The Fisher-Price Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle Swing G2609 is an effective way to soothe and comfort most infants.

We find the multi-directional swinging motion a definite plus. With the push of a button, a parent can make the swing go front-to-back or side-to-side. Additionally, this model features six swing speeds and two positions (recline and upright). The papasan seat provides a deep "cradle" for a growing baby who weighs up to 25 pounds. In fact, it's so comfortable we're convinced that many parents will wish that the Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle Swing could accommodate older babies as well.

This swing has a toy bar with a snack tray across the front that can be removed when needed. It also features a mobile with plush toys; we like the ability to activate the mobile, music and swing at once, or activate each feature separately.

We do have two minor complaints about this swing. First, the swing requires four D batteries and they need to be frequently replaced, so it's a good idea to include this expense in your baby gear budget. Second, the music only plays for seven minutes. We would like the option to play it for longer periods of time.

We like that the Baby Papasan Cradle Swing has a waist belt safety harness that is easy to adjust and seems to fit a baby securely. Overall, there's a lot to love about the Nature's Touch Baby Papasan Cradle Swing, and if your baby likes it as much as we do, it's worth the price.


Pros: Multi-directional swing, comfortable padded seat
Cons: Frequent battery replacement, 25 pound weight limit
