Hated my papasan and so did bubs! It was way too fast when he was little, and by the time that he was big enough to make the swing slower (even on the slowest speed it was pretty fast!) he almost didn't fit in it. I agree that by 3 months I had pretty much given up on it ($300 down the drain!). I am going to give it a go with new bubba, but if she hates it too, it is going straight away. I know some bubs seem to like it, though, so if you can get it cheap it does have lovely music etc and the miror thing seems to interest them. Sometimes I would just pop him in and not turn it on for a few minutes to go to the loo. With two others around you might want something a bit more portable too, cause it is pretty big and hard to move one handed..
