Fisher-Price i-Glide Cradle 'n Swing, Green Review

Fisher-Price i-Glide Cradle 'n Swing, Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This was purchased for our baby, who is due May 5th, back at Christmas time by Grandparents. It hadn't been released yet by Fisher Price so we just received it today. Even though I hadn't seen this in stores, I like new products and am easily swayed by new "features"! My 10 year old daughter and I put it together. It was easy enough as long as you follow the directions. The seat is a nice soft micro plush fabric and will be easy to take off and put on for washing. I really like that this product swings and glides and you can turn the seat to either cradle or swing. The "gliding" is actually just moving back and forth without a swinging motion. Still it's a nice feature as you don't know what your particular baby will be happy with. LOVE that this swing plugs into the wall (though you can put batteries in it if you want) !! That was actually the main feature that drew me to this swing. Hated the old swings that ate batteries. I also like the head support as well. Oh and the songs and nature sounds are awesome and the volume control great! Plus the foot buttons are really great too. So here are the drawbacks that made this swing only earn 4 vs. 5 stars: first is that the seat sits quite low. While I know most swings do sit low, I thought this one was a bit higher. I am 5'7" and will be bending down quite a bit to put the baby in. The "seat recline" is really two options, really reclined or reclined and that's it. I found there is really not much difference between the two options. But my biggest complaint is the mobile. Though really cute and I love that the bottom is a mirror for baby to look at, it doesn't move at all. The butterflies are plastic and I guess the baby could bat at them. It's quite low to the seat and is really in the way when it comes to putting baby in and out. There is no way to swing it out of the way so you'll have to tip baby head down a bit to put in under the mobile and into seat while bending down. It's annoying but I still really like this swing and would recommend it. It is ALMOST the perfect swing!

Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing Review

Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I will agree with the previous reviewer that the assembly instructions leave a bit to be desired. In particular:
1. The infant seat legs can be installed backwards (and it looks like it would take a screwdriver plus a lot of elbow grease to ease the locking "tabs" back out to separate the parts again -- I was lucky and guessed right the first time)
2. There's some white foam wrapped around the inner support bars of the seat frame that have a "do not cut" sticker on them. That does NOT mean "find some other way to remove this packing material besides cutting it off".. those styrofoam pads are supposed to STAY on the bars (as cushioning since they are right next to the baby under the seat material), so DO NOT REMOVE THEM at all. The tubes are white (i.e. don't match the rest of the swing) which makes it look as if they don't belong in the assembled product at first, so it would be easy to mistakenly rip them off in the initial frenzy of unpacking.
3. Yes, the mobile plug has 3 prongs and the socket has 4, but push firmly and everything snaps together fine. The mismatch prevents the mobile from ever coming back out. Fortunately, you can't accidentally install this part backwards. :-)
As for the swing itself, it's great! I didn't think we'd really use the removable infant-seat feature, but it comes in really handy: when kiddo has a wet diaper, I can just pick up the entire chair off the swing (with baby strapped into it), walk to the room with the changing table, and put him down while prepping the wipes and new diaper. The built-in, foldover blankets are a nice touch. The "Zen" music is just new-agey versions of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and a few classic pieces, but is still less jarring than standard baby-gear music.
Switching the swing direction from side-to-side to fore-aft direction is best done by picking up the infant seat out of the socket, rotating it, and then reseating it. It is possible to rotate the chair without picking it up, but it takes a fair amount of force and would be quite jarring to any child who was actually seated in the chair during that operation.
The swinging action is smooth and quiet. There's just the tiniest bit of sway in the frame itself with each swing because of the slight gap between the legs and the sockets in the motor housing where they snap in. It doesn't bother me (i.e. there's no accompanying rattling noise and the swing is still rock-solid), and could probably easily be remedied by shimming the gap with some paper.
The mobile doesn't move on its own. And the stripe pattern on the parasols is not reproduced on the bottom which seems a bit silly to me. (i.e. you and I see a high-contrast pattern from the top, but the baby just sees a uniform brown disc of plastic from beneath -- whose visual acuity is supposed to be stimulated here anyway?) It is nice that the mobile swings out of the way. Getting the baby in and out of the swing is a breeze.
Overall, very happy with this purchase. The design, materials and operation are solid. I withhold one star because the assembly instructions really don't cut it.

this is a beautiful cradle! i'm not due for another 3 weeks but so far it's lovely. there were a couple of knicks in the wood but very small. they could have used a more appealing color for the plastic locking handle for a better aesthetic. the instructions were ok & i put it together w/in 30 min. the bottom flat board was a little tight getting it in & i needed a little help with that part. overall, very nice & i cannot wait to use!

GLIDING CRADLE - FLAT SLAT VERSION Review

GLIDING CRADLE - FLAT SLAT VERSION
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I decided to breast-feed my baby and thus wanted him to sleep next to our bed. However our bedroom is small and would not easily fit a full size crib next to the bed. So I decided to shop for a smaller but sturdy crib that can fit to a smaller space.
I went to some stores and saw some similar items. Then I decided to get this cradle from amazon and I don't regret my decision.
Pros:
1) It is made of solid wood and it was packaged well. It came to us in perfect condition with no scratches or chips.
2) It glides/swings easier than the ones I have seen in stores.
3) It is a nice size, not too big not too small, I am planning to keep my son sleeping on it until he is a year old.
4) You can lock it if you don't want it to glide.
5) I am sure my son will love to use it as a gliding chair when he is a little older.
6) It was easy to assemble, it took us about 20 minutes to put it together.
7) The confirmation page indicated that the package would be recived about 7-9 days after the order date however it reached us within 3 days.
Cons:
1) The pad that comes with the cradle may not be your favourite. You may wanna buy a better one while buying sheets.
In summary, I recommend this cradle and we are happy that we bought it.

