Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
For the first few months of my daughter's life she LOVED this swing and would almost instantly calm down/ fall asleep prior to putting her in it! However, the tray is the downfall to this swing! It is difficult to latch/un-latch and is pretty unnecessary... My daughter liked all the different nature sounds and music, I especially liked the volume control option!! Unnecessary tray attachment aside, it gets the job done!

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I did not have any motor issues that other people have complained about. This was an overall good swing. My only complaint is that when you latch the tray fully, it is a pain in the butt to unhook. It gets stuck and I end up pulling it with all my might, resulting in the baby jolting a bit when it finally does unlatch. I stopped latching it and instead just let the tray rest on the snap.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
As the headline suggests this swings sometimes works and sometimes it doesn't. I bought it 3 months ago for my newborn and at first it worked. Now it works when it wants. At first, i thought it was because my baby was getting heavy. But with or without baby it just acts up. I've changed the battery and still acts poorly. I would not recommend this swing to anyone.

I bought one for my little girl who is due this month (October 2010) because I had all the other items in the Elyse collection. I put it together and it looked fun and cute...until I put the batteries in it. First, one of the "nature sounds" sounded more like something from a horror movie. I know this is October, and there's Halloween and everything, but really? How is something sounding like a monster breathing supposed to be soothing for a baby? Then there was the big problem. Like many others have said, the motor was messed up. No, returning it didn't help. The first one worked ok on every motor speed past 1 (2-6). It'd be ok if it wasn't for a baby. Setting 1 would start and stop and go fast. So I took it apart and returned it to Babies R Us. [...] I got the second one home and immediately checked out the motor by putting as little together as possible AND IT WAS WORSE THAN THE FIRST ONE! It only worked for 4-6 and still had the same horror noise! I love the design and I love the Elyse pattern, but I will not be getting a third one. I should have just listened to my mom and got a bouncer.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This is a great swing. Pretty easy to put together. Did it in less then 30 mins all by my self. Having 6 speeds is really nice. Baby seems to love it. The one thing that I don't really like is the music. All and all a great buy.

First off, this swing arrived within 2 days of purchasing it. I am having twin girls, and will be buying another one! It is super soft and cozy for baby and has a few different reclining options. The music is good and all the different speed settings are really nice. The only thing I wish was that the mobile spun on its own.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Really like the swing. good and cushy for the baby. attractive to the eye in the living room. my only problem is that it is a little loud especially on the lower settings. But still would recommend to others.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
My daughter who is now about to be 15 months old loves this swing. Whenever she wants to take a nap she walks up to her swing and says, "night night" or "teta" (bottle). We've had this swing since she was born and it has worked great for us I don't know what we would do without it.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
We got this swing last year at our baby shower. Our daughter (14 mos old) barley used this swing and after about two months of use it wouldn't turn on, or once I had it on it wouldn't turn off. Sometimes after we turn it off you can still hear the motor working though the swing is not moving. We replaced the batteries several times and it never helped. I loved the design of the seat because it was just like her newborn napper and it seemed more comfortable then some of the hard plastic swing seats. Needless to say, we will have to replace our swing before baby #2 arrives.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This swing worked well for the first month or two and then the swing stopped swinging. We changed the brand new batteries just to insure there wasn't a problem with the batteries and again it would swing for 1 minute and stop. Do we have to buy a new swing after 3 months? Shouldn't a product last longer?

I would NEVER buy this swing again or recommend this to ANYONE! I feel ripped off and scammed by Graco for putting this obviously inferior product on the market.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This swing is fantastic! Our little girl is twelve pounds now and contrary to other reviews on this site, the swing, swings perfectly! I find it funny all of the propoganda people will put on a review to slam a company! look at the reviews on [@]they are pretty acurate.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Pros: This swing is very cute and very comfy if you have a winter baby. (which I did not) Putting it together was very easy
Cons: The swing NEVER swings, the only way to get it to swing is if I push it myself. My baby is only 3 months old and the motor is not powerful enough to swing her and she is small only 11 lbs. I have tried lithium batteries and still will not swing. The fleece material would be great for a winter baby, but for the summer it is extremely to hot. It is also very bulky even though it does fold up it is still very bulky. Very disappointed, would not recommend this to anyone.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Well all i can say is that the seat is comfortable for the baby. The motor wouldnt swing the seat on its own, I would always have to swing it by hand and try to get the swing and motor in sync with eachother, than after a week it just stopped working all together. I had asked a friend that had the same swing if she had the same problem and she did. I returned it within 2 weeks of my pruchase and it too me 2 weeks only because I couldnt get to the store fast enough, I was ready to return it the NEXT DAY!! Not worth the [$]

