Portable or Small Swing?

We bought the tiny fisher price swing 5 years ago with my first daughter, and she loathed it. We had much better luck with the big, hideously awkward swings with the twins. I wish I had a better answer for you. Good luck!

I say small swing, I bought a portable swing with my first child and she just didnt fit in it and didnt really care for it, so the one thing i needed to have with # 2 was a bigger swing. I tried on at a friends house and loved it, ran into one at a garage sale this summer. Storing is great it folds in half and the carrier portion comes out for easy storage! Good luck here is the one i got this summer and cant wait to use with #2 this winter http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3732249

We borrowed the FP aquarium swing from friends and we liked it a lot better than the big swing (that we hardly ever used) that we had with my older son. It was nice that I could take it outside on a nice day. I don't know if I would have paid full price for it myself, but I thought it was a really nicely made swing with flexible, easy-to-use features.

Hi A.:

I completely understand wanting a small swing. I felt like the toys added up so quickly for our little guy.

We had the boppy travel swing at my parents and it worked fine. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3393696 Although, as you could imagine, the options on the smaller swing were fewer than a larger swing. (Less range of motion, only one swinging direction, less interactive mobile and fewer music options.)

Hope this helps.

We have a bright starts one that we bought to leave at my in-laws in florida. it works great. our neighbors have the boppy one, and they like it.

Unless you have a teensy tiny baby, avoid the Fisher Price Precious Planet take-along swing. It is SMALL - you'll probably realize that when you see it in stores. We found the FP Aquarium swing worked better for us.
