Im looking at the fisher price rainforest one because it has a plug in option...but some of the cons say staticy speakers and bulky...but arent all swings bulky!?
We have the FP lamb swing as well. We used the FP Nature's Papasan with DS and it was awesome. Sure, it eats batteries, but that wasn't a big deal considering.
this, based on the advice of many friends with babes.
ETA: i have heard repeatedly that it's well worth it to get a swing that swings in multiple directions -- some LOs really need/want/prefer the alternative swinging directions. just my $0.02!
I like the Rainforest one, I would not say its that bulky. I have a different one myself because I wanted a swing/bouncer combo. My friend has this one and it doesn't seem bulky to me at all.
We have the FP Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing (the cocoa/pink one), and yes its bulky.. but all cradle swings are, and we were determined to get one of the ones with both swinging options. Ours has a plug as well and DH was thrilled that we wouldn't have to mess with batteries.??
Graco Soothing Sweetpea center. ?Cannot talk enough about it. ?Its a bouncer and swing. ?Swings three ways, plays non annoying music and get this... PLAYS MUSIC FROM YOUR IPOD!!! ?It also plugs into the wall. ?No batteries. ?It's a bit on the expensive side but we are not buying a bouncer so we figure that with the bouncer/swing option its totally worth it.
?Plus its gender neutral and all the material comes off and its all machine washable. ?
I big puffy heart this thing. ??

EDIT:: ?This thing also reclines. ?:)?

Ditto this! This has been the best investment so far! LO will not sleep in the basinett so we just took the top of the swing off and set it in the basinett and if he gets cranky we just pick up the top and set it in the swing. You can also set Graco carseats on the swing base. LO LOVES LOVES LOVES this!! They are a little expensive but I got mine off of Craigslist for cheap!!
We had the fp aquarium swing with previous 2ds and needed to replace due to them loving it, so i just ordered the fp zen swing today! it is also a cradel swing but the seat comes off and is a bouncy chair thing oh and this swing plugs in. if you get one that doesn't plug in just get a battery charger with rechargable batteries....totally worth it!!
