Fisher-Price Rainforest Open Top Take-Along Swing

Reviewers don't recommend portable swings as often as their full-size counterparts, but the Fisher-Price Rainforest Open Top Take-Along Swing appears to be a good choice. Parents say it's reasonably reliable and effective at entertaining babies and getting them to fall asleep, but among parents who tried both this swing and the slightly more expensive Fisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along Swing (*Est. $70), most preferred the Aquarium swing. Some say the deeper seat is a better fit for babies, and with a few more toy and music options, their babies were less apt to get bored.

The book "Baby Bargains" doesn't cover many baby swings, but it does include a brief discussion of the Fisher-Price Rainforest Open Top Take-Along Swing. "Baby Bargains" reviews are backed by research, in-depth product knowledge and reader feedback. Owner-written reviews are also useful, especially because swing preference is quite subjective.
