He Rocks

Where all the magic happens
There are a some things that fall into the “typical first time mother” category. One of those, without a doubt, is googling “the best ______” when researching items to buy for a baby. As a first-timer myself, I did loads of research on the best/safest carseat, and the best stroller, and the best monitor. I could go on and on. 

I also researched baby registries and wanted to investigate the items that mom’s were loving. It didn’t take long before I found the 4moms MamaRoo on a handful of registries. 

I clicked over to 4moms.com and my jaw dropped. I spent a good half an hour watching the videos that show how the products work. I sent links to just about every product to my husband. And I started searching for where to buy these products. 

We found the mamaRoo at Buy Buy Baby, among some other 4moms products as well. I loved that it had all these different motions and didn’t take up a huge amount of space. 

We added it to the registry immediately and were very excited when my parents bought it for us as a gift. 

So, as an existing lover of 4moms products, I was very excited when they contacted me to tell you about the new rockaRoo

The difference, in case you are wondering, between the mamaRoo and the rockaRoo is the motion. The mamaRoo has 5 different motions(ex. car ride, ocean, etc) that mimic how parents move to sooth the baby. The rockaRoo, however, is closer to a swing, but instead of swinging traditionally, it flips that concept on it’s head and rocks to and fro. It has 5 speed settings, but the only motion it makes is a rocking motion.

David really likes the simple rocking motion that it makes, and I like how deep the seat is. I don’t have to worry about him sliding down or his head falling to one side in it. He’s cozy and happy while he rocks. 4mom’s makes a newborn insert as well as an option for more support for a little one.

It’s been fun to have friends over and wait for them to ask,”what is that?!” And if they have babies, they always want to try it out.

The rockaRoo weighs less than the mamaRoo, which makes it easy to carry upstairs for David to rock while I’m getting ready for the day. He usually checks out the mobile for a few minutes and then it isn’t long before his eyes get heavy and he begins to really relax in it. 

My husband and I truly have loved both of these products, and more importantly–David does too!

I would love to try this out with my baby girl! Lauren is 11 weeks old, but was a preemie so she just came home from hospital a few weeks ago. They used the Mamaroo in the nursery to soothe babies, and I was debating getting one for her. We got the Graco glider, but she doesn’t care for it very much so I wonder how she would like this? Thanks for the chance to win one! Kate I have been following you blog/YouTube for awhile now and I was so excited when you announced your pregnancy! My baby was due 12/31 ( but born early on 11/10) so we were only a few weeks off from each other. I look forward to hearing more about baby David!

Have you ever tried their travel cot? I’ve heard it’s super easy to assemble but it looks very ‘no frills’. Not necessarily a bad thing. I didn’t really use the bells and whistles on our travel cot. It now serves as our toddler’s ‘time out’ area.

I’ve only seen the mobile you have pictured with the rockaRoo. Did you order that mobile toy set separately from your mamaRoo? I like that one a lot better that what it normally comes with…the one with the monsters.

I’ve seen you mention your 4moms products a couple of times, and yesterday I finally added them to my registry. I am due in July with our second and the RockARoo would be a life saver to put baby in with a house and a dog and some cats and a four year old to also look after!

We were given the Mamaroo as a gift for our daughter when she was about 3 weeks old. She had acid reflux issues and always needed to be at an incline when she napped or at night, so the crib and bassinet didn’t work well for us for the first few months. As in turned out, our daughter slept in her Mamaroo at night in our room until she was almost 12 weeks old. Sounds crazy, but it worked. After that, she mostly liked to use it as a place to hang out while we read to her or did our chores. Ironically, she never really cared much for the movement or music–LOL

We love our MamaRoo! Our little guy doesn’t use it nearly as much as he used to (he’s 7 months now), but we’ve used it more lately for naps when he has a stuffy nose. He’s a little too big for our rock and play, but still fits great in the MamaRoo. The incline helps him sleep. It’s nice to be able to use the MamaRoo for longer than we thought we would!

If you are looking for “the best…” you should check out weespring.com. It is a social shopping site where people rank baby products based on what they love, have, regret and want. You can follow your friends and it is so much easier than wading through the amazon comments sections! Good luck.
