Fisher-Price Cradle 'n Swing, Scatterbug

 (10 customer reviews)

I love this swing. I originally wanted a swing that would turn into a toddler rocking chair but the only ones I could find were at least $50 more than this swing. I can just wait and buy a rocking chair when he is a toddler with the money I saved. He is three weeks old and already loves the swing. It plays neat sounds and has several speeds. We are going slow right now. The bugs are so cute!! The toys are a little high but they are cute and sway with the movement of the swing. The baby seems to like the nature sounds.

Bought this to replace "nature's touch" cradle swing (inner mechanism that makes swing move broke) ... my son is ~15 lbs and the swing won't even move him ... two sets of fresh batteries didn't help ... thought I'd buy the slightly cheaper swing as he doesn't spend too much time in one anymore ... next time I'll just spend the $

We purchased the Cradle'n'Swing Scatterbug in January for our second child. The swings we had for our older one where hand-me-downs and the motors had run out on both of them. One of the reasons I picked this swing over the others was because it had the multi-position feature that our daughter loved at daycare but we didn't have at home the first time. I also picked this one because it was slightly less expensive and didn't have a head rest as my kids tend to have big heads and I didn't want our son to grow out of it as quickly as our daughter did with her swings.

What I like:
The multi-positioning, the various speeds, the sounds (occassionally), the durability(stands up to a 2-year-old stopping it to give baby kisses in mid swing on a regular basis), it sooths our baby right to sleep and is used several times a day. The recline position. After having a baby with reflux, I like the position of the seat on this swing and it seems to help this time around. It's neutral...Read more
