RIP Good Old Swing. Your Untimely Death Has Caused Chaos In My Household!

Sophie about a year ago in our beloved swing.

All Hell has broken loose in my home today, as we mourn the loss of our Fisher Price Ocean Wonders swing...Which just happens to be the ONLY place Xander likes to nap. I think that due to his reflux, he is much more comfortable sleeping in an upright position. I have tried using the incline wedges in the crib and that does not work...As a matter of fact, he screams bloody murder! We also have a MamaRoo, and while he likes being awake in it and enjoying the range of motions, he will not go to sleep in it...Same goes for his bouncy seat! And while he will sleep in his carseat at his God-Parents' house, he will have nothing of it here at home.

We replaced the batteries yesterday in the swing thinking they had died. Then this morning, we noticed the swing wouldn't work, so we replaced the batteries AGAIN...Nope. Did not work. I am sad to say that our beloved swing has "passed away." This is cause for a minor emergency here at my house, and Xander has NOT been happy today...At all....As a matter of fact, he's been downright ornery.

So now we are in the market for a new swing. We have a spare, but it isn't working right, either! Here are some that I have found online and love the looks of. Hopefully, I will be fortunate enough to get one to review one...Hey, a gal can dream, right?!

Don't these look great!? I am saddened and frustrated by the death of our swing, but look forward to trying something new as well. Does your baby like the swing? What kind do YOU use? What are your favorite features? I would love to hear about them!
