Fisher-Price My Little Lamb Cradle ’n Swing

One of the most valuable baby purchases – This has been a lifesaver for both my children. It is well made and sturdy.. and lovely and plush fabric which washes well. Adjustment is firm but won’t budge accidentally when baby is swinging. If feet ends aren’t on it will slide/walk across tiles slightly! Baby usually falls asleep very calmly and while at times, it doesn’t help depending on… Read more

mood etc, it’s still a lifesaver majority of times used. Can get up to 3 hours sleep during the day which won’t happen during the day anywhere else. I co sleep at night and my daughters struggle to sleep during the day without me but obviously not with this. Still using at 6 months and should be for a few more months.

Another plus... when my eldest daughter finished with it 7 years ago I cleaned it and packed into the roof. I took it out this year to use for baby number 2 and it was still in beautiful new condition and the energizer max D (takes 4) were still working. I got another 4 months use of them when it’s used at least once every 2-3 days and sometimes daily. Worth getting the good batteries! Definitely up there with top baby purchases.. necessary if money permits.

Should've bought this for our first baby – We bought this for our 3rd baby (1 month old), as it is getting too hectic for my wife to take care of the two kids (4 y.o and 2 y.o) and a newborn when her mother is not in Australia. It had a noticeable "grug...grug...grug" sound when the pivot mechanism swings. I was a bit afraid that this might irritate our baby. But to my amazement, the… Read more

baby sleeps like a log, the noise seems to work as background noise (our baby loves background noise). After breast feeding, we put the baby on the swing, put some soft music on from our wireless speaker, and like magic, the baby would sleep for hours. Before, baby needs to be constantly carried by the Grandma all day & night.

Now my wife have the time to do the house works and care the two older kids without having to carry/settle the baby. Now we can even have a peaceful family dinner together. Before, I have to carry a baby on one hand and eat with the other hand.

The swing mechanism seems to draw very little current from the battery, as it still rocks for another 3 weeks with low battery, while the in-built music player & rotating/mobile toys stops working.

When baby couldn't sleep, my wife can put him on the swing for 10-15 minutes to do her stuff, before she needs to carry him again. It works. Baby sleeps contently for 2 - 4 hours, 3 - 5 times per day. Seems to draw very little current from the battery. A happy wife. The noise on the swing mechanism is repetitive and can be annoying to adults, had to drown it with the soft music. The support legs moves slightly as the swing rocks left-right, doesn't stay fixed on the tile floor.

The best thing we bought! – This swing was a god sent. I really don't kno how we would have survived the first few months without it! My baby suffered from reflux and wouldn't sleep in the bassinet or cot as it was too flat and didn't help with his reflux. The cradle swing was upright enough (when in the laying position) to keep him propped up to keep his feeds down and the… Read more

swinging soothed him to sleep quickly. My baby slept in this for the first 10 weeks, day and night. The only cons I have are that it takes batteries and doesn't have a power source like many other swings. We went through a packet of D batteries each week. We would have spent over $150 in batteries for this swing! It also struggled with his weight once he reached 9 kgs. I don't think the weight limit is accurate at all listed at 11kgs. He also struggled to fit into the seat after 9kgs. The 2 seat positions, snug cradle, side to side front to back swing options, it's cute! Its big, only takes batteries, weight limit more like 9kgs not 11kgs as stated.

I need a replacement safety strap and cant get one – Please help me find a strap for my cradle, all my grandchildren have used this wonderful baby cradle and loved it but i now need a strap so it can be passed on to my next grandchild due in may 2020 Show details

Perfect – Loved it saved me so much when Doing things around the house and bub loved it only device that he would go to sleep in was awesome would recommend although which the buttons showed numbers for different speeds

Great baby swing – This swing has been a life saver. My baby loved it. It is so handy to put baby in while I was cooking or cleaning. He would also have short naps in it when he was young. Batteries last for ages too. All of the material comes off to it can be washed

Lots of features – I love how many features this swing has. It plays white noise sounds and swings at different speeds. The swing can be positioned on the side or front on. It has a removable tray and overhead toys that spin. The legs are a bit wide if you only have a small space in the house but it is a good swing and very comfortable for baby and easy to wash covers and clean plastic parts with removable covers.

Perfect but – This is a magical. My little 5weeks old settled in a second when we put her down in this swing. She can sleep over 3 hours without uncomfortable moving or creaming. But, i dont know whether it is good for her back and her height growing? Anyone knows the answer please let me know Many many many thanks

Good swing – This was a necessity for our newborn as we couldnt put her down anywhere without her crying or feeling like shes going to fall off. Great angle and plushness of seat, and sturdily built. Im disappointed to hear its been discontinued. This was much better than other brands that do similar swings (eg Ingenuity).

