Editorial Review
Adding a little bit of extra comfort to baby’s world is always a wonderful thing and this big cushy chair from Nature’s Touch provides a lovely place for baby to either hang out and be entertained or take a quick snooze. It’s modeled after the popular Papasan chairs that are so often the purview only of grown-ups. In addition to the well-padded seat, there is a mobile of pleasant toys and a selection of electronic music, which we found to be much more soothing than is often the case and, mercifully, with adjustable volume. The seat can be set for swing or cradle setting and the liner is detachable and machine washable. --Charlie Williams

Customer Reviews

Don't buy if your baby likes to sit up
After debating between this swing and the Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Swing, I decided to purchase the Papasan Cradle Swing based on the large numbers of positive reviews on this site.

The seat is extremely cosy and comfortable and overall I think this is a good product, but it was just not for my baby. Our son has been sleeping in the Ocean Wonders bouncey chair since we brought him home, which holds him up in a more upright position. He hated the deep, nestled position that the Papasan swing makes you sit in. If your baby is also used to sitting in an upright position, he may not like this swing.

A couple other notes:

-The mobile is poorly designed. Your baby can really only see the bottom of the rotating animals for the most part.
-The 2008 model of this swing is suppose to have an AC adaptor which was another reason I wanted to buy this swing. The model I received from Amazon was an older model and didn't have this feature.
-The music/sound shuts off automatically so you have to keep getting up and turning the music back on.

I am going to try my luck with the Ocean Wonders swing which holds your baby in a more upright position.

"Where's My Stuff
Well, I am so glad that the thousands of your reviewers got the little swing, like it or not, they got it!!! I, however, ordered this product on 10/31/08; verified "Thanks for your order" email that day. Received another verified "Your gift has left the arena" email, dated 11/08. Arrived @ granddaughter's home late November and was surprised to find that she did not get delivery of the swing. To no avail, my attempts to find out where the swing is through Amazon.comllc and Fed Ex, which I paid $18.00 for delivery, met with some very and ongoing stress, as the # given to me for the order could not be accepted via their customer service site. ANDS I never received a tracking number, so Fed Ex was useless via their automated service. So, tomorrow I attend my only granddaughter's baby shower without a gift for my first Great Grandson. AND I have Amazon.com to thank for this!!!

Much needed sleep provided!
This swing is a wonderful thing with a smooth ride for our wonderful grandson, providing all with much needed sleep when he doesn't want to be in a crib or bassinet!
