We have the Fisher Price 3-in-1 (I think thats what its called?) Where you can actually take the seat out and use it as a stationary seat, or a rocker, as well as put it in the swing.
I RAVE about this swing. Actually, I saw a couple look at it and another swing, and I actually spent 10 minutes showing them the 3-in-1, and raving about it LOL! I *LOVE* it! It was pretty much the only way she would sleep during the for the first 6 months (except in my arms lol).
It takes batteries, but we used it every day and only had to change them a few times in 6 months, so it doesn't chew through them, its actually really good. I wanted a plug one as well, but the fact that we could take the seat out and use it as a rocker was GREAT, so we traded off the plug featured for that.
we have the rainforest cradle swing (has been replaced by the precious planets) and i could not rate it more highly. it has been a life-saver. i use it everyday- have used it for both kids. ds1 used to actually sleep in it, ds2 hasn't had a sleep in it yet but is happy to sit in it for an hour while i cook/clean. it's fantastic.
both my boys have only liked the side to side cradle motion, so i would definitely get the precious planets cradle one if i was going to buy one brand new. we got our rainforest one during a sale at toys r us.
Thanks everyone for your advice and help, you made my decision very easy! I pick up my new Fisher Price Precious Planet Cradle n Swing later this afternoon... can't wait! Fingers crossed she likes it and my back, arms and legs get a break!
We had the FP power plus swing.. Bella just loved it and would be asleep in minutes when I put her in it. I paid about $200 for it but just sold it on e-bay for $50 - lucky lady got a huge bargain cause it was in perfect condition.
