My husband and I bought the Graco Duo 2-in-1 Plug-In Swing & Bouncer - Carlisle by Graco, not seeing it in person, just by internet. I had done my homework, a lot of research and read my fair share of reviews to make sure the product we were getting would be useful and worth it's weight in gold. Boy, was I glad when this arrived on our porch!

We used the swing part for quite some time until our youngin' decided he didn't like to swing anymore. However, it does a great job. It has 6 different speeds, a timer, a volume adjuster, 3 stuffed animal puppies to watch (which move back and forth when the swing is in motion) and either music or nature sounds while swinging. On that note, the music was nice but the nature sounds were crackly. Also, when it is in swinging motion you can hear the gears/motor, but it isn't an awful noise, just noticeable.

We use the bouncer part very often. Obviously it doesn't bounce on its own, so we bounce it for him until he is big enough to do it by himself. It does have two vibration settings that he seems to find soothing at times. It also has a restraint system so the baby doesn't fall forward. We followed the directions and placed the tray on the seat, but after we had it on there for about a week we wished we would have left it off. Not that it isn't useful, I just don't like having the tray on there for our child's needs and my likings.

One other feature that I found very nice about this product was that the seat can be placed in three different positions, for your growing child: reclined, semi-reclined and upright. I didn't figure this out until about the 3rd or 4th time putting the seat back on the swing arms.

The instructions were standard. Not too hard, but of course you have to have common sense to assemble this product.

Hope this helps you in your decision making. :)

Motor stopped working after using this swing less than 10 times. My son is only 2 months old and now that he can finally sit comfortably in this swing, it broke.

We have used this swing and bouncer since our son was born! At first, we had him sleeping in it because the seat reclines to a position that lays back but keeps him up enough (good for reflux). He is currently 10 1/2 months old and is almost too big for it. We have used this nearly every day! The only issue is that the tray can be hard to close.

Our twins prefered the Fisher Price Snuggle Bunny swing. This graco swing was noisy, not soft or well padded, poor music choices, and not as cute as the Fisher Price one so we returned it and got two Fisher Price Snuggle Bunny Swings.

The swing was bought for my brand new grandbaby girl. We love it cause it soothes her and rocks her to sleep with the peaceful sounds. I think this product is terrific and I would buy it again.

Loved the idea of the two in one use. Baby is two weeks old, and hasn't liked the swing the two times we tried it. Have not tried it just as a bouncer yet because of the tray. I really wish it was removable! I don't ever see us needing the tray, and almost want to break it off! I don't think we would have put it on if we realized it was permanent. It makes the whole thing look really uncomfortable for a newborn.

This was a great swing up until today. This swing is the only way my daughter will nap and the motor just gave out. I do not recommend this swing

I fell in love with this swing the moment i saw it in the store. The 2 in 1 feature was exactly what i was looking for. I received it when my son was a week old and loved it even more after using it. It was easy to put together and the seat goes on and off easily. However my son just turned 5 months old and the swings motor stopped working. It was not over worked or over used. I am very disappointed in this product, I wish it held up better.

Love that it has 3 positions for the chair and that you can remove the chair. It is slightly noisy (a ticking from the motor) so if your child is really sensitive to noise it may not be the right choice. The toy bar isn't the greatest but you can attach toys to the tray. Also the tray is not removable, it hasn't bothered sam yet and hopefully it won't be a problem. We really like the swing. Plus the plug in is so nice! Over all good swing for the money and the romovable chair is a plus.

I don't know what we would have done without this swing! My son has GERD (acid reflux) and loves sleeping in the upright position. It is very easy to remove the seat from the swing to use it as a bouncer. The vibrating seat is also a great feature. I just purchased the portable 2 in 1 to leave at my parents and use when we go on vacation. The non-portable one folds in half, easy to store, but it still semi bulky. Hopefully the portable one will be easier to travel with. Product was easy to assemble & light weight. I can move it from room to room with no problems.
