Thursday, September 30, 2010 Nature's Purest Complete Comfort Swing, Hug Me Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We received this swing over a year ago as a baby shower gift.The baby is now 15 months and she still likes to ride in it.Sometimes she sits in the swing and falls asleep in it.I really like that you can position the seat from sitting to reclining.The only complaint I have is that the "mobile" it comes with doesn't do anything.I wish it moved or was more colorful or something.Otherwise, the swing is great!The material is soft and gentle for an infant and it's light enough to move it around the house.It's grown with my baby, so far.I'm not sure what the weight limit is, but my baby is about 28 pounds now and the swing still works perfectly fine.Most importantly, baby likes it!

Wednesday, September 29, 2010 Little Tikes 2 in 1 Snug N Secure Swing Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We purchased this product for my son's first christmas. He is actually 5 1/2 months old trapped in a 1 yr olds body. He loves his swing we live in florida so he gets to use all the time. Its also a headache remedy when he's cranky and needs to sleep but doesn't want to, We put him in his swing for about 10 min and when we take him out he's ready for nap time! I totally recommend this swing. Some say the snaps are slightly difficult to get off, too me i think it's the safest part. My husband likes it because he knows he won't fall out and he can't drop him.

Tuesday, September 28, 2010 Graco SweetPeace Newborn Soothing Center Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I have owned and used the Sweetpeace for a little over three months now, waiting to write a review until I got to know it well.
I have a ten-year-old son.When I entered the market for baby products once again in 2008, I was amazed at how much more complicated things were.When a simple, battery powered open-top swing was the best you could get in 1998, a "Soothing Center" that promised everything next to changing the baby's diaper was on the market now!I was cynical about it all, but must admit that many of the features on this product claimed to make improvements to issues that I remembered learning by trial and error with baby #1 could use improvement.I decided to try it out as the one big nicety of my baby gear shopping.
First of all, the pros:
~ To address other reviews, I hear no difference between the motor noise on this and what I remember my battery powered Graco open-top swing sounding like.If it uses electricity, it will make some type of sound.Perhaps varying factors could affect this, I don't know, but mine is almost silent.
~ I find the music/white noise sounds to be wonderful; rich in sound with decent variation in selection.Someone mentioned as a con to this product that "Flight of the Bumblebee" (one of the song choices) was not a soothing song.It isn't supposed to be; despite the name of the product, not everything on it is there to lull a baby.There are two music buttons.One has slow, soothing music.The other plays upbeat, fun songs which one would use at a non-sleeping time (unless your kid can sleep through anything, like mine thus far).
~ Some have mentioned the volume being only a choice between loud and louder.I disagree!The lowest setting is hard for me to hear it on (and yes, even when my ten-year-old is away at school)!The loud is LOUD, though.Probably too loud for baby when IN the seat.But I've played baby's music for her while we play, and MY music through it while I clean.The sound is clear and rich...almost Bose worthy.
~ The white noise button has fantastic detail.For example, the mother's heartbeat choice not only has a heartbeat, but also the 'swishing' noise of the liquid activity the baby would have probably heard in the womb, as well.I own a few things that mimic my heartbeat for baby, but that is a first.
~ On a last note regarding sound, you are not limited to an I-pod if you want to plug-in to play your own MP3s, either; anything that uses a 3.5mm plug works.I've used my Rio MP3 player an even my laptop.Nice touch in a world where it's getting all too rare to find a product that gives more than a designated I-Pod docking station.
~ The control pad, by the way, is great.Intuitive buttons, backlit with a non-intrusive blue light.When you turn the swing/sounds off, it remembers your setting next time (i.e., if you had the speed set on four, four will be what it defaults to when you press the on button next time).
~ As others have stated, the Sweetpeace plugs in to the wall.That right there sold me, as batteries for my old open-top swing practically sent me to the poor house ten years ago.Unfortunately, the vibration on the seat still uses a D battery.However, that is necessary as the seat comes off to use other places and allow for a Graco Infant Carrier to be placed for use on the swing.
~ Being able to make the seat face backward, foward, right or left as well as in three different recline positions brings MUCH variety for baby.Just when mine seems to get sick of one view/movement, a new position of the chair makes it like a whole new swing.Sanity saver.
Now, though few, I count these as cons:
~ Some of the selling points for this product are gimmicky, in my opinion.Their idea of you sleeping with the swaddling blanket to give it your smell for baby is a sweet one.But my smell is already on much stuff she's near often, namely ME.The swaddle blanket was too cumbersome and small for use with my baby, anyhow...and she is small-ish as babies go...in the 30th percentile in baby size for her age (seven pounds at birth). The teddy bear looking head support (though adorable) was too big for my newborn's head and kind of got in the way.We took it out and used two tightly rolled security blankets on each side of her body to support her instead.I recently gave the head support another chance now that she's bigger.Now it places her neck/head in an uncomfortabe position.
~ It isn't easy to move around the room like I did with the old swing.I have a small living room with lots of furniture to maneuver around, so that tends to be an issue for me.If you are tight on space and need to move the swing to another location in the room in order to store/use it, take that into consideration.It feels very sturdy though, which puts one's mind at ease.
~ The other bother is the lame attempt at activity toys for baby.Mine is only three months old and is already bored.The toy bar consists of a mirror with a rattle that can't be held, and a teether that can't be chilled and will probably still be way too fat for my baby's mouth in six months.Oh, and a third spot that looks like it should have a toy, but which actually has/does nothing.I usually just remove the toy bar all together (maybe that will change when she is older).However, when you remember that this is not an Exersaucer--it's a swing--that drawback is a small one.
This swing is not perfect, but comes very close to it.I was hesitant to buy it, but am very glad I took a chance.

