Mamaroo by 4Moms at Baby on the Run

Parents don't vibrate like bouncy seats or swing like swings. They bounce and sway, and that's what the mamaRoo does: it moves like you do. Our team used motion sensors to measure the movements of reals moms and dads as they soothed their babies, and replicated those motions in the mamaRoo. It's the only infant seat with five different motions, all modeled after the natural movements parents make to comfort their babies. It isn't just another infant seat. It's our baby, and we made it for yours.

And, since babies love white noise machines, so there is one built in! Choose from one of five nature sounds, or for something a little more rockin’, connect any MP3 player.

Five unique motions

The mamaRoo bounces up and down and sways from side to side, just like parents do when comforting their babies.

Car Ride: A figure eight on its side

KangaRoo: Lots of up-and-down, less side-to-side

Tree Swing High on the sides, low in the middle

Rock-A-Bye: Low on the sides, high in the middle

Ocean Wave: Around in a big circle

Lie Back and Relax:

The mamaRoo’s recline is designed to be as flexible as possible to allow for baby’s comfort, but also to keep baby safe. EN standards require that baby swings recline no further than 30 degrees from horizontal to prevent the risk of suffocation, and our expert consultants suggested the seat sit up no straighter than 50 degrees from horizontal to accommodate very young children whose heads need support. Accordingly, the mamaRoo’s seat reclines from a 49 degree angle to a 33 degree angle, allowing a few degrees of leeway for the flexibility of the fabric seat. Within that safe range, the mamaRoo’s recline is completely adjustable.

Speeds for Play or Rest

The mamaRoo’s speeds were chosen for two reasons: safety and comfort. Making those choices was a challenge, though, because there’s a very real difference between how a motion looks and how it feels. Think about the swinging pirate ship rides at amusement parks: they look like they’re moving slowly, but step on and you’ll find that’s not the case. The mamaRoo’s motions were chosen for how they feel, and most importantly, for how they feel to an infant. What seems slow to an adult may be just right for a baby, and that’s what we’ve seen time and time again with the mamaRoo. We’ve done extensive field research, and babies consistently love the mamaRoo and find it very soothing.
