mandyjm1979 says "Awesome swing don't buy another kind!" about Fisher Price Rain Forest Baby Swing

mandyjm1979 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 09:12:10 GMT

I love this swing so much. I love the look of this swing, its fun and exciting to the eye so it stimulates my baby. The toys in the mobile are easy to detach to my baby could play with them and I could wash them. The cover is easy to take off and put on. The speed are good not crazy where one click puts it in turbo. The swing isn't loud and clunky like other swings. But the thing I love most is the fact that the baby seat swivels and I can face the baby in any direction. This feature was amazing because my son wanted to face us all the time so If I sat in different placed i could change the seat direction and not have to move the whole swing. And the music was so great for play time because it was bright and fun and they had this beautiful rain sound with soft chimes that would put my baby and my HUSBAND to sleep. Sometime my husbands turns the swing on for a nap even if the baby is not in it!

mykidsmom32 says "The Nature's Touch swing is my baby's favorite place to be! " about Fisher Price nature's touch papasan swing

mykidsmom32 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:16:10 GMT

We bought the Fisher Price Nature's Touch Papasan swing for our 3rd baby because out first two loved their swings so much, but I really liked the idea of the cradle swing. My son absolutely loves this swing. He is a naturally happy baby anyway, but this swing is his favorite place to be. He takes naps in it extremely well, sometimes I have to wake him up to feed him because he has been sleeping too long. He loves "talking" to himself in the mirror that is on the mobile and likes the cute animals on the mobile. He doesn't seem to care for the music yet, but maybe we will try again in the future. It seems to overstimulate him and then he can't sleep. The only "negative" thing was that when he was first born, it would swing too fast even on the lowest setting. So, we just put him in it and gave it a little push and it would swing on it's own for about 10 minutes. We use it all the time and it does pretty well on batteries. It would be nice if it would plug in as an option. But this swing...

talentone says "money saviable" about Fisher Price 3 in 1 rockn chair

talentone — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:38:32 GMT

if your lookin for a swing that not only does what its suppose to but a swing that will save money and last for years or even when your little one is a toddler the 3 in1 swing is it i got mines at wal mart.. the pros about this product is that it has an two sided strap so that your little one does not fall and it has an toy arch over it so your little one can not only see the toys but play with them as well.. you can also add your own toys and the arch is removeable. its made of steal or shoild i say metal its non harmless. it has two speeds and four different types of music. its a swing then converse into a infant swing aand converse to a rocking chair for your little bundle of joy its great for when they start to walkin and reading they can rock them self and relax.

the cons is i only seen it in one color and that is in green orange brown but when i seen what it does the color did not matter to me.

prettycoolcowgirl says "Rain Forest Open-Top Cradle Swing puts baby right to sleep" about safety 1st Rain Forest Open-Top Cradle Swing

prettycoolcowgirl — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 06:13:55 GMT

from the first time my son was put in this swing he really seemed to take to it. he usually falls to sleep right away when he is put in it. the design is great, I love the moble. the colors are bright and friendly, the way it folds up to fit in a small space is great ( mine is in the closet when we arent using it!)

the battery life is ok, it lasts about two weeks on new batteries, given that is with frequent use.

the songs are decent, they have ocean sounds mixed in with them.

the legs on the swing tend to lift up a little when it swings, I called the company and they said that was normal.....I dont like that about it, it feels a little un-safe.

the swing is really good, its designed well, it doesnt make alot of noise.

jabttb says "the evenflo rainforest travel swing is not worth it" about Evenflo rainforest swing

jabttb — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 19:09:13 GMT

i loved this swing until mly daughter was about three months old. she weighted about fifteen pounds and the swing didn't want to swing anymore. this to me was very dissapointing as my daughter loves to swing and we travel a lot and that was the entire purpose on the purchase of this. I did love the swing until she reached this weight. the colors were bright and fun. the ease of the swing was perfect and it was so convenient. Would buy another if guaranteed that it would work after she reached the 15 pounds.

