Wondering if the Simple Sway is an acceptable swing for newborns
I've been looking at the Graco Simple Sway Swing because of the small footprint and the side to side motion. However, I've seen reviews saying the head support is not great for newborns. Anyone have experience with this?

Review: Great until it broke after a few weeks
I loved this swing for the first month. It calmed my baby instantly. But then the motor started making a whining noise and just stopped. Now it won't turn on at all. Really disappointed given the cost.

Comparison between Graco and Fisher-Price swings, plus Mamaroo mention
We had the Graco Simple Sway and my baby didn't really take to it. Ended up liking a basic Fisher-Price bucket swing better. I think the side to side just wasn't his thing. Also heard mixed things about Mamaroo - some babies love it, some hate it.

Help choosing between bouncer and swing; multiple positive Graco mentions
I got the Graco Simple Sway and it's been a lifesaver. My 3-month-old naps in it and I can get stuff done. The vibration and music keep her happy. Only complaint is it doesn't fold up for storage.

Swing stopped working, safety issue with cord and motor failure
My Graco Simple Sway just died after 2 months. The cord is fine but it won't turn on. I've read about many with the same problem. Not safe if it stops suddenly while baby is in it.

Multiple babies, multiple swings; Graco motor burnout mentioned
We have twins and went through two Graco Simple Sway swings in 6 months. Both motors stopped. Switched to a different brand for reliability. The sway motion is nice but not worth the headache.
