 "SO much better than many other swings" | 2008-10-06 |

| I'm on my second child to use this swing and I love it! We recently went out of town for three weeks and borrowed a swing there, and it made me realize how wonderful mine is. br /br /(1) It does not stop after a while to save batteries. (My son wakes up when swings turn off.) If I want to save batteries, I'll turn it off myself. br /br /(2) You can put your child in it swaddled. Some swings don't allow that. Big plus.br /br /(3) The mobile! Both of my boys have been fascinated by it. And this is a particularly bright mobile. (Some of the papasan swings have very muted mobiles that my sons have ignored.) br /br /As for the bad reviews, many of them were about safety with older babies in it, like one year olds. Aren't you supposed to stop using a swing well before that anyway???br /br / |

This has been amazing. The seat is larger than another swing that we own so we tend to put our larger twin girl in this and the smaller twin boy in his sister's pink one! LOL
Overall I would recommend this to everyone.
The seat cover and straps are easy to take on and off for washing and we're only on our second set of batteries in 4 months.
I wished we had 2 of these but like I said it takes up a lot of space. More than the other 'smaller' Fisher Price one we own.
Hope that helps.

 "Good swing, music broke after two weeks" | 2008-08-25 |

| This is a good swing, I like the two different swinging modes, front to back and side to side. The only problem I had was that the music quit working after 2 weeks. I did not want to disassemble the whole thing and lug it back to the store and I did not want to ship it back to FP and wait for 3-6 weeks for a replacement. We didn't need the music anyway, so we just used the other features, my son is now 8 months old and is still under the weight limit and he enjoys the swing once in awhile, though now that he is mobile, he wants to be on the floor, crawling around. My son was quite fussy and the swing often helped to soothe him, a few nights he actually slept in it for 5 hours straight, if he took him out he woke up and cried and cried! |

| "Great swing, design and function are well thought out." | 2008-08-25 |

To put it simply, from the time our baby was 1 month old until 8 months old, he loved this swing. It swings both ways. Sideways and front to back.
It has great options. Swing with no music. no swing with music. Nothing but a rotating mobile. Everything at once (swinging, music, rotating mobile). And one of the greatest features that should be required on all baby/toddler/infant toys and products: a variable volume knob. In other words, you dont have a 3 or 2 way switch between off, soft, and loud or off, soft, medium and loud. Its a variable switch allowing you to set the exact amount of music coming out of this device. In addition to the music, you can select wave sounds and other natural environment sounds.
The next great praise I can put to this device is its 2 position seat: upright or a sleep/back position. Not a very good description, what can I say, I'm on 4 hours of sleep.
Our first child hated being in a swing. Swings in general may not appeal to all babies. Don't trash this swing for its function just because your baby hated it. I am sure our first would have wailed in it, but our second loves it to death, and while most books will tell you babies shouldn't get used to sleeping in swings, there were times where he would sleep in this swing for several hours: a great transition device. A great soother too.
the legs also fold in for ease of movement. I really think they put a lot of effort into the design of this device.
Highly recommended. |

| We bought this swing 5 years ago when our daughter was an infant. She loved it and now we use it with our 3 month old son. It held up great in storage all those years. My only drawback is that it doesn't plug in like many of them do these days, but the batteries are cheaper than buying a new swing. Both kids absolutely adored watching the mobile overhead. We've been very pleased with this swing over the years. |

| This is the best looking swing for a boy. I highly recommend getting one that swings side-to-side and back-and-forth because you don't know which your baby is going to like. This swing has it all, moving objects, music, lights, and multiple speeds. All of this means I have a happy baby!!! |

| I got this swing for my son when he was a newborn, and it did a fantastic job of lulling him to sleep. As he grew, he enjoyed watching the mobile and looking around while swinging. Baby number two was born in March, and she too has enjoyed the swing since then. If you put one of those padded inserts they sell for newborns to use in carseats (it helps stabilize their heads better, etc- I think Kiddopotamus puts it out)into the seat of this swing, it will keep your newborn perfectly safe and snug. Once my son and daughter got big enough, I just took the padded insert out. The noise others have mentioned in their reviews does almost sound womb-like- very whooshing and hypnotic- I agree with those who remarked it works better than the music at putting the little ones to sleep! The swing does take up a lot of space, but currently, it's really the only large piece of equipment we're using for our daughter (she's too tiny for playpen or anything of the sort at 4 months), so I feel it's more than a fair trade off due to how much she enjoys it. I really highly recommend this swing! |

| Finally, my husband bought me a swing for our last baby and let me tell you it was worth every penny!!! Swinging does mimick the motion that your baby happily experienced in your belly and she was soothed. By the time they are too big to be in the swing they don't really want to be in it anymore because they are busy exploring. My daughter loved the lights and the fish, the music was an added bonus. The swing cleaned up very well so I was able to pass it on to the next person although it was difficult! |
