The only difference I see between the $140 and $160 model is volume control. Is this feature worth asking relatives to spend 20 more dollars? Is there another difference I am not aware of? Does anyone know if the seats are the seats equally comfortable?
The only difference I see with the $180 model is again volume control and the ability to swing with/without music and music with/without swinging. Are there other differences I overlooked?
Which swing do you have?
Which swing would you choose?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I agree with PP - getting one that plugs in is critical!
I never cared much for any of the music - the sound it generally horrible no matter what, though the nature sounds were sometime OK.
I think any of the models would be fine so if it comes down to music then I'd buy the cheapest and invest the rest in speakers for your ipod. Download some good baby music (look for the Kenny Loggins lullaby one!) that you can take with you.
