We bought this for our first child without hesitation because of the price. We knew we were not going to have any more children but wanted something that would help us soothe our fussy newborn. I am glad we bought it. He has the Rainforest mobile and loves to watch it. He loved the swing just as much and it has helped us out alot! The music and mobile really seem to entertain him a lot. This swing worked great especially when he was a newborn where he seems to be fussy during night times. Once he is in the swing, he really enjoyed the sliding motion of the swing and it really was soothing for him....
