My Little Lamb™ Cradle ’n Swing

Sometimes your little one likes being held over your shoulder. Sometimes on your knee. Other times, she wants to be cradled in your arms as you rock her side-to-side or back-and-forth. But for the times you need to put baby down, here’s a swing that cradles and swings, soothes and entertains her just the way she likes it! It surrounds her in plush, cozy fabrics and a canopy that cocoons her. The soothing continues with eight tunes and a side-to-side cradle motion, a lot like the way you rock her in your arms. When your little lamb is ready for play, the swinging changes to a back-and-forth motion (because babies love variety) and she’s engaged with nature sound tracks and a mobile featuring a mirror, floating clouds and little lambs to entertain her. Includes six soothing swing speeds, little plush friend tethered right to the removable tray, and bead bar. Sturdy steel frame has legs that fold in for storage and portability. Requires 4 D batteries. Weight Limit: 25 lbs. (11.3 kg) Developmental Guidelines: Use cradle swing from birth until a child becomes active and can climb out of the seat. Better for Baby… Soothes Soothing music and alternate swinging motions help calm baby and promotes a sense of security. Plush fabrics enhance baby’s sense of security by providing comfort. Seeing baby’s own image in the mirror encourages self-recognition, enhancing emotional development. Engages Seeing baby’s own reflection and other objects in mirrored globe stimulates baby’s visual sense. Rich fabrics and textures stimulate baby’s tactile sense. Watching and anticipating motion of lambs and clouds fosters visual tracking skills. Listening to nature sounds as well as musical selections strengthens auditory skills. Better for Mom… Choice of three positions in one swing—variety for baby and convenience when you want baby facing you! Easy to convert from one position to another. Folds for storage and portability.

Life/Sleep Saver
March 6, 2013
"For a while, it's the only thing that my now 5 month old would sleep in. It has done wonders for us and i'd recommend this product to anybody! The settings are perfect, and the music and sounds are great and put my little man right to sleep. Also comes with a toy tray that snaps on and off that was perfect! And it also sits up so he can sit up and play as he's gotten older and enjoys being more alert and involved with whats going on in the house. Perfect swing. I plan on keeping it around for my next child."

Best Swing ever
February 25, 2013
"I received this as a gift from family when my daughter was born 2 years ago and I am still using it today with my 6 month old son. It was a lifesaver in the beginning as it often rocked both of them to sleep. The soft material is very nice, and they really loved the mobile part. Used it everyday with both kids until about 7 months when they got to heavy for it and could sit up."

The Creme de la Creme of Swings
February 21, 2013
"Purchased this swing used, was only 5 months old when we bought it for our daughter. So it was pretty much new. Love the unique style of the swing, the music, the adorable mobile. Batteries actually last! What can I say its the creme de la creme of swings that fisher Price has ever made :) My daughter loves it!!!"

Great Gift
January 6, 2013
"My aunt bought this for me when I had my first one and it was such a lifesaver. We kept it for our second one and it still works great. We use it for little naps and when we have to fold laundry or do the dishes. It is easy to move from room to room. Very comfortable for the baby. I wish it came with a pink lamb to add some girl color. Worth the investment."

decent swing; poor battery life; poor motor
November 29, 2012
"The battery life on this swing only lasts about 12 hours with top quality batteries. Also, the power of the motor to actually swing with a baby weighing more than 15lbs is poor.
We elected to swing it by hand rather than constantly change out batteries. The kids both LOVED the swing as it is VERY comfy and puts them out like a light! When my daughter wasn't feeling well, the swing was the ONLY thing that would get her to rest.
Next time we will be purchasing a different swing... sold this online...if there is a next time. =)"

sad
November 26, 2012
"I purchased this swing for my 10lb 2month old baby and i am very unhaapy about how it swings when i place him in the swing. Without him the swing works just fine but when i place him in the seat the swing barrley moves even on the highest speed. My baby really likes motion and when the swing slows down he starts to cry and i have to hand push the swing. I had such high hopes for this swing because i know my little one would like it. Im sad to say i feel like it was a waste of money.This swing will be going back to the store I need a swing that actually swings!!!!"

