Question Fisher Price Cradle Swing????

Hi all I'm looking at buying a fisher price rainforrest cradle swing, just wondering if anyones used one and if they were happy with it! I know that they're only in it until around 9kg but I was thinking that it would get bubs off the rocker chair on the floor and then he wouldn't get hurt by Josh or the dog jumping on him!
Anyway love to hear what you think of them!!
Thanks,
Snoopea

I have bought one for this baby after friends recommended it, we also have pets and needed something to put baby up high so he will be off the floor. I didnt want to pay $250 for a brand newie so we got one off ebay for $100 and its only 6 months old.

WE have the same one as Feeb and we still use it...

I had it packed up waiting till we decide on #2, and I came home the other day and DH had it out and DD out like a light.. AS she is so lite, she is only just hitting the max weight now.. Not sure how I will trick her to sleep through the day now..

We have one too, but I don't use it as much as I thought I would. I tend to give DS lots of floor time. But, it is great to pop him in there while I cook dinner or vacuum. Then again, I also put him in his pram or his rocker chair too. For the money we spent on it, I probably wouldn't buy it if I had the chance again.

absolute lifesaver mine was I have 2 aquarium ones ( one at mine one at mums) and as they get older the lights and music also work a treat we are still using ours at 6 months and we paid $110 for both and they were like new. and the batteries last ages.
