Amazing gliding motion!
October 26, 2016
I received a Fisher-Price Blush Safari Cradle 'n Swing for free from Fisher-Price's Play.Rate.Review program in exchange for a honest review and this is my very own honest opinion. Thank you for this opportunity to review this pretty amazing swing. I've been using this product with my baby for a couple weeks to examine it thoroughly. My first impression of this swing was very positive simply because there was only a few pieces to assemble. Plus the instructions were very thorough and most of the pieces just clicked right together, there was literally one thing to screw in. That right there said a lot to me. As many parents know, a lot of baby things come in a thousand pieces with a huge instruction book to read and assemble. I love that it plugs right into the wall-no need for batteries! This is extremely convenient for me because the swing I had before took 4 D batteries and they hardly lasted a week! The cord even comes with 2 connections that are designed along the product leg and it disconnects where the metal poles connect and easily disconnects upon tripping over it (I just stumbled upon that info-pun intended) which prevents it from ripping out of the wall socket, making damage less likely to happen. However, my favorite feature of this swing has to be its gliding motion, my daughter loves it! It calculates her weight and it doesn't swing too fast or high and it doesn't make her stomach sick. I LOVE LOVE LOVE how easily it changes direction (3 ways). The head-to-toe motion keeps her happily awake and playful. The side-to-side motion helps her fall right to sleep. I can quickly change her from looking out the window, to looking at the room, to her looking directly at me without even a button or switch! Among that, it has two seating positions, a reclining position and a more upright position. It also has a bunch of settings, like 6 speeds, 16 songs and nature sounds (the waterfall puts my daughter right to sleep) and a cute elephant head cozy. It has a mobile that my now 6 month old loves to try to grab, and thankfully a 5 point harness to keep her secure while trying to reach the adorable elephants. There was a couple minor flaws that I encountered such as the seat position lever was hard to change both reclining and upright at first but became more smooth with use. However, the reclining position seems to have a hard time staying locked and therefore keeps her more upright than I'd like at times. After using for nearly a week, a low clicking sound occurs most of the time while swinging. While this doesn't actually affect the effectiveness of the swing, it does become kinda annoying. Another minor flaw is that a corner of the power button has stayed pressed like its caught or something. I can still use it, it's just a little annoying because I always have to press the left side of the power button. Overall, I absolutely love this swing (and so does the rest of the family that now can get a break). While I did encounter a few flaws, this swing is designed great, looks beautiful and is very effective at keeping my little one content. I have to say thank you again FP! You saved this mama from a lot of sleep deprived nights (and naps!).
