It's the Fisher-Price Infant to Toddler Rocker. He really seems to like it and the combination of rocking and vibration help to calm him, when he's upset. One nice thing is that it is good up to toddler age, where it converts to a chair.<br /><br /><br /><br /><iframe src="http://rcm.amazon.com/e/cm?t=osbornecentral-20&o=1&p=8&l=as1&asins=B0002ZOI9W&fc1=000000&IS2=1&lt1=_blank&lc1=0000FF&bc1=000000&bg1=FFFFFF&f=ifr" style="width:120px;height:240px;" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" frameborder="0"></iframe><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-3891167022654879"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_ad_type = "text"; //2007-08-27: Feeds google_ad_channel = "6121452646"; google_ui_features = "rc:6"; //--> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script></div>John B.

The bed sets up in about 5 seconds and I had it on the floor bedside of our bed and could look down at Greyson through the night.
