Fisher price snugabunny swing

So my husband and I bought our DS (who is 14 weeks old) a swing when he was about a week old and the darn motor stopped working less then 2.5 months of owning it. So I called fisher price and they sent me a new one and that stopped working within a week. Has Anyone else had problems with theirs

I had the fisher price my little lamb swing and the motor messed up exactly a week after having it. Babies R Us let us exchange it for a new one.. we've had it 5 days now. So, we will see. :/

I have the snugabunny as well, but haven't been using it quite as long as you, DD is only five weeks.  If you read the reviews on amazon the motor going seems to be a common complaint, I'm waiting to see how long ours will last..

Ours works perfectly. That's so odd.

Yep. I have the snuggamonkey one and it doesn't always swing. Annoying.

We have that same swing and use it daily, it's been a lifesaver for me. We haven't had any issues with it.

I had the natures touch papasan swing by fisher price with my last DD. One night it stopped working so I ran out and bought the snuggabunny swing. It worked fine while she used it and we packed it away for the next baby when she was done with it. DS was born in September and we started using it again, only to have it stop working as well. I called fisher price and even though it had been a year and a half since we purchased it, they still sent us a new motor free of charge. Their customer service was great and I was extremely happy they replaced it for free but I don't understand why, when there seem to be so many people having the same issue, they can't seem to just fix the problem with the swings! My two youngest both had/have reflux and this swing is the only way any of us get sleep! Love the swing but seem to find myself expecting it to stop working again at any moment.

I have the same swing. My Lo is only 3 weeks and hardly like being in it as of now. So we'll see. Hopefully it works a lot longer considering how expensive it was.

We had similar problems. 1st motor burnt out within a month now the 2nd one seems to be dying. We've always pushed the swing to help the motor start and we don't use it excessively, but it is still poorly performing. So disappointing. You'd think FP would make sure the replacement motor would work! I'm just going to call again report the problem.

We have the snugabunny and it runs all the time, LO really favors it. We havent had any sort of problems with ours.
