Fisher-Price's Zen Collection Cradle Swing, for under $220, is a 2-in-1 swing and cradle with a removable baby seat, plus a variety of options to sooth and comfort your baby. It measures 30×36x44 inches, with a sleek look and contemporary design.
With its rich, earthy tones, subtle patterns, and modern design, this swing will fit well with your home's decor, and won't make it look like your living room has been turned into a nursery. Its neutral colors and design also make it great to use with either gender. Parents will enjoy just having this swing in the house as much as their baby will enjoy using it. This swing offers a variety of features to keep your child happy and safe. It's designed to hold children under 25 pounds who are not yet able to sit up unassisted.
One unique feature is a swing that rotates 90 degrees, allowing your baby to swing either front-to-back or side-to-side. There's a range of speeds to choose from to keep your baby going in the direction and speed most comfortable for her. There are also two different sound tracks to choose from the calm and entertain your baby. The first track features relaxing nature sounds and 14 classical songs, and the second contains 6 lullabies and 8 entertaining musical tracks for your child to enjoy. A modern-looking mobile hangs over the seat, with three fun, plush characters that gently swing around to captivate your child.
The Zen Collection Cradle Swing is a true step up from more traditional metal-framed swings with upright seats. This swing's basket-shaped cradle with extra head support provides plenty of comfort and security for even the youngest infants, and is cozy enough for your baby to be able to fall asleep in it. The seat can also be reclined and has a 3-point restraint and soft wrap blanket. Best of all, when your infant falls asleep, you won't have to disturb her to pick her up and move her to her crib; just detach the cradle from the swing stand and carry it with you from room to room, or find a quiet corner for her to continue sleeping peacefully. This swing has a fairly big “footprint” when fully assembled, and stands 47 inches tall when the mobile is attached, which could make it cumbersome in a smaller household. However, the base folds up easily for storage when not being used.
I just recently started playing with a really cool swing/rockabilly band called The Shiny Lapel Trio. You've probably heard them and never knew it. They've provided the music for two national commercials for Kohl's Department Stores. Anyway, the band is heavily influenced by acts such as Dean Martin, Louis Prima, Elvis, and Brian Setzer. In fact, the guitarist loves Setzer so much that he even plays a Brain Setzer Model Gretsch Guitar. It made me break out some old Setzer as well as some recent stuff. One of the cooler items I have in my collection is a bootleg of a concert The Brian Setzer Orchestra did in 1998. I was thinking that it wasn't that long ago but I now realize that it is over ten years old. My, how time flies! Anyway, this exceptional sounding concert is today's sharity. Here is “The Brian Setzer Orchestra: Boston 98″. Enjoy!

