Review by J. Hytree for Rating: This was purchased for our baby, who is due May 5th, back at Christmas time by Grandparents. It hadn't been resleaed yet by Fisher Price so we just received it today. Even though I hadn't seen this in stores, I like new products and am easily swayed by new features ! My 10 year old daughter and I put it together. It was easy enough as long as you follow the directions. The seat is a nice soft micro plush fabric and will be easy to take off and put on for washing. I really like that this product swings and glides and you can turn the seat to either cradle or swing. The gliding is actually just moving back and forth without a swinging motion. Still it's a nice feature as you don't know what your particular baby will be happy with. LOVE that this swing plugs into the wall (though you can put batteries in it if you want) !! That was actually the main feature that drew me to this swing. Hated the old swings that ate batteries. I also like the head support as well. Oh and the songs and nature sounds are awesome and the volume control great! Plus the foot buttons are really great too. So here are the drawbacks that made this swing only earn 4 vs. 5 stars: first is that the seat sits quite low. While I know most swings do sit low, I thought this one was a bit higher. I am 5'7 and will be bending down quite a bit to put the baby in. The seat recline is really two options, really reclined or reclined and that's it. I found there is really not much difference between the two options. But my biggest complaint is the mobile. Though really cute and I love that the bottom is a mirror for baby to look at, it doesn't move at all. The butterflies are plastic and I guess the baby could bat at them. It's quite low to the seat and is really in the way when it comes to putting baby in and out. There is no way to swing it out of the way so you'll have to tip baby head down a bit to put in under the mobile and into seat while bending down. It's annoying but I still really like this swing and would recommend it. It is ALMOST the perfect swing!
