baby gear question

Ok, probably not the best board to post this on, but not sure where else to post. I need to buy a new cradle swing for the baby on the way. We loved our old one, but gave it away after ds#2 outgrew it. We thought we were done growing our family, but this baby had other plans. Anyhow, the swing we loved is no longer being made. I even tried second hand stores hoping I'd run into another one. No such luck. So I'm shopping for a new one.  I saw one on Walmart's website that looks ok, but it's a Fisher Price. I've heard Fisher Price swings have bad motors. Is this true? Anyone have opinions or recommendations for a cradle swing? Just don't want anything too big and bulky and something super sturdy. I'm sure my 17 month old chunky monkey will try to mount it at one point or another. Don't want it to tip over on top of him. Here is a link to the swing I saw... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fisher-Price-Nite-Nite-Monkey-Papasan-Cradle-Swing/21975850?findingMethod=rr#Specifications

I have a Fisher Price and have used it for three kids and intend on using it for this one and it's never given me any issues.

It has really good reviews from the link you posted so I would go for it.  You might try posting this same question on the Nurseries and Baby Gear board and see if anyone has used that specific swing.

I have a FP papasan swing for my first and I am going to use it for this baby too.
