We bought this swing when our daughter was 6 weeks old. A vigorous kid already, she likes to be bounced and jostled around quite a bit, and we ordered the thing to help our aching arms and thighs. When we received the swing in the mail, we were so excited to set it up and see what her reaction would be.
Well, construction went just fine- the directions are clear and the whole thing comes together in about a half hour. However, when we put her in, it was pretty lame. The swing didn't go very high at all, and you'd think with six different speeds that it would fairly well satisfy the full range of need in babies. I decided to call Graco to see if anyone else had had this issue and if possibly our motor was defective. They were very polite and immediately sent us a new motor piece. Unfortunately, even with the new piece the swinging was about the same and our girl quickly grew bored with the low momentum.
So, back to the title, if you have a baby who is more 'easy listening' than '80's pop', this is the swing for you! If not, check out the side-to-side swings, as they seem to be a bit more vigorous in their motions. We replaced ours with a model of this sort and she's been a happy girl!
