I bought two of these.  One for my 9 year old and one for my 7 year old.  For safety reasons, I could not imagine using this in a nursery as a swag but it would be fine if hardwired.  There is no on off switch when used as a swag so it has to be unplugged and then plugged back in to turn it off and on.  I find that very unsafe especially in a young child's room.  It's also quite annoying as one of the outlets is behind my daughter's headboard. I'll be keeping these just because they're stylish and cute and my kids are older.  But, I will be plugging them into a surge protector that has an on off switch for my kids to use and then that will extend them to where the switch can be reached.
