I'm totally freaked out because I just found LO slumped over in the swing - head hanging off the side but her legs were strapped in, of course, so she wasn't falling out .....yet. But now I'm thinking that it could be possible as she gets stronger? She is 3 months old. My swing is from 3 years ago when we used it for my older daughter. I just googled and found a swing with a 5 point harness. Is this new? Clearly, these things need a better harness!

Our swing had a crotch strap and two over the shoulder straps, but just 3 pt, not 5.
-
@looch: hey welcome back?!? yeah, ours only has a crotch strap. not good enough!!
-
hi, yes, jumping right back in.
I'll be honest, I probably wouldn't have blinked an eye and would have bought a swing with just the crotch strap...wouldn't have occured to me to look for a 5 pt harness like a car seat.

Ours is just a crotch strap. And LO actually used it until she was 8 months old. She never fell out
-
@looch: cool, welcome back! i wish ours had shoulder straps. sigh. i'm not really willing to buy a new swing at this point, though. i'll just have to stick close by.

@artbee: this kid is nuts. she almost rolled over today!
-
Mine just has a crotch belt.. M's hung off the side of our swing before too.. I don't sit J in it often.
Poor K! Glad you found her in time..
What was the nanny doing?! -
@Andrea: Oh my LO tried to get out, especially when she got older. But I never went anywhere that I couldn't see her, and the crotch strap worked.

@chopsuey119: dang, I never knew they could hang off the side because we never used it very much with L. The nanny was just making her lunch in the kitchen. K was still asleep so not crying or anything.
