Editorial Review
The Swing 'n Glider is a glider for newborns that easily converts to a traditional swing for older babies, giving parents the ability to soothe baby at the youngest age with a gentle motion AND the ability to soothe and entertain baby with a swing. Or, moms can just play around with different motions and find the right one when baby is fussy.
Swing features six speeds that can be used in either the Glider or Swing mode. A two-position recline and three-point restraint keeps baby secure, and a small tray keeps food or toys close at hand. Soft infant seat insert is removable and machine washable. There are two music modes with 16 songs total: eight etheral, spa-like songs and eight more traditional lullabies. A swing-away mobile with three plush toys hangs overhead to delight and entertain.
Swing includes a plug with a quick-release safety feature for continuous swinging without batteries, but is also operable by 4 "D" batteries, not included. Measures 32"L x 30"W x 45"H.

Worked great for about a month 
2008-09-22
This swing worked great for about a month and was even a bit fast for a newborn. But now it will barely swing. It works when the swing is empty but as soon as I put my 14 lb baby in it, the swing barely moves...and the glider doesn't move at all. I'm disappointed to say the least.
a pretty good swing

Both of our twin boys will fall asleep in this swing and as far as I am concerned that is by far its biggest benefit. I don't really see much difference between the swing and the glide other than the position of the seat. I wish that the music would stay on and not turn off after a few minutes and I wish that the mobile was a little more interesting, but overall, this is a good swing. Being able to plug it into the wall is great and saves a lot of batteries.
slow swinger 
2008-02-04
We have had this swing/glider for 6 weeks and it has been a life saver for our now six week old daughter who will not sleep in her crib. The reason I am giving it such a poor score is that the swing does not seem to have any power even though it is plugged in to an outlet. My daughter is only 9 pounds and the swing/glider only moves about 3 inches back and forth and the speed dial does not change anything. It used to work well, so I don't know what the problem is now. It's only on for a few hours during the night and gets a break all day.
baby loves it when modified to slower speed 2007-12-19
After we saw how much our baby liked her swing downstairs, I wanted to get a different one for our upstairs room.
The glide option is great, and so is the fact that it plugs in. I like the mobile that moves out of the way, but it would be nice if it were motorized and moved or something other than just dangling above her head. I also wish it came in other colors since this one is kinda boy-ish.
The swing does not go slow enough, so we have to drape a blanket or something over it to slow it down (it even suggests doing this in the manual!). It's also pretty noisy, and it takes up a lot of space.
Other than that though, the baby likes it!
A must have

I can clearly say that this swing is great the motor is quiet, the music is clear and clean sounding not tinny. And the padding is so easy to remove, clean, and to reattach. Babys love this thing, it's the next best thing to rocking them yourself.

Pretty Good Swing 
2007-07-28
We just purchased this swing for our 6 week old daughter, and were honestly a little disappointed. Fisher Price just missed out a few opporutnities to make this the perfect swing: it would be great if the tray had some little toys on it, and the mobile should rotate or something. It also took a bit of time to assemble--not that it was too difficult, but there were just a lot of parts to make sense of. I do love that you can plug it in, and the colors are really nice. It is very sturdy, too.
Awesome swing! 2007-07-08
I just absolutely LOVE this swing! We have been putting my son in it since he was 2 weeks old, and it never fails to put him straight to sleep! His favorite is the glider selection. We looked at a lot of swings, read plenty of reviews, and decided on this swing.
The selling points of this swing are mainly the fact that you can plug it in (saves a TON of money on batteries!) and that it has two types of swinging action- the regular swing mode and a glider swing mode. it also reclines enough for our newborn, and he didn't need an extra head support, it comes with one! The lowest speed is PLENTY fast and strong, it's all we've used so far. Any time he gets fussy, we just plop him in and he falls instantly asleep! It's a must-have swing!
It worked - at least most of the time 2007-05-13
I purchased it because the childcare my 1.5 months son was going to had it, and he seemed to really like it. There were very few ways to keep him peaceful at that time, so I embraced the hope and bought it for using at home. Becides, I thought the price for a neat and sturdy construction it's got was not bad at all. The shipping didn't cost me anything, and surprizingly it came only 2 days later! Easy assembly, and he was gliding away in no time. Before, I had to hold him for 30-40 mins after feedings in semi-upright position just to make sure he keeps his food down. Now, I can strap him in a glider right after he eats, and the positioning is just right. He is 3 months old now, and the glider is still one of the very few things that keeps him happy. I love the looks, too! No need to worry about batteries. I think it's a great deal. The most important thing - my husband is a great enemy of "buying stuff". Period. But he loved this one, so I didn't get in any trouble:)
Cons - neither I nor my child care for the music... but maybe we're picky; takes up some space and isn't mobile - however one person can move it easily, without taking apart if needed.
Great Swing 2007-03-09
I bought this about a month ago for my 4 1/2 month old daughter and she loves it. I like this swing because it's really sturdy- the base has a front and back while other swings I looked at didn't have that. The color goes well for either boy or girl also. Another thing I love is that I can plug it in and I don't have to worry about wasting battery pack after battery pack. It's a really great feature. Like the name suggests, it's more than a swing but also a glider which is pretty cool, my daughter likes the change up every once in a while. I would've given it 5 stars instead of 4 but the mobile on the swing seemed a bit too simple. It looks like that part of the swing had more potential to entertain baby but well- it fell a little short. Overall, I would recommend this swing. It's sturdy, safe, enjoyable, and has cool little features.
