This high-tech swing has an elegant and futuristic charm to it. It looks almost as if Apple decided to switch from smartphones to smart baby equipment. When unboxing the product, you might find yourself intimidated by all the components which need to be assembled in order for the swing to come to life, however it’s easier than it appears. In fact, you are being greeted with a sticker from the manufacturer with information about the website and the customer service while inside the cardboard box you shall find a detailed and easy to follow instruction manual.

It is also equipped with 4 calming sounds however if your baby finds them rather boring after a while, there is an MP3 plug in so you can play baby songs from your own personal collection and keep the baby entertained for hours and hours.

Babies feel most calm when they are in the hands of their parents. Therefore, when buying a product that holds your baby you have to keep in mind that it has to deliver the same movements that are familiar to the infant. Parents don’t vibrate like vibrating baby beds or swing back and forth like a classic electronic swing. Their bodies move from to side, bounce and swaddle while holding their baby. That is why infants relax more easily with similar motions that try to mimic the movements babies felt while they were in the utero. These sensual drifting is accompanied by 4 soothing tunes that give peaceful charm to the calming atmosphere.

You can experience the relaxing sound of raindrops if you choose the Rain mode, or the enchanting waves sounds by picking the Ocean feature. There is also a Fan mode since we all know how comforting can white noises be as well as a Heart feature that has emotional heartbeat patterns so the baby can feel if it is sleeping on mommy’s chests. These type of nature melodies are actually recommended by pediatricians and early child development psychologists since they provide a safe environment for a pacifying nap instead of complex and noisy songs that might disturb your little one.

Even the swaddling motions have been incorporated through detailed research and thorough testing in order to find the most calming movements that will not scare or make the baby feel dizzy. There is a Car Ride option because toddlers enjoy when they are being driven and fall asleep almost immediately. A Kangaroo motion is included since baby kangaroos and inseparable with their mommies and love the joyful bouncing while they are inside their mother’s pouch. A good old Tree Swing mode never gets out of fashion and swings will always be enchanting for children. There is also a Rock a Bye movement since rocking always comforts babies while they’re crying as well as a Wave mode because we all know how lovely it is to be floating on the ocean waves.

This product is meant to create an amusing environment for your little one while keeping it in a comfortable position.

If you are an Android owner, you can use it with almost any Android device that has works with Bluetooth Low energy and operates with Android 4.3 or its newer versions. This is very important because even though the product has many different features, babies might still want to be comforted with their favorite sounds, for example the famous baby shark song that seems to be everywhere and now you can play it on this whimsical moving object.

It is also very fun to observe children playing with the colorful little plush toys that hang above their little heads. Each of the 3 oval shaped toys has a different interactive purpose which the baby can discover while gently swaddling in the mamaRoo 4. While being customized with fashionable patterns in different colors, the reversible balls come equipped as a rattle, a mirror and a crinkle which are known to mesmerize children in the first months of their lives.

However, if you use it properly and keep it in good condition, you will have a product you can use for many babies to come without any need for repair or replacement.

Is this product absolutely necessary for newborns? Some adults might say no, however we highly doubt those people are parents who need to guard their baby by themselves 24/7 or have ever experienced the benefits of the mamaRoo 4. In fact, even though customers immediately fall in love with its charming design, they are still hesitant whether to invest more money in baby products since children seem to outgrow everything pretty quickly.

When you’ve just welcomed a baby to this world you need to buy a baby crib, a baby chair and table for feeding, a stroller, baby car seat etc. Yes, parenthood quickly becomes financially draining however feeling mentally drained due to not having some time for yourself is even worse.
