Chicco Bouncing Cradle

I bought my Chicco cradle when my son was 2 weeks old and have used it since then. I like the fact that I can fold it down flat so he can sleep comfortably on it, as it it were a bed. If you get this cradle, it does away with using a Moses basket for your baby to sleep in when you are out of the bedroom in the day.

It is more sturdy than a normal bouncer and it has several different recline positions, from right back to sitting up. However, It doesn't seem very well thought out.

With no1 son I bought a cheap babystore make and I don't know how many times it tipped right over with him still in it! It came to a sorry end when his bum fell through it! This one is very strong and sturdy . It is navy with polka dots on so it keeps clean-looking longer. It is also easily washed and still looks good even with many spells of regurgarated food on it! There is a strap by which you can carry baby round it although I wasn't too impressed with this- too flimsy. You can also adjust it so it rocks or stays still, it is also excellent for feeding ...
