my baby is 15 pounds and 7 months old and i still use it, until she falls out or i have another problem i will continue to use it and i think that each person knows what is best, if you feel unsafe using the swing, stop using it but if it is still working for you, go for it. i don't follow the rules and regulations to the date or weight, cause every kid is different. i read on here earlier that a bassinet shouldn't be used past 12 weeks or if your child can roll or move, it's so not true for me my kid is still using her bassinet and she is as i said 7 mths old. you decide!!!!!!
