Baby Products Reviews of Fisher Price Cradle n Swing, My Little Lamb
Customer Review: Waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I registered for this swing for my son as it was one of the few non-feminine swings I could find. I thought it was very cute & gender neutral. I have been extremely disappointed. The motor on it is a joke and what's worse, we exchanged it & had the same problems so I know it isn't just one bad swing. The motor is loud enough that we thought it was broken when we first tried it out, but what's worse is it barely has the power to swing my 12 pound son. Literally, if I leave it to swing on its own, it swings ONE INCH either way with my son in it & he is only half the recommended weight capacity. Even when he was newly born (8 lb's), it barely swung him. So I sit by the swing & push it manually. Also, the recline is not flat enough for a newborn because my son's head rolls forward & he slumps in the chair no matter what I do. Not only would I not buy this swing again, but after all the product recalls I've seen in the news, I'd be reluctant to purchase anything Fisher-Price in the future.Customer Review: Pretty cute and thats about it...

I am big on reading reviews before making a purchase, so I thought I should let people know about this swing. First of all, what sold me was that in the pictures it looked as though the swing lit up. Now, in hindsight looking at the item on the page it does not light up. That would be the picture to the "starlight" swing mixed in with the pictures of the lamb swings pictures. Not sure if that would be amazons mistake or what! Anyway, I thought that it is still cute and I would keep it. My husband put it together and we put brand new batteries straight from the package in the swing, and what do ya know it doesnt swing. It is very disappointing considering we waited about 8 or 9 days for the swing to get here. I guess my next step is to contact Fisher Price about a possible motor problem, although the mobile and music work.... Not sure what the problem is but I can say that for the money and waiting time I am very disappointed. The swing is so cute and cozy, if only the darn thing worked!Customer Review: Annoying grinding noise -- pick a different swing
Summary: 2 Stars
This swing would be great except for the awful griding noise it makes when operating. On moms' boards online, moms said the noise could go away by:
- adding weight to the swing -- didn't work for us
- waiting (the swing will make the noise until it gets up to speed, then stop)-- didn't work for us
- exchanging the swing (not all of them make the noise)
- calling Fisher Price for a motor replacement (babycenter.com moms noted the FP site cited "performance problems" with the swing and would send a replacement motor)
Given that the swing never operated for us without this annoying noise, I can't give it more than two stars. Now we have a three-week old baby who can't use the swing, and the last thing we want to do is buy more swings at the store to exchange it (requires multiple swing set ups) or spend time on the phone with Fisher Price customer support.
Save yourself a headache and buy a different swing.
Customer Review: Don't know what i would do without it!
Summary: 5 Stars
i love this swing! the best investment we've made into our baby-boy so far! it's so nice and soft, my son falls asleep within the first 5 minutes in it! Sometimes we just leave him there to hang out & get a little time out for ourselves and i can tell how much he enjoys it! i recently stopped night feeding, so when he wakes up in the middle of the night, i just place him inside the swing and go back to sleep for at least another 3-4 hours! And he already knows it, so as soon as I place him in, he falls asleep right away! Amazing purchase, and if you get good batteries (i use Duracell only), this will last you for at least good 3 weeks, considering that my baby spends at least 4-5 hours a day in it!
I wouldn't recommend to start using it before your little one is at least 2 months old, since my doctor told me that it's not good for the baby's spine and it's better that the baby lays on flat and firm mattress for the first 8-10 weeks.
Customer Review: AMAZING SWING!! Life saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
We purchased this swing about a week after my daughter was born. The shape of the seat, is deep enough I felt comfortable placing her inside- she only weight about 6 lbs. The swing itself is quite, the music is lovely and the material is soft and the structure is sturdy. I never had any problems with our swing and we used it SOLID for 9 months. My daughter was very ill and the swing seemed to provide her enough relief she was able to sleep. That being said- we went through a lot of batteries. I wish it would have came with an AC adapter plug- but that's with most any swing. Some friends of ours purchased the same swing and had to take it back to Babies R Us because it quit swinging. They did however exchange it for the same exact swing and all is well. I think Fisher Price makes great products. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this swing again. NEVER had any problems with it over heating or glowing, per some other reviews.
