 Soothing glider calms your baby with a smooth, side-to-side movement. View larger. |
The unique nestling design of the Soothing Motions Glider helps baby relax and rest, while a gentle gliding motion moves from side-to-side or front-to-back at two calming speeds. The deep cradle seat properly supports back, sides, and head, and a canopy provides a secure, enclosed feeling without preventing you from seeing your child. 16 total songs--eight that soothe and eight that entertain--set the mood and keep baby engaged, allowing tired moms and dads to rest their arms and backs while knowing baby is safe and comfy.
Helps Encourage Healthy Development
When baby is cranky and holding her doesn't seem to help, the Soothing Motions Glider gives you a simple option to help smooth things over. The removable toy bar features two plush toys that dangle and delight baby while helping to strengthen her gross motor skills. The varying melodies also stimulate her auditory sense, so she's developing key skills while playing or resting. Several options keep things cozy, fun, and convenient for both parents and baby: a plush insert ensures additional head support; carry handles make for easy portability; and a machine-washable seat makes clean-up a snap. Finally, the seat rotates 360 degrees so you can easily position it to keep baby facing mom or dad.
The Soothing Motions Glider measures 7.4 x 19 x 24.5 inches (WxHxD), weighs 15.8 pounds, and requires four "D" batteries (not included).

Has some bugs but overall a good product.
I bought this because I have remembered that in the past my first two babies liked being rocked to sleep and when I would get them to sleep as soon as I would lay them in bed they would immediately wake up and start screaming! So I got this hoping that the rocking motion would keep the baby asleep when I put them in there. And sure enough it worked like a charm. The biggest issue I had was that it did not come with an AC adapter option. You have to use batteries. Do not use regular batteries; it eats them! Get a charger and rechargable batteries. I suggest two sets. One set to use and the others to have when they run out of juice and thus the others are charging while you are running the others down.
Anyways I used it for my baby until she was about 6 months old. At which point she could climb out of it and it became unsafe. By this time I was able to switch her to sleep in a bed with no problem. The speeds were fine for my uses. I used it not to put them to sleep but instead to keep them that way after I'd rocked them to sleep. If it wasn't for the battery issues I would give it 5 stars. I will say this...it was a life saver! In the past I would spend an hour getting my previous two children to bed at night. But with this it was soooo much easier.
Love it but a little expensive
I bought this for my 2nd child to sleep in. She wouldn't sleep in her crib or bassinet and liked sleeping in her car seat. This was perfect! My 3rd child sleeps in this as well. I put it right beside my bed. The motions puts her right to sleep. The product itself is great, but I don't really know if it's worth the price.
The coolest and most useful thing we bought for our daughter!
This chair is great! I had gotten it a bit cheaper at the time off amazon but it's worth any price. It is SO quiet, and the 360 spin of the chair makes for rocking in any position. Our daughter loves this thing, I wish they would have had this when our son was born. The only down fall is she prefers to sleep in the chair rather than her crib.... but she is only a month old so that may change. The little toys are cute too, they don't make any noise but sure enough baby will bat at them:) I would recommend this to a friend for sure!
I don't understand all the good reviews
After reading all these great reviews, I made this buy. This product did nothing for either of my babies-- in fact it made them fuss, which was not their normal behavior. It did not move fast enough at all! The swing is far superior, so I don't get the point of having this. It takes up too much room as well. If it moved a lot faster or vibrated, it might be useful, but I wouldn't recommend this at all.
Super Seat Choice, VERY HAPPY!
I feel that for my 4th child I have a better idea about what I really need. I felt after borrowing a seat for my last 2 children that I needed to buy my own (what I had purchased previously had either broken or the baby didn't like it).
I read a lot of reviews and decided to go with this glider. I am so happy that it turned out to be a good choice. The way it is shaped is nice and cozy feeling to the baby... the next best thing to being held. It really does soothe him. The batteries last a long time... we have used this a ton in the last three weeks and have not had to change batteries.
The music variety makes it so it is not annoying.
It also is a very safe with a base that stays put and straps that adjust to fit the baby. It also sits at just the right angle so that an infant is sitting enough to be able to look around a little, but not far forward enough to fall forward (like the swings I have tried... which is so annoying and unsafe!).
I think it also has good resale value through avenues like Craigslist and local classifieds.
Thanks Fisher Price!
