Mama's & Papas Starlite swing

[AP]

I know a lot of mums have this here, and was wondering, do any of you have problems with the swing stopping swinging? I cant get it to keep going? Could it be the batteries?

 

[pinkbow]

I had this problem too hun, i had to take it back as it eventually just wouldnt swing!!...couldnt get another as argos arent selling them anymore...spesh as it got it for £35 ...

 

[indy and lara]

We had this problem. Took it back to M&P and they replaced it no probs. New one works fine!

 

[AP]

I know Rachydaz, thats what I was worried about........

It was working ok too, now it seems to just die!

Think I will try batteries as they have been sitting for a while, but I'll b gutted if cant fix it, I got mine for £35 outta Argos too!

 

[pinkbow]

yip i was gutted!...i even phoned mamas and papas about it to see if it could even get fixed but nope they wouldnt as i hadnt got it from there lol

hope its just the batteries hun

If its a faulty M&P product, they are the manufacturer and the name on the warrantee, so its them you should speak to, definitely. Doesn't matter if you got it on sale somewhere.

All my M&P stuff has its booklet

Mine's more lethargic than it used to be and stops swinging if I don't give it a push to start it but I think that's Ozzie's cubbiness/battery related

grrr!! really?...how unfair they told me basically there was nothing they could do oh well ill know in future boohoo!

 

[jacs]

OMG! Yes, we have this problem. Can't find receipt either. Might print this thread and demand refund anyway - they should recall it if it's this shoddy!

Oh my god, i thought it was just mine, or that hollie was getting too big for it, but i change batteries every week, it'll work then stop and if i dare to push it, it completely turns off and the music wont turn off, unless i pull the batteries out, think i'll call them monday, thought it was just me xxx

I've always found M&P to be very helpful whenever I've contacted them.

( They sent me some bolts and a bracket out for a 2 year old cot FOC )

But legally speaking they dont have to do anything. You're sale of contract is with the retailer you bought it from not the manufacturer. You should deal with Argos / whoever you bought it off

Tinkabells - to stop the music you have to press and hold the musical note button.

It started working again today ok, then buggered up again. I think there must me a knack, but i havent figured it....

I think there's a knack thing too. I never realised that I'd have to give it a push start to get it to swing otherwise it switches itself off

I wouldnt pay pissing £99 for it, thats for sure!

Totally agree, I'm glad it was a bargain. I used to have a cheap Fisher Price one and I never had any issues with it!

 

[Snowball]

Oh and does anyone else find that you have to be super careful lifting babies in and out of it to avoid bashing their heads on the top of it?

 

[AP]

Yup, Alex had a total nervous breakdown as I hadnt had it out for a while, and knocked her head on the stars(luckily it wasnt hard!)

 

[JLJ2310]

Oh dear !! I wish I'd read this thread earlier, just bought one from ebay and picked it up but when I got it home it worked on speeds 1 to 3 in the upright position but if I try speeds 4 and 5 or put it in recline (with no weight in it yet!) it tries really hard but barely moves. Girl I bought it from said there were new batteries in it but now I've contacted her she says I should try some more batteries. I think I've been had !!

 

[Oushka]

Ours is temperamental too. I thought it was just mine...

Same issues as others, wont swing and then switches off after 20 secs. Pushing it makes no difference.

Will be contacting M&P/Argos, I cant believe I thought it was normal!
