Fisher Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing —
I recieved this swing as a gift from my father for my son. It was hard to put together. It took a few people to hold pieces and screw them in. Also it doesn't fit through doors if you're wanting to move it to another room. You have to fold the legs in and once you get through the door it's hard to pull the legs back apart. It kept getting stuck for me and my family members. I guess it does take a big space up in your room. I loved that it was so soft and comfortable. I loved the moving mobile, it seemed to entertain both my children. It was for my first baby then I passed it on to my second baby and now I am letting my brother borrow it for his baby. But I do plan on getting it back since it's such a nice swing. Both my kids loved switching it up; going side to side, front to back. I loved that everytime they were in that swing they fell asleep and I could clean and get things done until they woke up. My daughter slept in that swing 24/7. I don't think she ever hardly slept in her actual bed until she outgrew the swing. The color was great because tan is such a nuetral color you can use it for boy or girl. I liked the cute toy bar that attaches to it so easily. I used it for my son and then a year later with my daughter. I'd have to say the downside of the swing is that the batteries die very quickly. I was always buying batteries. I don't know if I got one that was a little messed up, but it also tilted to one side quite a bit. I ended up having to put a weight bar over that leg just to ensure that the swing wouldn't tilt more than I thought it should. I would be scared it might completely fall over with the baby inside of it. But as I watched, it never fell over. Overall I thought it was a nice swing. I just wish I would've bought the cradle swing that was a little cheaper and plugged into the wall so I wouldn't have been wasting my money on all those four "D" size batteries every other day. But since it was a gift, I'm happy with it. :) And I plan to keep using it in the future if I plan more future children. :) Either that or I'll buy a new one, better one. Haha!
