4.5 months!

I think they're good up to 6 months, we use ours daily and if we had extras we'd keep one up at my parents, his parents, and his parents second home up north.

Um, a week! My LO didn't like the swing at all!

Couldn't use it past about 4 months for either baby because once they get heavier, the swing doesn't move as much...! And on that note, the swing moves really fast when they're newborns because they're so tiny. There's NOTHING that can replace the magic of a swing though. LMW once took a 6 hour nap in ours! She's a good sleeper now but when she was younger, oh man, sometimes even the swing wouldn't work. I would not have traded our swing for anything...!! Worth EVERY penny. And the Fisher Price Snugabunny (ours was the generation before that... My Little Lamb) is absolutely the best.

Our nanny's LO doesn't like the swing though! And they got the Snugabunny as a gift. She's so annoyed because she doesn't wanna get rid of it (because future babies might like it) but it's so huge.

If I had an extra one, I'd totally put it in our room! My 7 week old wakes up most mornings at 6am and I'm usually not ready to get up then (after waking up in the night with her)... I usually end up putting her in the swing in the FR (she falls back to sleep right away) and sleeping on the couch.

If you decide not to keep the extras, maybe you could sell them on Craigslist? That might be worth more than the 25% BRU discount. I got mine via Craigslist. I've also seen them at Kid-to-Kid.

We used it every night for 2 months! Ours was $40 second hand and folded up really small. Also battery operated (and we didn't use up our second round of batteries) so I could move it between rooms. http://www.myregistry.com/BabyStore/Products/Baby-Boppy-Rock-in-Comfort-Travel-Swing---Neutral.html

About three months

We put ours away at about 3 months because we weren't using it for naps anymore, because our LO was napping like a champ in his crib at that point.

Lo is almost 5 months and still likes it.

With DD we used it for about 4 months before retiring it. We pulled it back out shortly after she turned 1 and she had fun climbing in and out of it. At almost 22 months she still sits in the swing. She's about 3lbs over the weight limit, but it's okay.

We use it once in a while for DS. I'd probably use it more often, but he actually goes down really well when I put him in his pnp drowsy, so not gonna mess with a good thing!

we still have our swing out at 12.5 weeks -- he didn't use it in the beginning, then was in it maybe 5/6-11 weeks... he liked napping in it, but I'm trying to have him nap in the crib.

but I do still put him in it maybe once a day.

ps - the first swing we had LO hated it! I returned it & got a different one that he liked much better.

@SugarplumsMom: I saw this and was like whoa!!! But then I saw the date. Was fun to read through!

@turquoisemama: Please don't misunderstand my comment. I thought it was cool to see an old thread revived! I think it's great that your LO can nap in it and it shouldn't be embarrassing at all!

@turquoisemama: for a 3 hour nap I wouldn’t change things!

DS1 hated the swing. DS2 liked it but wouldn’t sleep in it. We used it about 6 months. When he started daycare at 12 months he used the swing for a month or two there. It was how they could keep him calm in the morning and if he woke up too soon from his nap.
