it doesn't get hot. The swing set is very well made and my granddaughter loves it. Swings are adjustable so she will be using it until she is 6 or 7.

Yes, the carseat clicks into the stroller. the stroller alone should not be used for newborns.

Yes. As i recall, newborns have pretty specific stroller requirements. A newborn would be swimming in this thing and not strapped in safely.

I think it depends on your preference and what you think your baby will like. I didnt have a swing this time around because it wasnt that useful with my first baby. This chair came in handy when I wanted to shower or do something. I would put the baby in it an turn on the vibration which soothed her. She also liked when I would bounce her in it. I must say that she didnt like too long in it. By 8 months, she was out of it but now at 14 months, she plays with it. It doesnt take up much space.

I use it less than my swing, but I think it depends on your baby's preference. My first preferred this over the swing. However, my second prefers the swing over this.

Yes you can. It just hooked into the rings for the swing. However, I will say it doesn't swing very high. It was hard for my kids to get it to go back and forth much. After a few weeks of trying, the kids wanted the regular swing back on and this now sits in our garage. I have 3 kids ages 4, 7, and 9.

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.

Depends on the age of the child I would guess. Ours is used by a newborn so no. But once she is more mobile then maybe

Sorry, I can't answer that my grandson is only 2 months old. But so far so good. According to my daughter and son-in-law, the gliding swing is a sanity saver.

No I would not put a newborn in this stroller. There is no back support for them and the recline is not enough.

Yes! My son put a baby swing on one and left the regular swing on the other.

Yes, we use this swing in our church nursery and seat cover can be taken off and washed. Yes, you can also swing manually with your hand. Worth every penny. Great swing!

It will work for a newborn, my son was a giant when born so I think that was also a factor as to why it would just stop working. It will not rock over night. So, if that's something your looking for I suggest a pluggable swing.

I wouldn't use this for a newborn. You can lay the back down all the way and buckle the baby in but it is better if they can hold their head up.

I would say yes. I had two bigger babies and still used it until close to three months, just so they would not slip and slide down the swing. They slept better with the insert!

I would recommend the swing for between 2 months and 1 to 2 years. The top is debatable based on how big your child is because it is rated for up to 30 lbs.
