Coming from a Mom Who Knows!
I could not live without my Fisher price infant to toddler rocker. I received this as a gift at my first baby shower over two years ago and had gotten at least six months use out of it since with my first son, who is know two and hated his top-price swing. After the six month mark the
crawling age started so being strapped in a chair was out of the question it was put in a closet to gather dust till my second son made his grand entrance. As with my first my new baby was lulled asleep by the vibrating, and after he got control of his head I could put the rocker in rocking potion and rock it with my foot while doing other tasks, paying bills, planning the menu for the week, etc. Plus usually when you have to tell your older child to stay off of the baby toys it further enhances jealousy this toy is nice because it is not just the baby seat. So even though my two year old calls it a “baby seat” he occasionally sits in it though we have to tell him to wait till we get the baby out first!! Since mine is one of the first models of its kind it is old school in the padding area the newer ones look quite comfy compared to my thin cloth over hard steel bars. I would give the fisher price infant to toddler two thumbs up especially if you are planning on having more than one child.
Also I know most people say that having a swing is a must have but if you do not get one for a baby shower gift I would wait till you bundle of jot arrives to shell out the dough for one of those. My first son would start crying bloody murder even before he would touch the cloth. My second son loves the rocking of the swing and is enchanted by the fisher price rainforest hanging animal and the colorful design of the back drop. Now I cold be the mother who says I could not live with out the swing but only if you have deep pockets would I dive in for that purchase before a baby was born. I think that if you have friends with babies you should try one out with your child first, because you might just have one of those babies that the only rocking motion they want is the one your legs make!!
