I bought this swing because I loved the cradle and swing settings, not to mention the cutness factor was top notch. However, I was shortly disapointed. I used it once before my baby was born just for fun and it worked GREAT. Then when the baby came, we tried it again to have the motor start making LOUD noises. A month or so later it started not turning off. I would "turn it off" only for it to keep going. I would then have to pry off the battery compartment to pull out a battery for it to stop. Then it started ONLY playing the song no matter what I chose (water, rain, etc). Now it doesn't play any sounds and won't swing my son who is only 18lbs.