alikashmira says "smart stages 3 in 1 rocker swing" about Fisher Price Swing N Glide

alikashmira — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:56:48 GMT

The Smart Stages 3-in-1 Rocker Swing from Fisher-Price takes Baby right into the toddler years. This swing has 2 speeds and 5 songs to soothe and entertain, as well as a toy bar with 2 removable toys. The seat easily removes, converting to an infant seat, so you can take your little one around the home. Then as Baby grows, the swing frame folds and stores away so you can use it as a toddler rocker for children up to 40 lbs. It also has easy-release seat handles, a kickstand that locks out for feeding in infant seat stage, a machine washable pad, a convenient open top on swing for easy access, and 3-point restraint for Baby's safety. We got this swing as a gift because I thought I would love it because it converted to a toddler rocker. However my daughter hates it. She has sat in it about 4 times and screams everytime. The only thing we can figure out is it doesn't recline as much as the other swings on the market and the material is not as soft. I think that if it was a little more cozy......

marinsalem says "Calming and Great when your arms are tired!" about Fisher Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing

marinsalem — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 00:24:21 GMT

We had the Fisher Price Baby Papsan Nature swing. It was great for both of my kids. It was a wonderful way to get the babies to fall asleep if my arms were exhausted from carrying them around.

The songs were great and soothing. The mirror that was the underside of the mobile fascinated the babies and they enjoyed watching themselves. The toy bar that wrapped across the front of the swing wasn't used the first couple of months, but became a favorite play thing by about three months.

I liked that the arm that held the papasan chair could be turned either way depending on how the baby wanted to rock or where you were sitting.

It also became a great place for my son to sleep, since the doctor recomended he be propped up at night for the best drainage of his eustachian tubes. The chair was comfortable enough that he didn't mind at all.

The only downsides to this swing are that it takes up a lot of room and does not travel well because it doesn't fold well since it's so large. Plus, be ready...

ahlory says "Good for a short time" about Fisher Price Deluxe Take Along Baby Swing

ahlory — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:11:58 GMT

This swing works wonderfully as a travel swing. In other words I would not use it as my "main" swing. It doens't hold as much weight adn it also doesn't have all teh nice bells and whistles that come with a larger swing. Also if you have any other children or pets it can be a little concerning having yor infant that close to teh ground. However, it is great to-travel with. If you have a child like mine, sometimes he won't fall asleep unless it is in his swing. This is very lightweight adn easy to fold in half adn pop in teh truck. We use it when we go visit with family and I find that it soothes him quite nicely. The material is easy to clean and comes off very easily to pop int teh washer and dryer. I bought this item new but I would say that it wasn't really worth the money. You can find tons of these travel swings used on places like Craigslist or your local thrift store. I wouldn't pay more than $20.00.

ahlory says "Love this product!" about Graco Rainforest open-top cradle swing

ahlory — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 03:06:18 GMT

I am now pregnant with my third son. When my first son was born six years ago he was a very fussy baby and the onyl things that could get him some sleep was to use his swing. It was another graco model similar to this. We would go though batteries like crzy! We always sai d"I wonder why they don't make swings that plug in!". Even using Dollar Tree batteries the cost would add up. When my next son was born he was not as fussy but still loved his swing! Again we spent alot of time talking about how we should invent a plug in swin g=- we couldn't believe it hadn't been done yet! Then as I was registering with my thrid child I realized that I was not teh ony one thinking this! There are two or three swings out now that plug in. The one I chose was teh Graco Rainforest swing. It does everythign our last swing could do - it plays music and lights up, but the best bonus is that batteries are thing of the past!

jenny4christ says "Best Bouncer ever!" about Fisher Price Rainforest Jumperoo

jenny4christ — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:36:19 GMT

Fisher Price has created an AWESOME toy for your young child! The Rainforest Bouncer is part of the adorable rainforest collection that I love! It is nice to have a jumping toy that does not hang from the doorway, but can be put near wherever you are and folded to be put away in a closet.

My daughter and nephew love this toy! I put my nephew in it to test it out before my daughter because he is bigger and he immediately started jumping away with a huge smile and laughter having the best time! He sure was fun to watch.

We did buy this product too soon and had to wait until our daughter could reach the ground before letting her play in it. We tried putting a box underneath so she could stand on that, but it didn't work as well.

It lights up and plays music. Your child can spin around in it and look at the different toys that go around the jumparoo. It is great for giving those little legs a workout!

It is worth the money!

jenny4christ says "One of my baby's favorite toys to play in!" about Fisher Price Rainforest Baby Bouncer

jenny4christ — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:27:20 GMT

This was one of the very first toys that I put my baby in. She absolutely loved it and would play happily, giving Mommy a chance to get some housework done!

