It's a baby propping contraption... [/quote]

And a crib is a baby prison where you can leave the child to cry, so should good daycares not have cribs?

Babies can't be left to cry in their cribs, by law but good try. And we have webcam access so I can see that this is absolutely not the case.

We had both a swing and an exersaucer at our own home.  My child didn't live in either one, but did get time in each as part of her day.  If any caregiver, parent or otherwise, leaves a child in one of these to cry rather than tending to their needs, then yes it is awful.  As part of a day full of varied activities and viewpoints for a child, it's totally fine.

And I say this as a PP with a very high-need baby who hated sleeping in a crib and wanted to be held constantly.[/quote][/quote]

I'm the PP who said "no cribs".  I was being facetious in response to the PP who categorically who called things "baby propping contraptions".  My point is that a child shouldn't be left to cry anywhere - whether a crib, a swing, a bouncy seat, a jumperoo - regardless of who is providing the care.  The presence or absence of these things doesn't in and of itself tell you anything about the quality of the care.[/quote]
