whats a good baby swing?

Question

I have heard that open top baby swings are best. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a safe, comforting swing for my little one? 


also, there is always a box with a red X in it on the left hand side of my posts... I'm sure sure if it will show up this time or not - probably wil!! Any idea how to fix this?

Wow!!  I didn't know it got recalled!!  I just read all the posts.  I don't know why though....I really like mine and have had NO problems with it!!

I sent you a really long post and then the stupid thing said there was an error, so I'm going to try again....I have a Rain Forest swing by Fisher Price.  It is awesome.  It goes back and forth or side to side.  It plays music and has a mobil.  It also reclines and has many different levels to recline.  It is very comfy!!  Wish they had them in my size!!  LOL!  The best part.....It takes batteries OR plugs into the wall!!!  I cannot tell you how much money we save on batteries.  I had a Graco one already (that takes batteries), but it takes like 4 D size batteries at a time.  If your baby spends a lot of time in his/her swing, (as does mine), it can get really expensive.  I STRONGLY recommend it.  It's like $120 but like I said, I save so much in batteries, so to me, it was worth the extra money.

thanks alright :) I'm looking on fisher price right now, and some of these baby swings look pretty inviting! I almost wish they made them in an adult size lol

Make sure there is a reclining feature, definitely, if you want to use it with a newborn! I would do a search for you, but my Internet Explorer is acting up and it takes like 10 minutes for the window to work. ??? Crazy, I know!

ok I'll try those.. the one I bought got recalled so Im gonna take it back, it was a fisher price "rainforest open top take along swing". Is there one in particular that worked really well for a newborn?

I think only the poster can see that red X. I think it means you can cancel your post.

I like the swings that can rock back-and-forth, or side-to-side. And a battery-operated one is a must! Who wants a noisy crank to turn in order for it to work?!?!?! Fisher-Price has a lot of really good swings!
