This swing was  a true lifesaver! It was amazing! Granted didn't last too long because it's meant for infants only really. It does hold up to 30 pounds but what 2 year old wants to sit in a swing? So It lasted from birth to about 7-8 months with us! Great music on it as well. My daughter was colicky, wouldn't sleep anywhere but my arms. Well we bought this swing when she was about a week old. She slept in it every night for 4 months! Granted I did replace a lot of batteries, but it was a small price to pay. I could actually roll around in bed again finally. I would wake up and my arm was all cramped...