The bouncer is adorable as well as eye-catching. My baby (and I) loved looking at the waterfall. She would grab onto the parrot and make it spin as well as grabbing the monkey. My one year old nephew even loved watching my baby play in it. He would touch the gecko that goes up and down on the top.

It is a great product to give your baby something fun to do near you while you are doing something else. My baby is still using it at 6 months.

If you are one who does not like the music loud, it has two volume settings as well as a silent mode where the waterfall and animals move without the music. My baby like the vibrator on, but it wears out the battery sooner.

I would definitely recommend this bouncer to others. It is by far the best bouncer I have seen! It is worth the money!

lindsayrocksosu says "Boppy travel swing even works for preemies" about Boppy Rock in Comfort Travel Swing

lindsayrocksosu — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 03:28:14 GMT

We had no idea what to look for in a swing and so just told a family member to pick one and buy it for us for our shower. She picked this b/c her friends had one and loved it. I am so glad she did! When our daughter came home from the hospital, she weighed 5lbs. We were able to put her in this swing with some additional padding and she loved it. It would rock her to sleep while playing soothing music. It has padding all over plus a little head cushion, so it is super comfy. It also has two little "creatures" that dangle down for baby to watch or interact with when she is older and are held on by velcro so you can add others. Comes in several colors; Ours is the neutral color and seemed to be very soothing to our daughter unlike a lot of the baby toys that are super bright (which is great for play time, not so great for nap time). It is super light weight and portable. It folds up so you can stick it in the corner or behind furniture and you just open it up and it is ready to......

nicka0246 says "best baby product ive ever purchased" about Fisher Price nature's touch papasan swing

nicka0246 — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 02:25:04 GMT

I purchased this swing for my second child. My first didnt like swings and i really wasnt sure whether or not to buy one for my daughter. When i first saw this swing i was skepitcal about buying it because it was so different from all the other swings and it looked so big but decided to give it a try. My daughter loved it. She slept very good in there especially when she had colds and she loved napping in it and just playing. Well let me tell you shes almost 2 and she still goes in it(thanks to the weight limit of 25 lbs which she hasnt reached yet). I dont know how im going to pry this swing from her. I definetly got my moneys worth. The cover comes off easily and is machine washable, its a safe product, and has alot of really nice features to it. I would recommend this product to any expectant parent. I love it

cactuslil says "Great little swing for the price. " about Fisher Price Open Top Take-Along Swing

cactuslil — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:06:22 GMT

My daughter just turned two months old and she spends a lot of time in this swing. So far, we haven't had to replace the batteries and we use it every day. It was really easy to put together, and took only about 10 minutes to get it all set up and ready to go.

My husband will put her in the swing after she falls asleep and she'll quietly swing in it for about an hour or two. I only wish the swing had soothing sounds or music for when she's feeling a bit fussy. The swing needs a little push to get started, but otherwise, we love it. My baby doesn't like to nap sleeping flat on her back, but she loves napping or quietly observing her little world with this. The fabric is a soft brushed material, and it comes with a safety belt strap to keep your baby from falling or squirming out. It has five speeds and the model I have is called Woodlands. I purchased it at Target for about $50 and feel it's very worth it.

mommabot says "Awesome to store or take along!" about Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Take Along Swing

mommabot — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:18:23 GMT

I used this swing for three kids and totally loved it! Don't leave the batteries in it between kids - I totally forgot to take them out and it was corroded beyond repair. My older two still enjoyed pushing my third baby in it, so it was fine. =)

I love that this swing folds up for easy storage. In between kids, there is so much stuff taking up garage space - high chair, crib, baby bouncer, walker, etc. It is definitely something to think about when purchasing a swing!

The cover is easy to remove for cleaning, but the straps do not come off. I tried soaking them in a cup of Biz but they still have some poo stains - icky!

I loved the fun fish design and bright colors on this swing. It has music and lights, but I almost never turned them on. It's cute, but I don't entertain my babies 24/7 and they are super happy babies. =)

I got rid of my swing because we were moving and needed the space and it didn't swing anymore anyway, but I will definitely be looking for another swing like this with...

