With our first child, we had Fisher Price's Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing and loved it.  Since I sold that off shortly after she stopped using it, we needed to buy a new one for our second child, born 3 years later.  By this time, Fisher ...

Pros: Plugs in, seat turns, washable, flip up mobile, music, steady base, reclines
Cons:

wide base, tray doesn't stay down well

We purchased the Fisher Price Rainforest Cradle Swing to use with our newborn baby girl. We looked at the swings available and decided upon this one due to its bright colors, adjustable seat, and the fact that you can plug it into the wall. ...

Pros: Multiple options given depending on the mood of your baby.
Cons: It goes through batteries pretty fast due to the daily use of the swing.

When I was pregnant with my third baby I knew I wanted a swing that swung side to side and front to back. I did not research swings but luckily I found one that fit our needs. Being that I live in a small town, I went down to Wal-Mart and bought the ...

Pros: battery AND plug, folds up compactly for storing, mobile characters actually face the baby
Cons: I haven't found any cons with this swing so far...I think it's fantastic!

I have both the full size Fisher Price Nature's touch cradle swing and now the Rainforest swing.  I must say that I am very pleased with many of the improvements they have made with this newer swing.  One of the most important things ...

Pros: Seat turns. Plugs in and uses batteries. Turning Mobile.
Cons: Slow Starts. Only 4 sound options.

When I first saw this swing I was really impressed with its physical appearance. It stood out from the other swings. After getting elbow deep into the informative description, I was completely satisfied with purchasing the swing. I love the fact it can ...

Pros: Soothing sounds and mobile.  Rocks both ways.
Cons: My son outgrew it before he wanted to.

 This was a baby shower gift that I had registered for.  My son used this swing every day.  It was one of his favorite places.  I love the bright colors and nature sounds of the Rain Forest Collection.  The swing seat swivels ...

Pros: Can be plugged in or use batteries, side to side or front to back option
Cons: Takes time to get up to speed

I have been using the Fischer Price Rainforest Cradle Swing for the last two months. We have used other swings with our older children and this is best by far. The features that I like best are; the swing can be plugged in or use batteries for power. ...

Pros: PLUGS IN!!! Need I say more??? Swings both ways.
Cons: The dial is really hard to grip, which makes it hard to turn on.

We really liked this swing when our baby was about 0 to 3 months old. Now that he's about 5 months old, he's kinda heavy for it. My biggest complaint is the ergonomic design on the speed dial. It is already hard to grip, and if your hands are wet you can forget it. So you find yourself pushing the dial so you can grip it easier, which causes the dial to stick! UGH! So now I am having a hard time turning it on or off! So that really bugs. But otherwise, it is great. Love the mobile. The music. The fact that it swings front to back or side to side is wonderful. And of course I can just plug it in and not have to worry about batteries. Woo hoo!
