Napping in the swing at 4.5 months

My son sleeps in his bed at night like a champ.  I start breast feeding him about 8pm and he is sound asleep in his bed by 9:30 and sleeps till 4 or 5 then back to sleep till 8:30am.  

 During the day we have a wake/eat/play 3hr schedule.  I put him in the swing when he gets tired about 2 or 2.5hrs after eating.  He goes to sleep in a bout 5 to 10 min and stays asleep about 30 mins.  He has about 3 naps a day.  When I try to rock him and lay him down as soon as I lay him down he is wide awake.  How can I get him to nap on the floor or his crib or anywhere other than the swing? Help!

TIA

    My son used to take all of his naps in his swing. Now that's rare. What helped us in transitioning him was psuedo-swaddling him (not the full-on halo swaddle sack but wrapping him in a swaddle blanket). This helped him still feel "held in" like he was in the swing.
