The Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing is a clear favorite with reviewers. The whole Fisher-Price Papasan series (available in three color choices) gets top marks from parents for the comfortable seat design and good sound quality (with 16 songs plus ambient sounds). One feature that sets this swing apart from cheaper models is that it can be set up to move back to front or side to side. That's especially helpful for parents whose babies have colic, who can sometimes be soothed with the side-to-side motion. Something to consider is that full-size swings can be cumbersome to move. If you plan on frequent trips or want a swing that moves easily from room to room, the Fisher-Price Aquarium Take-Along Swing (*Est. $70) gets better reviews than any other portable baby swing.
The Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing gets outstanding user review coverage. Amazon.com is the top source, with more than 1,100 entries, some of which are thorough enough to rival basic professional reviews. Target.com also has an impressive number of reviews, with more than 850.

The Fisher-Price Baby Papasan Cradle Swing earns top spot among baby swings. The only negative mentioned is that the seven-minute automatic timer can't be controlled manually.

6. 3Luxe.com
3Luxe.com consists of short top-three reviews of a good selection of product types. The Fisher-Price Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle Swing makes the cut for baby swings. Unfortunately, credibility is hampered by the uniformly positive assessments and highly enthusiastic tone.