Monday, September 27, 2010 Fisher-Price i-Glide Cradle 'n Swing, Green Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was purchased for our baby, who is due May 5th, back at Christmas time by Grandparents.It hadn't been released yet by Fisher Price so we just received it today.Even though I hadn't seen this in stores, I like new products and am easily swayed by new "features"!My 10 year old daughter and I put it together.It was easy enough as long as you follow the directions.The seat is a nice soft micro plush fabric and will be easy to take off and put on for washing.I really like that this product swings and glides and you can turn the seat to either cradle or swing.The "gliding" is actually just moving back and forth without a swinging motion.Still it's a nice feature as you don't know what your particular baby will be happy with.LOVE that this swing plugs into the wall (though you can put batteries in it if you want) !!That was actually the main feature that drew me to this swing.Hated the old swings that ate batteries.I also like the head support as well.Oh and the songs and nature sounds are awesome and the volume control great!Plus the foot buttons are really great too.So here are the drawbacks that made this swing only earn 4 vs. 5 stars:first is that the seat sits quite low.While I know most swings do sit low, I thought this one was a bit higher.I am 5'7" and will be bending down quite a bit to put the baby in.The "seat recline" is really two options, really reclined or reclined and that's it.I found there is really not much difference between the two options.But my biggest complaint is the mobile.Though really cute and I love that the bottom is a mirror for baby to look at, it doesn't move at all.The butterflies are plastic and I guess the baby could bat at them.It's quite low to the seat and is really in the way when it comes to putting baby in and out.There is no way to swing it out of the way so you'll have to tip baby head down a bit to put in under the mobile and into seat while bending down.It's annoying but I still really like this swing and would recommend it.It is ALMOST the perfect swing!

Fisher-Price Newborn Rock 'n Play Sleeper Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wish I had this for my daughter six years ago.Just like with my daughter, my new son (3 weeks old) doesn't like to be put down and lay flat on his back in his pack and play or crib.This sleeper is PERFECT!He's been sleeping in it for the past two days.I got the dishes done with two hands and I slept so much better last night without him in the bed (and the worry that goes with that).
The sleeper is in the reclined sitting position that you naturally hold a baby in.He doesn't even notice that I'm not holding him anymore.And while he's cozy and snug, there isn't any safety concern with breathing space.
This is easy to put together (I did it by myself) and light weight enough to tote around the house.
I love this product and recommend it to anyone with a newborn that doesn't like to be put down!!

Sunday, September 26, 2010 Disney Baby All-in-One Swing Featuring Pooh Characters, Ambrosia Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This was given to us as a shower gift. It is very sturdy and attractive in appearance. My son loves to swing in it. The only complaint I have is that the speeds are not all that different. You adjust the speed level all the way up and there's not really a noticeable difference from speed 1. The music and sounds are nice, but I wish they would play just a little bit longer than they do. Otherwise, this is a great swing.
