The seat is large and round, and DD napped in it a lot (we didn't have a rock n play, and she slept in a flat bassinet - so this was great when she was a little stuffed up and needed to sleep slightly inclined.) </p> <p>Its is also battery powered or plugs in, so again we could have it anywhere. (I even put it in the bathroom so I could shower a few times!) </p> <p>I guess the only drawback is that it only swings in one direction - but DD never complained! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swing-bouncer-overwhelmed-by-reviews-and-information#post-2795646 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 14:56:09 +0000 Mrs D 2795646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Its kind of a guessing game until your meet your baby what they will/wont like. In a perfect world we'd all be able to take our newborns somewhere to try products out before we buy but thats not really possible.</p> <p>We bought the fisher price snug a bunny collection (bouncer, rnp and swing). I would say we could have done without the bouncer, but it was also the cheapest so I didnt mind that wasted investment.</p> <p>For us the best feature of the snug a bunny was that it plugged in (no batteries), played soft music, had a little birdie feature that rotated above their heads and was collapsable for transport.</p> <p>My only gripe was that it swung a bit too hard for my LOs at first, nothing a bag or two of dried beans couldnt slow down! :)</p> <p>It was worth every penny. Both of my girls loved it. They'd take 3 hour naps in it every day! :)</p> <p>Here is ours:https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Snugabunny-Cradle-Swing-Technology/dp/B01FF8H5Q8/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1515441312&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=snuggabunny%2Bswing&amp;th=1 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swing-bouncer-overwhelmed-by-reviews-and-information#post-2795644 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 14:49:07 +0000 agold 2795644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the third one you posted about. I never wanted a swing and tried every other smaller option. But I broke down and accepted a second hand swing identical to the third one you posted and it was a total game changer. There is a huge difference between the true swinging motion side to side and the from-the-bottom swinging motion. Anyhow... I found the swing to be safe and I'm going to use it again for #2. Not looking forward to it taking up so much floor space in my tiny home, but it truly was worth it in my opinion. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/swing-bouncer-overwhelmed-by-reviews-and-information#post-2795631 Mon, 08 Jan 2018 13:52:59 +0000 CC Mommy 2795631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reviews are overwhelming and I read one that mentioned their fisher price swing catching fire--which terrified me. </p> <p>Hoping you all have some favs or advice for choosing the safest/best option for the baby...</p> <p>I like this one, because it has a bassinet feature and allows you to connect your own music, etcetera--also, it has an AC adapter with it and multiple direction swing with detachable rocking features.<br /> <a href="https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=114491146" rel="nofollow">https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=114491146</a></p> <p>I like that this one has an AC Adapter and multiple directions/bouncer option:<br /> <a href="https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=119435406" rel="nofollow">https://www.toysrus.com/product?productId=119435406</a></p> <p>Just saw an HB mom post about this one:<br /> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AO084CW/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AO084CW/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&#038;psc=1</a> </p>
