[blparent] swing recommendation

[Brandy W]

I think you may have missed some of the posts. I no longer nanny, but
instead provide care from my home for 3 infants. I have a swing but it is
eating batteries, so I was simply seeing what others had recently liked and
used. I'm looking for one of the FP cradle swings that plugs in at this
point. Also sometimes when I do nanny I provide things if I don't like what
they have for whatever reason.

I'm confused. Brandi, do you have children? I ask because I think I remember
a post saying that you were a nanny. In that case, let the parents provide
the swing, it's their kid and their house. 
If you're purchasing for a daycare, I'd get one that can withstand lots of
use, probably the cradle swing others mention. 
And, confession time, I cried when my daughter outgrew her bouncy seat. She
didn't use it much, it was mostly justa nice place to put her down. It is
also the seat from which she first gave Daddy the finger. She had no clue
what she was doing, because she was like a month old, but oh was that funny!
If you share why you want or need to make this purchase, maybe we can advise
better?

I would hesitate to buy a big ticket item like a swing until just before
baby comes. That way, if he or she hates it, you can return it, and use that
money for things you'll actually use. In our case, Elise loved her swing. It
was the only thing she'd sleep in for the longest time, and when she outgrew
it, I thought I'd need a support group. However, her bouncy seat was a
different story. We probably used it 5 times. She just hated it, and wanted
nothing to do with it. Other parents have reported the exact opposite set of
circumstances to me.
