THIS PRODUCT WAS RECALLED
i borrowed this swing from a friend. my daughter got her head caught between the seat bars and the frame. we were both very lucky that i was standing right there. later on i found out that the product had been recalled for that exact reason. please don't buy this swing!

Safety Concern, legs can get caught between seat/frame.
Mattel has recalled the Rainforest version of the Open Top Take-Along Swing but not this one. According to Fisher-Price, the Rainforest Model numbers K7203, K7192 and K7195 were recalled due to entrapment hazards. When I called about this swing, they said the design was slightly changed and the seat of the Rainforest did not "cradle" the baby as much as this one, allowing the infants to shift to the side in the swing, and become entrapped. The baby can get caught between the seat and frame. Our 4 months old son has had an issue with his leg being potentially caught between the seat and frame while the seat is swinging. Fisher Price was very willing to accept back the swing and offer a refund. I have always purchased, and will continue to purchase, Fisher-Price products. But this is one product that should also be included in the recall.

Worth it!
This swing is awesome. We have one that is a lot bigger and plays music. My daughter really enjoys this one. It is very portable and small so it isn't taking up much space.

Another great item for your baby-soothing arsenal!
We purchased the Fisher-Price Open Top Take-Along Swing a few months ago for our daughter, and have been very pleased with its quality and performance. We haven't had any problems with the operation of the swing, even as our little one has grown to her present weight of 18+ lbs. It runs on C batteries, which for us seem to last almost a month with moderate use.

This swing has several great features. It folds up very easily and really is as portable as claimed. It pops right in the trunk for trips to Grandma's house, and I've also used it quite a bit in the backyard when I want to do yard work. Having a 5 year-old in the house, I also appreciate being able to quickly carry it from room to room. Being only a flat 5 foot tall with short (and admittedly weak) arms, I have a lot of difficulty carrying the swing with the baby in it, but the swing is lightweight enough to carry one-handed while the baby's in the other arm.

Though I'm pleased with this swing, I'd really recommend it in *addition* to a traditional baby swing rather than instead of one. The compact nature of this swing means that the rocking motion is very fast-moving, unlike the slow, soothing motion of taller swings. My daughter seems to like the Take-Along Swing just fine when she's in an alert, awake mood. When she's tired, however, it just goes too quickly, even on the lowest setting, and seems to overstimulate her rather than calm her down. I'd originally purchased this with the idea of replacing our full-sized Graco swing, but we've ended up keeping both around as they seem to fill different needs. Overall, I'd certainly recommend this swing - but if you're only going to have one swing in your house, you might consider whether you'd be more grateful for a big swing that rocks your baby to sleep, or this little one that entertains during those fussy, bouncy times.

Great Swing
My daughter received this for a shower gift. She takes it everywhere! She loves it. It is light and easy to fold up. Her son falls asleep in it quickly. What a nice gift! Now with the price at $19.00 each and free shipping with $25.00 purchase, I just ordered 2 for gifts!

Had to return swing
My baby absolutely loves her regular swing so we thought this would be a great travel swing. She cried everytime we put her in it. It really does not provide a full swing motion. She tends to like her swing on the highest setting and this swing barely moved in either direction.

Good for little babies - but not for big
This worked great for my little guy for months. But since he got to about 14 lbs, the thing barely moves - even with new batteries and on the highest speed. That's fine for us - we got good use out of it because he's 8 months and crawling now - but I know many babies reach 14 lbs much sooner! He still likes to swing though, and it is a disappointment I have to kick it with my foot to keep him swinging! They say birth to 2 years but obviously not!

Did not like this swing
I tried Fisher-Price's Take-Along Jungle Swing then this Open Travel Swing. In both swings my baby would lean forward and fold himself in half in the seat. The Jungle swing was difficult to haul around since it didn't stay closed well and the "palm tree" was always in the way. Finally I bought the Fisher-Price Aquarium Swing. I found the seat of the Aquarium swing to be deeper and it clicks in place (so it won't fold over on baby) and it is easier to assemble and haul around.
