Must be 15lbs or less to ride...

The due date draws nigh! Yet there are a few select things that need to be sorted out to better welcome our baby girl's arrival. Thanks again to your generosity, we have a baby swing where we can (gently) plop and placate baby when she feels like swinging about. Lets put this together and, like the Bob stroller, see if there are 'boy points' for Dads to latch onto.

Step 1: Unpack box. Tracy was shocked by the number of parts in the tiny box. Mainly the metal (+1 boy point) framing, a bunch of a plastic and plush parts, and a ridiculous, legal-ese filled, multi language/page setup manual (-2 boy points).



Step 2: Assemble legs, attach legs to joint, assemble plastic seat, attach seat to joint.
Poorly drilled holes = -1 boy point
Plastic bag to play with = disapproving wife




Step 3: Ensure everything is sturdy, that there are no remaining parts, get wife's approval for level of 'cuteness'.



Step 4: Find eager rider. (Thanks again to Doggy)

....then realize the swing is powered with a motor (+3 boy points) via 4 not-included batteries (-1) that are D-sized(-3)!

Fisher price has provided mom and dad a control panel with nifty buttons and knobs allowing you to adjust swing speed, noise volumes, and the phases of the moon. (+1)



And by far the most innovative feature....a button that allows you to rotate the swing 90 degrees to give you a second swinging motion. (+1) Pretty neat, huh?




At the end of our review, the swing is at -1 boy points. But the realization that this will bring enjoyment to our little baby girl represents more boy/daddy points than can be counted. We can't wait to see her in it!
