It wasn't very fast and I can't remember if it was an auto-shut off, but I loved it for thee space saving features. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670216 Sun, 25 Dec 2016 17:59:09 +0000 kayla0416 2670216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We registered for and received this one and loved it: <a href="http://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-deluxe-take-along-swing-seat-saturn-snuggle/-/A-16343645" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-deluxe-take-along-swing-seat-saturn-snuggle/-/A-16343645</a>.<br /> It's small, so it takes up very little space, no auto shutoff, and inexpensive. It was an absolute lifesaver for months 0-3. We didn't do night sleep in it, but she got in a solid 3 hour nap every day which kept me sane - time to shower, eat a meal, do chores, and/or nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670114 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 19:49:01 +0000 PinkElephant 2670114@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: It doesn't...I've never had/seen a swing that does! Our batteries last quite awhile though, and I've got two preschoolers who love to turn the darn thing on/off (and often leave it on) - we use rechargeables. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670091 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 16:38:52 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2670091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: you can turn the seat on the snuggabunny/puppy/monkey etc so it swings either front to back or side to side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670090 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 16:38:41 +0000 thepicklemonster 2670090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same one that @Peaches1038 posted and my 12 week old LO loves it. It has no auto-shutoff. Couldn't live without it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670085 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 15:33:15 +0000 Goldengirl 2670085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I for some reason couldn't find the info when googling!<br /> @oliviaoblivia: Are all the "snuggas' the same? And they swing forward and back vs side to side?<br /> @PinkElephant: Does it have the option to plug in?</p> <p>I'm also concerned about space because I have very limited floor space and most of these swings are huge! Thats why I got the Mamaroo which I like but he seems to like the really fast swing forward/backward motion which the Mamaroo doesn't do since it's more of a rocking motion. So picky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670083 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 15:17:57 +0000 peaches1038 2670083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had this one.nit goes super fast, we never turned it higher than 3 and it goes to 6. It was also nice because it has two levels of recline and can be turned to swing side to side or back and forth. Also the seat can be taken off and used as a bouncer. Oh and it can be plugged in so you're not constantly going through batteries. Highly<br /> Recommend it! </p> <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Graco-DuetSoothe-Swing-Rocker-Winslet/dp/B00AO084CW/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482610479&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=Graco+duet+swing" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Graco-DuetSoothe-Swing-Rocker-Winslet/dp/B00AO084CW/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482610479&#038;sr=8-1&#038;keywords=Graco+duet+swing</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670076 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 14:31:13 +0000 PinkElephant 2670076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have another FP swing (one of the Spacesaver ones) - it goes really high and fast, particularly if the baby is light.....only shuts off when you've drained the batteries. Agree with a previous poster that they just change the "styles" every year...it's basically the same swing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670073 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 14:10:52 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2670073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two snuggabunnies.<br /> No auto shut off they go forever.</p> <p>I don't know if it's discontinued but they make a new snuggawhatever each year.<br /> Make sure you get the plug in one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670063 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 13:36:29 +0000 FaithFertility 2670063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Goldengirl: we have the snugapuppy and I do not think it has a 90 minute shut off, I guess you could google that? </p> <p>It goes pretty fast when on high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670059 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 13:16:01 +0000 MrsSRS 2670059@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BGVLQ9A/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482603169&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=graco+glider+swing&#038;pi=SY200_QL40" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01BGVLQ9A/ref=mp_s_a_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&#038;qid=1482603169&#038;sr=8-3&#038;keywords=graco+glider+swing&#038;pi=SY200_QL40</a></p> <p>I had this one. It glides which is a little bit of a different motion, but it is fast, doesn't have an auto off, and mine had a plug for the wall so I didn't have to worry about battery life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670051 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 11:43:27 +0000 Waterbaby 2670051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not sure about the auto shutoff but we had the Snug a puppy swing and loved it. I could consistently get a 3 hour nap when my son was younger. It was amazing! Sleep is important :happy:</p> <p>ETA- we originally got it from a friend but it broke shortly after- we ended up buying another at local kids consignment store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-swings#post-2670047 Sat, 24 Dec 2016 11:25:18 +0000 Goldengirl 2670047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does anyone know of a swing that a)swings fast and b)doesn't have automatic shutoff after 90 minutes? My LO is currently napping in an Ingenuity swing at my parents' and it seems to be doing the trick... he is fussy/refluxy and wakes up a ton and sleeps terribly unless being held. But the really fast motion (it's on full speed!) seems to lull him back to sleep. However, it turns off after 90 minutes. I wanted to test it out for nighttime sleep to see if he can go a good stretch but wondering if swings exist without the auto shutoff or if they all have it for safety? (Also I know some people think sleeping in a swing is a no-no but at this point I just want my baby to sleep and have been told by his doc it's okay!)</p> <p>I had initially been looking at the Snugabunny swing, but am not sure if it has the auto shutoff... also, it says on Amazon it's been discontinued. Anyone know why?</p> <p>TIA! </p>
