Glad we bought this

Great product. We have a two-month old who usually wants to be held, sometimes for hours. Now we put her in the swing and she's happy there most of the time. She can sleep and play in it. It's a sturdy product with many great features.
The only drawback is that it seems to go through batteries pretty quickly. We've had the swing for less than a month and the batteries are dying. It would have been nice to be able to plug it in to a power outlet.

Great for some hands free time!
»
I finally broke down and bought this for my son a few weeks ago when he was a little over a month old. When he is in a good mood he loves to stare at the mirror and the rotating mobile. It can keep him happy for about 20 minutes and he will sometimes fall asleep in it. After weeks of constantly holding him it can be very helpful for some hands free time to do things like make dinner etc. However, it's not a miracle swing because if he is grumpy he is unlikely to stop crying just because he is in the swing ;) Still, I would recommend it. I haven't had to replace the D batteries yet and we've used it quite a bit. There is a noise associated with the rocking/motor but it isn't that loud and is overpowered by the music/noises if you turn it up. I like all the options for music/noise. I think he likes the music choice best but the crickets etc. are a nice alternative.

My baby stays calm
»
My baby loves this swing. We've been using it since he was born. This frees me up during the day to get chores done and I love this product. The only con is that the motor is not silent, like some previous reviewers noted. It makes a creaking/clunking sound- almost like a moving train. But, then again, that seems to calm the baby and help him sleep. I highly recommend this swing.

Baby loves it too much

This swing has been a godsend for our colicky one. It was the only way she'd sleep outside our arms for the first few months. The only problem now is she's 4.5 months and won't sleep anywhere else! Also, I wish this swing had an a/c adaptor. Luckily we use rechargeable batteries, but when they run out in the middle of the night it can be a real pain. I only wish Fisher price would make a larger one b/c I'm not sure how she'll sleep once she outgrows this.

beautiful but...

I love this papasan swing. I looked everywhere for it since babiesrus doesn't have it, only the girly pink one. I noticed amazon had the best price by far as well. The swing is exactly how I expected and I love how it plugs in or uses batteries. It matches the baby room perfectly too. Cutest swing I've seen out there. The only giltch is it was hard to put together from the directions. The directions were pretty self explanitory, except when it was time to put the legs to the actual cradle. Even my husband struggles with it over an hour. It doesn't say in the instructions that they have to snap in place...and we couldnt tell if they were backwards or not. Other than that, everything else is perfect.
