The swing only clicks when swinging if you stupidly try to change the direction of the swinging seat while the swing is in motion. New parents are typically scared of the fast swinging of swings. This swing does swing well, a little fast on the lowest setting."
"It is great to have a safe place to put your baby when you need to run to the bathroom or kitchen and know that even a mobile baby won't go anywhere and will be completely safe whether awake or asleep. It's amazing what "strapping" a baby down does for getting them to sleep too! We have been against letting our baby cry whenever we can avoid it and this swing has helped us avoid it and we use it for everything except nighttime sleep. We jokingly call the swing our "nanny" because it gets me a safe sleeping baby for several hours a day."
"The pros are it swings smoothly with variable speeds it has a nice mobile that spins with a mirrored surface that babies seem to love to stare at and has a good selection of sounds."
"The fabric is easy to wash, the buckles are removable (because they nothing is safe from the average blowout), and it was sturdy. I did notice it does creak, but a little WD40 took care of that, I am sure with any swing that has a metal base there is a possibility of squeaking. Babies love to look at mirrors, and it helps them learn to socialize. It is nice that the legs unsnap, but it is still taking up a lot of room in my garage."
"The first time I placed her in the swing she was in awe of the mirror and toys above her."
Fisher-Price My Little Snugabunny Cradle ‘n Swing cradles and swings, soothes and entertains, just the way baby likes it.

Two swinging motions to help soothe baby: rock baby side-to-side like a cradle or swing head-to-toe like a traditional baby swing.

"Easy enough to put together with a little instruction reading (took me about 5 minutes)."
"The swing has been."
"The only thing I would change would be adding white noise to the swing instead of or in addition to the other sounds they have."
"My 2month old loves this swing...and so do I!"
"I had previously bought the "Rainforest Friends" Fisher Price swing for baby number one. I will compare Snugapuppy model with the "Rainforest Friends" swing (Bought about two years ago). I don't have to worry baby will fall out because there's a belt, and it's safer and more fun than laying on the floor or bed. This is nice in that you know the correct spacing between the legs, with the previous model you could place it wide or narrow, and I never knew which was best. The older Rainforest Friends tended to "reset" or "rev" kinda loud, especially after first baby broke it. This swing, like old one, also has volume control which is great because you will soon tire of the music and at the lowest setting baby can hear it, but maybe you won't. The older swing had a cotton mesh type material that pilled very badly. Like the older model this seat can be adjusted to lay flat or so baby can sit up. Also the older version did not have the additional metal piece connecting the legs and it was easier to maneuver through a door. The Rainbow Forest swing had nice colorful mobile animals, and plush leaves in between. The Snugapuppy swing has a bunny, a puppy and a cat that have bare bones construction in a plain fabric. The toy is supposed to loop through the belt, but even in older swing we eventually removed it. We used the Rainforest Friends swing way past when we should with baby number one because it's so great and she was on the lighter side."
"The only complaint I could possibly think of is that the motor for the swing is a little loud when it has to get the swing going from a standstill or when it slows down too much."

"My 2month old loves this swing...and so do I!"
"I went to visit a relative who had this swing and put my daughter in it and she loved it and fell right to sleep so ordered it when I got home."
"I turn it on and push the swing to get it started, to not put too much pressure on the motor."
"Definitely quieter than a previous Fisher Price Cradle n' Swing I had with my first child; also more stable thanks to an updated frame design, giving baby a 'smooth ride'."
"Unfortunately motor is defective, very loud/shutters upon start up, motor grinds during operation and unit shutters while swinging when settings are changed."

Our son's feet reached the floor for a couple weeks before we left home in the rainforest jumperoo. In addition, the bigger problem is that the seat's lip is taller in this one and wider, so it is much harder for him to reach toys. Front toys: On the rainforest jumperoo, there is a green bar with three animals hanging or attached to it- an elephant facing the wrong way, a red bird, and monkey. Our son does like to twirl the red bird and the discs on the giraffe bar of the Luv-U, but watching them is uninteresting for him. The string makes it hard for him to grab on his own yet (4.5 months), so I have to give it to him and/or hold it in his mouth. The Rainforest has a pop up tiger whose mechanism probably is too advanced for our baby and it has a rainbow bar that he loves to look at with a sun rattle. I prefer the Rainforest seat since he can move himself to different toys if they catch his interest. The Luv-U is also nice, but the rainforest has my favorite music of any baby toy I've heard! It isn't nearly as good as the Rainforest Jumperoo IMO, but it is still a great activity toy for babies! Now that he is taller, his feet are flat on the ground on the highest setting of the rainforest, but at this age we rarely (never) use the Jumperoo anyway since he would rather explore on his own."
"I wanted something for my baby to bounce in, but didn't like a Johnny Jump Up because of how unstable they felt, so decided to buy this product, and I love it."
"My baby lovesssss this Jumperoo!"
"loves the different toys... the rhino bumps him in the head sometimes when he is jumping but he doesn't notice lol. this thing has made making dinner, vacuuming, getting dressed, and the basic things in life possible for me to do without holding him in one arm."
"Our baby girl absolutely loves this thing."
"My son is 5 months old and is very very active so we wanted something that he could enjoy as well as give our sore arms a break from him constantly jumping on us. The quality of the jumperoo is great and withstands my sons jumping and movement without tipping because of the curved arms."
"This was purchased from our registry and my baby had fun in it but there is sharp plastic on the underside."
"Upon placing my daughter in the Jumperoo and switching on the panel it did not work, did the 'reset' option, again didn't work, checked batteries which were okay, then put a multi-meter on the circuit boards and both circuit boards don't work!"
