POOR DESIGN, I WOULD GIVE ZERO STARS
What a disappointment!
1. The swing is unstable, it moves from all his joints. My baby is about 10 lbs. The swing's feet are lifting from the ground when it's on (on the lowest speed). The design is poorly thought: the seat is positioned too high above ground,making the swing unstable!!!!
2. The baby doesn't like side to side movement (cradle movement).
3. It's not quiet (as I read in other reviews). It's not very loud either, but for sure not quiet (compared to Graco swing my first baby had).
4. The chair is not adjustable!!! (The Graco swing I had for my first child had three positions adjustable seat!). So the child can't just sit in the chair to look around (as my first child did in a basic Graco swing).
5. The chair is not comfortable and the pillow doesn't come off!
6. It is difficult to take the child from the swing because the distance to the toy above is too short!!! Hate it!
7. The music stops too soon (a few minutes). Anyhow the music,sounds, toy features are unimpressive (even to a small baby).

A positive thing: my baby likes the mirror (but he used the swing for a short time, he may get bored of it).

This is a short list because I've just received it yesterday.
A lesson I seem to never learn: the simple, basic models are the best!!!!

AWESOME SWING!
This swing is absolutely awesome and cute. The baby loves it and I even get so many compliments on it. It's a lifesaver, I use it more than the playpen. I LOVE IT!!!

Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - Nature's Touch
I bought this as a gift for my new nephew. He is now 1 month old and LOVES this swing. It soothes him and keeps him occupied when his parents need some time to sit a relax for a few moments. I think this is a MUST BUY for all new parents.

Love it
I love this swing, and so does my daughter. She sits and grins at herself in the mirror, and smiles at the leaves and birds that spin. It is perfect, because it puts her right to sleep, and then after 20 minutes, the music stops, and the birds stop circling to keep from waking her up.

Glad I bought the swing.
I am glad I bought this swing. For many months I looked at all kinds of swings and the feedback they all received, then I finally settled on buying this one. Im glad I did, my son loves it and it really helped when he was fighting sleep, he couldn't help but to give in to the swinging and the music. Even when he was just fussy I would try the swing to see if it would help and it did very often. He loves watching himself in the mirror and watching the little bugs twirl around and go in circles around the mirror. The only con I have noticed is that the legs have to be in the perfect position to get the best swing motion, but really that was just adjusting the stand here and there and then it would swing perfectly. Like any parent I like to see my child happy, and to me the swing is worth every cent, and that is important too.

I had to give this thing a one star. . .
I hate this product. I purchased this swing gleefully! I was sold on all of the bells and whistles! I rushed home and my BIL spent an hour putting it together. This toy totally struck out!

Strike one: My BIL placed his tiny underweight 5 month old baby in swing for test ride. While swinging baby lifted her arm to tug at the mobile and the swing nearly fell forward. Never mind the fact that she could reach the mobile!

Strike two: The MOTOR IS LOUD! VERY LOUD! My washing machine on the spin cycle is like a fluttering butterfly compared to this BEAST!

Strike three: THE Music is very annoying!

I returned this blasted thing after one day of use! I exchanged it for the Graco Papasan Swing. I couldn't be happier!

Great buy!! Love it!
We love the swing! The only real downfall is that it seems to swing very fast. Our baby is not yet here though so maybe once there is weight in it will slow down a little. Right now the only setting that seems acceptable is the lowest one. Oh yeah, and one other thing that would make it better would be a plug in cord... of course we knew it didn't have one when we got it.

Fantastic swing
This is a great swing. Its the perfect antidote to a fussy baby. And the amazon price is fantastic, especially with free shipping. This is the one baby product where we definitely got our money's worth.

Papasan Swing
Great Product. Easy to put together. I love the look of this swing. We haven't used it yet, but I am sure we will be using it quite often with our new little guys recent arrival.

Cozy infant swing
My son loves this swing. I was going to get the rainforest collection swing also by fisher price-but Mikey's dad wanted to get this one so I gave in. It's worth it-I just hate that he is going to outgrow it soon. I don't use the netting but my baby loves to look up at the lights.
