    The Zen Collection Cradle Swing from Fisher Price offers a variety of ways to comfort and soothe infants. And with its lovely, contemporary design, it's designed to integrate nicely into your home's interior. The swing is built for infants up to 25 pounds who cannot yet sit unassisted.

    A Secure and Soothing Place for Your Infant
    Yes, it's lovely to hold and cradle an infant in your arms -- but even the most dedicated parents need to put the baby down and take a break! This is why we love the idea of a baby swing; we've seen how they provide a comfortable, safe place for an infant, with soothing, rocking motions to help maintain a very important sense of security and calm. If you're familiar with older models of baby swings -- with their creaky mechanical noises and uncomfortable seats -- you should know that the Zen Collection swing definitely takes baby swings to another level.

    The swing's seat is designed for infants who cannot yet sit unassisted. Its basket shape provides security and support for the youngest babies, and it can be adjusted to sit the baby up or recline down. A plush seat cover, padded head support, and built-in cover keep baby comfortable. The swing seat can be positioned to move back and forth or from side to side, and it has a speed-control dial to allow for a variety of graduated speed settings. The swing is powered by battery or can be plugged in with the included adapter. It moves in a smooth, quiet motion with minimal mechanical noise. While baby is swinging, he can listen to one of 14 different soothing sounds with adjustable volume, including Muzak-esque remixes of classical favorites and unobtrusive nature sounds, like chirping birds and babbling brooks.

    Knowing parents will especially appreciate that the baby seat is removable and portable. So once baby falls asleep in the swing, you don't have to disturb him by removing him from the seat. Just lift the seat out of the swing to carry him with you to different rooms in your home.

    It's So Lovely!
    A baby swing is not small -- it's basically a piece of furniture. So we're delighted to find that the Zen Collection swing offers a contemporary and sophisticated palette that can complement your home's decor without making your house look like one big nursery. You won't find any frills or pastel colors here. Its contemporary pattern features sprays of leaves and dragonfly silhouettes in stylish tones of cream, chocolate brown, and moss green with ruby-red accents.

    Its lovely textural touches include wood-finished handles, satin accents, and embroidered detailing on the cover, as well as on the mobile toys, which are cute and stylish. The toys include two plush dragonflies and a plush turtle, topped with matching umbrellas. It stands on a sturdy, dark brown, metal frame that's heavy enough to provide good support and security. Not only is this swing good looking, it also makes a great choice for unisex decorating.

    Easy Assembly, Sturdy Construction
    The swing took us less than half an hour to assemble and required only a Phillips screwdriver. One minor problem: we had to re-thread the mobile so it could hang properly. The assembled swing has a 26-by-33-inch footprint and stands 47 inches tall with the mobile attached, so it takes up quite a bit of room. This is something to consider if you have limited living space. However, the base folds together easily, so you can lean it against a wall when it's not in use.

    What's in the Box
    Removable infant seat, mobile, swing motor, swing frame components for assembly.

    4 out of 5 stars I love it!!!   October 3, 2008
    Nicky (Alabama)
    I love this swing! I like that it has an AC adapter and that you can use batteries. The seat is very handy. My 6 week old son seems to like it too! I just wish they made in for adults!!!


    5 out of 5 stars THE BEST   September 26, 2008
    Misty Anderson (Iowa)
    This swing is even more beautiful in person! I have not seen another like it. Very sleek, mod, contemporary look. We have this set up in our living room. Music is wonderful, friends & family that have seen it have made the comment that they wouldn't mind coming over to nap at our house with the soothing music! We love that we can use batteries OR that it can be plugged in to an outlet. Save buying batteries! The front to back or side to side swinging motion is wonderful. I love that you can remove the whole seat once baby has fallen asleep and move it to another room with you. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

    The directions do not show the strap while assembling this swing -- it goes in the BACK. Much less hassle if you don't have to try and rub out the warnings with acetone later if you snap it in wrong. Easy to put together too. I did it myself at 35 weeks.



    5 out of 5 stars Phenomenal Swing!   September 23, 2008

    I am so glad that we spent the extra money and bought this swing. I put this swing together in about 30 min while I was 35 weeks pregnant and on modified bed rest. It was a cinch, and the directions were self explanatory. I never had the slightest problem.

    The design and color of this swing is a perfect match for our homes decor and paint. The swing itself feels sturdy and comfortable. The cover comes off easily to wash and the mobile is just enough to keep baby entertained but not restrict the view for him to look else where and for us to see him. The seat comes off so easily and turns directions without any effort. It is so easy to place the seat back on the swing, no need to jostle baby around. I was very pleasantly surprised how high the seat actually sits up off the floor when not on the swing. It is almost chair or couch height which is perfect. It is also good if you have pets walking around. All in all we are so pleased with this swing. If I had to pick one thing that would make it better, would be the music is a little low at full volume, but considering the rest of the perks. I can live with that.

    We love this swing. It is the only place our daughter will take a nap. It moves easily from room to room. The rotational seat is also a big hit. Some days she likes the side to side swinging motion and other days the front to back. The A/C adapter is excellent. The last swing we had for our son ate up batteries.

    My daughter loves this swing! I like it because it has two different swinging motions (side to side and front to back). Has both electrical cord and battery options for power. The only bad thing is the base is big. Make sure you have a big area!
