Fisher Price Cradle 'n Swing

When we got pregnant with our little one, we hadn't planned on buying a swing. We live in a small home and don't have a lot of extra space, so we opted to skip the swing. Well, after 4 weeks of having baby home, we changed our minds. I needed something that might stop her from crying, and I heard some people say swings do the trick. Well, it sure worked for us! I love her fisher price cradle 'n swing! I love the colors, (soothing greens, blues and white) and that it plays sounds as well as songs. The swing itself has 6 different speeds, and you can turn the part that the baby sits in so that she can swing in different directions. Its battery operated, which surprised me. I figured something like that would be electric. But even so, in the months that we've had it, we've only had to change the batteries twice. My only complaint about it is that the top of the swing has 2 critters hanging off of it, and they do not turn. I thought they would turn. Even so, they move with the movement of the swing. I put my daughter in the swing, turn the nature sounds on, and she stares at the critters as she swings. It takes up a bit of space, but they all do. This swing is awesome. I highly recommend it to anyone. My little one has been using it for months and still loves it. It was a lifesaver for us!
