Did anyone find this more/less useful than a swing? Or do most people have both? Live in a small apt and trying to save space...

More useful than a swing. Can be used to feed too if you can catch them between bounces. Our twin grandchildren loved theirs.

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.

It takes up a lot of space even though the leg extensions can be easily collapsed so they are together instead of extended. Travel type swings are a lot less bulky but my babies never liked them.

The back support is decent if you're just sitting, not great if you're more active though. The chair takes up some space when stowed. I personally wouldn't want to tuck it into a corner of the living room because it's not compact enough but you might have more space than I do. I don't see it as a "daily use" kind of thing. Great for dragging to the park once every couple of weeks but not great for dragging around daily.

My sister and I set it up and break it down all the time. It is wonderful....BUT unless you are on the very top bleacher, you will be blocking the view of everyone behind/around you. Also, you might find it heavy and awkward to lug around?

It's not convenient to move. It is awkward. But the two legs do go together. We move it about 2-3 times a week. Usually for dinner or if we have company we will move it to the dinning room. I still love this swing. My daughter still loves it. It's the only way she will take a nap not being in my arms. I would buy this product again and I would 100% recommend this swing to a friend.

I have had it for half a year and still love it. I am over 200lbs and have no issue with multiple family members swinging at once. Also, with three little kids, it gets jumped on a bit and I have had no issues. Remember it is 100% self assembly, so be sure everything is put together correctly and tightly and you should be good.

hmmmmm........good question..............I honestly haven't used it much as we were at the end of the season for playing outdoor venues when I purchased it. We are playing tonight and I plan to set it up..................I can check that out.

I also like the swing. Mine hangs from a horizontal metal pole that I had someone put up in the back yard garden. Just figure on needing a cushion for the seat (the back is fine) because there's no sitting on those metal rods. I added swing springs for a little give.

Hi Catherine, was wondering if you ended up getting this to hang from a swing set? If so, does it work? I'm looking to put it on a Backyard Adventure playset to replace a bucket swing, not sure if it works...

I think having two separate ones offers more flexibility down the road if you have the space for both. We ended up getting this as a gift. We loved it the first several months next to the bed, but we ended up borrowing a second normal pack and play for traveling until they were about three.

Unfortunately, no. It would be too uncomfortable for the swings. Not too heavy.

No it doesn't. This swing takes up a lot of space and is rather difficult to move from place to place. If it's going to be in a stationary spot that fine. I needed something to move from room to room and wished I would have purchased a different, more mobile swing.

Folds up super easy. I like mine folded up in the garage when not in use... and it doesn't take but a minute to do.

please! if you have small children or big ones do not use this type of ladder, it is not stable enough, this is made for above ground pools not swing slides, there is no way to anchor this. if you do!! And somebody gets hurt or seriously injured then you will have to live with this, do you think it's worth the risk? check with the company who make swing sets and they can steer you in the right direction, besides the weight limit on this ladder is approximately 300 lbs if I were you I would not risk it.

Every baby is different. Newborns will be fine in it, but mine did not like being in a swing in general. It has been worth the investment for me personally because after about 3 months, our baby started to like it and we used it a lot. Compared to other swings, it is very affordable and I loved that I could pack it up and take it places.

This rocker is a good replacement for a bouncer. I am not sure about swing. Due to space constraint I did not look for a swing and I dont miss it.

I'm sorry I can't help you with this. I have only used it for an adult swing. I might mention, tho, that it can be somewhat unstable if you swing vigorously.
