we had the fisher price my little lamb cradle swing as well. the bonus of the cradle swing rang is they can swing side to side or back to front which was great as our bubba hated swinging back to front but would sleep for ages with the side to side movement. As long as the legs are played out to the maximum width it ids very stable...if you are worried about a toddler knocking back it up to a wall as they only way I could see it tipping is backwards and if it is up against a wall that aint gonna happen!
