We borrowed the Papasan Cradle Swing from a friend when our twin daughters were born.  Right away, Baby B LOVED it.  She would cuddle down into it and sleep for hours.  When she got a little older, she loved looking at herself in the reflective mirror and watching the leaves spin around.  Eventually we had to break down and buy another when Baby A realized how great it was.  She mainly liked to just lay, not swing.
Pros:
  • Comfy-both babies loved to just lay in it
  • Quiet operation-definitely a "stealth" swing
  •  Perfect for newborns/smaller infants
  • Very stable when in operation
  • Easy to clean
Cons
  • It only runs on batteries-I would have loved to be able to plug it in since we ran them A LOT!
  • Not a compact swing-they took up a good chunk of our living room.
  • Only a lap belt-when the babies were older and wanted to sit a little more upright, you can adjust the basket to accomodate.  However, with it only being a lapbelt and with most infants being top heavy, I was very worried that they would flip out of the seat.  We stopped using them at that point.
