Re: What is the best swing out there?
We got the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing
It swings front-to-back as well as side-to-side. Both our DC loved the side-to-side motion. The supporting legs are also very far away from the cradle, so no chance of getting any arms caught, especially in the sideways motion.
It also went well with our DS fish/dolphin theme. DD has a butterfly theme, but she's too young to realize that it doesn't match...

We've had a fantastic experience with this swing as well. We have one at our house and MIL's house and Michael just loves it. We are definitley going to have some issues when he grows out of it

Re: What is the best swing out there?
We registered for, and really wanted, the FP Ocean Wonders swing mentioned above because we heard it was the best. But, it has been impossible to find! BRU has been "out of stock" for months, and BBB doesn't carry it. So, we ended up buying the Fisher Price Power Plus swing - it is attractive, has 6 speeds and 10 songs, but only swings front to back. The good thing about it is that it has the option to plug it in, because batteries run out fast. My DC likes it so far, but it's only been one day!

Re: What is the best swing out there?
We've got the Papasan one and live by it, it's fantastic, but really it and the ocean wonders are the same swing just two different themes. We just didn't want the colors of the aquarium one in our living room, we wanted something more neutral to try to go with the decor of the house.

That's the only downside of the swing we have.... if it could plug in, it would be perfect. The batteries do last quite a while, though, so it isn't too bad.

same reason why we bough the papsan as well...because it goes with the decor of our living room...

Wow that is awesome. My baby gear buying days are done since this is our last baby but I think that is such a great feature. I have a plug right near my sons swing and would love to be using it that way instead of a 4 pack of D batteries every other week.

Re: What is the best swing out there?
The reviews say the rainforest one barely swings with your child in it, is this true?

We have this one too and DD LOVES it. It's the only thing she'll go in other than my arms during the day. I tried to get the Ocean's one but it is discontinued, which is why it's so hard to find. We bought the new version of it, the Rain Forest but it didn't swing fast enough and she would cry. The Papasan has been the best for us. Def get one that also swings side to side.

I second the FP baby Papasan! DD slept in it ALL the time for her naps. The day we retired that swing was a very rough day at our house!

We have the Rainforest one too and had to return the first one we got because the speed didn't seem to change at all. The new one seems fine and DD absolutely loves it. It is a godsend for me!! She loves watching the animals go around and we love that it plugs in. I can't imagine how many batteries we would have gone through by now.