Necessary cheating – This is one of the best baby products we have, whenever our little one is unsettled, put her straight in here, rock her for 15-20 mins, and she's out like a lamp shade. Extremely happy with the purchase, even though it is second hand. Thanks. *Note, requires heavy duty batteries

Doesn't swing very much – Very slow to start, doesn't swing very far, makes a noise, , i bought secondhand only 6 mths old , previous owner stated the same thing when we questioned her after buying. Useless unless you manually push it . Other friend bought new one, stated the same thing, really bit stupid

Was definitely worth the money! – My son would only sleep in this some nights when he was first born. Was a lifesaver, sanity saver! First time mum and it helped me cope with the sleepless nights :-)

life saver! – Love this swing! we have two babies close together and really cannot live without this swing!! when our son who is 1 1/2 needs attention, I can just put our 3 month bubba in here to sleep. she gets around 3 hours at a time. could definitely not live without it!!!

So Good You'll Want To Write A Thankyou Letter – This product is an absolute life/marriage saver. You will cry when it runs out of battery ( so always keep spares on hand! ). You will want to write a Thankyou letter to the manufacturer. Put my baby to sleep without fail. He loved the rotating toys above as a newborn and then the music as he got older. Foldable to take on holidays. Noisy but baby doesn't mind so you get used to it.

Made for newborns only – My daughter loved the bright stars swing we had for her it was a second hand one that broke so we purchased this and she doesnt like it at all. she likes to sit slightly forward so she can see everyone this product doesnt allow that and the mobile is very large and in your face and cant be moved out of the way. The motor makes alot of noise and when it starts off swining it stops then starts back up again?

Great swing!! – Fantastic device, has saved me so much time. My first born wasn't a huge fan, but it was still useful but my second babe loves it and will fall asleep wheneva I put her in it. I've set mine up in the kitchen so I can pop her in when I'm doing dinner etc or let her have a little sleep in there when I'm doing things with the other kids. I would… Read more

suggest every mum gets one of these!!!! Comfy, can change positions, Cover is a bit hard to remove in those "explosion" moments..

Best product, it's my nanny!!!! – Oh my god did this swing save me! I was worried when my husband returned to work after his parental leave as my baby always wanted to be held ( thanks to her dad ) as I had no idea how to juggle my home duties and be a loving mum. Baby cried if she wasn't held by someone and being first time mum, you can panic at times. Saying all this, the swing… Read more

solved my problem. It was the best $240 I had spent. Keep in mind when it's your first, you find that you buy so much stuff that you don't even need. But the swing, I recommend to any parent. Seriously, all the daily use that comes from it, it's like spending $1 a day for a nanny.

Easy transportation, bit bulky and heavy but worth it. Easy to wash. Batteries last a while using Duracell. Buy cheap batteries and it won't last. Totally worth every cent. Helpful and reliable Bit noisy, but my daughter got used to it and never bothered her.

Amazing !! Solved so many problems – The best $242 I have ever spent on my 3 month old we bought this swing after reaserching different swings on the Internet and thought this one would be the best our little one does not like to be put down threw the day but the swing has helped her to take a nap and I can clean the house make dinner and eat it too without having her cry she either… Read more

watches the tv or listens to the tunes and falls asleep.

You must get one if you have tried everything to settle your little one and nothing works this swing is a gem Everything !! settles bub makes life a bit easier Bit noisy but bub does not seem to mind, all speeds seem the same but it cld be cauz bub is 6.5 kg

Love love love – Best luxurious item! I highly recommend. It allows you to get things done while bub is happy swinging around. I love the height of the swing plus the functions, songs and options it has. Our baby has colic and this swing seriously was a life savor to get him to sleep. It's very comfortable and soft plus you can elevate the seat if your… Read more

bubba has reflux.

It is slightly bulky but it's a beautiful swing!

Very happy with it! Comfort, colour, Bulky and price

Friends are jealous – I was given this swing as a present for bubs and all my friends with children are very envious as it is a very stylish swing and has so many functions. Bubs doesn't always like being in it and he doesn't like the swing passed the second setting but he loves looking at himself in the mirror and loves the music and mobile. I wish the stand was a… Read more

little bit smaller just because it is so bulky and hard to move around. The different settings available. Overpriced and very big.

Best Buy – Purchased this item 2nd hand (3 months old approximately) for half the retail price ($150) and would have spent full price after using it! Bub loves it, falls asleep for hours in it when having difficulty sleeping (during the day)...quiet, great motion, bub prefers side to side motion but swing allows for front to back as well. So far so good with… Read more

regard to batteries, still using the batteries which the previous owner had installed so can't say that they chew much. I am extremely impressed and as I said, knowing what I know now, I would definitely have purchased brand new at full price it is worth it! Life saver! Baby soother!! quiet, swing speeds (6), easy to assemble & use.

