Fisher Price Baby Swings Review

I don't like to review an item right away because i don't know if it's really good or not. well our little boy is 4 months old and we have been using this swing every day and every night for 4 months and we couldn't live with out it. it is sooo soft and plush and the music is so calming, my son almost can't sleep unless it's on! :) it swings great and the different speed settings are great! being able to turn it in 3 different directions with out moving the actual swing is the best!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SWING! 




 I loved this swing from day one. I couldnt wait to put my son in it since it looked SO comfy! Boy, was I right!? My son had colic and cried for 4 months straight..this swing was my sanity! : ) He would immediately stop crying the second we put him it. He literally slept in this day and night for the first few months of his life. I loved that the fabric was SUPER easy to wash and it never lost its softness. If you are in the market for a wonderful swing, you have found it! 




I have twin boys and they were always sort of restless sleeping in their crib. We had a heatwave here (no air conditioning in Europe) so they slept in their lamb swings downstairs where it was cool. Once the heatwave ended, they refused to sleep in anything bu their lamb swing!

I like how cushy the swing is. The music choices are nice as well.

The only downside is the motor on one of the swings died after 3 months of use. I know we used it a lot, but still. I called up Fisher Price customer service and they were so helpful and nice. They're sending out a new motor to me, priority mail. 



I had purchased a graco swing before finding the little lamb swing. The graco swing was terrible and broke within a few weeks of having it. I was really upset with paying so much for it so I returned it, then I found this swing and got a great price for it with free shipping. When we got it , it was an easy setup and my daughter loves it! It was a great purchase and I recommend it to anyone that is looking for a high quality swing! 



 I received a Nature's Touch Papasan Cradle Swing on loan from a friend, as we are expecting our first child. My friend had loaned it to another one of her friends, and then passed it to me. I found it very easy to assemble. However, when I went to insert fresh batteries to get it up and running, I found that the previous users had left batteries (off-brand batteries to boot) in the battery compartment and they had leaked acid, destroying the springs, corroding the terminals, and basically rendering the unit non-functional. I contemplated just replacing the swing, but decided on a whim to contact Fisher Price to see if a replacement part was available. I explained the situation just as I have to you, and they offered to send me a new top part to the swing, including the battery housing, motor, mobile, etc. FREE OF CHARGE. I asked the operator if she realized that the malfunction was not a fault of the company, it was purely operator error, and she replied that they were just interested in making sure that the product was safe for use. All they asked was that I send them the old part - they even send me a shipping label, so I did not have to pay for that either. I was shocked and could not have asked for better service from a company. As for the swing itself, it has all of the features you would ever need - several variable speeds, side-to-side or back-and-forth motions, many music or nature sounds choices, etc. I strongly urge you to consider this and/or any other Fisher Price products - you will not be disappointed in the service they provide! 




For the first month or so I'll admit that our son (now 2 1/2 months old) wasn't a huge fan of this swing- he didn't dislike it but it wasn't anything special either. However, over the past 2 weeks he has been LOVING it. It's great for calming him down or getting him to nap when he's tired and fighting sleep when nothing else we try will work.
