Watch out for the Fischer Price Swing

I don't think my 5 month old baby is supposed to be able to almost fall out of the Fischer Price swing, but he is. He grabs the bar, pulls himself up and out he goes. Then he's stuck out of the swing hanging there. I'm attaching some videos so you can see what I'm talking about. This is crazy! Someone at Fischer Price outta do something about this.

Now for some reason, I sound like a chipmunk in this video. My voice is alot deeper than this, but whatever, just watch the videos to see what I mean...

  1. You aren't the only one! My daughter, now 18 months, had this problem around the same age...maybe just a tad bit sooner...I put her in long enough to use the little girl's room, and INSTANTLY hear blood-curdling screams...she had managed to move her head over the side of it, and her head was pinned in between the swing and stand bars! I can't tell you how scary it was, and how quickly it got put away, never to be used again!

  2. If you are reading this site and are freaked out about this too, can you stumble or digg it?

  3. Helium addict!

    In all seriousness... that is disconcerting... especially what the previous commenter said. Mr. Grumpy Pants could totally get stuck between the swing and the bar if he went sideways!

  4. I saw your video and I could see my son when he did it in another swing version 5 years back. He was actually able to get out of the buckles turn in his tummy, push the back of the swing back into the ground and crawl half way out of it. Never again I opted for the swings thar are closer to the ground. I guess the taller ones have better designs or the hight don't let our little monkeys venture out of it. Either way they scare the c....p out of me.
    And Leah you sound soooo fuuuuny in the video! Did you swallow some helium!! hee hee hee You sounded like me hahahaha

  5. I used my Vado to film it and I think that Vado and Vimeo have issues with each other. Because I've used Vimeo several times without any problems, but it doesn't seem to like my Vado recorder.

    I know...I sound like I've ingested some helium...silly.

  7. Once they can sit up or flex up into sitting position they are supposed to be out of the swings. I know - it doesn't leave a lot of time for swing use, believe me, I stretched out the use as long as possible! But that is the recommendation.

  8. He doesn't sit up yet, but he is very very strong. That still freaks me out. How many of us knew they weren't supposed to be in there when they could grab and pull? Crazy!
