Soothing Motions™ Glider

Babies love being soothed while being held in a glider rocking chair. Now they can enjoy that same soothing motion in a reclining glider that’s just for them! Fisher-Price’s Soothing Motions Glider provides a similar gliding motion for baby in two ways - side-to-side or front-to-back. And this glider is so plush and comfy, you’ll love putting your newborn in it right from the start. The Soothing Motions Glider’s Deep Cradle Seat offers extra support for baby’s back, sides & head. (Add the infant insert to give baby even more plush support!) There’s a recline position for younger babies and a slightly inclined position for older babies. As baby glides back & forth with the chair’s comforting motion, you can choose from soothing or playful music and she can gaze at the plush toys overhead. Carry handles for portability from room to room. Soft pad is machine washable. Requires 4 “D” (LR20) alkaline batteries (not included). Maximum weight: 25 lbs. Developmental Guidelines: Use from birth until child becomes active and can climb out of the seat. Better for Baby: Unique two-way gliding motion and soothing music promotes relaxation Deep cradle seat supports baby Reclining seat adds to baby’s comfort Different styles of music stimulate baby’s auditory sense Reaching for plush toys overhead helps promote gross motor skills Better for Mom: Seat rotates 360 degrees to position seat so baby always faces mom Removable toy bar for easy access to baby Machine-washable pad Carry handles make it easy to take from room to room

LOVE! February 22, 2010
"I got this Soothing Motions Glider chair when I was pregnant with my 1st baby and never thought how much I would LOVE this chair! Being a 1st time mom I bought it all- a swing, bouncy seat and this and of them all she only loved this! She had HORRID acid reflux but this chair sat her up just enough to help with the reflux and still be able to sleep sound. She played in this chair all the time, took all her naps in it and slept in it every night! Im not sure if she was just a perfect baby or if it was this chair but she was sleeping through the night by 1month old! My daughter used this chair from the day we brought her home from the hospital intel she was 8months old (By 6months old you really cant use the glider though but its a great nap seat!) The only thing that kind of stunk was there are 2 speeds on it but they both go the same exact speed."

favorite thing to put baby in! January 15, 2010
"I'm a mom of 3. Bought this when baby #2 arrived. I love it...Baby #3 is in it right now...such a good place for them to hang out when they are little...It keeps the head raised a little...so I like to put them in there after drinking a bottle instead of lying them flat in a pack in play. The gliding motion helps put them to sleep...I tell every new mom this should be on their baby shower registry..."

THE ONLY PRODUCT YOU NEED !!! January 15, 2010
"I cant say enough about how the glider saved us. This is such an amazing product. The first night our 4 week old slept 6 hours !!! She has horrible reflux and refuses to lay flat so this is just the perfect elevation. Another big plus is the battery life is amazing. They last like 4 weeks and we have it rocking her all night long. Shes almost 4 months and shes still sleeping in it. Shes 14 lbs.......Im hoping we can get another month out of it because of how amazing it is. I wish they made this in a bigger version to fit even older babies past 5 months. This is the best product on the market. You can just put it right next to your bed or on the floor in his/her room. I have recommended it to all of my friends."

Great for Reflux Baby September 8, 2009
"My baby had bad reflux and found this worked great for sleeping for the 1st few months. He was comfortable and slept great. I only wish this was available when I had my 1st baby. Only negative it's heavy and kind of awkward to carry with the baby in it."

LOVE IT! August 25, 2009
"my parents got this for us when we had our oldest daughter (now 2). she was tiny when she was born (5 lb 14 oz-born at 38 weeks) and slept in it for almost 2 months. perfect for tiny babies.
our youngest is almost 12 weeks now and was 8 lb 1 oz when she was born and loves it just the same. i highly recommend this product. my best friend borrowed it for her son when he was little and he loved it too.
i personally like how the seat turns a full 360. its not so great when you have a big sister wanting to spin the baby but you finally get them to leave it alone. :)
i like being able to see her at all times and she loves moving in any direction. it is nice that it's low to the ground and won't tip over. our 2 year old is very active and always wants to hold her sister. i feel very comfortable knowing that she may be reachable but if for any reason she gets unstrapped, she's not being pulled 3 feet to the ground as if she were in a swing.

Love It August 25, 2009
"Put our child in glider after a few weeks of birth. He loves it. Great for naps during the day and also play time. Not looking forward to putting it away. In four months only had to change batteries once. Cons.. Heavy and wish it had a vibrate function."

Super Baby Seat Choice, VERY HAPPY August 12, 2009
"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!).

Thanks FP!

my baby finally sleeps somewhere other than us! June 14, 2009
"This has been a lifesaver for me! Due to reflux, for the first 2 months, my baby would only sleep on me day and night. I was recommended this product, and my baby slept for 7 hours straight the 2nd night we used it. When they awake during the night, it gently rocks them back to sleep. Perfect for colicky or reflux babies, especially premature ones like mine was as they like the close quarters."

Great Product June 12, 2009
"I received this product as a gift at my babyshower. My son loved the product for his first two weeks of life only. The product is absolutely perfect, but my baby is very active. He's already sitting up at 3 1/2 months, so he basically hates to lay down. I would definitely recomment this product to every parent out there!!!"

Love this item... May 15, 2009
"My daughter & I both own this seat for her 2 month old son. I stayed to help with the baby the first week he was home. I was the night "Nanny" and the baby ended up sleeping in this seat from the first night home. The Motion Glider was a hit for us. The baby loves sleeping in it. It actually has turned into his full time "bed" up until now. My daughter loves the fact we can move it around easly and it has the proper incline to satisfy the need to protect him from SIDS. My daughter owns two of these seats, one for downstairs, one for upstairs in her home."

Happy Grandmom May 7, 2009
"I got this from a neighbor whose daughter had got it as a gift for her son. She said he didn't like it. Their loss our gain! My granddaughter absolutely loves it! I initially got it to use when she came to visit at my house, but because she was so content when in it I told my daughter to take it home with her. I just purchased another one for my house so they wouldn't have to transport it. What a wonderful thing. The color is gender neutral, the motion is very gentle, and it glides in two directions. I wish they had something like this when I had my children!"

Must Have for Infants April 15, 2009
"I bought this for a friend for her baby, her little one wanted to be held all the time and the soothing motion glider was the only thing that worked. Easy to move from room to room. She gave it back to me when I found out I was expecting again. My little one loved it as well. Only meant for infants, till they can roll over. Mine has been through 2 babies and still in excellent condition. Batteries have also lasted a long time, used everyday and only replaced about every 6 weeks."
