Video Unboxing: This Baby Swing Can Soothe Baby 25 Different Ways
A tech-friendly update to the popular 4moms MamaRoo is here.
In those first months with a newborn, the right baby swing can make all the difference when it comes to soothing your little one and giving your arms a break. The 4moms mamaRoo has a reputation for being one of the most popular ones out there—and the updated MamaRoo Multi-Motion Baby Swing is making it an even more exciting option for parents. With new tech-forward details on top of its already-loved motion swing features, the mamaRoo is worth a look. Babylist Scout Maxey gives you the full rundown in the video above.
What the mamaRoo Does
Most baby swings have one main function: to rock and soothe your baby. The mamaRoo does that, but with a whole lot more motion options. Like the mamaRoo4, there are five signature motions: car ride, kangaroo, tree swing, rock-a-bye and wave. These are all made to mimic the way you might actually sway, rock or bounce your baby, and it’s one of the only swings designed to do that. There are also five speeds and an adjustable seat recline option so you can create the most comfortable experience for your little one. Here are some other details that make it unique:
- Let’s Talk Tech: In addition to Wi-Fi Smart Home Integration that gives you voice control with Amazon Alexa (and Google Home coming soon), there’s an updated 4moms App. A new, sleek touch-sensitive control panel also makes it easier for you to adjust the swing settings.
- Find Your Roo: In the new 4moms App, there’s a “Find Your Roo” feature that lets you “soothe” and rock your phone in your arms the same way you would your baby. Then, it recommends the MamaRoo motion and speed combination that most closely matches yours to help make the transition from your arms to the mamaRoo seamless.
- Secure Swinging: Babies can be squirmy. Depending on your baby’s wiggliness level or how soon they start sitting up, there’s a 3-point harness for when they’re teeny, and a 5-point harness for extended use.
There’s also a cute, detachable mobile to help support your baby’s sensory development and keep your baby entertained. It’s also more compact than some other swing options. With a 23.5 inch wide base, you can fit it through most doorways with ease.
Why You’d Want That
Many parents will agree that their babies love being soothed by motion. The new mamaRoo makes it so you can create that sensation, without having to hold your kiddo all day long. It’s a one-of-a-kind multi-motion baby swing™, and with the upgrades, you’ll be able to create an experience tailored to your baby. Altogether, the mamaRoo has 25 motion combinations so you’ll be able to find just the right one to keep your baby happy. Watch Maxey’s review to see it in action.
