 Love this swing! April 28, 2008

We purchased this swing when my son was about one month old. He loves it! He really likes the bright colors of the mobile animals and used to stare at them in amazement. As he has gotten older (he's now over 4 months), he gets bored a little more easily, so he doesn't like to stay in it for as long as he used to. I usually use the swing when I need to get things done around the house and can't take him along - like cook meals. I'm sad that he's quickly approaching the weight limit of 20 pounds (he's a big kid), so we won't be able to use it for a longer period of time.
We bought this particular swing because of the bright colors, its ability to be plugged in, and because it can swing both side to side and front to back. We also liked the music choices. Most of the songs are easy to listen to and won't drive you crazy. There is even one choice of just animal sounds (birds chirping, etc). It's nice for when you really don't want music playing in the background of your phone call.
Some people have reported problems with the swing stopping, saying they have a faulty motor. After a few days, we thought this was our problem as well. But then we realized that the seat wasn't aligned properly. Since you rotate the seat to change the swinging direction, you can change the center of gravity of the seat. Rotating the seat very slightly to the left or right and making sure the vertical swinging bar is centered in front of the plastic part (just under the picture of the elephant) will make it swing much better. As long as I check that the swinging bar is centered before turning it on, it works perfectly.
Awesome Swing!! November 26, 2006

We bought this swing from Babiesrus and my daughter loves it so much, she likes being in it all the time. The great thing about this swing is that it is a plug in so we dont waste too much money on batteries! We did not have any problems with this swing, it swings both ways, front to back and side to side. The speed adjusts according to what the baby is comfortable with. The mobile spins, keeping my daughter well entertained and the music is great too. It has jungle sounds, rain, and different lullabys. I would recommend this swing to everyone!
Very nice to have for a newborn December 14, 2006

We were 3 weeks into adjusting to the new member of our family. We had the Fisher Price Rainforest bouncy chair, but it seemed to lose its soothing qualities as our little girl started to become more active than just an eating, sleeping, pooping machine. The vibration on the bouncy chair still works, but she really enjoys rocking in our arms. We decided on purchasing the travel swing, but it was not available in the store so we "upgraded" to the Cradle Swing. Well, it is quite evident that she loves the swing since she falls asleep within minutes of being placed in the seat. We exclusively use the power adapter and have had no problem with the amplitude of the swing. In fact, with our 7 pound baby, we need to keep it at setting 2 or below to prevent it from swinging too much. Our guess is that as she gains weight we will have to increase the setting. She enjoys looking at the mobile, as much as a 4 week old can. We would strongly recommend this open top swing despite its $120 price tag. The swing has already paid for itself in the hours of soothing calmness that it has provided.
THIS SWING IS A MIRACLE WORKER! February 12, 2007

After three months I was so tired of holding my LARGE baby 24 hours a day. He would not sleep if I put him down. He would scream. I was beginning to think he had colic. The only thing that soothed him was his crib mobile. We had gotten the other Fisher Price power plus swing and he absolutely would not sit in it! So I decided to go ahead and put him in this one in the store and by manually moving it back and forth (snice the stores are too cheap to put batteries in it) he just sat back, relaxed, and started cooing at the mobile (which wasn't even moving) So we bought the swing. It was soooo EASY to put together compared to the aquarium swing that I had had for my 3 year old when he was a baby. It has soothing music, which we mostly use now. AND it also has an upbeat music selection for play time. The swing also has 2 different nature settings which we have not used yet so I'm guessing they are probably useless? But who cares if it has more features then you actually use? This swings motor is VERY quiet compared to the grinding motors of most of the other swings we have been through (quite a few as i have 4 sons) Since my baby is large I always use the highest swing setting and it moves just fine. I'm not sure why others have had a problem with the swing not swinging since my 3 motnh old is a big boy compared to other kids his age. For the people who gave it a bad review for this reason every fisher price swing i have ever tried will not move with an extremely active or crying baby so this is not a defect, its simply so when your baby falls asleep the swing doesnt give your baby whiplash. I do not think fisher price will ever correct this problem and i dont blame them (lawsuit city!) In my opinion, Baby's do not need to be swung back n forth like a kid at a playground who is trying to go faster and faster. The mobile is at a great angel by the child's feet for better viewing. It is stated on most crib mobiles to place your baby so his feet are under it not his head.
The only thing I would have done differently is added another adjustment so baby can sit up better for playtime. and maybe add some toys on the tray. The matching high chair is a lot better for playtime.
Fantastic! June 6, 2007

My baby loves this swing! We had her try out every swing on display at BabiesRus, and this is the swing she clearly preferred. She seems to love everything about it: the mobile, the music and soothing nature sounds, the seat, and the side-to-side cradle swinging action. It sure came in handy for those colicky nights in the beginning. I've read other reviews that said that theirs barely swung, but they just must have gotten one from a bad batch or something. Ours has plenty of swing! When she was really little, I draped a blanket over the sides to slow it down. The only thing I'm not wild about is the seats incline positions - now that she is older, it would be nice if the seat sat up a bit more. Other than that little issue, I'm glad we bought it and would recommend this swing to anyone.
