Graco DuetConnect LX Baby Swing - Wales

whenever I was babysitting, I would just put the kids in this bouncer and it would put them right to sleep and it became their comfort item whenever they were crying excessively. I just knew that I could put the babies in there and they would be right to sleep it made my job so much easier as an aunt and as a babysitter. 

The sound function to play music and the bird noises barely works. At max volume you can BARELY hear it. My baby likes the bird noises normally but he can’t even hear it with this swing. Also, the swing itself creaks very loudly only after a week of use. I’m not expecting this to be a long lasting purchase which is pathetic due to it being over $200. Graco needs to do better and Target needs to sell better quality products.

Worked for about a week then completely died.

Not sure if I just got a defect one but hasn’t even been a month and it stopped working, at first I thought it was the cable so I tried another one worked for a day and went out again. I tried a different outlet around my house and nothing! I have twins and this is a NEED in my house! I love graco but this was just a huge fail!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love love love this swing bouncer combo. It’s comfortable and stable for my little one. It allows mobility while also having good ergonomics. It is versatile, allowing me to use the swing in one room and bring the bouncer into another.

I really liked it because it is comfortable and practical. The materials feel resistant and soft for the baby. The seat can be separated and is easy to assemble. It has beautiful sounds. And space for the baby to be well. It is definitely a good option for parents looking for comfort and functionality

Great swing.

Stopped swing after a month my baby’s not even three months old this is crazy to me Graco is supposed to have a good name but I wouldn’t buy another graco thing ever

asked for shipped. days later notice to pick up at store. got to store. told me I had download the app. I did. then it wouldn't allow curbside pickup.

With a new little one it was great to have somewhere safe to set them down so I could do mom life hands free for a moment. I love the double function of swing and bouncer. the bouncer mode was our little ones favorite and the vibration mode was a lifesaver for fussy moments. I didn’t love the swing mode as much because the different swing modes weren’t all the different from each other. Cleaning some parts of it were easier than others like the cover but the straps are difficult to get clean and reinstall. Overall the versatility is great idea and space saver, just used it more as a bouncer.

We absolutely adore the Graco DuetConnect swing and bouncer. We bought this for the grandparents house due to the 2 in 1 capabilities. The 2 in 1 capabilities of being a swing and a bouncer definitely give this product a good value for the money. It is easy to assemble, adjust, and maintenance is minimal. It swings and vibrates well with minimal noise. The only downside is that it is not very portable due to its size, however, we didn't really need it to be as it was staying in one location. This was great for months 0-5 months for my babies. Definitley would recommend!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] First impressions of the swing and bouncer: The box is compact, making me think the swing might also be somewhat small. It isn't! The swing itself is beautifully padded with luxurious feeling materials and super comfy for baby. It's a pretty sizeable situation, so consider your floor space and the product specifications. Con (singular!): Requires a D battery to operate the vibration feature of the bouncer. And this is only because a D cell battery is a bit of a pain to track down, these days! However, the option to use a battery for the SWING is actually a pro! I haven't encountered a swing of this size and feature level that did not mandate a wall plug for power. Pros: -The materials feel so lux. -The tunes are soothing, not obnoxious. The classical music options, especially, are fantastic! It doesn't feel like a repetitive situation, because there is such a long loop. -six speeds on the swing mean the little one can be soothed or entertained. Ours has found it both entertaining (grinning up at the two little hanging stars) and soothing (a couple of nice long naps have been had, while I get something done in the kitchen nearby!) -Although it seems a little goofy to have bouncer feet swinging back and forth, a two-in-one item is a great bonus in this design. -Two speeds for the bouncer vibration also offer options based on the size of baby and whether we are feeling lively or a little snoozy! Neutral Notes and Observations: -Set up was a bit more extensive and time-consuming than I anticipated. -The instructions were clear and helpful. -A note about the requirement for D cell batteries in order to operate the bouncer, or to utilize the swing without the wall plug obviously, would have been nice on the outside of the box. We did not have D cell batteries in stock immediately upon assembly, since we first realized they were required when perusing the setup guide. -The footprint for the swing base is fairly substantial. That hasn't been a problem for us, because we have a nice open floor plan so the swing gets a lot of use in common areas near the kitchen giving baby a great place to play while I tackle tasks, but it is worth considering if you are in a compact space and intentionally selected a two-in-one for space reasons! I received this fabulous swing/bouncer as part of the stellar product testing panel. Thank you so much for the opportunity to review it!