We used this everyday for months! – We received this rocker as a gift & would never had purchased it ourselves as it retails for $300. However once we put our baby in it, we discovered what all the fuss was about. This is an absolute quality product. It feels so soft & comfortable for our baby & the design feels so sturdy. Many times I have been exhausted and at my wits end. I've… Read more

placed our baby in here & it has soothed her to sleep so many times I lost count!

She is now too heavy for it & we are so disappointed she can't use it anymore. It has been worth the price. Baby LOVES it! It is the only thing that can settle her at times. She loves the mirror & looking at the lamb mobile. Absolutely everything about this product is fantastic. No flaws other then the price tag. However I see the difference compared to cheaper models.

Great service – We bought this swing to help put our baby to sleep but after a week the swing wasn't swinging as fast as when first purchased, even after changing batteries multiple times. I called fisher price and they sent A replacement swing motor free of charge. It arrived 2 days after my call. Good as new. Swings fast, legs fold down, mirror in mobile Chews through batteries Show 2 replies

Best Purchase to Date! – We were over the moon with this purchase. It settles a fussy baby and keeps them occupied with the mobile. Speed adjustments are also good. Only negative is that the batteries don't last very long and are expensive (still worth every dollar we spent on it) requires a fairly spacious room. Entertaining for baby Batteries

The best rocker avaliable but – We did our research before purchasing the swing as it was a lot of money and we weren't ever sure if our son would like it. We love that it swings back and forth and side to side. The seat it designed well as it is comfy and can change from sitting up and lying down. Its lovely and soft and easy to put him in and out. It plays a couple of tunes… Read more

which we don't use a lot. The mobile it great as it has a mirror and it alot as little lambs and moons which you can set to circulate which is his favorite part he is always looking upwards. The 2 things i don't like about this swing is 1 when the swing it going one of the legs slightly comes off the floor on carpet, tiles ever if i fiddle and shuffle the legs further apart 2 when you have the swing going the motor/gears make a noise even if i have used it for a month and even if its been going for a while I rang about the 12 month warranty and they said all of them make noise and it pot luck some make more than others and if i send it back they rate it and if they say its to bad they will replace it and if they don't agree they will send it back. I am torn on what to do it is loud the noise my son is put off by it but in the same thought i don't want to get one worse! If they know about it why haven't they sorted it out ??? My son loves the mobil and the chair is great Motor/Gear Noise

Best purchase we made – This was the best purchase we made! It was the only way our little guy would sleep! He had reflux and some food intolerances so the seat position was very beneficial. The fabric is very soft and comfy and always came up great after a wash (some fabrics don't). It does swing quite fast even in the lowest setting and especially as a newborn but he… Read more

loved it. As he got heavier it took a bit to get going but it always worked a treat! Great for a reflux baby A bit expensive if buying new but worth every penny. Also bulky if you don't have a lot of space.

The only thing that kept my baby occupied – I bought this swing not really knowing if it would be useful, my baby is now 7 months and its been the best buy we've made. It was the only way we could have a break when he was a newborn as he'd cry if he was put down anywhere else Soft, secure and reliable Takes up quite a bit of room in the lounge

Wonderful swing - contented baby :-) – Definately hands down one of the best purchases we have made for our little girl, she just loves it! Bought when she was five weeks old and helped settle in some of those nights when nothing else would then when in deep slumber would transfer her to her bed, now at nearly 5 months, she still loves it, only use it during the day now but she just… Read more

chills in it whilst watching baby Einstein then nods off for a nap, wakes up happy chatting away and giggling at herself in the mirror. Like all things made for bubbas, it is not a full time baby sitter but definately helps soothe and settle my wee one, then gives you a little time to do whatever you need to catch up on. I definately have a contented baby when using this. I also bought another swing whilst in NZ recently and she was no where near as contented in that one as had a more upright seat, the little lamb swing is just super comfy. Our batteries seem to last a while too.

