Baby Products Reviews of Graco Lovin Hug Easy Entry Open Top Swing Bancroft
Customer Review: Some flaws but good battery life.
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall I've been pretty pleased with the performance of this swing. Surprisingly our daughter likes it and it will calm her 60% of the time. . . and that's huge. I haven't really bothered too much with the music since I have another source to play songs.
I was at first disappointed that the swing was battery powered. I read reviews that said this swing eats batteries so I prepared myself by buying a recharger and a cache of rechargeable batteries. I then waited for the chance to use my new recharger. We use the swing at least 2-3 hours a day on our 8 lb baby and have used it significantly more at times (4-5 hours). It has been two weeks now and I'm still waiting to use my rechargeable batteries.
I understand that some people have complained about the closeure clasp on the tray. It can be loud with careless hands but like anything else there is a method that you learn quickly. I have found that it is easier to close it quietly than it is to open quietly. This was never a problem since we were always taking our daughter out when she was already awake.
I had a problem with the mobile fitting on the control-side arm assembly. What was happening was the mobile mount was knocking against the frame and not allowing it to make its full swing. The solution I found was to move the mount to the non-control side. This meant that I would have to use a pair of side-cutters or a knife (careful!) and remove the tooth on the mobile stem. This also allows the movile to be positioned to sit further forward in case that's where baby's line of sight is.
I'm giving the swing 4 out of five stars (Amazon won't let me update my previous review) because of having to move the mobile mount - that is an oversight on Graco's part. Otherwise it's worth the room it takes up in our small house.
UPDATE:
I found that regular energizer batteries last me practically a month. We use the swing several hours per day (approx 5) with an 11 lb child at setting 4. I tried rechargeable batteries but they only last a 1/5 as long. I don't know what others are talking about when they complain about battery life . . . I generally dislike battery powered devices but this one works efficiently on 3 Energizer D's.
