Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Open-Top Cradle Swing

Customer Review: not good for chunky baby
Summary: 2 Stars

We thought this was going to be the perfect swing for our 2 month old. It plugs in, has a VERY cute mobile, good music, and swings in 2 different directions. Well, once we got it home and put our baby in it (2 months and 16 lbs) it looked like it was going to tip over! No matter what direction we put it in, the swing just wobbled like crazy. Although he loved it and smiled the whole time he was in it, it just wasn't safe for our little chunky guy. If you have a small baby, it would be great...but not for us.

Customer Review: Not a bad swing, it's decent.
Summary: 4 Stars

Bought this swing for my 3rd son, it's a good swing, no problems so far. I like how the seat swivels and the mobile arm raises, those features wold have been nice on the old aquarium swing. The only downfall on this swing is it's a little loud, only has 2 sound options and there's no lights. The ocean wonders had a light fixture at the top. My son is only a month old but he doesn't even notice the mobile. Kinda wish I had bought the ocean wonders again just becuase my other 2 boys loved the lights mobile more then anything. All in all it's a good swing.

Customer Review: A decent product for a limited time
Summary: 4 Stars

We bought this swing the day we brought our son home from the hospital. For a new baby, it is perfect. It reclines far so that a wobbly-headed baby can lay comfortably. The gentle rocking relaxes baby and puts baby to sleep. At that age, he wasn't at all interested in the mobile.

As he has gotten older, the swing has grown fairly well with him. We haven't had issues with the swing petering out, the music stopping, or any of the other technical issues parents have mentioned in previous reviews. We have never used the tray, so I don't really have any opinion on that feature. I can say that from about 6 weeks through 3 months, our son LOVED the mobile and he has always loved the music, especially the natural water one with the animal sounds.

Now that he is 4 months old, he is almost 26 inches long and he takes up almost the whole swing. I can't sit him with his bottom in the actual dip because his head nearly touches the metal bar that holds the swing. He also likes to sit upright now and this swing does not have a totally upright setting, so he gets frustrated in it unless he is tired. The swinging motion is starting to go a little slower at this point, so I think that at 16 lbs he is already outgrowing it. It is supposedly good up to 25 lbs, but I don't think it will make it past 20. It has been great while it lasted, though.

Customer Review: Keeps our baby happy.
Summary: 5 Stars

Was very useful (essential really) when our boy was younger. The plug feature meant that we didn't have to keep putting batteries in the thing. No, it isn't cheap, but we thought it was worth every penny.

Customer Review: Returned.....I guess it was defective?
Summary: 2 Stars

I was so excited to order this swing. My sister raves about her Ocean Wonders Cradle Swing. I ordered this one instead because it plugged into the wall.

When I got it I was very pleased with the colors. It looked so nice and the assembly was pretty quick and easy.

However, it would barely swing with the baby in it. Since we already have traditional swing from subsequent children I was really puzzled. The highest swing setting was comparable to the lowest on my other swing. Baby was not happy after being used to faster motion.

So I boxed it up and will be returning it tomorrow. So far the return process to amazon has been very smooth and easy. Go Amazon! I choose to get a refund as the replacement would have been the same swing and after reading some of these review it might not have been defective after all. I might have to try out my sisters in person before I decide if I will reorder the Ocean Wonders.
