This swing is so cute. I love the fabric. The toys are cute too :) Swings are one of those things that work wonders for some babies and for other babies they just downright hate it. Our first wouldn't sit in the thing for more than a few minutes. Our second did okay in it. She went through a difficult time, where not much would calm her. She took her naps in this swing. It worked! I like that you can adjust how fast the swing swings. That's helpfu. You don't want to rock your newborn crazy! While there are a bunch of songs on there, they are ALL annoying. The nature/white noise sounds are great though. Helped our baby fall asleep. I also liked that the swing seat is really a bouncy seat, so you get two things in one. Saves space and money. It wasn't our favorite bouncy seat though. It would only be in a reclined position and I don't think it would sit up any more. All in all, we were meh about the swing, it's a good thing we paid a small price for it off of craigslist!

Couldn't do without this combo swing/bouncer!!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

We love this combination swing/bouncer.  As parents of twins we already have so much baby stuff and were dreading having 2 swings AND 2 bouncer seats!  Instead we bought 2 of these.  They are constantly in use and we have not had to change the batteries yet (so far it's been a little over 3 months)!  This save us space since the bouncer hooks up to the swing.  When we want to visit the grandparents we are able to just detach the bouncer seat from the swing and take it with us!  It may seem a little expensive at ~$130 but if you look at the prices for a swing and a bouncer it is comparable...plus it saves you space in your house!  The print on it is very tasteful too, I don't mind having it sitting in our living room!

Great Concept But Poor Quality!

Overall
Rated 1 out of 5

I couldn't wait to buy this swing, not only because it was a Graco product, which by baby standards is one of the best companies & products but because of the 2 in 1 concept!! I thought was a great money saver, space saver & a breakthrough in swing technology. I loved being able to take the bouncer right now with just the click of a button. Well after the long process of putting it together I realized the tray didn't work properly on the swing. It wouldn't sit correctly and unsure why it needed a tray anyways, so it was never put on after. I got my newborn home, used this swing only for it to break 10 days later! The motor makes a loud noise and then if I plugged it in it would swing at full...

Graco Swing n' Bounce Swing is not worth the money.

Overall
Rated 2 out of 5

The Graco Swing n' Bounce Swing was not worth the money for my family since my kids didn't really like to swing or bounce. However, if your kid likes to swing, then maybe this product would be good for your family. It was nice that I could use it as a safe place for my child to sit and to play. Sometimes he would take a nap in the seat since it was comfortable. It has a very soft cushion and extra head support. The swing has cute toys attached to it that can also be removed and used elsewhere. I liked the way that it looked. The fabric pattern was the same as my Graco car seat and stroller. The swing is pretty bulky, so it is hard to store. The swing was expensive but it seems well made. I have used the swing for both my kids and plan on passing it on to family so it is pretty durable. It vibrates, plays music and has different swing speeds. It is easy to accidently leave the vibrating feature on when not in use and that can waste alot of batteries.

Loved the Graco Swing n' Bounce Swing

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

This was a great swing and bouncer for my babies, I loved everything about except that the swing wore out about 6 months after buying, for the price I would expect it to work longer then that. I think next time I will buy a different brand.

great space saver!

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

My ds is 3mths and the swing/bouncy seat is great! The only problem I have had is the tray on it gives me issues with snapping together other than the battery issue (be smart and by rechargeables). He does not care for the music that it comes with, he cries everytime i put it on! I love the fact that it is 2 in one that is what sold me, because all the things that have taken over my living room that is one less thing sitting in my floor. Yes it is a bit pricey but worth not having another item to move around!  Although if your child has chubby legs then the tray will not work with your child and you can not remove it (i tried)!

My Graco Heirloom swing is perfectly neutral

Overall
Rated 4 out of 5

I received this swing handed down from a friend after she used it for her two daughters and it was still in excellent condition after being used for my two sons. It is certainly a durable product for multiple children. The head support and swing cover are removable and machine washable which is a big deal for a busy mom! The seat part is removable and can be used seperate from that swing as a vibrating/bouncy seat. This was my favorite feature since both my boys loved their "shakey" seats! The swing also has four adjustable speed settings and plays several different songs and bird noises. There are also two toys attached to the swing tray and a bar over the swing with hanging toys and a mirror. The hanging toys are velcroed on so when the baby learns to grasp they can remove the toys themselves. I love the black and white toile pattern as it is gender neutral and fits in with most room decor since it isn't the traditional pink or blue. Overall I really liked this swing!

