Initially, I really liked the possibility to plug my smartphone directly into the seat (there is a standard aux-in port on the base) and play the music of my choice through the inbuilt speaker. The seat is slightly reclined (it’s non-adjustable) which seems to be comfortable position for babies for overhead play and resting. Eventually, he fitted in alright, yet I still couldn’t shake off the feeling that it might not be completely comfortable or safe for him. Moreover, they don’t differ only in color, but they also come with different materials. The standard light grey model looks like a perfect all-rounder, whereas the dark grey mesh alternative is ideal for summertime. Compact and perfectly portable We are proactively making a strap fastener upgrade available to any family, anywhere in the world, that would like one – free of charge.

This swing doesn’t have as many motions as mamaRoo (only side-to-side sway which mimics parents’ comforting movements), but it has some cool high-tech features. Parents like this flexibility, because all babies are different and respond to different soothing methods. With this swing, you’ll be better equipped to experiment and see what works best for your own child. Both swings have different seat fabrics and you cannot swap them. On the positive note, they are machine washable. The MamaRoo4 also functions as a sound machine. It has four sounds: rain, waves, soft music and white noise. If you want to play your own music for baby, you can use an aux cord. The newest model of the MamaRoo has Bluetooth functionality so you can play your own music—like lullabies on Spotify ( this is one of our favorites). Simply pair the swing to your phone. Once paired, you can even control the movements and speeds, too.There have been two reports of children becoming entangled in the restraint straps of the MamaRoo swing, which hang below the seat of the swing when it's not in use. The potential hazard can occur when the seat is not in use and its straps are fully extended, according to a spokesperson for 4moms. What caregivers should do If you’re looking for a super-small travel swing and your baby is not on the larger side, it can probably be just right for you. Otherwise, I would probably go with a standard-sized swing instead. Prone to malfunctions

The different motions allow you to find your baby’s favorite, as all babies are different in what they prefer. Many parents find the car ride setting puts their little one to sleep. Some of the other motions, like kangaroo, give baby that up and down feeling that mimics the way Mom and Dad bounce them up and down. The angle of the seat can not be adjusted, and some parents found it to be too inclined for their newborns (the insert may help with this). Some also found the speed to be too fast, even on the slowest setting. Another common complaint is that the motor is louder than they expected. MamaRoo The mamaRoo is all about soothing babies. It has five motion settings (car ride is Calvin’s favorite with kangaroo a close second) and five speeds to choose from. It also has a variety of nature and white noise settings, and you can plug your iPhone or MP3 player into it directly. It reclines to different heights, has an infant insert for the littlest babes, and has a mobile with balls that have interesting patterns to entertain baby.Furthermore, while this product can accommodate newborns, an infant insert is sold independently to provide some cushioning and support for your kid.