Peace at last!
November 5, 2012
"I absolutely love this swing! When my little one has a tummy ache, I turn it to the swing position (front to back). Otherwise, she seems to prefer the cradle position (side to side). It's easy to use, easy to move, easy to change positions. The mobile has individual arms that move up and down as well as circular, and my babe seems to be fascinated with the dome mirror in the middle. There are lots of songs and sound options. You can have just the mobile, just music, just swing or any combination. This also has volume control. The soft sound it makes when it swings back and forth seem to comfort the baby. This just provides a much needed break when on or both of us is tired from rocking, walking, or bouncing. I would definitely buy this again."

A lifesaver
October 22, 2012
"We bought this swing for my first child back in 2010. She was incredibly colicky and wouldn't go in the carseat, stroller, vibrating seat or cradle without screaming. The only thing she would settle down in from time to time was this swing. She ended up taking naps in it daily for a few months when she wouldn't nap laying down in the crib. Any amount of time she would spend in the swing was amazing as she rarely let me put her down. We probably used it 3 or 4 months for her. I just had my 2nd child 8 months ago and he has used the swing the entire 8 months. He will sit happily in it and play, and takes naps in it sometimes. He was sick for a couple months after birth and being able to have him at a slight incline in the swing was great for his congestion. It was also nice to have someplace for him to rest without his toddler sister trying to attack him the first few months as we taught her boundaries around the baby. We burn through the batteries pretty quick this time around as my son has spent a lot of time in the swing, but it is well worth it. We have been using the swing for a total of a year between the 2 kids and wouldn't have survived without it! It is time to pack it away again and I am having withdrawals just thinking about not having it around to put my son in from time to time. Ha ha.
For anyone that is having trouble with the swing not speeding up or having to pushed to keep going, check and make sure the legs are pushed as far apart as they will go. If they are even a couple inches narrower than they should be, the swing will not work correctly. Pull the legs at the floor part to widen them as much as you can to get it working."

Excellent while it lasted
October 18, 2012
"I bought the My Little Lamb Cradle & Swing in March of 2010 for my then 3 month old son. He used it for only 2 1/2 or 3 months until he could sit up at about 5 1/2 months, after which we stored it away for the next baby. Fast forward to June, 2012 and the swing was finally able to be used again for our daughter. She is just now 4 months old and 14 pounds (way under the weight limit) and the motor died tonight.
We don't use the swing more that 2-3 hours a day total, so it surprised me that it went out only after 6-7 months of combined use. I'm hoping that there is a part available, as we can't afford a new swing. I would have, and did, expect the swing to last longer than this, especially because of the reputation of the company and normally high quality of their products.
We've never had any issues with batteries being used up quickly, as that was something I was prepared for with a battery-operated swing. I've been using rechargeable batteries since we bought the swing in 2010, and they've lasted longer than the motor.
Overall, I love this swing. It's been life-saver for me and my babies, and I'm so sad that it doesn't swing anymore. I'd absolutely recommend a newer version of this swing, maybe the Snugabunny or SnugaMonkey, to an expectant friend, if the motor issues have been fixed. It's easy to clean, quiet, and seems pretty comfortable for the baby. And it's nice that the tray is removable."

Disappointed
October 16, 2012
"We purchased this swing in 2010 with the birth of our first child. He only used the swing for 3 months. We then stored it in the attic. When we had our twins we took down the swing and someone gave us another swing. Our twins are 4 months old and they love the swing!! However, after changing the batteries several times, which costs a fortune, both swings have stopped swinging. Our twins are 15 and 14 pounds so they are well within the weight limit. I find it very disappointing that the swings have only lasted 7 months max before the motor seemed to have died. The swings seem pricey for little quaility and/or durability. My twins love to sleep in their swings because it offers them the "snuggly" feeling while providing comfort, but it does us no good if it can't be utilized as a regular swing. They have reflux and this swing helps keep them in an upright position
after reading many other reviews it appears that there is an issue with the quality of the swings motor. I feel that the company needs to address this.

LOVE!!!
October 3, 2012
"I love this swing and so does my 4 month old! It does have some issues getting the swing going but once it starts it goes for awhile. My son loves the music and mobile on it. It is very entertaining for him. I was just wondering if it is possible to purchase a new cover and straps? This one is stained with formula spit up and is very unattractive to look at."

