There should be a recall, and Graco has agreed with me that there is an issue with this swing.I never felt like my baby sat right in this swing. He was completely on his side with his head slumped and chin tucked all the way on one side of the swing. I figured he was too small for the swing and his age of two weeks was the issue.I tried again at seven weeks, after he gained a huge amount of net control and weight/height. But he had the same problems. I started to inspect the swing and realize that one side had 4 inches more material than the other side causing my baby to completely fall into the side as the seat was deeper there. This is a huge risk for positional asphyxiation. This swing could be fatal.I freaked out and contacted Graco because I bought the swing months before my sons birth so I couldn’t return it here.Graco reacted immediately, and after receiving pictures they asked for the manufacture date to do an investigation and sent me a brand new swing that same week as well as a paid shipping label to bring my swing back to them to look at. They never asked me questions, they never put up a fight, and I’m now starting to realize it’s because they know this is a problem and they’ve been sweeping it under the rug.After posting online, I found that 90% of other people with this swing have had the same issue. Many people never end up using the swing at all because they felt like it just wasn’t right but thought it was them. I was in the same boat, not using the swing until I contacted Graco and they took me seriously. The others that I’ve spoken to have said their issues go as far back as 2016. I think this is been an ongoing issue that Graco simply has not wanted to deal with. With all the attention I’ve brought I’m hoping change will come before a baby loses their life.I’ve bought a lot of attention to it online, and I would not be surprised if they recalled the swing entirely. They honestly should.I received the new swing and it is 100% perfect. If you buy the swing, you might also get a perfect one. It’s motor swing is awesome, the songs are great, and I loved it otherwise. It’s a solid sim wing feature wise! But you also might get one that’s completely messed up. If you do I implore you to contact Graco and not Babyz Corner. Graco needs to know that this is not OK and that they’ll have to pay to replace the wonky ones. I wonder how many of these were just returned without contact to Graco. If Graco has to start paying up for their mistakes maybe they won’t make the mistakes at all.Graco paid for absolutely everything to be replaced, and by sharing my story I may have saved another babies life. I know I sound like a paranoid mom but trust me if you saw my kid in the swing you’d understand. I never even took a picture because it I never left him in it longer than a few seconds dude to breathing issues.As a sidenote, while I’m talking about infant safety and swings, it’s never OK for a baby to sleep in a swing. Even if you’re watching, It could be fatal due to positional asphyxiation, which is silent motionless and takes less than a minute because of swings inclines.Don’t avoid this swing but if you get a bad one talk to Graco don’t just return it here. They will make it right and we can make a change at the same time.
