We've borrowed the Fisher-Price Rainforest Take-Along Swing from my sister in law. Our little man really likes it during the day, he naps in it or just sits and looks around listening to the music. He's 6 weeks old, and is going through a very fussy period, so it is nice to have somewhere to let him relax for a little while to give me time to get some lunch for myself.

We have the Fisher Price Papasan swing (Jungle) and my LO loves it! We've had her useing it since birth. It's not loud or anything, and she likes to swing in both positions. She is 15 weeks now and loves the tray attachment with toys! I would recommend this swing to anyone!!

with my daughter who is now 14 i had a swing that i picked up from yard sale, it was a crank type and very loud. with my older son who is 12 it was a quieter crank and was NICE.. it had a bassinet attachment as well as a regular swing attachment...lol with my younger son i had a plain jane swing with open top and batteries... it was nice, and with this one (csection on june 1st) i have already gotten a older table top swing, and a wind up swing w/quiet crank... and i will also have a older full size battery powered swing. i got so many because i wanted to have a backup AND have one to take with me to friends and families homes so it isnt a big bulky swing being lugged around...lol i dont really think cost and brand really matter that much as long as the thing is rocking.. although i did see the entire set of 'fisher price rainforest' and would LOVE to be able to afford THAT.. lmao espeically the pack n play...lmao

Does anyone have a suggestion on a good swing? I have the fisher price butterfly garden papasan swing and my lo LOVES it but im on the second motor and its still not swinging good. Plus the light show makes a terrible clicking noise now that wakes her up. Im hoping fisher price will give me a refund....so it will probably have to be that brand swing. Any suggestions ladies? I really want one with a light show but am a little hesitant bc of the clicking noise that has happened with both motors on this one. Thanks!!

We bought the Graco Sweetpeace swing. It was more than others, but after using different swings for my previous two babies this one by far is the best!! One of the best features is it doesn't need batteries, can be plugged into the outlet!! Also if you have a Graco carseat you can remove the swing seat and place the car seat on the swing and use that!!! no more moving sleeping baby out of car seat into swing seat!!

So i got a swing from my MIL today. I am a little disappointed :( I got the Fisher Price my little lamb swing and it has 6 speeds...the slowest is WAY to fast and the whole thing is tilted plus its loud. But the upside is my LO LOVES it. She fell right to sleep in it so i know shes a swing baby. So ive decided to have my MIL return it and get the Fisher Price butterfly garden papasan swing...http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5430279&findingMethod=rr It looks really cute and has a light show and my LO loves lights. Has anyone used this swing before? I cant wait to get it and try it out!!

My LO is a month old now and my MIL just got us a swing for her...I havent used it yet but im wondering if anyone else has had this one and how it is. I had her get us the Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Infant Swing - My Little Lamb. I picked that one bc at the store it is so soft and cute. My LO LOVES her boppy bouncer and the swing has the same type of seat. Im hoping she will love this swing!

I don`t know what we would have done without our swing. It`s the Fisher Price Papasan Cradle Swing! It has soothing music, rocks side to side or back and forth, has a mobile with lil starlights that go round on the canopy..its just everything you`d want. She slept in it soo much over the past 3 months and still has lil naps in it. She`s almost 15 pounds already and 23 inches long..still comfy for her but wondering how long that will last. Worth the money definitely, plugs in..ordered from CSN

We paid a little extra and bought the Fisher Price Rainforest swing. It's not the near-floor kind,but it swivels so it goes side-to-side or front-to-back..He loves it and best of all IT PLUGS INTO THE WALL!! NO BATTERIES!!!!
