Description of Fisher-Price Smart Stages 3-in-1 Rocker Swing
Fisher-Price Smart Stages 3-in-1 Rocker Swing is a full-size open-top swing, an infant seat and a toddler rocker in one! As an infant seat it is a convenient feeding place for baby.

Five soothing songs stimulate baby's auditory senses and when baby becomes a toddler and pushes with legs and feet to rock the gross motor skills are stimulated. The swing has easy-release seat handles and a kickstand which locks. The seat easily removes from the swing frame so mom can move baby around the house or can store the swing frame when child is older. There are 2 soothing speeds, 5 songs, a volume control and a toybar with two removable toys. The Infant seat has a fold-out kick-stand for feeding or sleeping. As baby grows, the seat also converts to a toddler rocking chair that accommodates a child up to 40lbs. Requires 4-D alkaline batteries.

The Rocker Swing offers a 3-in-1 design with a full-size open-top swing, an infant seat, and a toddler rocker in one durable and stable unit. Easy to use, the swing has two speeds and five songs to calm cranky babies and engage their auditory skills, and a toy bar with two plush animals removes easily for more play or set-up options.

Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Smart Stages 3-in-1 Rocker Swing
Customer Review: Glad we didn't waste our money on this one!
Summary: 3 Stars
We received this swing as a gift for my son, and are not overly impressed by it.
Cons: 1. It is very annoying to assemble
2. It only buckles on the bottom. A 5 pt harness is a lot safer, especially if your infant can sit up. (My son sits all the way forward which i totally not safe... if the buckle gets loose- he can fall!)
3. Only two speeds. (For a while I had another swing which we borrowed, and the faster speeds put my son to sleep instantly. He does not like to sit in this swing at all and usually cries when I try to put him in.)
4. The toy bar is garbage, it does not stay in place, and the toys are silly. (Once my son was old enough to reach for it, he was able to pull it off easily and it would poke him in the face- very DANGEROUS! We do not put it up ever.)
5. If your infant's hands wander too much to the sides, they can get caught between the metal bars!
6. Careful when you wash the material, the color does run-even in cold! (Our seat's cover is yellow, hence the yellowish tinge to several other things that were washed in that delicate load).
and the Pros: 1. Very sturdy
2. The rocking chair is nice to have, even for an older child... (but purchasing a plain rocking chair is much more worth it!)
3. Easy to wash the seat cover if it gets dirty (but the light yellow isn't the best idea since this seats best use is as a rocker to an older child).
4. Good battery life (could be because we do not use it very often).
OVERALL RATING: It is good in theory... but don't waste your money! There are better ones out there-- keep looking!
