4moms mamaRoo 5.0 Multi-Motion Baby Swing - Grey

Product Information

Bluetooth functionality - stream baby's favourite music and easily adjust motion, speed, or sound with the 4moms app

Mumsnet user Terriblecreature agrees, saying “My little boy loved this and gave me a second to get a shower etc. Worth the hefty price tag in my opinion.” About the author The swing seat comes with a secure five-point safety harness which, whilst a little fiddly to secure, ensures a safe and secure fit for both newborns and older babies. With smart home technology, Bluetooth connectivity and remote operation via the handy 4Moms app, you can easily tailor each ride to meet your baby's changing needs. It also has an interactive toy mobile as well as a range of preprogrammed sounds to offer some welcome hands-free support for parents of clingy babies during nap time or playtime. At 4moms we believe in better! The MamaRoo® Multi-Motion Baby Swing has always been a great product and we continue to make updates to deliver dramatically better products. All models include the five unique motions and built-in sounds. Differences are described below:

The seat is recommended for babies up to a 9kg weight limit (around six months of age) however Luci noted, “My 11-day old (9lb 13oz) newborn is taking up three quarters of the seat already.” With that said, it may not last you as long as six months depending on the size of your baby. Is the 4Moms Mama Roo safe and stable? The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends babies shouldn't be in a swing more than 30 minutes at a time. If your baby falls asleep in the mamaRoo infant seat we recommend moving the baby to a separate approved sleep surface, such as a crib, playard or bassinet. Yes. The firm mattress of the bassinet provides a safe, flat sleep surface that follows the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Safe Sleep recommendations. How can I transition my baby from the mamaRoo sleep bassinet to a crib? There are four built-in sounds on the MamaRoo - specifically rain, ocean sounds, a fan sound and heartbeat, the latter of which can provide some familiar comfort to newborn babies. The sounds are relatively subtle and non-offensive, with an adjustable sound level that can be raised or lowered to suit your preferences via the app. If you opt for a swing, look for one that has a detachable bouncer. This will allow you to remove the seat and take it on the go with you.

The movements can be altered via the app or directly on the base and Luci found this fairly intuitive to do. There are five speeds, but when testing the MamaRoo, Luci found most of them too intense for her newborn. At speed four, she felt the motion was more like a ride and therefore didn’t progress to speed five. No. The newborn insert is not required for use; however, you may choose to use it because it does provide extra support for the baby.Luci’s first impressions of the MamaRoo were mixed. With a modern design, the 4Moms MamaRoo 5.0 has a simple white base and silver frame with a grey/silver cover. Luci felt that the design wasn’t particularly attractive, with the fabric less premium than she would have expected given the significant price tag.
