Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing
Best baby swing
- Quiet motor
- Entertaining toys, soothing music
- Can run on electricity or batteries
- Large footprint
- Expensive
The Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing is a clear favorite with reviewers. In fact, the whole Fisher-Price Papasan series gets top marks from parents for its seat design and sound quality (with 16 songs plus ambient sounds). One feature that sets this swing apart from less expensive models is that it can swing back to front or side to side. That's especially helpful for parents whose babies have colic and who can sometimes be soothed by the side-to-side motion. Full-size swings can be cumbersome to move, however. If you plan on frequent trips or want a swing that moves easily from room to room, the Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Deep Blue Sea Space Saver Swing & Seat (*Est. $70) receives better reviews than any other baby travel swing in this report.
The Fisher-Price Starlight Papasan Cradle Swing gets outstanding user review coverage. Amazon.com is the top source, with more than 1,300 entries, some of which are thorough enough to rival basic professional reviews. Target.com also has an impressive number of reviews, with more than 900 users chiming in.

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

6. 3Luxe.com
The site 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. Credibility is hampered by uniformly positive assessments.
