    Recommendations for baby rocker/swing

    Some of the swings look abit flimsy to me, I'm sure DS or another child could accidentally push it over. Some of them get bad raps on product review website for various reasons and I'd Like one that would last awhile. DS used to go in a fisher price glider and I found it great to cook dinner and shower for short spaces of time. It is broken and there is a different one on the market now. Any suggestions would be really helpful!

    I have a second hand Maclaren rocker, got it for $50.

    It folds up so it's portable too, and can be taken apart to be washed.

    we had a fisher price i-glide swing for DD...

    it was either battery or power operated which was fantastic!

    was on a nice sturdy base, obviously if it was touched it moved but the base was pretty big so i dont think it would topple over very easliy.

    we were so happy with ours, DD loved it and used it every day until she was about 3 months when we started using her bouncer instead

    We just got the fisher price my lil lamb swing - looks pretty sturdy to me, it has a pretty wide base.

    I've bought the Fisherprice Take Along Swing for this bub. Tried it at a friends house when my eldest was a baby, seemed pretty sturdy and he liked it!

    we had a fisher price rainforest cradle swing and absolutely loved it. used it non stop for 2 kids. i think it has been replaced now by a different theme- but in my opinion, you can't go wrong with a fisher price cradle swing.

    we had the fisher price my little lamb cradle swing as well. the bonus of the cradle swing rang is they can swing side to side or back to front which was great as our bubba hated swinging back to front but would sleep for ages with the side to side movement. As long as the legs are played out to the maximum width it ids very stable...if you are worried about a toddler knocking back it up to a wall as they only way I could see it tipping is backwards and if it is up against a wall that aint gonna happen!

    Ive had 2 swings, we had a Fisher Price Flutterbye swing and now have Fisher Price Ocean Wonders swing, both I totally recommend ,they are both wonderful. The fluttebye has more of a sitting up seat than the ocean wonders one. They are sturdy and my 2 kids (3 and nearly 5) dont knock it over at all

    I have a fisher price little lamb as well.. I got mine given to me but they are bit pricey around the $250 mark. Very sturdy and great when you need a break or to do something for a little.
