This swing really gave me time to make dinner, vacuum, and just rest! My baby wasn't so excited/happy in it at first... it took about a few weeks but then he really started enjoying it. He's almost 6 months now and he still sits in it and sometimes even takes long naps while swinging. I haven't changed it into the toddler seat yet, but the swing itself is def. worth it!
Great Swing

I haven't had any problems with this swing. My daughter seems to enjoy it, and especially likes the little plush animals hanging on top- they make her smile. I like that it swings automatically, so you don't have to worry about pushing it. It seems pretty comfy too. I also likes its multifunctionalality- that it can be used as a chair and later as a rocker.
not really impressed

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
The seat doesn't recline for an infant, so you have to prop them up. Battery life low, when baby gets around 12-14 lbs, the swing barely moves. In the lift and carry handles his hands have gotten stuck a few times and he isn't big enough to pull them out. baby needs to be aleast 2-3 months old for the swing
Best swing

I love this swing it comes off with ease and he sits in it to eat. I really love this product. I am glad it grows with him. My friends all ask where I got it from. I would recommend this to anyone.
Best Buy!

I just want to say this chair is the best! My daughter recently got her first cold. The Ped wanted me to have her sleep in her carseat, but I have one that stays in the car and really wasn't stable. So I was either sitting up sleeping with her or propping her up in bed. Then I realized her swing had three stages; the swing, a rocking chair for toddlers and the best, a infant seat(like a baby recliner). The first night in this was a miracle for her cold! She only woke to eat at her normal 5 am. She didn't even snore! All I can say is if your baby has a cold or even reflux, this combo chair is a great idea! I use the swing part during the day, easily lift the chair up and it becomes the infant seat at night, safe with straps to keep them on their backs! It is a great value for [$]!!!!
Very disappointed!

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
I bought this swing because it seemed as if it would grow with my daughter. It has been a disappointment. It sits up straight so as a small infant I had to put a blanket around her to keep her head from falling, then when she got older (she weighs 12 lbs now) it seems as if she is too heavy for it now and it will barely swing. I have changed batteries over and over and sometimes it will just completely stop swinging. It's big and bulky and I would have been happier with just a travel swing. Def not something to replace an infant swing! Unless mine is just a dud! :)
great swing!!

this swing is great! My baby is due in two days, but I have tried this swing out on my 3 month old niece and 1 1/2 year old nephew and they both loved it! Very easy to transition from swing to rocker.
I like this swing-infant doesn't

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
I like this swing. It's cute and I like that it has multiple uses-swing, toddler rocker, and infant seat. However, my 4 week old infant just doesn't seem to like it. It sits up very straight and is not adjustable. I noticed that a lot of infant swings lay back. I wish I had registered for an infant swing as well as this swing. This may be better when she gets older unfortunatly it doesn't work for us right now.
Great swing for the price

The versatility of this product cannot be beat. I was pleasantly surprised at how many musical options are available - enough to keep parents from getting sick of hearing the tunes over and over again. I'm glad that with the different stages and neutral theme, we can use it for many years with boys and girls. One downside, it is quite heavy to move.

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
my little jolt of energy would go hours without sleeping and sometimes he refuses to sleep without the breast in his mouth. ever since i bought this swing, i am able feed and change him then put him to swing and he just goes. sometimes when he's fussy i just strap him in and he settles down. love it. now i can get some work done. my only regrets are that it doesnt have a additional base(its not easy moving it around the house) and it doesnt uses electrical power.
good value for the price

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
This swing is great compared to other swings because it grows with your baby. it doesn't come with all of the bells and whistles of other higher-priced swings, but most of the time babies don't care much for those anyways. my 6 week old is perfectly fine with this swing and it keeps me from holding her to calm her 24/7. The only complaint I had is that the speed settings seem to be the same. I don't notice any difference between the two.
love it!!!

We used just the recline setting when he was a newborn. He would sleep and watch the family interact. During 2-5 mnts we used it as a swing to soothe him. 6 mnts-current he sits in it to watch videos and games, reclines to drink milk and fall asleep. The seatbelt is very sturdy and prevents him from falling out. Great seat, and extremely useful.
head goes crooked

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
this swing looked really great in the store, i liked the pattern and it was on sale. however, it was a little difficult to put together (need two ppl) and once i put my son in it, his head went crooked!! the seat doesn't recline and it makes him sit straight up. i checked the box and it definitely says NEWBORN; you would think the manufacture would know that newborn's cant hold their head up yet. My son hates it, i've tried the pillows for carseats, blankets, anything to give him some head support and nothing works... he does nothing but cry. i'm thinking of selling it on [...] and buying one off that site. I'm really upset i spent the money on it
Definitely worth the money!

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
This swing was a life-saver for us and our daughter. She loved it even when she was very little. Many naps happened in this swing and it always calmed her when she was fussy. We only had to replace the batteries once, which is amazing considering how much she used it. Now that my daughter is older (20 months) she uses it as a rocker and still loves it. Fabulous!
Also good for my 6 yrs old!!

I use this for my newborn and it does the job. You probably won't find a better swing for the price of this one. The rocker assembly adds even more protection if something does happen with the swing arms there is not a far drop from the cradle to the ground. One more thing is that it is pretty versatile in color no need to go get a second swing if you have a boy and a girl!!!
Not a big fan

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
We got this swing as a gift because I thought I would love it because it converted to a toddler rocker. However my daughter hates it. She has sat in it about 4 times and screams everytime. The only thing we can figure out is it doesn't recline as much as the other swings on the market and the material is not as soft. I think that if it was a little more cozy she would have loved it. The chair is going to be nice when she is older.
Awesome multifunction swing

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
This swing is awesome. Our 7 week baby loves it...she always falls asleep after a few minutes. And the removable chair is great so we can prop her in the kitchen, den, wherever after she falls asleep. the chair can be set back so it is in sleeping mode. We love this product and highly recommend it.
Lifesaver....

I love this swing and so does my two month old some. He has used since he was a week old. Highly recommend to any mom! This swing keeps our son busy and allows us to get things done when needed.

Comments about Fisher Price Smart Stages Swing Giraffe:
I am due to have my baby girl tomorrow (we'll see if that actually happens!) and had not assembled the swing yet. I did so today. The swing seems sturdy and fine; however, it is a task to get it assembled. You really need two people and to not be 9 months pregnant. The instructions are easy enough to follow, but the way the screws go in was very frustrating to me and I definately needed the help of my husband to get it together.
I love this product
