We have a rocker and a swing, the swing has been loaned to us from friends, we have used it a few times but usually only for short periods. Bub has slept in the rocker quite a few times. The other night we left him in it and he slept for about 5 hours, just like he usually does in the cot. Our rocker is very 'basic', it is just a rocker, it doesn't vibrate or have a toy bar or sun hood. I figured a sun hood wasn't necessary for us though as by the time I need it outside in summer/warmer weather bub will be too big. I have put him in it uickly on a nice day when getting in the washing and I just put him in the shade. I preferred the rocker we bought, the colours went better in the lounge room (camel and chocolate colour), shame about everything else baby in there. I also thought htat if we needed a toy bar we could add it on. It was only $39 from Babyco. We were given a 'tummy time together' electric thing, I stand it up and put it over the rocker occassionally. Mainly we use the rocker for him to settle. We use it a lot when we are eating.