I wish they made them for adults! – I fell in love with this the first time I saw it, it's so adorable. My daughter also loved swinging away in it whilst I tried to get some house work done or have a much needed shower. Occasionally she would fall asleep in it but not as much as I thought she would. It is however quite big and difficult to move about but we managed to find a spot in… Read more

our tiny lounge for it. Adorable & looks very comfy Takes up a bit of room and clicks whilst swinging

Great for sleep!!! – I got given one of these second hand, and boy was I glad!!! My baby had colic when he was tiny and often wouldn't sleep at all during the day, one day I was beside myself and popped him in the swing and off to sleep he went! It worked every time!!! The music was great and really seemed to interest him. It was soft and comfy. I liked the neutral… Read more

colors also. The fabric can be taken off and washed. It's operation is quiet and the multiple settings were fab! I couldn't have lived without it!!! Easy to use, easy to clean, soothed baby really well Takes up a fair bit of room

The best invention Eva – Bought this for our son and he loves it!! He's a very unsettled, independent baby and would rather be in his swing then anywhere else. The mirror is brilliant. He just states at himself. Never hear a peep out of him web he's using it. So content and happy. Very comfory too Everything! Wish I could select the songs it plays. I'm sick of hearing the same song ova and ova

Saved our sanity! Literally! – We bought this when our little girl was about 2 weeks old. She wasn't sleeping in her cot or bassinet because she needed to feel more snug. This swing became our life saver! It's great for newborns because they feel nice and secure in it and then as they get older they enjoy being able sit and relax in this, even without the swing function. It… Read more

never fails to lull our baby to sleep. It is also good for if you have inside pets as it is off the ground and they can't knock this over or get into baby's face (unless you have a large dog I suppose).

It has music and sound effects that also help baby relax. Great alternative to a bouncer or bassinet Takes up quite a bit of space

Best swing out there – We bought this item before we had our son and we thought it would be a great investment for times when we wanted to soothe him. It definitely was! It saved our lives when we needed our son to sleep and he slept in it for a long time that he got so addicted to it.. that was the bad part.. he loved it so much that it soothed him to sleep so easily… Read more

and the music it plays is really good. We ended up using the white noise from it and it helped soothe our son to sleep. I just wished the music played longer though because my husband or I had to keep resetting the music so many times.

There are 2 positions that the chair can be in. Lying down or sitting up. My son is now 9.5 months old and just uses it when we need to get something done really quickly and he gets some relaxation time. He is at the age where he wants to sit up, so we leave him in the 'sitting' position and have him seat belted in.

There are also 3 swivel positions so that you can swing side to side or front to back which is really convenient for those babies who have reflux issues.

There is a mirror in the middle where the lambs spin around and it is very cute. Our son likes to look at them and tries to grab them and sometimes manages to pull it off but we just put it back on again.

I found the life of the battery in the swing was great! We used it a lot and it lasted us a while. We invested in really good rechargeable batteries.

The padding is VERY comfortable and so soft. It's such a cute swing. For the money you spend on it, it is definitely worth it.

I would make sure you test your baby on the swing before you buy it as swings are either a hate or love thing with certain babies. I didn't know this until after our son was born (thankfully he loved it phew). Swings in 2 directions, 2 seating positions, good choices of music, sturdy and reliable, comfortable Music length is too short

This is a must have! – Great swing! I started using it for my newborn at 3 weeks ad it was a bit too early. Now my girl is 5 weeks old and she loves it. When she starts crying I put her on C&S and she loves it- majority of the times he just fall in sleep on it. Music / nature sounds stopped after few minutes of playing so you have to keep pressing but it's not a big deal.

Amazing, the "mechanical parent"! – We just purchased this 2nd hand and it as amazing! Our little girl is 11 weeks old and loves it. We first tried it in the store but didn't want to spend $300 on it as it will only last her a few months. We managed to pick one up for $150 and had only been used for a few months and is still in great condition. The cover comes off and is easy to… Read more

throw in the wash and is a really nice soft material against baby's skin. The swing settings are quite powerful - we only have it on the 2nd slowest setting and that is fast enough in the side-to-side motion. Maybe when we convert it to back-and-forth the faster settings will be more suitable, but for now, the slower settings are more than adequate. The baby can sit in it securely with the lap harness and there is a little tray that can be clipped in or left off.

The sound settings are good - it has 8 different songs that sound like carnival music (so not our favourites) and other relaxing sounds like birds chirping and night music. You can adjust the volume as well, which is great.

What I really love is that all the settings work independently - you can have the swing on or off, music on or off and also the rotating toys at the top, so you don't have to have everything on at the same time.

The only downside is that it only uses batteries (4xD) and there isn't an AC adaptor for it. Really wish it came with a power outlet, but we are looking at getting rechargeable batteries to help minimise the cost of always having to have a spare set.

We had purchased a mechanical rocker/bouncinette chair (Bloom Coco Rocker) which was the same price brand new and she hated it! Yes it looked great in our living room, but she didn't like sitting in it and you have to rock it yourself.

We let our little girl sit it in for an hour or so a day and it always soothes her and keeps her happy, really handy for when you just need to put the baby down but they just want to be rocked. She's always happy in it, and happy baby = happy parents! Happy baby = Happy parents!! Love this Only takes batteries (4xD) which can get expensive at $10 a pack
