Fisher-Price Zen Collection Cradle Swing Review

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.

GLIDING CRADLE - FLAT SLAT VERSION Review

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.

LA Baby Gliding Cradle with Day Bed Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer 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.

Suede Glider Rocker Recliner - Green Review

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

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...

Cassidy Glider Rocker and Ottoman Finish: Dark Brown Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Preston Glider Rocker and Ottoman Set - Tea/ Oatmeal Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Overall the glider chair is a good value. It was relatively easy to put together, has a good appearance, and operates relatively smoothly with the only exception of an almost imperceptable click as it glides back to the starting position. The chair is relatively lightweight and appears to be designed well. It was much less expensive online than similar products were priced in the stores that I visited. The only drawback was that the chair was lost during shipment and amazon had to reorder it for me, which they did immediately upon being notified of the shipping problem. I am happy with the purchase overall and would recommend the chair.

Bassettbaby Cape Cod Glider with Ottoman Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The doorbell rang, and I was home alone during a hideous rainstorm. UPS had delivered the chair, and the package was being drenched as the driver sprinted away ignoring my cry for help. The box was bigger than me, yet, 95-lb weakling that I am, I was able to drag it through the door. I was even able to easily get the chair pieces upstairs by myself, and within a half hour the chair was complete. Not being handy, I appreciated that this required minimal construction, just 6 easy steps. It actually took me longer to cut up all the cardboard packaging than it did to assemble the chair.
It's exactly as pictured, and the craftmanship is quite good, considering the price. Before ordering this, I visited Target to see their glider in person, and I think this is better made. The dimensions (accurately represented on Amazon) are perfect for a petite person like me. For me, the back cushion feels better placed upside down, so the thickest part is at the base. Looks a bit strange like that but I don't care because at 4' 11" it's hard to get a chair that is comfortable. I also place a small pillow for extra cushioning at the back. One thing to watch out for if you are an expectant or new mother buying this for a nursery, it smells really toxic for the first few days, but then the odor dissipates. Suggest you have a friend or relative construct the chair in a part of the house where you aren't until the toxic cloud drifts away.
This wasn't purchased for a nursery, just a comfortable chair to watch movies in and read books. I bought the natural-finished model.

Shermag Cherry w/ Wheat Glider/Ottoman Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After much research and the advice of BabyBargains, we decided to go with a Shermag but this lower end version. However it is great. It took my husband about 20-30 minutes to put it together. It looks great and matches our nursery furniture perfectly. I wanted a higher back to rest my head while feeding the baby. This chair is perfect. I am 5'7 and my husband is 6'. He fits very comfortable. I wish the cushions came in differnt colors as I think this will be hard to keep clean with a baby, but I just covered it with a pretty blanket that will hopefully catch any spills. I think it make a great addition to a nursery. We have have ahad it for a few weeks, but our Baby is due in Feb. So far so good.

Stork Craft Hoop Glider and Ottoman, Natural/Green Chenille Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this chair in May 2010 right before my son was born. I bought it because it seemed like such a good price and it was the same color and brand as my changing table. Well first off we had a hard time putting it together because a couple of the assembly holes were drilled wrong and didn't match up. Luckily my husband is a handy guy and just drilled new holes to make it work. My biggest complaint is it squeaks! I have to oil it at least once a week. Of course it always starts squeaking when I am nursing and rocking my baby to sleep. I wish I would have spent more money for a better quality chair.

Dutailier Ultramotion Harvest Sleigh Multiposition and Recliner Glider Rocker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I looked everywhere for a glider that was both within my budget and really comfortable. I had fallen in love with another Dutailier model that was almost three times the price and ever since, have been wanting a glider that also reclines. This one fits the bill. It's comfortable, easy to assemble and reclines (and you can glide while reclining - not all models allow for that feature). It's not the most attractive chair, but most of the gliders are relatively ugly (IMO), though it's not the worst looking one I have seen either. You can definitely tell that it is on the low end of Dutailier's line: the cushions and fabric, while comfortable, feel somewhat cheap and get very hot (my back sweats if it's the least bit warm in the house), and the chair rocks more than it glides, which is not true of some of the more expensive models. Nevertheless, if you are not in the market for $1500 glider, this is a good choice.
My baby is now 4 months old and we still use this chair regularly and both my husband and I find it extremely comfortable.
