Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider - Butter Bunny
Customer Review: Thank you, glider!
Summary: 5 Stars
Received this item as a shower gift and thought it was a bit ridiculous for the price (it was purchased by a childless relative). I thought "what can this thing possibly do for $70 that a $40 bouncy seat can't?"
Well, for one- put my child to sleep! I don't have an exceptionally fussy baby or anything, but this thing WORKS for putting her to sleep when she is in that state where she's just kind of drowsy and not wanting to be put down. Some days/nights I would never be able to sleep or get anything done without this thing, honestly.
I have three children and I was always a fan of bouncy seats...so were my kids. My two month old (third child) will NOT tolerate her bouncer for more than 10-15 minutes, whereas she will actually sleep through the night in the glider. The noise is not bothersome at all to me (or the baby). It seems to go pretty easy on batteries- I have the same D batteries in it since I put it together and I'm sure it's been on for at least 5 or 6 hours total (probably more!). It's easy to carry from room to room, super SUPER comfy for tiny ones and just an absolute blessing to me and my sleep-deprived husband.
Baby's happy. Daddy's happy. Mama's happy!
I was totally wrong about this product- in my mind, it's a fantastic thing and well worth every penny that my childless relative paid for it (I guess it doesn't always pay to have experience!).
Thank you fisher price!
Customer Review: Go for a baby swing instead of this glider
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought this for our 1 week old baby. Here are our findings:
1. Babies cry - thats the only thing they do. If a baby has to cry, she will cry even if u put her in this glider. If u want to buy this glider to calm ur baby, then its an absolute NO. If ur baby is crying, do pick her up and she will stop instantaenously. Putting a crying baby in this glider does not work at all.
2. Too slow to put a baby to sleep - If u want ur baby to go to sleep in this glider - then let me tell u - the trick is not going to work. This glider is too slow to put a baby to sleep on her own. You want something faster to put a baby to sleep. Best of all I would recommend, hold your baby, put her to sleep and then put her in this glider.
3. In our 1 month usage, we figured out that this glider does help extend the sleep time of ur baby by about 30 minutes - if she is in her sound sleep - not when she is dreaming (babies tend to do this more). May be it will help older babies sleep for longer duration but that is it.
Advantages:
Sound is not too much. At least it doesnt disturb a sleeping baby.
Looks really good.
We never felt our daughter ever liked this because she was in it only when she was sleeping. When she is awake, she doesnt want to be in inside it.
We finally ended up buying a swing from Fisher price. In the swing, the baby does go to sleep. Best of all, even if she wakes up, she will go back to sleep on her own. The noise is much lower than the glider. Its fast and does serve the purpose.
I would recommend a baby swing over this glider.
Thanks.
Customer Review: Not quite worth the price
Summary: 3 Stars
This glider was great for my daughter to sleep in her first 8 weeks or so. She never actually liked it to be turned on, which worked out well because it does make a rather loud noise when it's in motion. She has just turned 4 months and I'm already packing it away since she's able to plant her feet at the bottom and push up, causing her to hit her head on the top bar. Also beware of the toy bar; I double-checked it every time I put it in, and it would still pop out of the left side every once in awhile.Customer Review: too slow, too big, too expensive
Summary: 1 Stars
We received this as a gift, and my daughter did not like at at all (at least she didn't seem "soothed" to me). The movement was way to slow to soothe her and was not smooth like rocking-- unlike swings, it doesn't work from momentum, so it seems jerky to me. It is heavy, hard to move, and loud. She much prefers her swing, and it actually takes up less space.Customer Review: My daughter likes it
Summary: 5 Stars
My daughter is almost 2 weeks old. She fits comfortably in the glider and looks pretty comfortable in it. It is a little noisy, but not enough to really disturb sleep. She has slept for up to 6 hrs in it at night so far. I put a set of cheap D batteries in it that I paid $1 for at Target the day I brought her home 10 days ago. We run it all night long on low and the batteries seem to be going strong still. I also liked how high off the ground it is. Not low like a bouncer. We really enjoy this glider.
