  • Have a look on https://www.netmums.co.uk - they have a nearly new or wanted section

    good luck
  • They are expensive but I got my moneys worth out of it and found it a godsend.
    Definately try Netmums. What area are you in as you can search by region.
    They tend to go for silly money on Ebay, but it might be worth a look on there.

    Bargainbabe that is such a great find..thanks. I already have one and would recommend them!!! Mines is fisher price and it wasn't far off £100 and honestly doesn't look much different to the one you found. I know a couple of pregnant friends i'll mention this to. Remember to have a supply of batteries!!

    the aquarius swing is brilliant - and sooo cute. i still cant bear to part with mine even though i havent used it for over a year as my dd is 2.5 but i cant bear to part with it!!

    Hiya

    I had the aquarium £100 swing and can honestly sat it was worth its weight in gold. It was far far better than the cheaper trevel swings. I got mine for £50 off ebay and could have cried when my little girl outgrew it. Got to say the dearer swing is worth every penny and afterwards I sold it on ebay for £10 more than I paid!!!

    Hi

    Have you got a nursery agency anywhere near you ?
    We have one near us a great for things like that and also for selling things your little one has outgrown.
    Can also see before you buy.

    Hope everything goes well !

    I'm another one who wouldn't be without the expensive fisherprice swing! (we got it second hand on ebay though).

    It has been an absolute sanity saver on some occasions.
