I found someone selling one in like new condition on craigslist so im going to pick it up tonight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249570 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:22:11 +0000 mrs. bird 249570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oahujeni: welcome!! glad you decided to chime in =) the monkey swing is super cute, i didn't know they were coming out with a monkey line! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249567 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:16:20 +0000 chopsuey 249567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I would get it! We used ours for a good 4-5 months before LO lost interest and started loving her exersaucer.<br /> We brought the swing out again a few weeks before she turned 1 and she's been loving it (again for the last 4 months!)<br /> She climbs in and out of it and lounges. :) It's like a floating papasan chair for her. She currently weighs 24 lbs and so far so good! (we don't swing her in it.. she just sits and kicks her feet, etc). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249563 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:10:02 +0000 oahujeni 249563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies, newbie here (figured it's time to stop quietly stalking these boards and actually engage with all you awesome ladies.) I keep coming back to this swing and it's staying on my registry. BUT I just saw that the Snugamonkey swing is coming out at the end of August and I must have it. Love the bunny, but come on look at that cute monkey! <a href="http://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-snugamonkey-cradle-swing/-/A-14069815" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/fisher-price-snugamonkey-cradle-swing/-/A-14069815</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249553 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 12:08:00 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 249553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The daycare uses that swing and one other, but DD will only nap in the snugabunny swing. We don't have a swing at the house, but I wish we had one because she'll sleep 1-3 hours in there EVERY time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249541 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:55:16 +0000 Mrsbells 249541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we have it, we wouldnt have bought it but we got it as a gift. LO loves it and loves the mirror, she will talk to herself in the mirror for ever. but the only downside is it can get kinda hot in that swing, LO always sweats in there because of the fabric. I think its more ideal for a winter baby or you have to always have the air on </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249540 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:53:38 +0000 Clementine 249540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i have one and we really love it. the only drawback is the max weight is roughly 22?!, so if your little one is close to that you may want to invest in sth else. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249233 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:58:11 +0000 sorrycharlie 249233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The snugabunny plugs in, which is awesome. My LO isn't here yet but my nephew used an older version a few years ago and they loved it! </p> <p>Also be careful, I've bought a ton of used items, but I've heard to be careful buying used swings because eventually the motor can go and then it doesn't work. Since the snugabunny is newer in comparison with older swings though, if that did happen, you could probably contact fisher price and get a new motor replaced free...I feel like I've heard they're good with that! (good customer service) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249208 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:37:11 +0000 heffalump 249208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO didn't use that swing, but she used her swing until 8 months old! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249203 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 07:34:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 249203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They say the swings go up to 25 pounds but everyone I know say its really just to 18-20 pounds. </p> <p>If you really want one for the short term, yes they are a lifesaver. Maybe see if you could get one used or buy a new one and plan on selling </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249173 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 06:21:43 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 249173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had and loved it too, but by about 4.5 months, it was reaching the end of its lifespan. By that point we wanted LO to be napping in his crib. He was starting to fuss in the swing anyway, though he was a big baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249163 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 03:58:43 +0000 loveisstrange 249163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 4 months, 17lbs and around 27in long and we still use it every day. She LOVES it. Her feet hang off the end but it doesn't seem to bother her a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249142 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 01:25:24 +0000 lemondrop 249142@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely check used baby/kid's stores. </p> <p>We still use our Graco swing daily with our 7 month old. He loves it, and it gives me a little break. He is 20 pounds and that swing is still going strong. </p> <p><a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4389469" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=4389469</a></p> <p>Expensive, but worth every penny to us, he loves it and it keeps him occupied. Of course every baby is different...</p> <p>Definitely go for a plug-in swing if you do, these suckers eat up batteries. I love the music feature the most- I only use it for naps when desperate, but he instantly falls asleep when the music is playing. I am missing it this week while we are on vacation! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249138 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 01:09:58 +0000 betsyboop 249138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HeatherlovesKenny: so helpful, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249127 Mon, 06 Aug 2012 00:07:56 +0000 HLK208 249127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd say look for it on CL...we have the same swing and honestly, I see it retiring by the time DD is 3-4 months. With DS, we also discovered the magic of the swing later on (when he was 3 months) so we bought one and returned it 2 weeks after using it. It wasn't worth the cost by that point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249055 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 21:25:41 +0000 betsyboop 249055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know, i went to target today and it was almost $50 more expensive than on amazon! We have amazon prime, so naptine bliss could be only 2 days away but i dont know if i want to pay $100+ for something if we're not going to be able to use it much longer... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249054 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 21:25:12 +0000 plantains 249054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The swing is amazing. LO is only 6.5 weeks old and I feel like I have already gotten value for my money. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249049 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 21:20:05 +0000 PrincessBaby 249049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I posted a thread on this a while back, I didn't know if just getting the Snugabunny chair was enough, of if I needed the swing too. The overwhelming majority was to get the swing. I purchased it on Amazon for $119, and so it's at least quite a bit less than the retail at BBB or BRU. I also saw a ton of used ones on Craigslist, but was too lazy to pursue anything.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/snugabunny-swing#post-249047 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 21:17:14 +0000 betsyboop 249047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My lo is 12.5 weeks and a hefty 13ish pounds. I swore up and down that i wouldnt buy a swing for her, but we went to a friend's house today and she had the fp snugabunny swing there. We put my lo in it and it was love at first sight. She napped like a champ while we enjoyed a nice long lunch. My question is, is it worth the investment at this point? How long did your lo's use this swing? </p>
