Baby Products Reviews of Fisher Price Cradle n Swing, My Little Lamb
Customer Review: Great investment overall
Summary: 5 Stars
Okay, I got this swing in October of 2010 and so far both my daughter and son have used this swing.
1. The swing itself is very cute and looks very comfortable. Neither of my kids seem to mind it- ;-) they both take long naps while in it.
2. Although the lamb model does not have an adapter and therefore only runs on batteries, it isn't a battery eater. I think I've changed the batteries twice since my son was born in mid-January and it's now April. I use this swing at least 3 hours a day.
3. I like that there are a lot of speed settings for the swing. As my child gets older and heavier the swing will need to be placed on the higher settings and will still work well.
4. The cover is removable and washable. It's been washed many, many times and it still looks brand new. I was hesitant since it's white, but as I said, it still looks new and this is #2 using it.
5. I love that it has volume control and several sound settings, some are music, others are nature sounds.
I am very glad I received this swing as a shower gift- it has been very useful for both my children. When I factor in the cost of the swing with how much I use it and how useful it is, it's a great deal.

I think this is probably the best baby swing out there on the market. It is especially great for newborns. My lil' one sleeps best in this swing because it is so comforting and swaddling-like. Since it is so scooped when in the fully reclined position, I do not have to buckle baby in which is great for sleeping.
The only dislikes I have are that when it is in its slowest on position, the swing is still pretty fast. I weight it down with extra blankets/towels to slow down the swing. Also, I wish it had a power extension cord for plug-in like some of the other swings on the market. I also wish the music/mobile stayed on longer without having to be reset, but this isn't a huge deal.
The cover is extremely soft and cozy and baby likes this.
I also got a great deal on this swing through Amazon and saved a ton compared to the big retailers.
I would recomend this swing to anyone looking for a swing for a newborn. It looks like it will be good later on too when baby is bigger and the seat is reclined to a more forward position. It is great that the safety bar can come on and off, especially since it isn't needed now while baby is so little.
BEST SWING OUT THERE!

It wasn't until our baby was around 2-3 months that he could sit comfortably in this swing. His head would eventually lean down that it looked like he was having trouble breathing. There is the noise factor, but i think it eventually lulls my little guy asleep. We have changed the batteries twice in hopes that the mobile and music would work. They worked for a day or two, and then quit on us. The mobile squeaks so much that i turned it off. In my opinion neither one is necessary. The toy tray thingy is also pointless. He has no interest in the toys at all.
At 5 months now, about 27 inches and 16lbs, he is getting cramped in there. While i think the pillow head cradle is cute, I wish you could remove it because he doesn't need it now.
Finally the thing just stops swinging or starts squeaking for whatever reason. If I play with the legs a bit it usually stops the squeaking or gets it moving again.
That being said, he loves to sleep in it. I actually got a 2 hour nap out of him while he was in it. But i think he would do that in any swing. If i could do it all over again, I would have gotten a different one.
Customer Review: Lifesaver!!!!! Love this swing!

My wife and I read all the reviews on this swing before we bought it and we almost didn't get it and I'm soooo glad we did! Our 3 week old little girl sleeps best in the swing because its so soft and makes her feel secure. We have let her start sleeping in it during the night even since she can't get comfortable in her co sleeper right now and it extends the length of her sleeping, which is great for my wife and me. The only thing that we had a problem with at first was, when we came home with her from the hospital she couldn't fit in it yet, however, she was only 4lbs and very small. She is now 6lbs and its just right for her. It doesn't swing to much or too little. We do use the lowest setting right now but its perfect. If it seems to swing to much, we put a blanket over our baby's lap and it slows it down a little. Oh, and the batteries have lasted for 3 weeks so far and still going. We use it for hours everyday...we use the mobile, music, and the swing all at the same time. I do like the fact that the mobile and music will cut off after a while on its own, that way the batteries last longer. Overall, we would recommend this swing to everyone!!!!Customer Review: LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!

When we announced our pregnancy, all of our friends told us we NEEDED a swing so we bought the Starlight version of this swing and had it assembled before he was born. For the first 3 weeks of his life, he absolutely hated the swing and cried every single time we put him in it. I thought we had wasted our money. Well, we tried it again when he was just over 3 weeks old, and I don't know what happened, but all of the sudden it became his favorite place to take a nap. He falls asleep almost immediately when we put him in the swing. If your baby hates this swing at first, don't give up on it! I'm so glad we didn't pack it away.
I also love that the Starlight version can be plugged in. We have this thing going for hours at a time, so it's nice to not have to change batteries even though we have to maneuver around the power cord in our kitchen.
For those who are concerned about the color, the mobile toys and pillow are baby blue, but the cushion, the fabric that's lining the net, and the dials are lilac. We have a boy, and the color doesn't bother us, but online it looks like it's all blue.