NewStrategy says "My son just loved this chair, awake and asleep!" about Fisher Price aquarium cradle swing

NewStrategy — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 23:01:32 GMT

This Fisher Price Aquarium Swing really captivated my son during some very difficult medical times. He slept in it comfortably for a long time, and he would ask to go into it sometimes.

On the negative side, the thing really does suck batteries, and I wish it had a plug too, but we never had problems with any of the mobile, the lights or any of the other problems the other reviewers mentioned. You can save batteries a little bit by changing the settings on the mobile/lights/music. You can do just music, just motion, or motions, music and lights. When all 3 are running, the batteries go even faster.

I love the multiple speed settings, and we like the different seat angles that were available. The music is surprisingly pleasant and never seemed to grate on my nerves no matter how often we played it.

I would not hesitate to buy it again, and I would recommend it without reservation if it had a plug. If not, yes, there are a lot of batteries in your future.

phoebeandkohl says "Fisher Price Baby Papsan Cradle Swing is AWESOME" about Fisher Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing

phoebeandkohl — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 02:58:36 GMT

This is the best swing ever made. We originally had the Fisher Price Aquarium swing with our two-year-old daughter but got so tired of replacing the batteries. It was not worth using it all the time because it went through batteries so fast. When our 8 month old daughter was born with reflux and colic, we knew our old swing would not be sufficient. Due to the reflux, she slep better in the swing because she was not laying flat. Because it comes with an AC adapter and could be plugged in, I didn't feel bad having her nap in the swing or even overnight because we never had to replace a battery. We have the starlight version and the baby absolutely loved the little stars.lights and the mobile stars that moved. It has even been resilent enough to withstand the two-year old jumping in it (despite our pleas to stay out of it). It truly has been a lifesaver and I would never recommend any swing other than one that has an AC adapter,

LUNAAMOR says "The only thing that keeps my daughter happy " about Fisher Price Papasan Cradle Swing- nature's touch

LUNAAMOR — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:10:33 GMT

My baby NEEDS to have someone always holding her.

After two months of constant hlding her 24/7 i knew i needed to do something about it or i will never get things done at my house.

Well i looked for a swing since she like the rocking motion. I like this one since it has several different songs, nature noises etc...

Also you are able to change the swing to go from side to side to back and forth.

The first time she went in the swing, she was a bit fussy then with the rocking motion sh started falling asleep. All i could think was YESSSS...

Now when i need to do something i just put her on her swing and she will be happy there.

There are times when im busy and she is asleep on the swing and when she starts to wake up. I just change the motion like if it was going from side to side i change it to back and forth.

She falls asleep instantly, Im really happy with my purchase.

It is a bit on the high side price wise but is worth every penny.

Also it has this small noise when the swing is on motion...

melanieg678 says "adorable." about Fisher Price Precious Planet Cradle Swing

melanieg678 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 03:01:42 GMT

as soon as i saw the precious planet set i knew i had to have it for my newest addition. i bought the swing and its great except it runs on batteries and even with my 15 lb 6 month old the swing barely moves! its cute and all but it hardly does any "swinging" at all! the mobile is cute and the swing itself is super attractive but as an experienced mom i know there are better swings out there that actually work. i wish i had gone for a swing that was less adorable and more dependable and plugged in. trust me on this a swing that plugs in is way better than one that runs on batteries!

i wouldn't buy this swing again. the rest of the precious planet stuff is cute but this swing is just not worth it. the papasn swings work much better and even have more calming music than the precious planet one. its not always about cute, mamas! do your research and find a swing that works for infants, not just new borns!

kalibobabe says "Papasan swing is a good swing" about Fisher Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing

kalibobabe — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:43:44 GMT

My son wasn't really into swings but this one is a nice swing. It is most appropriate for a newborn. I like that it swings front to back and side to side. It is very comfortable and he liked the music choices. He didn't really watch the mirror or moving toys but they are cute. I liked that it was neutral. We didn't use it that often but I do know that it uses a lot of batteries from others who have this swing. If you plan on using it for napping or long nights, you probably want the adapter or a swing that plugs into an outlet. My son did seem to outgrow it early as he is a big baby. My husband felt it took up a lot of room in our living room. When we did use it, it kept my son happy and he often fell asleep in it. We did not use the tray because it was difficult to get on and off. It is very imprtant to strap a child into this swing as my son could get himself out of it at a young age- 2 months old. It is high off the ground and a child could be injured from a fall out of it.
