Great swing, with one exception
By G. Starr
Some reviews have complained regarding the motor noise; we’ve found it’s only noisy if you try to begin 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 oftentimes 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 exceedingly 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.

Best swing!
By LB
We in the first place had the graco sweetpeace swing which was the worst buy EVER. We went through 4 of them before I was like that’s it! I decisive to pick this up and I am glad I did!! My daughter is 10 months and still fits in it but we put it away for the next baby. But this was the best, it’s so soft..the motions are so soothing. It’s an overall in truth good product. I’m sad to listen that other reviewers had a bad experience but everyone I know has this swing with no issues. Fisher price has one of the best client service I have ever seen so they will interchange out for a new one asap. I highly commend this to new parents- you won’t be sorry!

No AC Adapter, but Runs Forever on D. Rather Loud.
By Patrick W. Damiani
I was looking through the Fisher Price Cradle n Swing products, and decisive 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 everlastingly 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 may listen them from the other end of the house. I have to max out the music volume just to listen 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 beneath ten pounds. Even on the firstborn speed setting, she weighs so little that the swing goes super fast. It looks like an amusement part ride, and she gets frighted 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 take delight in the swing and the mobile, and she’ll at last fall asleep happy. She doesn’t seem to mind the grinding sound, but we do.
This swing takes up rather 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 concede you to move it around. That is a real nice feature, because we move it to the living room and the bedroom each 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 deafening 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 utile but average.
