Can the snug &amp; secure seat swings be substituted on this set fairly easily ? My twins are only 10 months old right now. What is estimated setup time ?

It only takes a minute to swap the seats. Just unhook the original seats and hook the baby seat on the rings.

I have removed the existing swings and replaced them with 3 different kinds now. As my grandchildren grow, they like different things. So to answer your question, assuming you only need the two hooks, you are fine, in fact, the hooks that came with the unit are great. And as I am typing this, I looked at the glider and had to laugh as that is the EXACT glider I have used on my set. That is too funny, and children love that glider. Our neighbors kids come over all the time and use it. You will be really happy and the old swings are easy to remove and the new glider hooks right up :)

I did find the directions on how to modify the battery operated swings to the ac adapter. It definately will not look manufacturer quality, however the money you spend in batteries will be worth it. http://russelldad.blogspot.com/http://russelldad.blogspot.com/2007/09/baby-swing-batteries-be-gone.html

The swing were actually using is from our outdoor play system so I would say yes. You may need to make a trip to the hardware store to get some different fasteners, but with very little trouble it's super flexible to attach many things to. :)

this particular item is for a newborn up till your child is 3. It rocks but also it can be used as a chair. My daughter didnt like the swing we had, it was a Graco swing. And we had a jumperoo for her, which she did like..but that is more for exercise and activity. This is good if your doing things around the house and you can strap your child in while he or she is drinking a bottle. Or if your in the bathroom and you want to keep an eye on your child you can bring this in the bathroom with you and strap your child in. Really there is not much you nessacarily NEED...its more of what will your child like and what will fit your lifestyle in your household. Your child can also sleep in this, there is a strap in the back that unclicks and it the back falls down a bit so your child is laying. I like this chair personally and my daughter likes it. Shes now 18 months. To answer your question this doesn't replace say a swing. but again its about what you want your child to have and think what he or she would like.

I think it is safer. The weight bars are not meant for swinging. Plus the rings are easy for changing different swings. I think it was the best investment I purchased for my sensory seeker child!

I have had it for half a year and still love it. I am over 200lbs and have no issue with multiple family members swinging at once. Also, with three little kids, it gets jumped on a bit and I have had no issues. Remember it is 100% self assembly, so be sure everything is put together correctly and tightly and you should be good.

Best bet is to call Fisher Price. If they didn't help!! try buying an cheap old swing from craigslist or ebay and replace the seat cover with the one you bought (after washing it or cleaning it well) Also, if you know a good tailor, maybe he/she can sew one for you. I am just trying to give you ideas. I hope you find a new seat cover soon.

No it's not, I have the same travel system. I guess you can buy little vibrating pads for under a crib mattress (the only reason I wanted this snug glider was bc my son liked to nap in his carseat, and it vibrated) if I had to do it over again, I'd buy a vibrating mat thing and put it in the carseat! The glider is only compatible with the graco infant seats up to 22 or 32 lbs, I had the snugride 35 and it was too heavy for this swing.

My son swapped out 1 of the swing seats for a baby swing and it only took a couple of minutes. It took him 2-3 hours to put it together but he had an almost 3 year old helper.

Definitely! Fit well at initial (safest) set up. As babies (twins) have gotten older had to adjust seat down so infant insert doesn't fit as snugly/safely, but I also worry less now about them tumbling out after I remove tray. Depending on height of table may need to adjust seat up or down, but is very easy! LOVE our keekaroos!

Yes, that's what we did... just orient the panels correctly and there is no end to how many 6-panel sets you can attach; it's better to have a few spare panels anyway in case you want to modify the play-yard. Another tip: We recommend that you angle the corners where the panels meet (sort of like in the main product photo), so it is more stable... keeping multiply connected panels in a straight position is not as stable and will bend when baby leans on it; an alternative is to fasten the panels to wall and/or floor.

I can tell you that I haven't had any issues with my swing at all and my baby is 12 pounds now, and then add blankets, etc. Ours had worked just fine every time so far without fail.

It is difficult. It would be good if you could make the straddle where it would snap for small babies and unsnap as the baby gets a little larger. I think the straddle piece is the problem. I have to have a second person to help me a fish him out. He is at a weight that i don't think he need the straddle piece. He is about 28 pounds now and 18 months old. Don't see it a hazard removing the straddle at this weight and age. I don't use everyday being that I am the grandparent but it would be a hassle used everyday by myself.

Yes and we use it exclusively. I highly recommend this swing because the seat detaches and can go with you from room to room. If the baby needs the rocking motion then you can just replace the chair and turn it on. I'm not sure why anyone would think this swing is a waste of money when it is so versatile.

You should go with a baby bucket swing with its own chains and hook them to the clamps on the top bar--the swings that come with the set are secured to their chains with heavy-duty S hooks which would be extremely difficult to open up; however the clamps at the top of the chains open easily.

Other than the canopy, I wouldn't know....the discs came with screw-ins, which hold the canopy secure...take a look at a diagram of the swing setif you still have it...good luck. JL
