4moms mamaRoo 4.0 Rocker/Bouncer Classic Black

Product Information

Every newborn’s sleep needs are different – and their needs continue to change as they develop and grow over the first few months. Rooted in the science of infant sleep, the MamaRoo Sleep ® Bassinet is the most adaptable bassinet that safely meets the needs of more babies than any other bassinet. For use from birth until child reaches maximum weight limit of 25 pounds or can push up on their hands or knees, whichever comes first. The mamaRoo4 has five distinct movements with five different speed settings. The motions are named after what they represent and are fairly accurate in that way.

Lucy has reviewed a wide range of baby bouncers over the years and as such is well versed to recognise the key features that are beneficial to parents. Because the MamaRoo® Multi-Motion Baby Swing is neither a flat surface (there is always a slight recline) or a firm surface as recommended by the AAP, the MamaRoo® 5 Multi-Motion Baby Swing is not an approved sleep surface. At first, to be honest, I was skeptical of the app that works with the bassinet thinking there wouldn’t be any need for me to use it when I could easily change the settings on the bassinet itself, however, I was very wrong. Using the app allows me to change the settings easily from my phone without having to risk my son seeing me and waking him up. The app also has a timer to allow you to decide how long you want the motions, music, etc to last. For some babies the motion is only necessary to sooth to sleep while other times it might be more helpful to keep them asleep longer. The bassinet itself is also a great size, not too bulky, fits great into any space, and is easy to move as well. The storage basket at the bottom is a great way to store diapers, wipes, burp clothes, extra clothes, etc for those middle of then night feeds and changes without taking up even more space.

While still in the Alexa app, ask Alexa to discover devices by saying “Alexa, Discover Devices”. This may take up to 45 seconds Magical! The mamaRoo sleep bassinet is pretty amazing. It’s pretty much a combination of the cult favorite mamaRoo and a safe, flat bassinet. I felt like for once, I didn’t have to choose between adhering to safe sleeping recommendations while still giving my baby a comfortable place to rest. With 5 parent-inspired motions, 5 speeds, and 4 white noise options, you can find the ultimate soothing combination to help comfort and support your baby – through every nap and good night. Use the Find Your Roo™ feature on the 4moms app to discover the MamaRoo ® motion and speed combinations that are most inspired by your own soothing moves. The 4moms ® app also comes in handy to adjust features, or even set a timer, when you don’t want to disturb baby while they’re catching some zzz’s. App upgrades.When the MamaRoo 3.0 model debuted, it came along with Bluetooth connected app that enabled you to change the motion and speed from your smartphone. 4Moms MamaRoo 4.0 model is more stable and does not drop connection. Our Overall Review

Upgraded mobile.The MamaRoo 3.0 had a mobile that was basically three balls which did nothing. The 4Moms MamaRoo 4.0 version adds touch points—a rattle ball, crinkle ball and a ball with a mirror. Unfortunately, the mobile doesn’t spin by itself Yes. The firm mattress of the bassinet provides a safe, flat sleep surface that follows the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) Safe Sleep recommendations. How can I transition my baby from the mamaRoo sleep bassinet to a crib? Since 1982, PCMag has tested and rated thousands of products to help you make better buying decisions. See how we test. The most challenging part of the MamaRoo to clean is the straps, which aren’t removable from the main frame and have the potential to get a bit grubby. As such, these would simply need to be wiped down with detergent to remove any marks or stains.

Our verdict on the 4Moms MamaRoo 5.0

The unique feature for the mamaRoo4 and the one we love the most is the five different movements. Our 1st child love the motion of the Graco swing, but our 2nd little boy wanted nothing to do with it. Allow parents a chance to enjoy hands-free time, whether it is to enjoy a much-needed break, catch up on some rest or exercise, or even just to complete the mundane chores. I have had this mamaroo for less than a week but my whole family already loves it. I am a stay at home mom. I homeschool three kids and have a one month old. My infant is rather fussy/ opinionated about being held and bounced on a yoga ball. If I wasn’t holding him he was screaming. If I got him to sleep and then laid him down he usually woke 30 mins later screaming to be held and bounced. Needless to say I lived on the yoga ball. It made homeschooling difficult to say the least as well as all the other things I needed to do around the house.
