Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Open-Top Cradle Swing
Customer Review: Great swing... at least the parts that work...
Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this swing when I got it... great seat adjustment options, great mobile, great music options, and I loved that it plugged into an electrical outlet (and was not battery-operated like my Fischer-Price Aquarium Swing). However, the music functionality broke within 2-3 weeks of getting it. I called Fischer-Price customer service, and they sent me a new motor unit, no questions asked. I got the new motor within 3-4 days. Great, right? NOOOOOOOOO!!! The music functionality in the second unit broke, too, this time after about 4-5 weeks. I didn't even bother calling Fischer-Price again, and now we just use the swing and mobile, without music.Customer Review: Alright

Our twin boys didnt really like this swing until they were 4 1/2 months old...they would cry and fuss to get out (guessing the colors were too much stimulation for them?). Now they are mesmerized by the mobile and enjoy the side to side motion. Nice that it plugs in and has an electric mobile. Easy to change from side to front mode. Overall we are happy with this.Customer Review: Best swing I've owned
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third baby and my third swing (I had a hand crank one and a battery powered cradle swing before). This is the best one I've had yet. I love the bright colors and great mobile toys that actually keep babies attention, that it has the ac adaptor (which is all that we've used), and the option of baby swinging front to back or side to side as different babies prefer different ways. Unlike others I don't find the motor too loud. It's as loud as other swings and the sound of the motor is usually soothing to a baby anyway. I put the swing together by myself and it went together quickly. I feel that it is sturdy. The seat is at a great angle for a newborn and can adjust when they want to sit upright. I don't care too much for the music or sounds (although my older kids like it) but I like that the mobile moves and the leaves on the mobile open and close. My baby is still small (about 11 lbs.) but I don't worry about the swing not being able to handle more weight since we have only had to use the lowest swing setting to keep it moving. The other swing I was going to chose was a papasan swing but the new style was on back order and I was nervous about the reports of babies tipping out of the seat. That's not a problem on this swing and my baby looked snug and comfortable even as a newborn. I'm happy with my purchase. Customer Review: Love this Swing!
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter loves this swing. It is worth every penny. The swing has been a life saver on many occasions. We love that you have the option to plug it in or to use batteries. It does take up a bit of space but we opted for this one over the travel size swing. The swing offers several music selections and diffent levels of power on the swinging motion. Overall a great product. Our daughter is 6 months and still loves it.Customer Review: Short lived item for bigger babies

This swing has it's good and bad points.
The GOOD:
-Easy to assemble
-Comfortable seat for baby to fall asleep in
-Most of the music is not annoying to me
-Plugs in to the wall, I've never put batteries in it
-Mobile swings out of the way
-Swings both directions
The BAD:
-The tray comes down in between the legs, making it difficult to use when you have the baby swaddled or in a nightgown
-Now that my baby is around 16+ lbs, the motor is working overtime, sounds noisy, and the swing itself is getting unstable. I think I may have to retire it long before he hits the actual weight limit of the swing.
I'm disappointed that this swing is not going to last much longer. It seems to be one of the best things for my baby when he gets wound up. But lately one of the legs is rising up off the floor when he is swinging. If you have a smaller baby, it will probably work well for you. It would work better if the tray was removable or there was no leg center piece.
