Fisher-Price Cradle 'n Swing: My Little Snugabunny (V0099) $99 + Free Shipping

The swing is very good for the first 3-4 months. After daily use, the swing start to develop noise from the metals. When the swing is in motion, the legs tend to sway along and create friction noise over time. Sometimes, I had to adjust/shift the legs to eliminate the noise. Overall, it's a good buy for 99$. I paid almost retail at amazon.

the baby doesnt want to sleep in the swing since she was 6 months. If I had to do it over again, I would've gotten this:

or a mamaroo

......

just incase anyone wants the swing and bouncer I posted a deal on the my little snuggamonkey set for $140ish + tax at target.

I bought this at the beginning of the month for our newborn for almost $40 more. I can't speak for long-term durability, but it's absolutely essential on those rare occasions when nothing else will calm her. It's been a godsend really.

I ordered site to store, then leveled with the clerk and told them that I'd prefer a pricematch. They confirmed the UPC on my old receipt matched the item, and gave the credit. Thanks OP!

My kid loves this thing and I would recommend it. The music stopping would be an annoyance if my kid actually woke up after it stopped.

5 months in and thing is still working great.

Instead of this model, we got the butterfly and lights one (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Fisher-...y/13227369). The prices on these vary almost daily, but the snugga and all the other flavors are usually $99 every other week or so. It's WalMart - they vary prices daily on many items.

The music on this one loops over and over (at least for the hour I had it on), although it intermixes with animal sounds (crickets and whatnot). As a side note, the lights are far brighter than I thought, and I might reconsider getting them, if I stumble on a time machine.

As others have mentioned, the motors on these are not the greatest. I miss the old spring-crank ones my children had vs these battery powered ones for my grandchildren. Only 2 weeks in and I swear the motor is swinging less forcefully. It is really slow to start, although it has been from the get-go.

On a positive note, this thing is rock-solid stable and very hard to tip over without doing it on purpose. The seat, especially the bunny one, is really really padded and has to be crazy comfortable. They also are easily removable for cleaning. The multiple positions (it's really only 2, the third is simply a reverse of the first) are impressive. Great for our little granddaughter who sometimes wants to rock side to side and sometimes front to back.

Mixed review on the motor - looks like a lot of people are saying the motor goes dead with light-moderate usage after 3-6 months. But a lot of people are also saying this is a life-saver when you need to be hands-free for a few hours.... Any experiences anyone care to share?

I bought this for my 1st baby in 2011 and would HIGHLY recommend it. My son loved it! Great features--it swings from side to side or you can turn it and swing it front to back, it has a mobile, it plays music/sound effects, and it has a mirror which my son really enjoyed. I had no problems with it, it was easy to assemble, and at the time I paid about $160 so this is a great deal. We plan on using it again in the future with our 2nd baby

Just paid $155 at Target for this, but it came with the bouncer. Haven't had it out of the box yet. Heck, the baby isn't even born yet lol.

If you want the bouncer the target combo is cheaper if you can get them to add the 10% off code. ymmv on that. Still roughtly the same price though with the combo and no Q

We had motor problems so we just called the Fisher Price customer service and they sent us a new motor house... free.

It clearly states in the directions that you should give the swing a push before turning on the motor - yet even I see comments and replies which say that "sometimes I push it manually."

This is the reason for the motor "problem" - customer misuse. Not poor quality. The motor is strong enough to maintain the swing so long as you prime it first with an initial push. Mine has lasted with no problems, with heavy babies! I wouldn't hesitate to get this - although they quickly out grow it, it's invaluable for those first weeks. This price is the lowest I've seen.

Oooo It's in the manual? But who reads manual nowadays.
We didn't even know the seat was adjustable, hubby found that accidentally when our baby was around 2-3 months

Quote from tumadreconcaso : Hope wife and I get a good nights sleep tonight... last night we were up at 1130-1230, 145-230, 4-5, 545-930 (I got the happy text from my wife when he fell asleep at 930 as I was already at work). .

Oh the good ol' days. I got my sanity back when she finally was able to sleep 4-5 hours straight when she's around 3 months old.