It fits in my small apartment so the size is perfect. It’s gender neutral which I love bc I used it for both my babies. assembling the product only took a few mins. My baby is very happy and safe and it gives me a peace of mind while I’m working.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My baby loves the Grace DuetConnect LX, which makes my day with an infant infinitely easier. I’m thrilled that the multiple speeds hit the right one to keep baby relaxed nearby while I care for other kids or do computer work, and the moveable bouncer feature gives her a comfy seat when we move to another room. Even though the swing includes all of the features I wish for (nice sounds and music with flexible volume control), the size still fits nicely in my small sitting room. Plus the simple, neutral design is soothing to baby and elegant with my room. The only negative with this swing is the initial assembly, but once assembled I love using it every day. I’m thankful to Stellar testing panel for providing me with this swing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given the Graco DuetConnect LX Swing to try out and review as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel! As a mother of a 3 month old, I was so excited to be chosen to add this swing to our day to day experience! The packaging successfully protected the product in transport. The cool toned beige color of the swing unit is the perfect shade to allow it to seamlessly integrate into any decor. I was really impressed by the premium feeling quilted fabrics on the seat! When I went to assemble the unit, this was the worst part of the product. As a very visual person, I found the illustrations and instructions (specifically for seat assembly) so confusing and unhelpful. I had to find a video online and that was much more helpful. It took me a very long time to get the seat together and then when the foot of the removable bouncer seat was uneven, the I re assembled it two more times just to be sure I had it right and it was still unlevel but with the weight of my baby in the bouncer it fixed the problem when in use. I will also say that the entire unit is a little bulkier in size than I had anticipated. I feel in order for the swing to be adequately usable you should plan to have a square 4ft x 4ft earmarked for this to allow for the swing to correctly have enough space. Once assembled, the swinging feature works smoothly even for my larger baby (90th percentile baby for height and weight) he still has plenty of room! When I placed the baby in the swing for the first time he was so fussy but as soon as I turned on the swing he calmed right down! I was shocked. And whenever he isn’t instantly soothed, there is an additional vibration mode on the seat that sealed the deal and seemed to soothe him the most! (Runs on a separate D battery so it will work even when you remove the seat and take it to another room as the bouncer mode) The control panel includes music as well as nature sounds (both with volume control) and my baby enjoyed both modes. The detachable seat has been a godsend to be able to quickly move room to room with the baby and have a place to safely secure them in a 5 point harness when getting household chores done. The swing unit is powered by plug in OR battery which gives people options for placement. All and all the footprint size needed for function and the assembly experience had me feeling very negative about the product, however, the ultimate reviewer: my baby, loved it. It has calmed him down many times I will happily endorse it! My major tip is do yourself a favor and find an assembly video online initially and I suspect you will have a better assembly experience!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this swing/bouncer combo as a part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. The assembly was very easy and the product is very durable but not bulky. It is a little heavy if you want to move the swing room to room but the bouncer part is very portable. The product functions very well as a swing and my daughter loves the music and animal noises; I love that the bouncer seat is adjustable as well. The bouncer itself is kind of hard to bounce but it comes with vibration settings which make up for that aspect. The vibrations and noises help soothe my daughter and she seems very comfortable when swinging. Overall I would recommend the product for the swing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I'm really pleased with this swing and my baby seems to enjoy it a lot. As someone with limited space in my home, I really appreciate dual-use and combo products. The swing provides a safe, soothing space for my baby to take a nap or watch the chaos of her two older siblings running around the room. When I need to move to another room, the bouncer portion easily detaches and I'm able to place her on the floor while I'm doing chores or working. The best part is that I don't have two separate items taking up floor space in my home. I had previously tried a swing that did more of an up and down motion on a base and my baby was not a big fan of that, but she seems to love the side-to-side swinging movement and will sit contentedly for quite a while. She enjoys the music, although I generally prefer to play my own songs. One of the only negatives in my opinion is the size of the swing frame as it does take up a good amount of floor space. I also found the assembly to be a bit difficult and complicated, though that is a one-time issue you don't have to deal with once it is assembled. I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and am happy to be able to recommend it to others.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel. It didn’t take 5 minutes for my four-month-old to let us know how much he loves swinging in the Graco Swing and Bouncer Combo. He’s a big guy, and I think this swing, unlike others we have owned, has the unique ability to entertain an older baby versus only soothing the teeny ones. It does this for our baby by swinging him further and faster than any of our other options, plus it is responsive to him moving around because of the bouncer capabilities. He has been happy every time I go to put him it so I can get a moment with my hands free! It’s been so nice to have somewhere safe to put him that engages him enough that he bats his arms around and coos. And, although he’s currently a big fan of some fast and wide swinging with music, I am certain this would’ve also been a big hit when he was a newborn and needed only a gentle sway with the soothing vibration. I highly recommend this duo if you can accommodate it in your home!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The first thing I noticed about this swing/bouncer combo was its size. It is quite large, bulky, and heavier than expected, which means it takes up a significant amount of space. Unfortunately, our overall experience using this swing/bouncer was not as positive as I had hoped. Once the swing motion started, the motor was fairly noisy, which made it difficult to hear the built-in soothing sounds. Even at the highest volume, the sound options were very faint—more of a whisper than a noticeable background sound. While the swing itself functions as intended, many of the extra features didn’t feel particularly effective in practice. My baby did not seem comforted in the swing and actually became more agitated during use. We tried adjusting all the settings and sound options, but nothing seemed to soothe her, and the only solution was ultimately taking her out. The portable bouncer feature, however, was the most useful part for us. I especially appreciated being able to place it nearby while I showered so I could keep my baby close and within view. The vibration setting on the bouncer was a nice added touch and seemed more beneficial. From a design perspective, the swing blends in well with existing furniture and isn’t an eyesore, though it does feel a bit plain overall. The toy mobile above the seat was also fairly minimal and didn’t hold my baby’s attention for long. With only two small rings and little color or visual stimulation, it didn’t offer much engagement. Overall, I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this product for parents who already have a swing or bouncer. Because of its size and bulk, it doesn’t offer enough unique features to justify the extra space it requires. Additionally, assembly was more difficult than expected. I was able to review this item as part of the Stellar Product Testing Panel, and I appreciate the opportunity to share my honest experience.
