We replaced it with the jumperoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-387664 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:13:33 +0000 Freckles 387664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 4 months when she started using the exersaucer/jumperoo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-387573 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:53:23 +0000 heffalump 387573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>8 months.

I found her hanging off the side one day because she was trying to sit up and it was time to retire it soon after that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-387378 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 20:22:47 +0000 LAGS 387378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: My LO too... she tolerates it less and less every time she's forced into it. </p> <p>Onward and upward! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-378757 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:32:02 +0000 winniebee 378757@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have debated putting it away, but there have been a handful of times the past few weeks when we have needed it (when he had a cold and couldn't sleep, when he woke at 5 a.m. and wouldn't go back to bed...) He's almost 6 mos. </p> <p>Today, he has been fussy for the past 45 mins for no apparent reason, which is very unlike him. I think he either needs to poop or is teething. So I put him in the swing like 5 minutes ago and he seems content to watch the mobile, etc. I'll probably pack it up after the holidays - I told my friend who is due in December she could loan it from us and he probably won't use it much then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-378746 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:27:52 +0000 autumnlove 378746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was around 5 months! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-378745 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:27:35 +0000 prettylizy 378745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She is just shy of 8 months and we packed it up last week *sniff*sniff*</p> <p>She's too busy to sit and swing anymore, now it's floor time, jumperoo, exersaucer. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-378738 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:23:17 +0000 loveisstrange 378738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At about 5-6 months old, she learned how to rocket herself out of it, so it got packed away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-378715 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:13:32 +0000 T-Mom 378715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is 14 months and we haven't put it away yet. He hasn't used it for many many months. However, he and his big sister have been leaning on it and messing with it, and now it doesn't really swing quite right, so it is a wise idea to put it away before your LO starts pulling up and walking and can break it :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-retire-your-swing#post-378698 Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:05:33 +0000 LAGS 378698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO is 6 months old and we rarely use our swing anymore. I'm planning to pack it up this week but am hesitating because it's still nice to have for that odd moment every few weeks where LO wants to just chill on her own... but it just takes up so much real estate to be used so infrequently.</p> <p>When did you put your swing away?? </p>
