Stopped Working
Our twin boys love this swing BUT it stopped working after a few months. We have a similar swing made by Fischer Price that's over 8 years old that still works great. I guess you get what you pay for!

Quit working after almost 3 montjs
I bought this before my baby came home from the hospital. It worked great until about two and half months, and now it’s completely stopped working. It’s not like we used it a whole lot either, my Velcro baby loves to be held so we really only used the swing maybe a couple times a week

Quit working after 3mo
I received this as a baby shower gift and it was great until it just totally quit working one day after close to 3months of use. Tried different cords but none worked.

Doesn’t last long
My son and daughter n law bought this swing (Simple Sway 1927158) and used it “maybe” 2 months. They are getting ready for baby #2 and guess what? It doesn’t work!!! She was told by Graco that she can purchase a new motor for $50. Really? I don’t think so!!
This swing and customer service is just terrible!

Stopped working after 3 months.
I got this swing as a baby shower gift and used it maybe 10 times, then it stopped working. I tried all troubleshooting and added batteries to see if it was just the cord, but nothing worked.

Good swing
A lot of negative feedback about motors. Im writing this one because it’s been good, no issues. I’ve had it for over a month

Can't live without it
This swing is a lifesaver and probably one of the reasons why I am able to keep my sanity. We've been using it since our son's first week at home with no issues. I try not to use it too much but when I'm home alone and simply need a snack or bathroom break, or when my 11 lbs newborn wants to be rocked non-stop and my back is already killing me, this swing comes in handy. We never leave him unsupervised and always buckle up. He doesn't hunch over even when he is very sleepy.
A few downsides:
- As others mentioned, headrest is a little floppy, I had to improvise to make it sturdier
- The swing itself is quite bulky and might take a lot of space. Might not be convenient if you need something portable to carry from room to room
- Assembly was a little confusing
- The noise it makes on maximum vibration setting and speed 3 is comparable to AC or running dishwasher, if you are annoyed by that that might not be a product for you

Stopped working after 3 months
Was given this as a shower gift. Loved it at first, but after 3 months it stopped working. No power at all. Have tried all the troubleshooting suggestions out there and replaced the batteries and still does not work.
I would not recommend this product.

Broke after 2 months
We loved this swing at first. Then all of a sudden it would work some times but not others. Then right at 3 months of having it, it will not turn on at all.

Should have listened to the reviews
After one 10 minute use, I thought this swing was the ticket. The second time I attempted to utilize the swing, no power whatsoever. Not plugged in or with batteries. What a waste of space. I had high hopes for this swing as my daughter loved it, when it work the one time.

Outstanding swing
My Granddaughter loves the swing
The music helps soothe her when she's trying to take a nap in her pack and play.
the only negative thing I would say is the stars are stationary I would have liked them to move.

Cannot be used for an infant/newborn!
The angle of the swing is NOT SAFE for a baby who cannot hold their head up. Product says 5.5-30 pounds and my LO is 9 lbs but the angle of the swing makes her chin go to her chest and the lowest buckle setting is at her ears! She is in the 90th percentile for weight and 99th for height for her age. I chatted with graco and basically was told they safety test everything and it’s fine that her head is supported properly and that there wasn’t anything I could do but return to the original store it was purchased from. It was a gift and is well past the return window. Extremely annoyed with graco.

Graco simple sway
I bought this at the end of last year. My grandbaby wasn't using it until Jan so he was 3 months old. Come to find out after numerous different batteries and cords that the motor is blown. He really loves his swing so I had to buy another. Would be nice to get it fixed & use it someday for another grandbaby.

Broke after little use
Doesn’t work plugged in or with new batteries- seems a shame to have to throw it away after minimal use. It only lasted a year.
It is not a small piece of equipment like the description says.

Love the swing but….
Bought for my first baby, after 5 months, the vibration now makes an awful squeaking/scratching noise, it was my daughters favorite spot due to the vibration, now that we can’t use it she just gets upset.

Wanted to love it
The vibration never worked, it would sometimes get stuck still when swinging so it would click because it was stuck. Once we moved it manually it would resume swinging. Finally after 3 months, it officially stopped working with batteries and wall plug in. So frustrating.

Swing motor broke after limited use. Definitely don't waste your money buying this swing.

A must buy
Our daughter needs someone to hold her 24/7
The only time she allows us to have a break is when she is in this swing it works like magic unlike the Mamaroo that we had which our baby did not enjoy. I usually let out baby sleep in the swing for 2 hours at a time three times a day. I would have liked if Greco would give advise if this is safe to do.

Uncomfortable and unsafe position for baby
This was purchased as a gift for my baby shower. When our daughter was born we put her in it and she was hunched over and sliding to one side. It also swings way too hard for how little she was. We thought maybe she was just too little so we waited. She is now 2 months old and it works a little better but she still
falls to one side, her head slouches forward immediately and it is still too fast. It does not recline or adjust so she just sits straight up. Unfortunately I am not comfortable using it since there is too high of a risk for positional asphyxiation. The music is very quiet, sometimes I don’t even notice it is on. It seems to be good quality and quiet, just feels unsafe for small babies.

Stopped Working
My mom bought this for our baby and it was great for the first couple months. But after about 4 months, the motor just completely stopped working. So the music and vibration still work, but the swinging (the whole purpose) is completely out of commission. Pretty disappointing.

Swing stopped working
I received this as a baby shower gift. I loved it for the first month. But then it started making noises. The vibration kept getting louder. We eventually put tape over the place that holds the batteries, that helped some. But then the swing started making noise. Then one day the swing just stopped working. I put new batteries in, that didn’t help. I plugged the AC adapter in and that didn’t work either. The swing and music will randomly start working for a few days then stop again. It’s very frustrating. And looking at the reviews, seems like that’s been an issue. But overall, my baby loves the swing.

Didn’t last long
My mother bought this for me for my son(first baby) and he absolutely loved it, one day it was working great! Next day I went to put him in and the green light wouldn’t turn on. It was plugged in, the wires were attached to each other inside the poles and nothing. So I unplugged it put brand new batteries in up top and still wouldn’t turn on. My son was only 17 pounds at the time and it says up to 30 pounds. My mom got on amazon so I don’t know how I’d go about getting a new one because I shouldn’t have to re buy it. I did nothing to it.