Nursing Stool Cherry Review

The quality and finish on the stool is great. We really like the way it looks in our baby's room. We use it with a glider because a friend recommend a stool like this over the expensive gliding ottoman. I think it was a good choice and saved us some money. My wife's only complaint about the stool is that it is a little slippery when she is wearing socks.

LA Baby Gliding Cradle with Day Bed Review

Average Reviews:

Easy to assemble, looks good, but the locking pins don't fit well, so it will still wobble even with the pins in. For the money, it's hard to top, but you get what you pay for. Best attribute is the simple, white, unadorned appearance and decent construction. We had to send our first one back and re-order though, as one of the pieces was missing, making it impossible to assemble. So, we paid $40 extra in shipping return costs by the time we received the second one.

I bought this bedding for my daughter's nusery. It is so cute. I was unsure about the blue accents at first, but they are very subtle and are not too boyish like I thought. The only thing I did not like was the wall hangings. They are supposed to be heart shaped. The ones we got are all 3 different shapes, none of which is even close to a heart. I would recommend this product, even with the odd shaped hangings.

We love this cradle. It is absolutely the best purchase we made for the baby. It provides him with a safe portable place to sleep that is similar to his crib for an easy transition later! Also, because it holds up to 30 pounds, we are able to use it longer than most other cradles and bassinets. We are so happy with it, we are buying a second one to keep at the grandparent's house for visits!

Suede Glider Rocker Recliner - Green Review

Suede Glider Rocker Recliner - Green
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This chair is poorly made. Out of the box, the fabric is puckering at the seams down the front of the arms. The front panel of the seat cushion is not evenly sewn, which makes the cushion rise up more in one area of the front, rather than be even across. The fabric is cheap and smelly. The suede has an odd pile - the seat cushion is much higher pile than the seat back, making it look almost two different colors. I do not know how they got this chair to look so good in the photo - must have been a lot of photoshop. Also, the color is a brighter green than it appeared on my monitor, but I am not taking stars off for that as that is typical with internet shopping. The description is inaccurate - there is no gliding mechanism, only rocking and reclining. I thought for the high price tag that I would be getting quality construction. Now I am stuck - don't buy this chair.

Fisher-Price Zen Collection Gliding Bassinet Review

Fisher-Price Zen Collection Gliding Bassinet
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I chose to buy this after doing a lot of research and reading a lot of reviews on various sites. Unfortunately, I found a lot of reviews seem to gloss over the important to know flaws and focus on the not so important stuff. As a mom of three awaiting my fourth, I have been around the baby product block MANY a time. The reviews I've read seem to make light of the noticable functionality flaws and make this product seem like a better buy than it really is, no offense intended to other reviewers, just my opinon.
Positives:
1) Nice looking overall; fabric is not cheap, well put together (see cons as well)
2) Gliding motion works ok and the music is quite nice (see cons as well)
3) A sturdy product, you don't worry about it falling apart with baby in it
4) An ok price for a FULL size, BIG bassinet, especially with free shipping. If it goes on sale for cheaper after you purchase it contact customer service for a price adjustment...Amazon is notorious for doing this! (see cons as well)
5) Large size is great for larger babies (like mine) who tend to outgrow smaller, more portable size bassinets quickly.
Negatives:
1) (As another commenter mentioned) The sounds play only for a pre-set time, then you have to hit the button again, a remote would have been a good idea.
2) The gliding motion while it does glide, is a bit noisy and a little less than smooth for my comfort level.
3) The colors overall are misrepresented in the picture. The legs appear black and some of the fabric appear a yellowish color. In actuality the fabric is a lime-ish green and all metal is brown and wood almost a cherry/ brown.
4) This is a very big and heavy bassinet. Measure your space before buying and compare to the measurements listed. It is not one you will want to bring up and downstairs but rather leave in one place.
5) While it has wheels to roll it around on one side of the legs, they don't work very well and the legs scratched my laminate floor.
6) The mattress was my breaking point...it is stiff, thin and hard. The included sheet is scratchy even after washing. I would most likely have purchased one of those foam inserts that help with flat head syndrome as I don't feel this mattress is at all adequate. Anyone who says the mattress is good, comfortable or adequate...OY!? A serious oversight by Fisher-Price!
7) The fabrics do not come off easily in any respects. You will spend a lot of time unscrewing fabrics from the frame if you get anything on them and aren't happy with just wiping the stains with a cloth (think spit up, poop explosions, pet hair, dustiness etc.)
Overall ok, but just like in the past with other Fisher-Price products (and as I said, this is my fourth baby and have been through MANY a product change), I am certain they will fix these issues and come up with an overall better product.
I sold this bassinet privately to someone who was a little more happy with it than I was, and they got to see it in person/measure it and their space before buying it. I purchased something else; a large cradle by Green Tree Frog designs that came with a real Sealy mattress and gorgeous accessories, that I love for a similar price on sale.
Hope this helps...

I really like this stool. I had a gliding ottoman previously, and felt like it was always rocking away from me. My friend has this same stool, and I liked it much better! It provided a good place to put your feet, and is of good quality for the price. I will most likely purchase a second one to keep in the living room when another baby comes. Please note that some of the star questions don't apply because they categorized this as a "toy"...I do give it 5 stars overall, however.

I decided against a glider since they are all pretty ugly and then last minute got this one. I love it. It is super comfortable and wonderful even while in late pregnancy. Glide is very smooth. The look it a teeny bit more contemporary so that is good. Not so old fashioned. Only complaint is that the material is really cheap and not very nice. However, for the amount of money I paid I am okay with it. Good value for certain. It came in a lot of parts which annoyed my husband but he seemed able to assemble it within 1 hour.
