I bought the fisher price rainforest swing for my son when he was just 5 weeks old and he loved it from the first time he went in it. he will stare for ages at the mobile and often falls asleep in it. i love the fact that when he's a bit older, I can turn the seat from the 'cradle' position (for younger babies) to the 'swing' position. The music has 4 different settings. one for when baby is sleepy with calm soft music. one for when baby is active with nursery rhymes plus 2 others - one rainforest sounds and the other is like pan pipes and water. The music and mobile will switch off automatically after 7 minutes and there is a reset button to start it up again. I have had this swing for over 2 months now and haven't had to replace the batteries once, yet my son goes in it every day. It's great for when i'm trying to get on with the house work as he is kept occupied and i know he is safe and securely strapped in.

I bought this for my newborn baby who cannot settle without being held - the swing has been a total godsend. I discovered my 5 week old doesn't like vibration (after I spent money on a vibrating cot!) so struggled with what type of bouncer/swing to get. He likes to be on the move and seems to fall asleep when his gran swings him side to side so we thought this swing my help get him sleeping - and it does! My husband thought this was going to be a waste of good money as it is quite expensive compared to some of the bouncers out there but we both agree that it has been so useful - at last I can have dinner without having to eat it with one hand as we can put him down and let the swing lull him to sleep - I can even leave him in it to get a quick shower. Sometimes when he isn't sleepy he does get bored with it but it does keep him occupied for a short period of time which is still better than nothing!
The pendulum motion of the seat is slightly noisy but you soon get used to it. Also, my 5 week old isn't yet interested in the mobile, I actually think it scares him a bit, but that can be folded out of the way and the swinging action rocks him off to sleep happily. We have used this every day since we got it and are so glad we did- I would definitely recommend this to anyone especially those with a newborn.
UPDATE: Our son is now nearly 7 months old and we are still using this swing on a daily basis, several times a day (we have it in front of the tv), and the batteries have yet to be changed! Fantastic!

I am a mum of 3 and only bought one of these for my last baby and OMG why did I not buy one sooner I don't know??!!!...well I do actually...I didn't buy one because I thought it was a lot of money to spend and a bouncer would surfice! If only I knew! When my 3rd baby was born, my son was only 11mths, and so I really had my hands full, so when I saw one reduced I bought it. My 11mth old was not too happy about having another baby in the house so it wasn't very safe to leave her on her playmat if I had to leave the room even for a second, which is another reason it was so great having the swing. I have used it to feed her in, rock her to sleep in and she loves sitting in it and playing with toys when i'm busy with the housework - it's like having an extra pair of hands around the house. It does get through batteries like they're going out of fashion and so I would recommend getting one of those battery chargers and you will save yourself a fortune (but even if you run out of batteries late at night and have no spares swinging it yourself does the trick too LOL). It does take up a fair amount of room...but believe me it's worth it - you can fold it in half but still to this day I have never put it away! It still can send my baby to sleep extremely quickly. The colours are bright, the mobile catches baby's attention and the music is not annoying at all! I will now stop waffling!
