Battery Life? I was looking at getting the fisher price cradle swing, and I was wondering how long the batteries last?

The one I purchased was blu with 2 batteries. At this point I have not heard of a problem with my purchase. I did see the review about the batteries and checked the Fisher Price website for more info on product or possible recall but didn't get any more definite info from there either. I would suggest that you may want to contact customer service at Fisher Price. If I remember correctly the problem was over a year ago and I assume they took care if the issue

While my son loves this ship, I must admit the battery life is short .. I'd say 1/2 hour of use. It is best to charge it over night. It takes awhile to fully charge.

For the swinging motion, no batteries, it is only plug in. For the vibrate feature, you need batteries. You can still use the swing, without using the vibrate feature.

Our Grandson, who is just 18 months old, has had these players for at least three months, we have three that we rotate for charging and different music, and has not yet broken one despite being tossed to the floor many times :) Depending on how you put it in the house you may even be able to use the built in flashlight as "studio lights"?

I use regular batteries. I haven't had to change my batteries since I got it. The baby also makes the bouncer bounce by moving so I don't turn it on every time.

I bought mine for my kid brand new, once he jumped in the pool with his other one. Haven't had no problem with battery life. But you can take out the battery and buy another if needed. His battery lasts at least 3 days or more if not constantly on it. And I don't think they are making anymore probably just getting rid of what's left of them.

this seat runs on batteries only..which was a little disappointing..it is very heavy and bulking to move around..the thing i did like about it was it was very nice for a small baby to about 3 or 4 months old..after that it was too small...i would not purchase it again..i would definitely look for a very light weight electric portable swing..

I say it depends on how many toys your kid has other than this, as well as their attention span [thus how often they attend to/play with the toy]. Then again, play with it or not, I have had mine for what like 2 21/2 years? now. I think I have MAYBE replaced the batteries twice. That is a big maybe. I honestly think it was one time. AND I NEVER TURN IT OFF. IT IS ALWAYS ON.

Depends on the usage, but for my 2y8m baby it lasts for a month ( average playing time of 5 hrs a week)

I don't have the box the swing came in any more, so I am unable to check the "official" age range recommended by Fisher-Price. However, I think the answer to this question depends on each, individual child. My daughter is 11 months old now, and still gets into it from time to time. Another baby could easily be too tall, too heavy, or sooner lose interest in the swing.

battery may be burnt out- this happened to me when a kids came over for a playdate. I had it fully charged for kids to enjoy and saw one child pushing it with his feet like a non motorized toy and then it never worked again except for the music. You may need to get new battery unfortunately. My son was never able to enjoy it as batteries were almost 50- 75 dollars at time and we just didn't want to add more $ to this toy ,but now you can get them for around 36 dollars.

I can only speak from our experience; my son is 2 months old and we have used it every night since his birth (and sometimes during the day), and have not yet had to change the batteries. :)

How long do they last? I'd say it depends on child/children using it. My sister-in-law still had hers from years ago. She has 9 grand children. However the one I gave to my 2 grandchildren for Christmas lasted 3 months. My 2 grandchildren are super active and hard on their toys.

6-8 hours. It lasts a few days, but I don't suggest this for heavier toddlers. My 2 year old is 45 pounds, and this thing barely moves. Certainly not what I expected. I wish I would have gotten something similar but with a bigger battery.

Depends on the frequency of use. Have had mine for a year or two and still on the original battery. It's used a couple of times a day and every now and then about 20 times a day when the kids play with it.