Very cute, soft & cozy
September 13, 2012
"Received this swing as a shower gift that I had registered for because I thought it was super cute in the store. It's very soft and looks comfy. The mobile and music are very cute and the little dash with the toys seems to be enjoyable for my lil guy. He seems to like it so far (he's 3 months) but the swing feature works pretty poorly. The different speeds don't change the way it swings at all and I have to give it a lil push every few minutes to keep it going. I have changed the batteries thinking that could be the problem but it didn't make a difference. It is also very large, which I should've considered when I registered for it. It takes up a lot of space, so if you have a tiny house or apartment it may not be for you. All and all my LO seems to like it though, he's pretty calm in there!"

Had high hopes, but...
July 7, 2012
"We were so excited about this swing when we bought it for our son. It was great at first, but as he got bigger, the performance of the swing diminished. He was no where near the maximum weight limit when we had to stop using the swing around 5 months. The swing still worked (when there wasn't a baby in it), so we packed it up and put it in the attic to save for future babies. Our daughter is 4 months old and it appears the motor has gone out on the swing. She is about 14 pounds, so again no where near the maximum weight limit. Both kids have loved this swing, but the quality and durability is just not there. We put brand new batteries in the swing yesterday (Friday) afternoon, and it has stopped working today (Saturday). Very disappointed right now."

poor quality swing
June 28, 2012
"I recieved the swing for my son and he used it only the first 3 months and I seemed like I always had to have it on last knotch so it would swing and I was always change batteries thinking it was that and then I put it away until my daughter was born and she has used it 2 months and then It died the the music and the mobile works but the swing will not move Extremely unhappy I think for 150.00 the swing should last a lot longer then maybe 5 months of use and it was not used 5 months in a row or everyday very poor quality"

ups and downs
June 6, 2012
"I received the swing as a baby shower gift for our first son a few years ago. He loved it! We loved the fact that it was a neutral color for future children. The only complaints we had was there is no real distinction between any of the speeds. Also, now that we have another child the music and mobile work but the swinging motion doesn't. The swing was been very well cared for so we are very upset that our daughter is unable to enjoy it."

"The swing was purchased in December & now 4 months later the swing will not work. Music and mobile work fine, but swing, which was very noisy to start with will not function. I don't know if there is a replacement motor or not. Waste of money! Very disappointed in this product."

my daughter loves it
April 5, 2012
"My daughter has slept in her swing since we pretty much brought her home from the hospital. She has had some issues with reflux and really doesn't sleep well laying level on her back. This swing is so easy to clean and actually move from room to room. However the only major downfall that I see in it, is that it does not come with an A/C adapter to plug into the wall. It eats batteries like crazy. I go through batteries about every week and a half with this thing. I wish there was an option to have a plug for it. The motor is a little loud but when it gets going steady it quiets down(on the fastest speed) when you stop it, its loud again as it gains momentum. Its not too loud that my fiance' and I can't sleep through it. This was by far the best gift we recieved for our new baby. It is great because it is pretty gender neutral. I am using it for my daughter now and will save it for any future children ;-D"

Would not recommend to anyone
April 1, 2012
"We received this swing as a gift at my baby shower in September and six months later it barely works. It is working so hard just to swing a tiny bit and I'm sure it is going to give up completely any day now. The motor has always been extremely loud. The swing speeds are basically All the same and one speed doesn't even work. There are loud clicks at the apex of each swing and although the baby doesn't seem to mind it drives me Crazy! One leg lifts and slams down on the floor no matter how far apart i pull the legs. The only good thing this swing has going for it is the comfortable plush cover although i wish the head rest was detachable."

It's a piece
March 31, 2012
"I bought this swing in December in preparation for my sons arrival. It looked comfortable and I loved that it has multiple swinging positions. However, my son is three weeks old now and it has already died. The music will turn on but sounds horrid. The motor itself will turn on just to randomly shut off soon after. That's when it turns on at all. My son is only 8lbs so that shouldn't be an issue and we have changed batteries to no avail. I am severely disappointed with this product in almost every aspect."
