mamaRoo bouncy seat giveaway

I had bouncy seats with all my kids, they were a good way to rest my arm, the only downfall is that my feet would get so sore bouncing my children to keep them happy. I had to bounce them because the vibrate thing was far from soothing for my kids and actually freaked them out and made them cry.

The mamaRoo seat from 4moms is amazing, I totally wish I would have gotten this when my kids were babies so that we could actually use it a lot more. But for now I will settle with using it for my brothers baby and perhaps some day I might be able to convince Lee to have another baby and we can use the mamaRoo seat we have with that little one.

We’ve never seen a parent vibrate like a bouncy seat or swing like a swing. But we’ve seen thousands of parents scoop their little ones up in their arms and bounce and sway. And that’s what the mamaRoo does. It moves like you do.

I don’t even know where to start with this seat because there is so much to tell you so lets start at the top and work our way down.

At the very top is a mobile with three soft toys to play with. The toys are two different colors depending on which side you put up. One side is black and white for infants, they say black and white is good for baby development, the other side is colored for babies (about four months) who love to look at color for stimuli. What I love most is that these come easily in and out of the mobile so your little one can slobber on them, you throw em in the washer to clean and then back onto the mobile for playtime.

Next we have the seat. Simply flip a switch at the back and slide the seat to recline/sit it up. The seat is very easy to take off and is machine washable how awesome is that. It is available in six great fabric color choices. We picked the lime green/brown although i would have loved the pink/brown I only have boys to use it with so the colors were not working lol.

Now for the fun part, the base of the chair, the brains of the chair.

First off on the base is a hookup for your iP0d so if your baby is anything like mine and loves music you can play some great tunes for your little one straight off your iPod so it will be easy to travel with the music as well. There are two built in speakers and a volume control. If you don’t have an ipod no worries they also built in a white noise machine with 5 different sounds to choose from to help soothe your little one.

Now lets get to the controls. The chair has 5 unique motions that are nothing like a normal vibrating chair. Below you will find the motions and the explanation of them straight from the 4moms website.

Car Ride

A figure eight on its side

Kangroo

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

The buttons on the base are large and very easy to find so even if your trying to sneak you don’t have to worry about waking or disturbing the baby while they are enjoying their chair. There are five different speeds to go with the five different motions all controlled by a touch button on the base to the left of the LCD control panel. This chair is by far one of the most high tech but easiest baby items I have had the pleasure of reviewing. Each speed is safe so there is no concerns it is too much for your baby.

So to recap this is the best chair I have ever had the pleasure of owning. I wanted to get pictures of my brothers son in the chair before I posted this review but unfortunately he has not been over, this chair is only recommended up to age 6 months and so while I have some pictures of Holden in it we never turned it on and only stuck him in for a second to see how he fit etc.

While you are visiting the 4moms website I highly recommend you check out their other awesome products including the Origami stroller which I have heard is coming soon and I have my fingers crossed I will get to review for you as well.
