This review is from: Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing (Baby Product)
My wife and I just retired our Ocean Wonders swing now that our son has outgrown it and I think that we all felt that it was tough to see it go back into the box. We found that a swing is invaluable for a baby for several reasons: 1. The swing really soothed our son and helped him fall asleep and establish a daily nap schedule. 2. Sometimes you need to restrain your little one while you do something frivolous for yourself like, oh I don't know - eat. But if he or she isn't strong enough to sit in a pack n play, then a swing fits the bill well. 3. If the swing has a mobile or some other point of interest attached, then your baby can begin learning to focus on, follow and reach for objects while playing in the swing. So now that we've established that a swing is mandatory baby gear, how does the Ocean Wonders rate? Very well except for a few minor points. PROS * Very sturdy and durable * Really good activities above and in... Read more 203 of 208 people found the following review helpful:

We received this swing as a gift when we were having our first and now that we are preparing for our second I remember how much I love this swing (and my daughter did too). The side to side (cradle) motion on this swing was a lifesaver as my baby never cared to swing forward and back. I did not like the music and therefore rarely used it but my daughter found the sound of the motor (a swooshing like sound) to be very soothing white noise. I did occasionally turn on the mobile as my daughter grew and she loved that. This is a very sturdy swing, cleans very well, and I liked the adjustable seat. Buy this swing with confidence, you (and your baby) will not be sorry! 51 of 56 people found the following review helpful:

Please read this review before you purchase or register for this swing. I really wish I would have known more about baby gear when I registered. First of all, this swing was a lifesaver the first 3 months of my son's life. If I had written this review back then, I would haven given it 5 stars. What really disappoints me, is that my son is a big baby. He is over 20 lbs now at 5 months old. He would love to continue using this swing, but it looks like it's going to fall apart now when he is in it. Going back and looking at the weight limit, it's only good for up to 25 lb babies. So here I have a 5 month old baby, that still needs to be swinging and no swing safe/strong enough to hold him. I recently purchased the Fisher Price Smart Stages 3 in 1 swing (Tightrope print) and love it. It goes up to 40 lbs and I wish I would have started off with it from the beginning. It would have saved us $100. Before you register, think of how long you would like your baby gear to last. I was... Read more |