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

Bearings wore out quick...battery sucker

Overall
Rated 1 out of 5

This was one of the worst experiences I have had with a swing or bouncer. For one, the bearings were done for, after 4 months of use. I used it approx. every other day. It would get baby to sleep but it was a horrible battery sucker. I changed the batteries a lot. My baby also seemed to get used to the vibration so I think that the high vibration should have been stronger. I like the paisley design and the unique browns. I liked that it did turn into a bouncer. I liked that even after the bearings were gone it rocked just barely enough to help my baby get to sleep. But I believe it was a huge waste of money and I would have returned it if I did have the box or didn't misplace the receip...

Graco Swing and Bouncer combo

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

The Graco swing and bounce combination has been a great solution to not having to buy a swing and bouncy chair! 

Positive & Negative:

   -Easy to use

   -Chair has a snack tray to place toys on, and also features two toys attached. These are what my girls both love to play with the most.

   -The bouncy chair also has a vibation feature with two modes. The batteries in this feature last a very long time. I have only had to replace them once after a year of use!

   -The bouncy chair is easy to remove at the click of two buttons. When replacing you have to be sure that they chair is level once it clicks in (there are plastic indicatiors bel...

The Graco Swing N Bounce infant swing is a lifesaver!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

The Graco Swing N Bounce 2 and 1 infant swing is a swing and removable bouncer seat.  It has 6 swing speeds, 3 recline positions, and vibrates at two speeds.  It also plays music and nature sounds and comes with toys on a toy bar.  I bought this before I had my son and I love it, so does my son.  I am able to recline him to play or nap and the various songs and sounds soothe him into a deep sleep.  The two vibrating speeds help calm a fussy baby or just feels good while your baby plays.  Also, being able to take it apart lets you be able to take your baby comfy area anywhere in the house while still being able to vibrate.  The seat is very plush and ke...

this is better than a play pen

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

the Grayco Baby Swing is the best, easy to keep clean. Childern really are busy in this swing. This a wide base and a low center of gravity so they won't tip over if baby manages to lean in one direction. Just like in car seats, a seat belt is necessary and a 5-point harness is best. Newborns are particularly good at curling up and slipping around inadequate seat belt systems, so the hip straps are important even for babies who don't seem to wiggle a lot. 3-in-1 with full-size open-top swing, an infant seat and a toddler rocker; seat easily removes from the swing frame so mom can move baby around the house or can put the swing frame away when child is older; 2 soothing speeds, 5 songs, volume control, and a toybar with two removable toys. Infant seat has fold-out kick-stand for feeding or sleeping. As baby grows, the seat also converts to a toddler rocking chair that accommodates a child up to 40lbs

It's ok

Overall
Rated 3 out of 5

We received the Graco swing as a gift after having our first baby. The swing is ok. Our first baby would do ok in the swing for a short amount of time - but not long. It seemed as though the speed was either too slow or too fast for our first baby. We kept the swing and thought we'd try it out with our second. The same thing happened with our second...baby was just not happy in it. I'm not entirely convinced that it was the swing - it just was not soothing for our children. I did like the reclining positions the swing offers as well as the classical music - which did seem to help calm and keep our baby occupied while in the swing. The mobile that came with the swing did not "move. The support bar in the back of the seat also seemed to come loose at times as well as the legs of the swing - this happened while in use with our second baby, and therefore we discontinued use of the swing.

So glad i bought this one

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

I love this swing.  At first I admit I was attracted to it for how it looked, but I love that it is a combo and it is highly practical too.  My baby if 5 months old I use it almost every day for half hour to two hours and have only changed the batteries once.  She loves the nature sounds, (though I find the heartbeat noise kinda scary!)  This swing is well worth the money.

Love this swing - one of our best purchases!

Overall
Rated 5 out of 5

This swing was one of the best purchases we made.  It not only saves space by having your bouncer and swing all in one, but the music and nature sounds are great and loved the fact that it has 6 speeds.  My baby used this everyday and loved it - both swing portion and bouncy seat.  I am so glad we purchased it and would recommend this to anyone with a new baby.  It's the best!
