Fisher-Price Soothing Motions Glider J1314

Life saver! great – It is great as it slides every way even though it can do 360 degrees. its a bit heavy to carry around. I bought it with our first son, used for good 4-5 months and then he got bored in it coz its pretty reclined. Now i use it for my 3 month old, and shes bored from it earlier than my son, coz she wants to sit up already.. its a lifesaver for the… Read more

first 1 month though, when my baby was waking up so often, i would just put her in there, and she just used to fall asleep herself. its fully washable, the batteries last long, i haven't replaced them yet so far. the only bad thing about this is the seat does not adjust. There's a belt ahe back of the belt which you can clip or unclip to recline or put it up a bit, but does not make a difference at all.

other than that its very good to leave the baby in there turn the glider on and have a quick shower. Baby loves it, very handy, gives you some time off while the baby is being entertained Seat does not adjust/recline

OK – Has helped with a reflux baby, as the swing motion machines out there tend to make her sick. Baby loves to sit in it even when its not gliding. I have used extra blankets behind her to make her sit up a bit more. Still in use and bubs is 3 months old and still has plenty of room to move. Great for reflux babies, easy to clean and easy to use. Love… Read more

the full 360 degree turn ability, and it still is able to glide! Very heavy, colours are a bit boring and neutral- doesn't stimulate baby. Can be a bit clunky whilst it glides. I wish it had an adjustable seat, as it is very reclined.

Excellent – I brought my daughter this when she was a baby to help her settle of a day. I then went on to have my son and he enjoys it alot. Now his starting to get a little to big for which is a bugger as it use to help he get of to sleep for his day sleeps. Over all i really love this item and it was a like a life saver in the first few months of life with… Read more

the early wake ups to help bub go back to sleep as both my children always loved to be held and every since this item has been great with helping me break there habit of it. Very smoothing for a unsettled baby. Worth its price. Just a little heavy to carry from room to room. If your baby grows quickly and it doesnt last long

Good – The glider was fantastic for us when our baby would wake at 4:30am we could put her in it and it kept her entertained and even put her back to sleep on many occasions without us having to rock her. It also meant that we could have a shower or get dinner ready and she was happy. The seat coverings are easy to remove and wash which is fantastic… Read more

when you have a reflux baby. Overall it has been great but not sure how much value we will get from it. Compared to other gliders / rockers it’s fairly compact and doesn’t look to imposing. The glider fabric is completely washable, very handy for our reflux baby. The toy bar is removable; we have also added different toys to the bar to keep her entertained. The seat moves 360 degrees, so you can have head to toe rocking or side to side. Very portable and light, we often move it from room to room or even outdoors on the deck. Batteries last ages. Don't know what the two different seating positions are... we couldn't find them...seems either with padding or without (not much difference)Can be a little bit noisy but the white noise can help to put baby to sleep. The music is a little boring and annoying after a while, but at least you can turn it off.

Good – this was great when my son was a young baby, but as he has gotten older he has lost interest in it. He is now 5 months and it doesnt sit up enough for him, and he struggles against it. If it sat up more it would be used for longer and be better value for money.I loved using it when baby was young, and am sad that he doesnt use it any more. For the… Read more

price it cost, I probably wouldnt buy this. I was given this, and used it a lot when my baby was newborn-3 months, he fell asleep in it easily, and loved reaching for the toys. The material washes well, thankfully as we have had a couple of number 3's, which all traces have washed out. Music very soothing nothing really, bit pricey, but it was a gift.

Good – I got this thinking that I would be able to put my daughter in it and it would rock her to sleep. Well it worked a few times but not as well as I thought. The 4 D size batteries have lasted a long time. Easy to clean just strip it off and in the washing machine it goes. The padding is really soft. Has two recline positions. It is safe to carry… Read more

while baby is in it making it easy to move baby around. Plays soothing or playful music. And has 2 different gliding speeds. Toys are a little far away for babies reach. When baby kicks when gliding it effects the gliding motion

Good – We really liked this unit. For short naps it was wonderful, the constant smooth motion kept baby asleep. I would like to see it come with a cotton type insert to keep baby cooler and adjustable toys so that baby can actually interact with them rather than just look at them. Different rocking motions (side to side or front to back) and speeds … Read more

Removable toy bar

Relatively quiet

You dont have to put on the music. The 'hammock' fabric was very warm making summer use difficult without putting a cotton wrap down first.

The bar was too high to be effectual in keeping baby entertained as she couldnt reach them or make them move so she was easily frustrated.

The safety pouch was difficult to put around a sleeping baby but without out it she slid progressively further down the seat.
