Fisher-Price Open-Top Cradle Swing
Fisher-Price Open-Top Cradle Swing
Baby takes a relaxing swing (side-to-side or front-to-back) as she watches plush rainforest friends in the mobile above play “peek-a-boo” among the leaves. While baby reclines in comfort, one of 12 different songs play, along with soothing nature sounds. And when baby’s trip to the rainforest is over, the mobile swings away…until another day.
Swing includes: six soothing swing speeds (with a plug-in option that can save you money on batteries) two-position reclining seat and 3-point restraint. Folds easily for storage. Requires 4 “D” (LR20) alkaline batteries not included. Measures 43″H x 36″W x 28″L.
Fisher-Price Open-Top Cradle Swing Reviews
(1) 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.
(2) We bought this swing from Babiesrus and my daughter loves it so much, she likes being in it all the time. The great thing about this swing is that it is a plug in so we dont waste too much money on batteries! We did not have any problems with this swing, it swings both ways, front to back and side to side. The speed adjusts according to what the baby is comfortable with. The mobile spins, keeping my daughter well entertained and the music is great too. It has jungle sounds, rain, and different lullabys. I would recommend this swing to everyone!
