Sometimes using this swing was the only way we could get our son to sleep. This one plugs in so you don’t go through a bunch of batteries. Also it has a small footprint so you won’t be wasting valuable floor space. Would be nice if it swung from side to side. Babies tend to prefer that motion. The
Fisher-Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing version has that motion, but is more expensive and takes up a ton of space.

I read the four reviews that Amazon had and decided to buy it. I have twins and they had colic so I needed something right away because I couldn’t take 4 hrs of crying anymore. I didn’t want to wait and by chance I saw it in Sears for the same price and bought it. My son hated it, as soon as I put him in the swing he started crying even more and wouldn’t stop. But my daughter liked it and was falling asleep in it. She sometimes slept in it for 3-4 hrs which gave her a little bit flat head. A few things that I didn’t like:
1. Speed, although it says it has six speeds mainly it’s only two and you won’t be able to tell the difference.
2. Doesn’t recline far. I just found out after 3 months of using it that it had 3 recline positions, wish I had known before so I could prevent the flat head for which I have to take my dd to a therapist.
3.The tray comes in you way when you are putting your baby in the swing so I never used it.
4. The color is so boring. It’s just blah.. they should have made it with bright colors since it’s for babies.
5. Toys are also dull and not bright colored.
6. The fabric is very cheap. After only a few weeks of use it looks worn out and had fur balls.
7. Gave my dd flat head. The head kept dropping.
8. You can’t put rolled up blanket or anything to support the head since it doesn’t recline far enough.
I only bought it since it was plug in swing and was going to save me money on batteries. Also, saved me from going insane with the twins. That’s why I gave it 3 stars. But we feel guilty now for leaving our dd in the swing for more than a few minutes. I now only use it from time to time not for my dd but for my ds. He doesn’t hate it that much and can sit in it for 10-20 mins.

It’s funny to read the other reviews and that the swing slows down. Our experience has been just the opposite – that the swing has 2 speeds: stop and warp 9! (Thank goodness for the safety harness!) We’ve found that the swing is pretty useless because once the swing gets up to full speed, the baby wakes up. After using the swing for several weeks, we wouldn’t purchase one – thankfully this was a gift. A note to prospective buyers: try the swing out prior…

I bought this for my son when he was about a month old. When he reached about 15 pounds, the swing kept stopping swinging…I returned twice and
both replacements had the same problem. I used it anyway, even though it would often stop swinging, and when my son was old enough to move his head and lean over, his head banged on the metal railing holding the swing. I called Fisher Price and I am shocked to see that they have not recalled this product, it is downright dangerous!

I bought this swing for my god son and it has been a lifesaver. He was a very fussy little one and this swing always seemed to calm him. The music and the fact that it can be plugged in was a plus.
