My son loved the swing but my DD hates it. So we retired it at 3 months. :( Now i have to figure out what to do with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-692255 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:42:22 +0000 Ginger333 692255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still using it a lot at 7 months ... He still likes it and it puts him to sleep so quickly! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691963 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:26:34 +0000 Mrs. Grizzly Bear 691963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Looking back, I realize I retired the swing a little too soon - he was about four months - but it was due mainly because the swing we had was a consignment find and wasn't working reliably. With LO #2 we got a swing that will still work for DS too - it's weight limit is 30 lbs and he hasn't reached it yet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691939 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 14:21:16 +0000 sumer08 691939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is almost 7.5 months and we still use ours every morning. He is getting tired of it, I think. His feet hang over the edge ( and have for awhile now), so I think we'll be packing ours away in the next few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691830 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:43:39 +0000 kiddosc 691830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just packed it up at 10 months. His feed hung off the edge but that thing was a lifesaver when NOTHING else would work. If LO is still under the weight limit and doesn't seem bothered, and you're still getting use out of it, I don't see a reason to pack it up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691763 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:19:29 +0000 Boogs 691763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had the same one and LO still liked to nap in it at almost a year lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691756 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:16:13 +0000 HabesBabe 691756@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We put it in storage around 6 months. LO's legs got way too long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691733 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 13:05:22 +0000 LuLu Mom 691733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Snugabunny swing too, and we just retired it at 6 months, she was way too long for it but she loved it. The only reason we finally gave it up was I hosted a baby shower and took it out of the living room, and we decided to just not bring it back up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691709 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:55:32 +0000 winniebee 691709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He stopped using it regularly around 4.5 months - he napped in it almost exclusively from birth until 4.5 months and then was suddenly over it! We kept it around until 7 months when we lent it to a friend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691696 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:52:31 +0000 swurlygurl 691696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope DD will fit in it forever! Haha<br /> I have a friend whose two year old still uses it! He climbs in it himself to take his naps </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691605 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:18:06 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 691605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: us too :(<br /> I think it fits him? But, he doesn't care for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691577 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:09:30 +0000 Bao 691577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We just put it away at 7 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691553 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:02:53 +0000 hilsy85 691553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3.5 months...he no longer really liked it. Now I just plop him in it if I need to put him somewhere for a minute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691548 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 12:00:24 +0000 sorrycharlie 691548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha we're still using it at 6 months! O is 25.5" long. She's a shawty ;)</p> <p>But we use it in the "sitting up" position now, and her feet do hang down but she doesn't care :) it's more for "fun" than to put her to sleep. she hasn't slept in it in months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691466 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:34:08 +0000 mrskc 691466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're still using it and he's almost 6 months. He does look really big in it tho. Now we put him in there with the seat laying flat and dangle toys from the mobile. We'll let that spin and he tries to grab onto them. It keeps him preoccupied while we eat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691456 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:31:59 +0000 oliviaoblivia 691456@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@coacheswife123: Why are our babies so big?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691452 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:31:05 +0000 pl0508 691452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>J's feet are nearly hanging off too :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691451 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:30:46 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 691451@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our lasted until almost 6 months. Then it say in C's room unused for 3.5 months before we finally took it apart. We brought the bassinet part to my parents house, but the legs wouldn't fit into our car, so they're still standing in our bedroom... that snugabunny swing was the best baby item we had for the first 5-6 months of C's life, and I was so sad to take it down... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691450 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:30:41 +0000 lemondrop 691450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still using ours when we get desperate at 15 months (every few days). Thankfully we got one with a 30 pound weight limit! He's loves it, I swear that thing is magic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691445 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:28:32 +0000 mediagirl 691445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 months, she wanted nothing to do with it anymore. It made me sad. We used it every single day for three months, though so I guess we can't complain too much? It's currently folded up in my office. Collecting dust. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691443 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:28:22 +0000 autumnlove 691443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 4.5 months! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-the-swing#post-691442 Thu, 04 Apr 2013 11:27:48 +0000 oliviaoblivia 691442@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the snugabunny swing and LO LOVES it. But her feet are hanging off the edge and her head is at the top. I've taken out the extra padding, but she looks a little ridiculous. She's no where near the 25# weight limit.<br /> She's almost three months, I thought we'd get more use of this humongous space hog. </p>
