This is the best toy you can get for you newborn....my first born daughter loved it from the very second she sat on it.....music is very soothing and the the cradle is beautiful......

I love this swing!The floating butterflys keeps my baby girl in awe. The ability to switch the seat in 3 different positions and it leans way back. My only compliants: the swinging knock can interupt your child if he/she is cranky. The music seems not to flow right, just about when my baby is about to fall asleep the few relaxing songs end and then something upbeat comes along and she wakes up, so I just keep it on the nature sound which is very plesant to listen to. I've had this for about a week now-the buttons already seem to have a few weak spots-sometimes the light doesnt want to quite turn on right away, the music wont start.
Other than my little issues its a beautiful swing!

I was very happy with my service...unfortunately i had to return the swing, but the process was very quick and painless.

I bought this swing because it is adorable, and because of all the great reviews. The music doesn't flow together at all, a lot of the music sounds like carnival music... Not soothing bed time music. So whenever a semi-peaceful songs plays, a high strung song follows. The nature sounds are great though, so I'm probably going to keep it on that setting. You also can't choose the song you want to hear, you can only choose from 4, then the swing plays the rest one after another, you don't get to choose what song your baby will get to sleep to, which I really don't like at all since they accentuate the abundant number of songs and sounds, you'd think you'd at least get to choose them...The motor is also pretty loud. It sounds like fisher price took an annoying scratching noice and amplified it. Its hard to hear soft music over it, so you basically have to blast the songs and sounds to ever hear it properly. For the money, I wish I had gotten a swing with a better thought out design that actually swung well and wasn't noisey. But- I listened to all the raving reviews and though I was getting somthing great! Its not a bad swing, just not really what it is made out to be.

I LOVE this swing..and so does my baby. Absolutely the BEST purchase for a new baby. The cradle action..and FULL recline are excellent for newborns. The shape provides such a nice "nesting" feel for the baby as well. The netting create a beautiful effect and also provide the additional illusion of protection for the baby. She feel surrounded..which also aids to that "nesting" feel. The straps provide the real protection! The toy bar is okay, but we hardly ever use it..too much extra work to get baby in and out. But I'm glad it comes completely off rather than staying on a hinge! LOVe that this sucker PLUGS IN..so you aren't burning through batteries. This is my 3rd baby in 11 years..plus I've ran a daycare for the majority of those years and I have burned through many swings and tons of batteries. This is my first electric! The lightes dome at the top mesmerized my baby during those first three months..when babies are constantly drawn to light and shadows. Now she's reaching for the flowers that spin around above her! Just be ware..this swing..like all others DOES burn out and WON'T function as well once your baby begins to pack on some pounds. My girl is turning 9 months and almost 20 pounds and this swing is just about ready to give up on her altogether! lol But it still makes a good seat. It's secure, has toys, music and light..think of it as a bigger, better, not-so-bouncy seat...at this point anyway! lol I will probably pack it away soon and save what life is left for the next newborn...crossing my fingers for one more baby..and this sucker is pink...so shooting for another girl! :) If not, we will just have to teach our new baby boy to be secure with his feminine side..and dress him in a whole lot of blue to make up for it! lol Seriously, tho I cherish this swing. There really isn't anything else that our baby has gotten more use out of. It's just perfection. A MUST HAVE! Don't try to save money by getting one without the lighted dome or the netting. Those little details will be well worth the extra couple of dollars...REALLY! I have a neighbor that has one without the net and it LOOKS scarier..not to say that it really is any scarier..but it LOOKs as though the baby could just fall out at any time. I think that netting probably adds the same effect to the baby, too..an extra sense of security. I think they feel cozier with the canopy.

This certainly is the best product to get your child to sleep, mine loves it, however shortly after beginning to use it , the rotating butterflies & star light dome really begins to squeak..The entire swinging cradle also creaks a little.... i'd love to find a better version that is completely quiet , for my sake, my child doesn't seem to mind the noise....

We love this swing! It took my baby about 5 weeks before she really started to appreciate this swing, but now she LOVES it. She is mesmerized by the light show, and soothed by the rocking. Its a very classy design, not gaudy like a lot of swings i've seen. It was easy to put together, took about 30 minutes.

This swing is beautiful.There are not too many pink swings that have a classy design. Had this same type of swing with my first daughter and she loved it. Looking forward to my new baby loving it too.

I got this for my baby girl and for the first month we had no problems. She absolutely adored this swing. Then one day I plugged it in turned it on and the swing didn't swing. I tried new batteries, I even switched outlets, nothing. After a month the swing broke and I had one very very unhappy baby. So basically I spend almost $200.00 for something that lasted a month.

This swing i bought for my second child. i had a similar one for my first. this swing by far outshines the previous one and all others i researched. i really enjoy the choice between battery or outlet.

easy to assemble, and the baby loves it.
good sound collection and awesome features.