BONUS:
Here's one of the Kohl's commercials featuring The Shiny Lapel Trio.
I have a 14 mo old Cane Corso – which I am aware sometimes has a bad reputation. Our dog is still fairly small (98 lbs), and is GREAT around his dad and I… a sweet, loveable baby. He is also pretty good around ADULT strangers – he barks/growls at first, but within 2 minutes (and a few treats) he will allow the stranger to pet him and then will want to lay in their lap – even if they are coming into his house.
He is NOT good around children. He won’t chase after them, but he will growl and snap at them. On two seperate occasions he nearly bit a child (when I say ‘nearly bit’ i mean lunged and COULD have bitten them, but for some reason decided not to. He as never been around a child that has treated him bad (so it’s not bad memories), and we pull on him, poke him, etc. regularly (as well as playing with his food while eating) because we planned on having children someday and didnt want this to be an issue.
His nervousness/aggression towards children is (obviously) UNACCEPTABLE to us.. ESPICALLY because we are expecting our first child. He HAS successfully been around children before, but we need CONSISTANT good behavior. We have also noticed some separation anxiety. He gets along with other dogs (even small ones), and lived with a cat for a short while too. The dog has not been to any formal training yet, and we are working on finding a trainer in our area (we JUST moved to a different country where english is NOT the primary language, so it will probably be at least another 2 weeks or so until we start working with one).
The dog used to live with his ‘dad’s parents and their Jack Russel/Pitbull mix. He got along fine with them, but they let him get away with EVERYTHING and did not train him. For now, we have done some research on the internet and have begun training on establishing/reinforcing ‘who is the alpha dog’ in the house. He is smart and appears to be coming along fast/well (he just moved here 6 days ago). We have made the following advances:
- Reduced Barking (he used to bark EVERY TIME someone walked by the house – now it’s just when the door bell rings, or someone knocks. He still low growls at times)
- waiting for the humans to go up stairs/through doors first
- reduced (though NOT NEARLY perfect) pulling while on walks
- waits outside the dining area while we eat (he apparently was allowed to sit RIGHT AT the table – the height of his head – before)
- required to sit when we leave for/come in from walks
- He is not/never was food aggressive. And already must lay down and wait (sometimes up to 20 minutes) before eating his food, and eats after us.
We are looking into a prong collar (for the walks). And a Muzzle so we can bring him around children where he can learn they are nice, without a risk of him biting them.
What else can you suggest? Of course – for us – NO DOG is worth a child getting bitten ESPICALLY by a dog so large – it’s very dangerous (lawsuit is also a concern, but SAFETY is our priority).
A child is in itself a wonderful experience and can provide parents with some exquisite make. There is always the need to purchase, equipment and accessories for children and parents can easily find themselves in unfamiliar territory, given the big decisions, which are available in specialty stores. The decision to buy a stroller that is faced by many parents and this guide will try to put a little 'information about the company, the company with the stroller.
Graco Baby Stroller
TheFounded in 1940, and was then specializing in automobile components. Soon she decided to diversify in products for children, and it starts with the production of a baby swing. From there I went to a line of products for children, the AHS has been received from parents in general for development.
The company now has a reputation in the Graco stroller and they even have several branches that do business with the stroller. One of these is the Travel System TypeStroller and a car seat that are attached to the stroller. The only bad thing that this system is that if the baby's weight by 20 pounds, it is almost time for the car seat, even if the child can still be used to replace reached.
Another type of Graco strollers are the lightest. This lightweight stroller combines safety and practicality. Features such as cup and toys are the owners of these strollers. This ishelpful because many parents have to supply children with them.
More Baby Strollers
Another name in the field of Maclaren strollers is the company based in England. These strollers are known for their security features that are available in all their strollers known. And all this without compromising the weight of the stroller. Some of the Maclaren's strollers weigh less than 8 pounds.
Combi is another choice for parents looking for a stroller that is safelightweight and durable. This stroller company can be directly connected to a car seat and also has a template, flash-x, which has a shoulder strap. This is useful for parents who too often take the plains.
Suggestions for the selection of pushchairs
Always after a baby, your lifestyle. If you drive a car, for example, a search that could be connected to a car seat. There are a variety of places toExample of how votes are strollers and this is a good opportunity to know the properties of the wheelchair.
Always seek information from friends and relatives before you buy.

Wow, that crazy Bug laugh hasn’t changed a bit. And your voice is not annoying!
January 25th, 2010 at 1:17 am
I’m finding it nearly impossible to lift Pixie up high enough to get her legs into the baby swings. It feels like our kiddos sprouted over night.

My four year old still likes the baby swings too!
January 25th, 2010 at 7:00 am
Her laugh is really so adorably the same! How lovely that she still enjoys swinging.

My 5 year old (getting close to 6) still wants to sit in the baby swings.
January 25th, 2010 at 12:53 pm
You are never too old to attempt riding the baby swings. Everytime I see one I have the need to try and squeeze on (rather than in).

Once in a while something you post about Bug seems to come straight out of our past and future (G is bigger than the baby in your 2006 swing post and smaller than Bug is now) and it makes me feel all bittersweet about the cute baby we’re leaving behind and the incredible daughter she’s growing into.
What an adorable baby, that Bug. Aren’t you glad we have digital cameras in our era as parents? Even my brother didn’t have digital when his first was born.

Baby Bug in the video is the same age as my Tumblebug is now (8 months, right?). It is the middle of winter here, so he hasn’t been in a swing lately, but he laughs like that.
January 25th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Her laugh is sooo cute. Also, her legs look so long!
January 25th, 2010 at 5:29 pm
How fun that you can actually link back to her first time in the swing. And Bug looks like she is having just as much fun now as she did only three and a bit years ago. I just can’t believe Bug is four! FOUR! 4! Man, time flies when you are having fun.
January 25th, 2010 at 7:58 pm
That was a fun trip down memory lane! Her laugh is contagious!
January 25th, 2010 at 8:11 pm
Hee hee! I went looking back at that post and then noticed the post the very next day. The myspace smackdown. I remember that post.
I don’t remember if I was a lurker back then. I do remember that I was curious about the picture so I emailed you and you sent it to me. I laughed so hard I was crying.
And I know my comment has nothing to do with your post. I just went down memory lane.

If you could put Bug’s laugh in a pill you’d have the perfect medicine to treat depression. How joyful! What a dear girl she is.
And did I see Whoorl and Wito in the background???
January 27th, 2010 at 10:11 am
Remember when Bug and I were goofing around on the deck at the cabin…Same laugh! I’m still giggling…So fun.
