Product Description
Graco Lovin Hug Swing A Graco swing offers comfort and security for families, babies especially, which are always on the go. Whether it's to the backyard, across town, or out-of-state, babies and parents will love the familiarity of having their Graco baby swing with them. This infant swing is a family favorite because of the curved frame design, which mimics a mother's arms, securely holding and comforting the baby. Infant swings are extremely important to the family and this one is no different. One of the tremendous features on this Graco infant swing is the 30 lbs weight limit. It is a feature which distinguishes the Lovin Hug from other Graco swings. The mobile on the baby Graco swing rotates and doesn't even require additional batteries! The child will have visual stimulation because of the three soft toys which are provided. The Graco swing features an easy entry tray so mom or dad will never get crossed up when placing baby into the swing. A Graco product is something which is extremely durable and will last a long time.

 Who needs a rocking chair?! August 28, 2008
V. (Maryland)
We purchased this item to see if it would help calm our fussy newborn baby, and it has helped a lot. It runs on 3 'D' batteries. I thought it came with an AC adapter so we could plug it in, but it does not. Our little guy will only fall asleep if we put the speed on setting '5'; anything lower and he cries. The table tray gets in the way and can't be removed. Since you have to put it together yourself, I recommend not attaching the tray until you want to start using it. Very easy to put together. Mobile bears should be more colorful.
Very satisfied August 15, 2008

I bought this swing for my new grandson who is now 3 months old. Being "out of the loop" so to speak for so many years as far as baby products go, I did a little research and decided on the Graco Lovin Hug swing and I'm very glad I did. It is well constructed, easy to get him in and out of, and very comfortable for my little guy, who really seems to enjoy it when he comes to visit. And of course, at Amazon.com, I found the best price which made Grandmom very happy! The only thing I wondered about was why the mobile animals weren't more colorful instead of boring white!
 excellent product August 13, 2008

very happy with this product. Another plus is baby weight can be up to 30 lb that other swing cannot. I always like to buy from Amazon because Amazon carries good products
LOVE this swing August 9, 2008

I bought a second hand swing at a thrift store and used it every day for about a month before the motor died; our baby loves to swing for naps and when I'm showering, cooking or otherwise can't hold her. I immediately began researching for a new swing and ordered this one Sunday night. The swing arrived the following Friday afternoon. She and we LOVE this swing!
Our baby is 12 lbs, 24 inches, 11 weeks old. The seat is deep so we have to put a little pillow in the bottom for her to sit on, otherwise she slides forward and is too slumped to be comfortable. I'm glad the swing is deep because she'll be able to use it as she grows. I've read reviews that said the tray is hard to open and makes a loud noise; I find the tray easy to open with one hand and it's very quiet if you're careful. If you're in a hurry it does make a snapping sound as it clicks into place. We ditched the mobile because it interferes with the swinging arm (as someone else noted in his review) and the toys are directly over the baby's head where she can't see them anyway. Will have to think of a solution when baby really starts noticing toys.
The swing has 6 settings; we use the high setting to calm her and help her get to sleep as recommended by Dr.Karp in "Happiest Baby on the Block", then put the swing on a low setting while she sleeps. The swing has a timer option but if you don't use the timer, it DOESN'T automatically shut off as other swings do. We like that it works continuously since she sleeps in the swing at night (right beside my side of the bed where I hear her every sniff and sigh). She was sleeping five hours at a time in her co-sleeper but in the swing she sleeps up to 12 hours with one night-time feeding.
I feel comfortable letting her sleep in the swing since we swaddle her tightly (also rec. by Karp) and the swing is deep as noted above. We don't use the complicated 5 point straps since we swaddle her and use the tray for restraint. Even when she isn't swaddled we feel safe leaving her unstrapped (with an adult monitoring in the same room) and she is very active--always kicking and flailing her arms while awake. She can't turn herself over yet though, so we may have to use the straps later. Another reason we feel safe letting her sleep in the swing is that even with poor neck strength at this age, her head doesn't flop forward even on the highest setting. I haven't had to adjust the swing back so can't comment on that; when we first put it together she reclined nicely in it.
I'm thrilled so far with the battery life. We've been using the swing every day and night for nine days now; we frequently use the high setting and the batteries show no sign of slowing.
Others have commented that the music is boring and "nature sounds" are horrible. They are. We don't use the music since she doesn't seem to care about it and we'd be better off turning on a CD of classical music instead. We don't use the nature sounds either since we use a floor fan for white noise that she likes, but in defense of Graco (whether they planned this or not) Karp points out that babies love white noise which is what the "nature sounds" sound like. White noise is similar to what baby hears in the womb--a loud shhhhhh as blood rushes through mother's circulatory system.
The swing is very quiet even on the high setting; as I said she sleeps in it beside me and I'm a light sleeper.
While the swing is bulky, I'm still able to pick it up and move it daily from bedroom to living room to kitchen without too much trouble. It's bulky but not heavy. The legs do fold for storage.
So the CONS for us---mobile is useless, have to push "off" button up to six times to get the swing to stop swinging, straps are laughably complicated---maybe to prevent older children from removing baby before mom has a chance to notice?? maybe to prevent lawsuits??
PROS for us---deep, large, comfy seat; weight limit 30lbs instead of more common 25 lbs; removable head immobilizer; quiet, easy to open tray; quiet motor; great speed settings; sturdy frame; fairly easy to move around house; no automatic shut off; long battery life with frequent swing use; removable, washable swing cover; easy to put together (30 minutes tops); reliable name brand; price is great esp. with Free Super Saver Shipping; and of course the baby LOVES this swing!
If the swing ends up having a short lifetime, I'll update my review.

This is the third swing my great granddaughter has had. The others almost stopped rocking as she gained weight(she just turned 5 months)but this swing is still going. It's good looking, sturdy, and we love it.