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
The swing is not bad. It is comfortable and cute. I don't like it because it is to bulky and boring. The flower mobile at the top don't turn unless you do it. There are better ones to buy that do more.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Just bought this swing and will be returning it in the morning. After spending a couple of hours trying to put this swing together, I hit the on button, only to find that it does not swing! The batteries are in correctly, and brand new. The music will play, but the swing will not swing. Go figure, a motionless swing. Don't waste your money and time!

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This swing was okay for the first few months. My daughter is now 6 months old and the swing settings barley make her swing (she is only 14 1/2 lbs) and now it's turning off on it's own with brand new batteries in it. The motor is loud and the music is not that great, all in all I am not happy about this swing and I will be letting them know!.!

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I found this swing to be very useful. My daughter loves to nap in it, but as she's getting older I can't find any attachment toys for it and she gets bored and fusses. It's is really cute and I haven't had any issues with the motor except for the noisiness that she doesn't even notice. The music is good too, but forget about the nature sounds. Overall I really just wish I could find toys and I'd be completely happy.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I got this item as a shower gift and I do not like it too much. The motor makes a lot of noise and the music volume is too low. The speed levels are ok. My daughter is 5 weeks old and I haven't use it that much but she doesn't seem to like it. And also, when you close it for storage the front legs won't lock

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
We initially loved this swing, but we started having problems with it after about a month. The motor stopped working consistently. We thought it was the batteries, but we continued having the problem after changing them twice. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't, so I don't use it often because I never know what to expect. Also, the tray broke when trying to assemble it. I wouldn't recommend this product, which is too bad because it's super cute.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I am a second time mother. My 3 week old is a bit of a handful and has reflux. While the reclining option on this swing is nice for helping her reflux, there are other faults that take away from that nice aspect. #1: the swing is kind of a pain to put together (if this was the only problem I wouldn't even mention it) #2: We put the tray on the swing and decided very quickly that we did not want it attached. Once attached it is NOT easy to get back off. #3: This is the BIG one... after only 1 week of using this swing (about a total of 10 hours) the swinging mechanism stopped working!!!!!! The sounds and music still worked, so my husband and I thought it might need new batteries... not the problem. #4: While the swing was actually working, it seemed like you had to keep the perfect center of balance to keep it swinging. If my daughter slumped down in the chair, or if the mobile wasn't in the perfect position, it would simply stop moving. #5: the nature sounds are not very realistic and they are more annoying than soothing.

If you happen to get this swing and the mechanism works, the choices for swinging speeds is a nice idea. My daughter liked to swing on a faster speed when she was awake but when she fell asleep, we could lower the speed and keep her asleep for an hour or so.

THE BATTERY OPERATION IS OK IF NO AC AVAILABLE HOWEVER IT WOULD BE GREAT IF IT WOULD HAVE AN AC ADAPTER FOR USE AT HOME AND NOT HAVE TO SPEND A BUNCH ON REPLACMENT BATTERIES.UNLESS YOU USE HIGH STENGTH BATTERIES FOR THIS PRODUCT GET READY TO BE BUYING A LOT OF BATTERIES.FOR THIS REASON I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
It was much more than I expected. It was my lifesaver when my wife returned to work. The swing would put my daughter right to sleep so I could get a nap after work.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I got this as a shower gift and fell in love with the pattern that I had to have the entire collection! My daughter is now 7 months old and loves her swing. She will swing for hours at a time. Cons: the motor occassionally stop and you have to give it a push to get it going again and it is more bulky than I will like. Other than that I love it!

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I read the reviews and decided to take a chance on the swing anyway. I liked the simplicity of it. We have a main house, a pool house and our little one will be going to daycare in a few weeks. I bought more than one swing and didn't want to break the bank doing it. For the price, this swing does what it's supposed to do and is cute. My daughter loves it. It does make more noise than the space saver swing we purchased, but she will be able to use it for longer (up to 30lbs). Overall, we're pleased with the product.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Motor stopped working approximately the third or fourth time I placed my daughter in it. It would go for about 3 minutes, then just stop. It's a very cute swing, but it works HORRIBLY!

