Having trouble with Graco baby swings - anyone else?
OK so it may be because we are cheapskates and buy 2nd hand but for the second time the Graco Advantage battery operated swing has stopped working on us. i had one for ds1 and it was brilliant - 2 years later tried it for ds2 and it only lasted for two weeks before the swing stopped swinging - music still worked so something has shorted in the circuit board. Just borrowed one from a lovely friend and after two weeks we have managed to do the same thing again. i will have to buy a new one to replace hers anyway but wonder if this is a common problem - Graco want £35 for a new motor but there is nothing apparently wrong with the motor anayway so I'm told by engineer friend!
Having come to rely on the swing during times of stress (!) i.e. to deal with ds1 or the pack of builders currently crawling all over my house doing an extension I am a little tense at the prospect of coping without.
Feel better already having ranted about it!
