Fisher Price toys...

I have the aquarium bouncer and swing. They're only 4 months old and something is wrong with both of them. The swing's has four lights on the top and two of them don't work. They just went out one day.

The bouncer is SOO annoying. When I turn it on, the motor that makes the bubbles is so loud! When I went to BRU, I tried the display and it was so quiet. I don't know if it's worth making a stink about it, because soon enough Jared will be out of them both.

Anyone else have these problems with either toy?

Re: Fisher Price toys...

i HAVE BOTH ALSO! The top (globe) part went on my swing it would not work at all, I took the swing back to BRU and they told me there is a manufacturing problem with them in the motor...so the guy went in the back got a new motor and replaced it right there at the store! I didnt even have a recipt! I have to say i am usually a big fan of fisher price but these 2 things were a bit of a disappointmentChat Icon

Stef, Laurie had the same problem with the motor on the swing. I have to check Nate's swing, since so many people are having problems.

Didn't you say in another thread that Jared doesn't care for his swing too much? If BRU will take it back just get a credit and get him other stuff.

Can't help with the bouncer I took it back to BRU bc Nate hated it.

Re: Fisher Price toys...

Do you think I can bring it back 4 months later without a box and they'll take it???

Re: Fisher Price toys...

I have the bouncer - Talia LOVES it and will only fall asleep in that chair - I have only used it for 2 weeks and I just said to my husband yesterday that it has gotten really loud (the vibrating part) I have no clue why - it wasn't like that when we first got it.

Absolutely....I returned and exchanged his mobile after about 6 months since it wasn't spinning correctly. No issues, no receipt, no problem!

Stef,

FP sent me a new motor when I called their customer service via Mattel Toys. When I recieved it and was putting it together one of the pieces broke off and I called back. They sent UPS to my house and had me send it postage paid and is sending me a check to buy a replacement swing. Jack didn't even like it that much anymore probably because of the motor problem so instead I'm putting it in his account. My boucer had some problems too since he fell out the side because he got to long and strong for it. I'm real dissapointed with the Ocean Aquarium Equipment.

I would call Mattel and see if they will let you send the swing back and ask if they can supply you a replacement check so you can buy a new one ASAP rather then wait for them to send you a replacement.

Good Luck!

Same problems! I have the bouncer, swing and portable swing. We had to take the swing back because the fish didn't work. The red lights on both the bouncer and the portable swing stopped working almost immediately. I think that I am going to call them. I thought it was just a problem I was having with them, glad to know I am not alone.

Oh and I have the aquarium mirror thing for the car that the kids can kick and the fish move, and all the fish are stuck together. I had to return the first one for the same reason Chat Icon
