2 in 1!
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!

Solid option if you have the space
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!

Soothing Seat for Baby That Keeps My Day on Track
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!

Soothing Baby Swing
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!

Space Saving Design
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!

Great Combo Swing
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.