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
My daughter is 7 months and will only take her naps in a swing. I almost didn't buy this swing because of the reviews but I'm glad I went ahead and bought it. The batteries did go out within the first two weeks but then we switched to Energizer and they usually last 8 weeks. That's pretty good since she uses her swing about 5 hrs a day.

This is the worse swing ever! After 4 months of owning it the motor has already gone out! My daughter loves her swing and now we have to go out and buy another one! I will not be buying another graco swing!

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Just spend more and buy one that plugs in.. this one kills batteries way to fast. Im changing them out every week

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This swing is great! The speeds are nice for infants, not too fast. The sound quality is nice. Assembly was a little challenging, however the directions are helpful- so just follow those.

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
There were lots of negative reviews on this product, but I have had only positive experiences. My daughter is 11 weeks now, and she naps in her swing daily. The motor works fine, she fits well into the swing and she loves the sound machine with the different settings. We have only changed the batteries 2 times, and we use it frequently (as I said, this is where my daughter likes to nap during the day - so probably 2-4 hours daily, sometimes more). I would recommend this swing. It has been great for us as first time parents.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This swing has turned out to be a Godsend for my daughter. She loves to nap in it and also enjoys it when she is awake (she is currently 4 wks old). We used the swing the first day she was home and will continue to use it. Some great features: seat reclines way back and is very deep and secure for a newborn; variable speeds and surprisingly fast for a battery operated swing (we use setting number 4 typically); the mobile swings away for easy access; LOVE the music. Now, I read that several people think the music is boring but I love classical music and most babies do too. The music on this swing is beatiful to me and very soothing to my baby which I think is the point of a swing. It also has nature sounds. I love that it is battery operated because I move it from room to room a lot.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I was almost swayed away from this product for the negitive assembly comments. I recieved it in the mail this morning as a gift, and because of my impatience, had to put it together pronto, while the husband was working:) 30 min after opening the box I was snapping the mobile into place. I am 38 weeks pregnant and with a little attention to detail and focus, this swing is a snap!!

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Uses alot of batteries and now thats shes 16 pounds barely moves on the highest speed. wish i got one that plugs in.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This swing was wonderful at the beginning, but then the motor quit working. Now the swing will work for a few minutes, but the it just stops. I don't recommend it!!! Plus the music sounds like funeral music. I will buy a different swing with my next baby.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I too was a bit turned off and scared by the reviews of this swing on this site. However, I decided to still go for it and get the swing. And so far we are beyond pleased!
We had a small travel swing at first, and it completely broke on us, and we desperately needed a new one.
I was in the store one day buying diapers and saw this swing and really liked the price. I put Kirsten in the swing while i the store and she immediately began smiling and loved the swing. I played around with the settings and music and was happy about everything.

I will agree however that assembly is a bit hard. It took me probably over an hour to get it finally put together. But one it was together everything has been great.

It swings very well, much better than our previous swing. and I really like the ocean/water sounds. Kirsten has a sound machine with ocean sounds and it sounds a lot like the ones on this swing. Same with her bouncer!

I love how cuddled she looks in the swing too. She looks so safe and peaceful when she sleeps in it. The lowest setting is awesome for naps, and she loves sitting straight up and watching us or the tv!

I would totally tell anyone to get the swing, and maybe go over to help them get it together! haha! But other than assembly, its a really wonderful product!

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
We had no idea how much we were going to need this swing! As first time parents, we thought that getting a swing would be a good idea, somewhere to place the baby while trying to get things done. Well, our baby happened to have a little bit of colic (or some trouble adjusting to the world, whatever you'd like to call it), and also seemed to have a bit of a reflux problem. After she vomited all over the place the first night she was home, almost immediately after we laid her in her crib, we actually held her while she slept, until my fiance came up with the idea of putting her in the swing, without it on, so that she would be more upright (still reclined, but not flat like the crib mattress) while she slept. It was the best idea he could have had! The swing worked so well that we put her in it for weeks while she slept, no matter what time of day it was. As soon as she fell asleep on one of us, in she went. When the colic type of issues started, we also used the swing to swing her and have her listen to the white noise sound, which really helped. We would also rock her in our arms near the swing with the white noise playing. As she got a little older, we stopped putting her in the swing to sleep (we moved on to a bouncer, then finally a pack-n-play, then eventually her crib-it was quite a process!), but she still enjoyed swinging in it and using it as more of a place to sit, and would even fall asleep in it at times. We also used it when we first started feeding her pureed food, as it was so convenient (it also has a tray but we had taken that off when we were using it as her "bed"). Unfortunately, my fiance and I have kind of just put the swing aside and forgotten about it, now that our daughter is crawling around, but we hope to try to get a little more use out of it before she's too big for it. We would definitely recommend this swing because our daughter really seemed to love it :)

