Fisher-Price Take-Along Swing & Seat

The Fisher-Price® Take-Along Swing and Seat has fast become one of both mine and Taylor’s favourite products. Before T was born I purchased a bouncer to sit him in if I needed to put him down during the day, I hadn’t considered the option of a swing and the added bonus of this one in particular is that it can also be used as a static seat.

Once out of the box I was faced with a small bundle of pieces to put together, the build also requires the use of a screwdriver, however it’s super easy to build.

The man walked in from work to find me mid-build to which I told him I was playing the role of Daddy. Like I said it was super easy!

Once built and 4 C size batteries had been inserted the swing was ready to go, with 6 speed options, 10 different tunes and sounds, hanging animal toys and a vibration option it’s near impossible for baby T lose interest.

The bottom of the seat has this handy clip in strap which turns it into the static baby seat, I use this option once he has fallen asleep and no longer needs to swing.

The controls can be found on the right hand side of the swing and allow you to change the speed of the swing, the volume of the 10 sounds, which sound plays (fun play time sounds or soothing sleepy sounds!) and also a vibrate button which can be used when in seat mode.


Once I initially put T in the swing and switched it on I noticed it didn’t move much even on the highest setting, it helps to manually give one or two pushes to build up momentum then the swing really kicks in and away it goes. The swing also has a 5 point harness to ensure your little one is safe.

I’ve found the swing to be perfect for both sleep and play and has been loved from the moment T tried it. The Take-Along aspect of the swing is great, although the buttons to fold it down were initially rather stiff to use. When not in use the swing folds flat and can be stored away easily so it doesn’t take up space, this also makes it perfect for taking places like when we go and visit the grandparents for the afternoon!

Overall we are loving this product, having the swing has allowed me to be able to put T down while I clean the house and more often than not he will also fall asleep and stay there for a while after, this means a hot cup of tea with a book for mum! What more could I ask for?

  • Aww! How adorable! This sounds fantastic! I love the design! So bright and colourful x

  • Aw look at him! What a little cutie. Love that it folds up – I know ours were always bit cumbersome and they certainly didn’t swing themselves!
