2-in-1 for a busy Mom!
on February 15, 2018
Posted by: Dorthi
I was looking into getting a swing and a handy seat for my baby to sit in while I run around and try and do things around the house. Low and behold Graco developed the Duet Swing & Portable Rocker. I enjoy the ability of having a choice. I can be lazy and let the rocker do the work or take it off the stand rock her with my foot. Either way, it's cool to have options. The fabric is soft and I love the pattern! The only downside is that it tends to lean to the right when my five month old daughter sits in it while on the stand. The seat does have a five point harness, which is great for safety, but as a parent who is looking for efficiency, I'd rather have the usual two point lap belt for something that will definitely get used everyday. My daughter was born premature, so she is smaller for her age, so she is definitely not not the average weight for a five month old baby. It also scares me when she throws a fit and stretches her whole body and the seat, while on the stand, tips back. I can see this becoming a huge safety issue if she was bigger. Maybe a safety recall is in the near future for this product. I love the idea. I would make the seat seat deeper, longer and ensure it would not have any tipping hazards. And before I forget, while putting this together, I could not for the life of me get the screws to tighten on the legs to attach the feet to the stand. I had to call in reinforcements, first my oldest son who is sixteen, then my husband who also struggled at first them finally hulked out on them and got them to tighten. So moms beware, not an easy build!
Thank you. I was given this swing and rocker to try as part of the weeSpring Parent Panel.

Our baby loved it, but does require some assembly
on February 15, 2018

I received this product from the weeSpring Parent Panel. I love being able to transition from a swing to a rocker without having two products; that has saved valuable floor space in our small apartment. Assembly took some time, so we started using the rocker first and finally days later got the swing part built between naps #momlife. The rocker is easy to take off the swing, and our daughter likes looking up at the hanging stars which gives us some much needed time while she entertains herself

Calming and cozy for naps!
on February 15, 2018

I'm about to have my second child and really needed a portable rocker to have a place to put the baby down for naps around the house, while get some errands done.
What I mostly liked was how portable it is compared to other swings. My house has 3 floors so we'll definitely need to move the rocker around, it's great that's it's light and very versatile.
I really like that it has different positions (baby can recline to lay or be seated) and different moving directions, I can't wait to try it out, also a plus is the the AC adaptor, so we don't need to spend anything extra on batteries.
From what I remember with my last baby, vibrations were key to help her fall sleep, so I feel that with that feature it's a really perfect product, specially because it's so compact.
The only CON in my opinion is that I feel it could have more toys and entertainment, so the baby is excited to stay longer in the rocker when she is awake, but we have so many toys in the house that won't be a problem to have some always around the rocker.
Thanks to the weeSpring Parent Panel for providing me with this swing and rocker!

Finally - a swing my baby loves!
on February 15, 2018
Posted by: Lindsey P
My daughter loves this swing and it's an attractive piece of furniture. I love that the seat can be turned on the swing to face different directions, or removed and used as a bouncer. The swing is large but not obtrusive and the bouncer is smaller and more portable. It's easy to adjust and feels very sturdy, and getting my daughter in and out of the seat is simple. This swing is longer and wider than the two other swings we’ve borrowed, which is great because she’s really long and has nearly outgrown a few other brands. I wish the fabric were a darker color, the straps were longer, and that the assembly had been easier (the manual is downright perplexing!). But my baby lets me put her down in this for a full 20 minutes at a time, which makes it worth it’s weight in gold. She loves the music and the toy bar and thinks the vibration is hilarious. We're going to get tons of use out of this product. Thank you to weeSpring for sending me this awesome bouncer/swing to test and review!

Awesome swing!

The Graco Duet Sway is awesome! Its a bouncy seat and swing all in one! The seat detaches from the swing base and is portable, then l can move the baby around with me from room to room. As a bouncer it has all the features you would want; music, comfort and gentle vibration. As a swing its low profile and doesn't take up much space. The movement is smooth and the toy bar is adorable. We received this swing from the weeSpring Parent Panel and I couldn't be more impressed. My baby boy and I give it 5 stars!!

I love the amount of variations
on February 17, 2018

I received this product from the weeSpring Parent Panel. I honestly think this swing is wonderful, I love that it has not one, not two, but THREE different variations to how to you can use it. So we have the swing set up in our playroom, but if I’m cooking or doing something around the house I can easily detach the bouncer and bring that into whatever room I need it in. The fabric is super soft and cozy which is nice to put your new little baby on. I like the speeds of the swing and the ability to have vibrations on. The buckles are really easy to put on and take off of your baby, if my baby is sleeping when I put her in or take her out this hasn’t disturbed her.. the only thing I could say negatively is that the stars have just a small piece of Velcro to attach them which seems kind of flimsy if your baby can reach up and grab them.

Great Space Saver

The Graco Duet Sway Lx Swing that the weeSpring Parent Panel sent me to try out is awesome. You can eliminate some clutter by having the swing and bouncer in one. The Duet Sway LX has so many options I never missed haveing an individual swing and bouncer. The swing direction can easily be changed from front to back to a side to side sway, perfect for those days when baby just wants a change. It has plenty of music and sounds choices to suit my granddaughters mood. Detaching the bouncer is very easy and has 2 speeds, most bouncers only have one. I love the fabric! If I’m going to have baby supplies in my living room it’s nice not to have pink or blue! This fabric is very pretty but also very plush. The one thing I didn’t like about the Duet Sway LX was the toy bar. My granddaughter had no interest in it. It could have been made more interesting for a baby.
