mamaRoo Giveaway: Not Your Mama’s Infant Seat

by Kate on September 20th, 2010 | 1,105 Comments » | In Baby Shopping Guide, Giveaways

The first time I laid my eyes on the awesome 4moms mamaRoo at the ABC Kids Expo last year, I was immediately disappointed my children were too old to use it. And then I briefly contemplated whether a baby seat is reason enough to have another child because I wanted so badly to give the mamaRoo a new home. But just because I don’t need a mamaRoo I still get to give one a new home – in your house with this Baby Shopping Guide giveaway.

Meet the mamaRoo

Like all 4moms products, the mamaRoo is truly remarkable.
From planning to production, it was shaped by the expertise of designers, doctors, nurses, and most importantly, hundreds of parents. Our team used motion sensors to measure the movements of real moms and dads as they soothed their babies, and guess what we found? Parents don’t vibrate like bouncy seats or swing like swings. They bounce and sway. So we built the mamaRoo
to do just that – to move “like you do.”
This isn’t just another infant seat. It’s our baby. And we made it for yours.

It’s clear the mamaRoo is not your mama’s baby swing, but it is the 4moms take on the baby swing. Check out this video to learn more about the thinking behind the unique design.

More Than an Infant Seat

The mamaRoo is described as an Infant Seat, but that simple description truly doesn’t do it justice. The mamaRoo have five unique motions that combine going  up and down AND side to side to mimic real life movements. You know, like the mama bounce we all instinctively do to calm our babies? The motions can be adjusted in five different speeds so you can tone it down to calm baby to sleep or crank it up a bit to keep a playful baby happy.

I love that the mamaRoo also makes white noise to help soothe a baby. It makes five different nature sounds and you can even plug in your MP3 player to help baby rock out. Or sleep like a rock. You decide.

To stimulate baby, the mamaRoo has a toy mobile with 3 removable plush toy balls. One side of the ball features classic works of arts and the other side is black and white, perfect for infants who can’t yet see colors.

The seat of the mamaRoo is a good-sized seat for chubbier infants, and can be used for babies up to 25 pounds. It can also recline or sit more upright depending on your needs.
