    Product Description
    Baby takes a relaxing swing (side-to-side or front-to-back) as she watches plush rainforest friends in the mobile above play "peek-a-boo" among the leaves. While baby reclines in comfort, one of 12 different songs play, along with soothing nature sounds. And when baby's trip to the rainforest is over, the mobile swings away...until another day.

    Swing includes: six soothing swing speeds (with a plug-in option that can save you money on batteries) two-position reclining seat and 3-point restraint. Folds easily for storage. Requires 4 "D" (LR20) alkaline batteries not included. Measures 43"H x 36"W x 28"L.



    Amazon.com Product Description
    Perfect for fussy infants, the Fisher-Price Rainforest open-top cradle swing moves from side to side or front to back. Surrounded in comfort, baby watches as plush rainforest friends dance in a circle above the chair. Gentle nature sounds and one of 12 different songs will play as baby sits in complete comfort. The songs are either soothing for naptime or more upbeat for playtime. When baby's adventure in the rainforest is over, the swing easily folds up for convenient storage. Stylized for girls or boys, this brightly colored chair has six soothing swing speeds with a plug-in option to save battery space. The two-position reclining seat and infant head pillow keep baby comfortable and the three-point restraint keeps baby secure. This chair requires four LR20 alkaline D batteries (not included) and measures 43 by 36 by 28 inches (HxWxL).

    3 out of 5 stars Couple glitches but hey, it plugs in!   November 4, 2008

    Pros:
    AC adapter!

    Lift up mobile

    Multiple positions possible

    Recline position is great (just like the Fisher Price Aquarium Swing)

    Washable cover (pretty standard)

    Cons:

    Tray table- seriously just complete waste of plastic and space. Do people actual use those?

    Swing and power- here's the deal- what I have found is that every Fisher Price swing that we have owned stops when a blanket comes near the floor causing drag or when the baby starts to get heavier (15+ lbs). Your best bet is to start the swing manually and then turn on the dial. An oddity unique to this swing is that if the swing is not locked into one of the positions (which is not all the simplistic to do) then it will tilt the baby to one side.

    Unimpressive mobile- the Ocean Wonders has a much better mobile.

    All in all if FP would make the Ocean Wonders swing with an AC adapter it would be the better choice... but since that isn't happening this is the best that I've found simply due to the AC adapter alone.



    4 out of 5 stars Great Swing!   October 23, 2008

    Our first son had the Aquarium swing and loved it! I was hoping to get another one for our second son, but my husband came home with this Rainforest swing. At first, I didn't think my son would like it because it didn't have the glowing light ball from the Aquarium swing, but my son loves it! He is 4 months old now and is still captivated by the swing!

    We did have the crooked seat problem, but re-read the directions and the seat was fixed. The motor on this swing is great! Even on the slowest setting the swing is excellent. This swing is meant to be soothing, not an amusement ride. And, the A/C adapter is great! No more batteries to change!

    Overall, this is a great swing! I would have given it 5 stars, but the lowest sound level for the music is still a bit loud. Everything else is great! Just be sure to read the set up directions carefully!

    I was so excited when the swing arrived today in the mail. My 11 day old enjoys car rides, so he will hopefully like a swing! But then I spent thirty minutes assembling it to discover that 1) the motor is bad and 2) the seat tilts ~20 degrees to the right as mentioned by previous reviews. The swing has the same (slow) speed at all settings and clicks loudly. I'm returning it and buying a different swing.

    We bought this swing because of the ac adapter and also the music. We have had nothing but problems with it. After two weeks the music quit working, the swinging action sometimes worked. So we called Fisher Price and was sent a new mechanical part. Yet again the music has quit and the swing occasionally swings. I would look elsewhere for a different swing.
