Baby Swing - Graco Lovin' Hug Swing (Hamilton)

When it came to purchasing a swing for our baby we really wanted to find one that was both visually appealing to us, comfortable for the baby and most importantly had an AC adaptor with it!
Sounds easy enough, but in our area it was damn near impossible to find a swing with these qualities, especially the ability to plug it in rather than having to spend a fortune on four D batteries every week (as we anticipated we would be using it extensively).
We finally found the Graco Lovin' Hug - Hamilton swing at our local Babies R Us and it seemed to meet all our requirements. Funnily enough we found other models of the Lovin' Hug swing at other stores that did not have the power adaptor and ran solely on batteries.
I had read the mixed reviews on the swing that I found on the store website, and admittedly I was nervous to invest almost $200 on a swing that may breakdown after only a few weeks, after all we intend to have more kids and do not want to be buying new items every time.
The swing was very easy to assemble and looks great, though it is bulky, so is not ideal for those who want something they can move around the house, or take over to visit family and friends easily.
When we tested the swing (pre-baby) the motor gave off a ticking noise (still does) and I was close to taking it straight back, though I believe now this is the norm for most baby swings (we have a Fisher-Price swing at my in-laws, review on that will no doubt follow later, which does the same). Also the low settings (1 & 2) would start to swing then stop for few ticks before starting to swing again, found out this is because there was no weight in the seat, as ever since we have used it with our son it has worked great on all six settings.
Overall we are happy with the performance of the swing, and our son really enjoys it, especially the mobile, which sways with motion of swing. I believe we made the best choice for us based on our criteria and the limited availability of baby swings in our city.
