Whether your baby is in a playful mood or ready for rest and relaxation, she's sure to love swinging with her animal friends. A hanging toucan and turtle are ready to take your baby for a delightful, gentle swing in a generous bucket seat that nestles her in comfort. As she swings, your baby will enjoy the sweet melodies of seven songs, the variation of five swing speeds, and the softness of the padded lion seat cover. And a secure three-point restraint system keeps her in the proper, safe position throughout.
Designed to Promote Comfort and Security for Your Baby
This swing can help soothe your baby with its rhythmic back-and-forth motion. This movement simulates a parent's comfortable rocking motion and is meant to calm your baby and encourage relaxation, making this swing ideal for preparing your child for sleep.
A Variety of Features Stimulate Your Baby's Senses
The Take-Along Swing also encourages healthy sensory development. First, the variety of different music selections stimulates your baby's auditory skills, just as the brightly colored animal friends provide visual stimulation. As your baby reaches for the turtle and toucan, he also improves his hand-eye coordination, and discovers the pleasure of physical movement.
Compact and Portable Enough to Go Anywhere
This swing is unique in that it's designed to be ultra-portable, and it's easy to pack and carry. It conveniently folds for travel, or parents can use the swing's carry handles on each side to move it from room to room without straining. Additionally, the Take-Along Swing is designed to give you easy access to your baby--simply lift up the removable toy bar and your baby is within reach.
Safety and Developmental Guidelines
This swing can safely hold a child from birth up to 25 pounds and is meant for use until your child becomes active and can climb out of the seat. It measures 25 x 28 x 27 inches (WxHxD) and includes a handy volume control.

Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Precious Planet Open Top Take-Along Swing
Customer Review: You get what you pay for?
Summary: 2 Stars
As I said in the title, you get what you pay for, but when you spend $60+, you do expect to get something decent. Overall, this swing is very cute. I was quite taken with the little lion's face, and with the toucan on the bar of "toys". What really sold me, though, was the ability to carry it one-handed as shown on the picture of the woman on the box. (Which is photo-shopped, by the way!)
I received this for a baby shower gift. I really had my heart set on the My Little Lamb Swing, but after seeing how cute this swing was, and looking at the box, it appeared that this swing would be a very good thing to keep. And what would it hurt to have a swing on both levels of my house? This swing was to be the primary swing, because the other swing that I have is 14 years old, and from a yard sale. I was going to keep this one on the main floor of my house.
When I assembled it and found out the swing didn't even fold up enough to carry it with much ease, let alone one-handed (the swing has two handles). This is very disappointing. I can't carry my baby and the swing at the same time, which is part of what makes it so appealing. My sister has the Fisher-Price full-size aquarium swing, and she can carry her son and the folded-up swing at the same time, yet I can't even carry my TRAVEL swing and my child. It's very disappointing.
Next up, the music is cute and not annoying, it does change. But the swing --- it is supposed to have 5 speeds. Mine seemed to have 3, and definitely needed a push to get it going. When it was on the fast speed and the slow speed, it would stop swinging for several seconds at a clip. I would go over and nudge it again to get it started. This is without my baby even being in it. Then I thought it maybe needed some weight in it, so I took some magazines, weighed them to be about 7 pounds, and tried that. The swing all but came to a stop. I even thought the batteries I bought were defective, so I even went out and bought a brand-new package of name-brand batteries! All in all, I wish that I had read some of the reviews on other sites before deciding to "keep" this swing (I am now returning it). This swing is very cute, has good music, but its swinging ability and travel ability is lackluster... which is ironic since it's a TRAVEL SWING. It doesn't easily do either of the things in its title!
This swing MAY be okay for VERY occasional use at someone else's home or something. But judging by how it doesn't swing well, I will just be taking my new full-size swing with me when we travel. It's just disappointing that $60 doesn't buy you much anymore, but that's how it goes.
Bottom line: Keep your $60 and put it towards a real swing.
