How well does this swing work as baby grows? Will it still swing the same when baby is heavier or will it get slower?

It will slow down as baby grows and mine completely stopped working at 5 months old. These motors are awful. I'd choose a different brand. I regret getting this swing.

My son is now 4 months old and 16 pounds and the swing does swing a little slower now that he's heavier I've had to move from speed 3 to speed 4 but the swing still works great and worth every penny I spent!

It'll bounce if you manually move it or the baby is big enough to move it when they kick, but it will not bounce on it's own, but it does vibrate.

If you swing it manually, it will go side to side as well. What we do is swing it manually until the baby falls asleep, then switch it to automatic. When it's on auto, it goes front to back only.

I have swung on this swing before without any difficulty. I have a 17 year-old daughter, and she and her friends have been able to use the swing as well. We attached a very long (20+ feet) rope to the rope included and have never had any difficulty. This is my second purchase of this swing( we moved and left it behind for our renter's children). I would highly recommend it.

25lbs. We had the older girl version of this swing and it swung my daughter with no issues at 21 lbs at 10 months old.

I have used mine for all three of my children and it fit all of them until they were around a year old or a bit older. It does make some noise but mine is no louder then and other devise that is motorized for babies. Such as a baby swing is. The big difference is that this device is for a baby to lie down in, there is no way for the baby to sit up in it.

Hi Brittany, I am not sure on that difference between swings. I just ordered one that came up and I don't know that mine has that option, it might be something new that they added to swing. I know mine can turn to swing sideways or forward swing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I do know that this swing is very quiet and it has the option to plug into wall, which saves huge on batteries. My baby loved it from newborn to up to 4 months, but he got too big for it by then and also had other interests. When they are little though it helps them to take a nice nap and gives Mommy a break too.

Depends on size of childHe will outgrow it pretty fast though, you might want to invest in bigger swing set with slide

mine doesn't spin as easily as others that we've used but my baby is only 6 mos so i'm not sure if it'll work better when she gets bigger

All three of my kids (120lbs, 90lbs, 50lbs) have been on the swing. The swing supports them very well, it's finding rope/wire/chain that doesn't break after a couple of weeks of crazy swinging. Of course a branch or structure that is strong enough is important too. It's a great swing, they love it!

you can use the swing up until 15 months my child is not that age but my sister has one and she uses it for her 15 month daughter but not much longer. My son and my niece don't take to the swing well, it is a bit hard and then to put extra patting just make the straps unable to keep your child in. I tried to return it but it was too late.

My son is 4 months/ 18lbs and 25 inches. His feet hang off the end and we have to use it on 6 (the highest setting). It still moves smoothly but it's MUCH slower than it was when he was small.

I tested this well built swing with 200 lb. weight before using. It's built for a small toddler so weight limit is not an issue. You will not be disappointed - the swing is very high quality (materials and construction)!

I think it bounces pretty well, but it's going to depend on the weight and aggression of the child. My two granddaughter's 3 yrs and 20 months love it. The older one only weighs a couple pounds more than the baby, but she's much more aggressive and can really get Blaze "rockin'"! The little one does more rock than bounce, but she loves it too.....and so far (since Christmas) his sounds work great....it's not overly loud....but loud enough unless you're in a room with a bunch of screaming kids! They ride it a LOT! I will say that the baby was a little apprehensive at first because it's taller than the old "little" one they have, but once she got used to it and got her balance, she loves it....She does need help getting on yet because she's just too short. I would definitely buy it again!! Regarding the stiffness of the springs: They are somewhat stiff so up and down bouncing is somewhat minimal, but if they were much looser, I think you'd get a lot of side to side rocking and likely unseat the little riders. The back and forth rocking is great!

We used it for a few months. It could have held her up until now (she is a year old) but we mostly used it from when she was born until 4 months of age. It is a little pricey but when you have a baby that is soothed by the swing its priceless :) I resold mine for half what I paid.

The max weight is 25lbs. My LO is 4 months and already at 22lbs and the swing has not had any problems. This is out second swing by Fisher Price the first one was a 6 year-old hand me down that worked great - it's now at Grandma's. I also found it swung/performed better if the stand legs are spread out as wide as possible.
