I bought this for my nephew and I have to tell you, the seat is so soft and cuddly, I wish I could fit in it.

My nephew adores it, he just sinks right into it and you can see on his face how relaxed he is, and there are so many features that this soothing center comes with - I mean it's pretty high tech - not like what we had when we were little.

This list was taken from the product description because I didn't want to leave anything out. Each of these features are so amazing:

# Motion: Moves like you do. Four unique seating positions that imitate how you hold your baby. Four cradling motions create four distinct sensations. Three recline positions offer comfortable choices for a growing baby. Six speeds allow you to choose the right amount of movement for your baby's mood. Removable carrier doubles as a floor rocker

# Touch: Comforts of the womb. Two-speed vibration calms and relaxes with a subtle baby massage. Integrated swaddling blanket gives your baby the safe, secure feeling of being held. Five-point harness provides gentle ventral pressure that reassures your baby like a hug

# Sound: What a newborn expects to hear. Comforting low-frequency sounds recreate in utero sound experience like the heart beat, white noise and underwater sounds. High-quality music offers sleep songs for quiet times or up-beat songs for alert times. MP3 plug-in connection and holder for creating a customized baby playlist. Nature sounds including wind, rain, ocean waves and more

# Sight: Newborns need visual simplicity. Adjustable canopy to control light and limit visual stimulation. Mirror to help baby settle by focusing on her own reflection. Calming neutral colors contribute to the soothing environment

# Scent: Your scent calms your baby. Removable soft components like the swaddle blanket and head support can be infused with mom's scent.
I mean really what more can you ask for. They have definitely come a long way from the crank handle swings.

Absolutely worth the money!!!
