Also, probably worth it to take it apart. We'll be selling ours as we're done. But if we weren't, I'd probably try to take the legs off and put it in a box, or something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-amp-where-did-you-store-your-swing#post-1170792 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:24:16 +0000 stargal 1170792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lemondrop: `18 months?!?! wow you got your moneys worth! how did you lo still fit in it?</p> <p>7.5 months and then we put it away sadly bc he outgrew it. we would of used it longer if he could of fit in it!! we stored it in the closet until we gave it away to a teen in need of one for her son (next time i want one that plugs in!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-amp-where-did-you-store-your-swing#post-1170785 Thu, 24 Oct 2013 09:22:38 +0000 MaisyMay 1170785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought ours second hand and sold it, so I imagine we'll do that for the next one we need.

DH still wants to keep it out, but I'm thinking it's time to put away the behomth. K is 7.5 months. </p> <p>When did you put away your swing? And where/how did you store it? Our garage and closets are teeny tiny. IDK if it's possible to move it into the attic in one piece. Did you take it apart? </p> <p>Note: I'm not selling it - going to re-use that puppy for a 2nd LO! </p>
