Which models have AC power adapter? The way seemingly different swings are all presented under the same heading is confusing.

No, we got the Precious Planet swing first but then returned it and got the Rainforest Swing, which does have an AC adapter.

I'm sorry that this happened to you! I just sent the following to Amazon's help contact:"Please take a look at this discussion: http://www.amazon.com/gp/forum/cd/discussion.html/ref=cm_cd_notf_thread?ie=UTF8&cdForum;=Fx151S1X8UGZEYN&cdPage;=1&asin;=B0001IU5HY&cdThread;=Tx3C6EXIPCJFFXL# and consider listing these Fisher Price swings seperately rather than under one heading. The features (battery operated only vs. plug in option) are too disparate to have all under one heading. It took research on my part to figure this out and as the discussion indicates, someone was unhappy with their purchase as a result of the listing confusion.Thanks!"We'll see...

I did find the directions on how to modify the battery operated swings to the ac adapter. It definately will not look manufacturer quality, however the money you spend in batteries will be worth it. http://russelldad.blogspot.com/http://russelldad.blogspot.com/2007/09/baby-swing-batteries-be-gone.html

If it helps anybody, I just received the Nature's Touch (N1973) version of the Fisher-Price Papasan Cradle Swing and it does NOT have an AC adapter. It takes batteries only. I think Amazon should not group all of these swings together. I read the reviews on Amazon and was excited to think that my model would come with an AC adapter.

You are just plain wrong. Here is the url for the fisher price website description of the butterfly garden swing: http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=2011&e;=detail&selcat;=bgsw&pid;=38821Prominently, in quotes, it says, "p.s. You can also plug it in and save on batteries!"Maybe, you don't get what I am saying. Amazon has grouped a disparate group of swings under one heading. The butterfly and starlight swings have ac power. Whether any of the others do is unclear, but Fisher Price doesn't make claims about THOSE models having AC power.

There's now an update on how to do the AC adaptation that looks even nicer:http://russelldad.blogspot.com/2009/02/guest-post-baby-swing-batteriesplug.html If you're comfortable with a soldering gun, it looks pretty straightforward!

Thanks for your efforts. My wife was also confused by the information and disappointed when we found out that ours does not include an AC adapter. Not sure why Fisher Price would make one without an adapter in this day and age, especially when it is only a few bucks cost to them.

Does anyone know if the Fisher Price Precious Planet Swing (1001124) has an AC adaptor (plug in)?

For those that purchased an ac adapter...where on the unit does it connect? I can't seem to find a plug connector anywhere. Also, what model adapter did you purchase? This unit would be perfect IF I can power it thru an outlet. Thank you very much! - Brian

That is the rub with tablets: they all seem to use a proprietary power plug, and adapter. The one with the Acer Iconia is actually a micro usb, but they have it attached to the cord in a proprietary way and the power adapter is unique to the Iconia. So, if you need a second one, order it from Acer or elsewhere online. I actually broke the one that came with the unit by forgetting it was plugged in, picking it up and walking away with it plugged in. Which broke the plugin part. I ordered a second one, which showed up before the tablet's battery was depleted.

Although the unit comes with an AC adapter it's for charging only and for some reason does not allow direct AC use. I found this out the hard way as the batteries do not carry a charge longer than a couple weeks and I tried plugging in and using. Only when the battery was charged could I use it.

I am not aware of this unit offering an optional AC adapter...Mine came with batteries only and battery power is the only way to make it work...

Yes, it has both plug in and battery capabilities. The cord is also pretty long, so it doesn't have to be right next to the outlet. It's not as loud as some other swings, so this is definitely one of the better ones on the market.

I just bought the 10 lbs version and there is no AC plug, I should have read more of the answers and waited to buy the adapter, time to call up Amazon.

It uses an AC adaptor that isn't included in the 'ribbon edition' so you don't need a plug adaptor. As far as I know, you can use a normal British AC adaptor. However, I was so excited when mine arrived that I couldn't wait to buy an adaptor and just put batteries in. That was over six months ago and I haven't had to change them yet. I did a lot of research on label printers before deciding on this one and I really do think it's brilliant - both as a normal label maker and especially for making ribbons.

Hi Phil, For some reason when I order this Unit I was sent a device that was set-up for International / Other Countries. The Unit came with an AC Adapter / Charger that had the plugs that are common in Europe, included also in the box was an AC Converter adapter to match and mate with the plugs used in the USA. This caused a whole series of problems for me because it wouldn't re-charge the Battery beyond 65%. When I spoke to Sony the service people told me to do an entire Software System Upgrade. I followed their directions and it did not solve the problem. Only until I used my Computer to Charge the Tablet did I determine that the International version charger along with the US Converter was the problem. I have requested from Sony that they send me a normal USA version AC Charger Unit and its coming in the mail. So my advise to you if you're in the States is to make sure they don't send you a Unit that is sold abroad (i.e. Internationally).

Mine actually has an AC adapter so we plug it in to use it. I heard the rechargeable ones didn't work too well.

Not sure what you are looking for; are you saying that you want a Bluetooth adapter with an AC adapter rather than one that only uses batteries? If so then this is the unit that fits that criteria. This unit only works with a wall AC adapter, battery operation is not an option. The AC adapter, included with this unit, has a 6 foot cord, so it gives you some flexibility.

Have to have a way to charge the battery - - I bought extra battery from ebay. I found it easier to find another whole unit WITH battery charger for about the same price listed as charger. Fisher-Price discontinued that toy about 5 years ago and new chargers are not available. Design has it so no two such toys will have interchangeable charger. We entertained a lot of elderly people in a senior building. No one had ever seen this toy and thoroughly enjoyed it. After we tired of it, I gave it to a kid. Enjoy.

While it looks the same I have found 2 differences - Yours has a clip to hang it in a collar/shirt pocket and a battery charger is available. Personally I had never heard of this one till now but you are right they do look the same. I have bought ours from Needs and online and the 2 I bought online ended up not working. I sent them back and was given a full refund but a restocking charge which I disputed and won a $27 plus refund. Please buy from a reputable dealer as I am leery after my experience. We love the product we bought and have used them for years but I think this price is high (never paid over $99.00) but I think I will follow it and wait for a sale. Thank-you for sharing this and let me know if you buy it and how it works. Joy

Hi Brittany, I am not sure on that difference between swings. I just ordered one that came up and I don't know that mine has that option, it might be something new that they added to swing. I know mine can turn to swing sideways or forward swing. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. I do know that this swing is very quiet and it has the option to plug into wall, which saves huge on batteries. My baby loved it from newborn to up to 4 months, but he got too big for it by then and also had other interests. When they are little though it helps them to take a nice nap and gives Mommy a break too.

Just curious there seems to be different answers. Does this unit come with an AC adapter

I just received from Amazon what apparently is the older, A version, and am returning it because it's defective--it turns itself off for no reason. (Amazon's shoddy packaging job probably didn't help.)Will I get the the version B model (HKGOPLAY5BLK) if I ask them to replace it? Both versions are showing delivery in 2 to 4 weeks; do they still have stock of the older models?

I just received mine last week and put it together over the weekend. When I went to plug it in, I found that it came with a British plug (type G from this link: http://www.kropla.com/electric.htm). Luckily, I had an travel adapter. No luck though because the console beeps repeatedly when I plug it in. It looks like it's trying to boot up, beeps once, then shuts down. This cycle repeats repeatedly every few seconds. Could I have gotten an European model? Anyone else have this problem?
