Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Rainforest Open-Top Cradle Swing
Customer Review: Love this swing!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this swing when my son was about one month old. He loves it! He really likes the bright colors of the mobile animals and used to stare at them in amazement. As he has gotten older (he's now over 4 months), he gets bored a little more easily, so he doesn't like to stay in it for as long as he used to. I usually use the swing when I need to get things done around the house and can't take him along - like cook meals. I'm sad that he's quickly approaching the weight limit of 20 pounds (he's a big kid), so we won't be able to use it for a longer period of time.
We bought this particular swing because of the bright colors, its ability to be plugged in, and because it can swing both side to side and front to back. We also liked the music choices. Most of the songs are easy to listen to and won't drive you crazy. There is even one choice of just animal sounds (birds chirping, etc). It's nice for when you really don't want music playing in the background of your phone call.
Some people have reported problems with the swing stopping, saying they have a faulty motor. After a few days, we thought this was our problem as well. But then we realized that the seat wasn't aligned properly. Since you rotate the seat to change the swinging direction, you can change the center of gravity of the seat. Rotating the seat very slightly to the left or right and making sure the vertical swinging bar is centered in front of the plastic part (just under the picture of the elephant) will make it swing much better. As long as I check that the swinging bar is centered before turning it on, it works perfectly.
Customer Review: Maggie's dream machine
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this swing from Scotland for my grand-daughter in New Jersey. I am told that she loved it from the start and her big sister chooses the tune for her. It fits in really well with the decor as it is made with neutral fabric and has become Maggie's "chair" in the living room.Customer Review: Love this swing

I absolutely love this swing. It has been great and who wouldn't love the plug in feature...how great is that!! I am a mother of 5 and this is the first swing with a plug in option which saves tons on batteries! My 2 month old loves to look at the mobile and likes the music. I also love the way the swing handle moves the baby either direction to swing. I highly recommend this swing! Customer Review: Rainforest Cradle Swing
Summary: 4 Stars
This product's best feature is that it plugs into a power outlet. I had the Aquarium Swing prior to this one and the Rainforest Cradle Swing is nice, I just wish it had more bells and whistles like the Aquarium Swing did. Overall, my daughter loves this swing. Another nice feature that is that the seat swivels 180 degrees and she can sit upright or recline in it. I just wish the tray had some toys that she could play with. My daughter is 4 months old. We just attached rings to the tray and she loves to bat at them.Customer Review: Got Some Great and Some Not So Great Features
Summary: 4 Stars
I previously owned two ocean wonders swings but needed a new swing. I purchased this immediately due to the plug-in option. I have a son who has had chronic ear infections so he spent many nights sleeping in this swing. Here's what I like: the swinging motion is gentle. The ocean wonders swings were a little too forceful in the swinging if you ask me. I also like the fact that the swing has a open top and the mobile can move out the way. I bonked my baby's head a zillion times on the ocean animals getting him out with the other swing. The plug-in option is terrific. NO MORE D BATTERIES!!! What I don't like or should I say hate, is the fact that the tray table is permanently attached to the swing. I'll be the first to admit that the detachable tray was sometimes a pain because it would always be on the floor or there was never a place for it, but now, if you don't want to use the tray it's just there and now my son likes to grab on it and slam it down repeatedly. I have to always use it even when I don't want to. That is my chief complaint. Other than that, I have not had a problem and recommend this swing.
