Admittedly, I didn’t really know what I was doing when I registered for baby items with my first pregnancy.  I had a general idea of what I would need, but honestly I didn’t really have any idea what made one item better than another.  Therefore, when I registered for a baby swing, I just chose one that matched the other stuff I’d picked out, whichout thinking of function.  Luckily, the baby swing was something I didn’t receive as a gift, so I set out to buy one two weeks after my baby was born.

As all moms know, your knowledge of baby needs expands exponentially as soon as you give birth.  So, when I went out to buy that baby swing, I knew that I need something very functional.  As it turns out, the baby swing can be the single most important baby item you own.  For us, it was a place where our baby could calm down, nap, play, relax, etc…  When I went shopping for a swing, I saw the Fisher Price Nature’s Touch Cradle Swing.  It is definitely different than most of the swings that are on the market.  First of all, it swings sideways, and can swivel to also swing back and forth.  The seat is extremely padded and cushioned, so it’s comfortable, and the swing plays both music and nature sounds.  Finally, it has a cute mobile that circles around a small mirror, so your baby can be entertained while swinging.

You can purchase the Fisher Price Nature’s Touch Cradle Swing at most baby stores or at Amazon.com.