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
We almost had to return this swing! Poor instructions with too few pictures. I BEGGED the store to assemble it for me. For a $10.00 fee, this is well worth it. The product is nice & works as advertised.

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
Worked great for a few weeks! Instructions difficult to follow. But after a few weeks the only way the swing would work was if my husband pushed the legs out extremely far and kept them that way with 2 by 4s. It stopped working again! I took the two by fours out and now it's ok. It works when it wants to. Nature noises are eerie and the music is just annoying.

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I used this product for my daughter but it was a waste of money. My daughter wouldn't stay in it for more than 30 minutes because it wasn't very comfortable, the mobile do not twist around, the music is boring especially for babies, the motor stopped working after three months and the swing (the motor) makes a lot of sound even when the music is not playing. I don't recommend it at all.Furhter, it takes for ever to figure out how to assamble it together.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I got it as a gift to comfort my daughter but it is the worst gift because the music is not interesting for babies; the motor stopped working after 3 months and the mobile is useless. I don't recommend it at all. Also, it is complicated and difficult to assamble. it takes for ever to figure it out.

---

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
i like this swing because it is easy to fold up with the push of two buttons. i aslo loved how it had so many different musical sounds and speeds on the swing. i did not like the swing because the bottom front grips kept falling off it was very difficult to screw them in when we were putting the swing together we had to go buy longer screws so that they would not keep falling off every time i moved the swing to a different room .

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This is a great swing. We had our daughter in the middle of December and so far we have had NO problems with it!! She has been sick the past week, so she has been in it (what seems like) nonstop. The only thing I "don't like" about it, is that some come with toys to clip on to the tray and some don't. The spots are there to clip them in, but we did not recieve any with ours, so to me it looks a little wierd. But besides that I would suggest this swing to ANYONE!!! I love it and so does my daughter!! She wieghs over 10lbs right now and still has much more room to grow into it.

This is the 2nd Graco swing that has quit working. I bought this swing on 12/21/09 and it has stopped working by 2/4/10. The motor starts clicking and then burns out all together. Graco swings are essentially all the same so I don't know why some are more expensive than others etc. I am going to return it and buy a Fisher Price swing. They all have higher customer ratings than Graco.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
This was a baby shower gift that seemed to look a little better at the store. It was a little annoying when it came to the assembly, specially with putting the front feet on it. At first we had the tray on it but it was to hard to open and close. We finally got sick of it and took it off. It looks much better and is easier to take our daughter in and out of it. I HATE the "music" it plays. It sound like a really bad robotic version of the songs and it makes our daughter cranky when its playing. The motor of the swing is really annoying. Granted you learn to ignore it but its a pretty loud whir then clunk sounds. And we always have to give it a push start or it just doesn't seem to swing right. Besides that, our daughter does seem to like it (but I'm sure it's more the shape of the seat she likes then the actual swing).

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
My mother and father bought this swing as a gift to the new baby. It was easy to assemble but the tray would not fasten! After a month of use it doesn't work properly! The lights on the buttons flash on and off, the music slurs and sounds creepy and it won't swing. Sometimes if you start swinging the swing manually it will start again but the only way to stop it is to remove the batteries. And most times that won't even work. I doubt the store will take it back since it has been two months and unfortunately my parents didn't buy the warranty. This is the worst product ever! If you buy this then you might as well take your money and flush it down the toilet..same thing.

I love this swing and so does my daughter. It folds up and fits right in our closet. It was so easy to assemble, me and my husband did it in no time. Its a great product

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I haven't had any of the issues other people complain about with this swing. I bought rechargeable batteries for it but I don't have to charge them often. My daughter loves her swing. She sleeps in it all the time and it keeps her asleep much longer than she would typically sleep in her bassinet. We took the lap bar off of it because we didn't feel that it was necessary but if they made a swing big enough for me I'd buy it too.

