Fisher Price's Zen Collection combines style and function with beautiful wood accents and a plush reclining seat that swings back and forth and side to side. Younger babies prefer to rock side to side but I imagine that older babies might bet a little 'sea-sick' swinging side to side so bath and forth seems more comfortable for them.
The Zen Collection swing is sturdy and has exceptional features. Most of our rooms are full or dark wood furniture so I would have loved to have the Zen swing instead of the bright colored swing with a metal base, that we had for Madelyn two years ago. She loved sitting in her swing. The Zen swing has a variety of gentle songs and musical styles that will stimulate baby’s auditory sense or instantly calm her down.
The entire seat is removable so you can carry it from room to room and the fabric is machine washable. The Zen swing is the first (that I know of) to have a plug-in option which is a huge money saver!
The maximum weight is 25lbs which equates to an average of two years old. I doubt a two year old will sit in a swing very long, or at all, but the possibility is there.
Price: around $200
