Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing

Every baby needs a proper swing. This choice provides a smooth swinging motion that will lull even the most colicky baby to sleep. With two swinging modes (front to back and side to side like a cradle), this isn’t your average baby swing. It’s the perfect baby pleaser.

This Swing is Unique

Fisher-Price is toy company that is well known for adding lots of bells and whistles to its toys. The Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing is no different. We’ve already spoken about the two different swinging modes. However, there are many additional features worth mentioning. The swing also comes with a motorized mobile, which hangs above the baby’s head. The mobile plays eight different songs and peaceful nature sounds, using a dragonfly, a bird and a butterfly to keep the baby’s attention. The dragonfly, bird and butterfly all fly in a circle around a mirrored globe, which allows the baby to see themselves and everything around them. They can sway gently while listening to music or sounds, watching the mobile above or playing with a removable activity bar placed over their lap. The motor of the Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing is also relatively quiet, so it won’t keep the baby awake during naptime.

Additional Comfort

The Papasan Swing was designed to imitate the comfort of an adult-sized papasan chair. The oversized cradle chair offers lots of cushioning with multi-layered fabric and soft components. The double-padded cradle serves as the center, where the baby can rest, play or relax. Add in a soothing swinging sensation with six different speed settings, and you have the makings of the perfect napping chair. The lining can also be removed so that you can wash it and keep it clean. Parents will especially appreciate the additional infant head support and a two-position seat recline adjustment feature. This one can also be transported simply, as it folds for storage purposes. This makes it easy for parents to take it with them to family gatherings, or on family vacations. The Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing retails for $155.00. This may seem expensive at first glance, but with all of the features this baby-necessity provides it’s actually a reasonable price. You could easily drop close to $300 on other choices that aren’t portable and don’t offer as many features. This is a smart buy, and well worth the money, if only for the soothing effect it will have on your little one.
