There is a baby sale coming up on base, and I'm hoping to get some good deals on things that we never had for DS. We borrowed a swing for a few weeks, but then DS didn't like that. I never got anything else because there was no space when I lived with my parents. I'd really like to have somewhere to put Baby Girl (besides the RnP) to entertain her when I need to give attention to DS.
So....swings, bouncers, stuff like that: what did you have? What features were good? What features were worthless? What products were you able to use the longest?
I feel like a FTM on this one - no idea what to get. Also, on the electric stuff, how often do you have to replace batteries, and is it really better to try to find something that plugs in?
These are the specific products they have listed in the sales ad, but will have others on sale (mostly older stuff....it takes them awhile to get the new stuff).

Re: baby gear for #2 - longish
And this
Loved both
I cannot say enough wonderful things about the FP Snugabunny cradle swing. It was, hands down, the best piece of baby gear that we got when DD was a newborn. She loved it! And it saved DH and I from nearly dying of utter exhaustion, s
Both boys LOVED the swing. It was worth every penny and we don't even have one that's super deluxe.

OMG tiny baby! How sweet!
OMG, I'm going to have one of t
crazy4mas and Rachey, it looks like they have the ones (or similar ones) that you suggested, too, so I'll definitely look at those some more.

A swing is a must! Both of my children hated it the first couple weeks but it grew on them. DD has been so congested she will only sleep in the swing.
Unlike the others however I would not recommend the lamb or bunny swing. With DD we've gone thr
