Mamaroo Plush Bouncer & Swing by 4moms

It’s a scientific fact that a perpetual motion machine in a closed system cannot exist. Eventually, the rules of thermodynamics kick in, and the machine screeches to a halt. But hearing this scientific fact will not satisfy a baby who always wants to be rocked. Babies love motion, and many babies want and need a perpetual motion Mommy, ready to rock all day and all night.

This sort of baby requires a special kind of bouncer to make him happy: the Mamaroo Plush from 4Moms. The Mamaroo baby seat is pure baby-tending genius: it has five rocking settings that move your baby from side to side as well as back and forth. The 4Moms team used motion sensors to detect exactly how parents rock and bounce their babies, and then designed robotic technology to mimic those motions perfectly. So when you just can’t rock anymore, the 4Moms Mamaroo Infant Seat steps in to save the day, with motions that include “car ride” and “kangaroo” modes, plus white noise and nature sounds. You can also plug in your iPod to treat the baby to your own selection of lullabies, and you have complete control over the volume!

And then of course, there’s the plush seat: the Mamaroo Plush adds an extra layer of comfort to the original Mamaroo infant seat, with more padding and softer, plushier seat fabric. Since babies are not much concerned with cleanliness, you can whisk away messes by zipping off the seat fabric and tossing it into your washing machine.

Finally, a reversible overhead mobile adds some entertainment to the Mamaroo: one side has high-contrast black-and-white patterns to enthrall new babies, and the other side has cute colorful monsters that older infants will love. The 4Moms Mamaroo Plush plugs into the wall, so you won’t need batteries to keep your baby moving. Use from birth until about 4 months, or up to 25 pounds.
