2.0 out of 5 stars Obsolete model July 16, 2011

By Nite Owl

This swing was fairly effective, but the Fisher-Price My Little Snugabunny Cradle 'n Swing is better in every possible way (except it is slightly more expensive). Here are all the ways the Little Lamb is worse:
1. The swing is noisy and wakes the baby up - Snugabunny is much quieter
2. Even the lowest setting swings extremely fast, whereas the Snugabunny's lowest setting is much more reasonable
3. Turning the swing off makes a "click" sounds that wakes the baby up, which is not the case for the Snugabunny
4. Only runs on batteries, which need replacing at least once a month - the Snugabunny has an AC adapter option
5. The head rest is thick and leaves a dent on the back of the baby's head, but the Snugabunny is much thinner
6. Doesn't seem as sturdy - for example, the mobile broke after a short time and the swing got louder over time
7. Only has a waist restraint, which I've heard of babies flipping out of, but the Snugabunny has an optional 5-point harness

3.0 out of 5 stars No AC Adapter, but Runs Forever on D. Rather Loud. January 31, 2011

By Patrick W. Damiani

I was looking through the Fisher Price Cradle n Swing products, and decided on the My Little Lamb "color." I didn't realize that it didn't come with an AC adapter or jack for one. Well, I guess that is my fault. It takes D batteries, and it seems to run forever on them. We have had it running for approximately eighteen hours a day for two weeks, and it is still running well.

The swing and the mobile are both very loud. The mechanics inside the device click and grind, and you can hear them from the other end of the house. I have to max out the music volume just to hear it over the machine. We don't even use the music often, because the swing is so noisy.

Our daughter is only six weeks old and weighs just under ten pounds. Even on the first speed setting, she weighs so little that the swing goes super fast. It looks like an amusement part ride, and she gets scared and cries. We put a blanket over her that reaches down and touches the flood. The added weight of this blanket and the floor contact help keep the swing at a comfortable speed. She'll enjoy the swing and the mobile, and she'll eventually fall asleep happy. She doesn't seem to mind the grinding sound, but we do.

This swing takes up quite a bit of floor space. This is for stability, but it is good to know that it is just over four feet wide and just over three feet deep, once it is set up. The legs collapse to allow you to move it around. That is a real nice feature, because we move it to the living room and the bedroom every day. The swing isn't too heavy; My wife moves it without complaint.

Overall, I say it is average. The swing's footprint can't be helped, because it is for safety. The loud mechanics need to be improved, and a jack for an AC adapter needs to be wired in. The style is nice, the controls are easy, blah blah blah. If it had those two improvements: mechanics and power, it would be an easy five stars. As it stands, I give it three out of five for being useful but average.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great swing, with one exception March 14, 2011

By G. Starr

Some reviews have complained about the motor noise; we've found it's only noisy if you try to start the swing moving yourself. You have to turn on the swing with the swing standing still or the motor will be fighting the incorrectly timed motion you started.

My noise complaint comes from the frame and case. With our 13 lb. baby in the swing it frequently squeaks, loudly, as the frame flexes from the motion of the swing. If I go re-position the legs the noise stops, but soon returns. It's also noisier on hard floors, as the feet on one corner or the other tend to raise up when the swing is on one side, then tap the floor when it swings to the other. It has yet to wake our son, but it is extremely annoying when it happens.

Other than the aforementioned frame-noise, we've been very happy with the swing, and the changeable swing direction is fantastic.