Most complicated directions to assemble. After 45 minutes of assembly, the rocking mechanism didn't work and returned it for Fisher Price Cradle 'N Swing...This rocker/swing has more functions and has a solid frame.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
My husband and I bought this swing because it matched her stroller and playpen, and I really wish I didnt!!! The music it plays is horrible and boring. It just repeats the same sound over and over. The tray doesnt close all the way which even if it did Its impossible to do since there is no leg room. My daugher is tiny and closing the tray smushes her feet and legs! I have to put a blanket under it so she will have room and then the tray is propped up a bit which makes it to where she cant see anything but a big grey blob!

i bought this swing for my daughter thats due in about a week and was very disappointed when we got the swing home and it did not work. this swing is cute but the motor didnt work. we returned this swing and got another to find it did the same thing. we ended up going with another swing and was happy to get one that works. dont waste time or money on this one.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I read a couple of negative reviews on this swing, but my experience couldn't be more of the opposite. My daughter LOVES this swing. Whenever she doesn't want to sleep at night I put her in it and it makes her content. I love how the music plays a lot of different songs and how you can adjust the volume. There is 6 different speeds for the actual swing. I also like how there is an optional timer on it so that if turns off after a certain amount of time if you want it to so it doesn't waste.

I'd recommend this to anyone.

We got this swing the first week in April for our daughter who was born April 22nd. It never came out of the box until she was four weeks old. We have gone through three--THREE-- of these swings b/c the motors stop working at about six to eight weeks. [...]

The swing function did not work. We went to the store to have them check it out and it worked in the store. Then as soon as we brought it back home it didn't work again. Horrible item.

I had a problem in the begining where it just stopped working and i thought i had to take it back then it started working again havent had a problem since. swing has loud clicking when on and goes through batteries every 2 weeks. its pretty but i probably would havbe gotten a differnet one if i returned.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
I was so excited to have gotten this swing as a gift because it matched everything else I had. I loved the print. However, I went through two of these swings and they were both horrible. First of all the motor is loud. On top of that, the first swing made a clicking noise even when it was off. The second one had a sound like the motor had got wet or something. It was a hassle for my husband to put both together and then take them apart. The mobile was also pointless because it would just move from side to side. I wanted to give it no stars but the computer would not let me. Please do not waste your money. I only had both for a total of 3 weeks and had these problems.

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
The swing has been great up until now. The motor stopped working and I have to keep pushing it to keep it going. My daughter loves the swing and now she can't use it. They aren't even open on the weekdends so I have to wait and call and see what they can do for me. This is very frustrating. I have only been using it for 5 months!

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
the swing is a tent like design so you have to have big area for it. the click of tray is loud and hard to use. it is definatly a two handed job. its motion settings are hard to use i push the button and cant tell if it is gonna swing without the light being lit up because one push turns on and off spiraticaly. there arent toys available for holes in tray and the tray doesnt have enough flat space to add own suction cup toy. the mobile might as well not even be on the swing because baby cannot see it. i wanted to give it no stars but the computer wont let me leave blank space

Comments about Graco Lovin Hug Infant Swing Elyse:
we have this for our newborn. The tray is incredibly difficult, and loud to latch and unlatch. I cant latch it without jerking my baby around because it is to hard, and the click sound when we unlatch is wakes her up as well so we just leave it in the down position. For now we don't latch it, but when she gets older i don't know what we will do. Swing motion ONE is perfect not to slow not to fast, but the machine cant keep it regulated so it stops all the time, and we have to give it a push start again. Plus the button to turn swing on and off is touchy, i have to push it five or six times because touching it once turns it on off and sometimes on again. It is a good thing the button lights up when it is on. No matter how you have the swing seat adjusted the mobile seems out of sight for her. you can move the mobile manually but i still cant get it in her range to see. the mobile doesn't squeek, light up or move. The music seems to be the only good feature on the swing. the loudness level is great and the songs are suitable for a newborn, meaning they aren't fast and chaotic like some other baby toys. very calming music. for the hundred dollars you will spend, this one is not worth it.

Same as everyone else, I am on my second swing and the motor stopped working on this one too!! I am so irritated and off the babies to return!
