I have a 6 month old son. I refer to a recent guide as to not worry first time parents who have already purchase a Link a doos take along swing, I have the exact same swing peviously mentioned by a worried parent as to how un safe this swing is. Well in actual fact I am not a careless first time mum and I find the swing usefull and my son just loves being in it. He has the ability to sit up with minimal support and I still find it quite safe for him. Although I would never leave him unattended in any play activities Please feel free to email me
