Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing -  Nature's Touch N1973Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing - Nature's Touch N1973
Big, but great. Now she's 7 months old and still using it. It swings two ways, but swings fast, so your baby has to like swinging. Not loud, very stable, doesn't eat up batteries, nice music.

InStep Safari Swivel Jogging StrollerInStep Safari Swivel Jogging Stroller
Buy new: $117.99 - $239.99
Look for this in a stroller: - swivel/fixed front wheel - allows baby to lay all the way flat -has padding at sides where head is, a lot of strollers lack this... kind of like an umbrella stroller has no padding - make sure it collapses in a good way for you... - cup holder for you. I find this important. - viewer in canopy.
