Fisher Price My Little Lamb Swing

If you like a traditional looking nursery, all pastels and calm, then you'll love the Fisher Price My Little Lamb Swing.

Many of the things made for children these days are loud and colorful and the general taste seems to be moving away from the comforting colors my generation grew up with.

Soft colors are calming, and if you have a fussy baby you should consider the Little Lamb Swing because although it has lots of stimulating sounds and toys, its overall appearance is snug and cozy and your baby will feel as safe and comfortable in it as he does his own crib.

All the fabrics used in the My Little Lamb Swing are plush, soft and machine washable. If he’s wide awake there are lots of things to keep him occupied. You can adjust the swing to work in a forward to backward swinging motion or side to side, each with 6 different speed settings.

Above his head float a flock of plush sheep and directly above him is a mirror so he will quickly develop a sense of “self”. The mobile can also be adjusted for speed. For further stimulation the Fisher-Price My Little Lamb Swing plays 8 different songs as the mobile goes around.

If he gets sleepy counting sheep, it’s easy to adjust the volume or recline the seat to a recumbent position. There are 3 positions to choose from. You can also adjust the swing’s motion, until he’s gently rocking and fast asleep.

Fisher Price has been making children’s toys and nursery items since 1930 and they know exactly what moms need to keep a child happy and entertained. Our grandson loves the tunes and is already reaching up for the sheep, helping develop his hand-eye coordination. I don’t think he’s figured out who that is in the mirror yet, but I’m sure he soon will!

The Fisher Price My Little Lamb Swing takes up very little space, looks beautiful and packs up easily to go in the car. It comes along every time we babysit and my grandson is very content to fall asleep in it, allowing our son and his wife to leave him with us for a much-needed night out together.

The AC adaptor is also extremely useful if you don’t like buying batteries all the time, although it will run for quite a few hours with them – we’ve put the swing outside by the pool on fine days. The canopy keeps the sun off him and there’s plenty to keep him amused while we swim. The adjustable harness and restraint pad keeps him safe and secure all the time.

When he’s sitting up he can play with the cute toy that’s attached to the snack tray and he’s already gnawing on the firmly attached teething bar. The Swing is certified by the Juvenile Products Manufacturer's Association and meets all ASTM standards.

The Fisher-Price My Little Lamb Swing is adorable and definitely something that should be added to every baby shower gift list!
