![]() 5 minutes here or there as long as he tolerated it. To be honest, he hated it at first! What worked a little bit was swaddling him then putting him in. He definitely needed the newborn insert for it at the time. I bought mine off Craigslist almost brand new (it even had the box!) for $100 when my son was 6 weeks old. So it is an item that people either can't live without or wish they hadn't bought just because of the price. ![]() People that would otherwise leave a 3 star review end up leaving 1 star reviews because even though it was sort of useful and good, they expected it to be SUPER awesome all the time given the price. I think it gets such polarizing opinions simply because it is so expensive. My baby is almost 6 months, and we still use it occasionally but not nearly as often as we did early on. We would have gotten more use out of it if we'd bought it at the beginning. I think we bought ours somewhere between 8 and 10 weeks. I would definitely buy it again, but I would buy it before the baby was born and put her in it immediately. It's small the white noise options are built in it has significantly variable settings compared to a conventional swing, so the odds of your child liking at least one of the movements and speeds is much higher than with a normal swing it is small and portable. I bought mine using my BBB %20 off coupon. TL DR: Have the Mamaroo for my 3-month old, and we love it so far! The seat is really easy to remove and machine wash, which I discovered when she had a leaky diaper yesterday. Our Mamaroo stays in our TV room, and I love slipping my daughter into it once she's sound asleep in my arms. No matter what kind of swing you get, there's always a slight chance your baby won't want to use it. So, while it may not be a foolproof philosophy, I think it creates an ideal environment to help your baby like a swing as much as possible. When my baby isn't in the mood to be set down, it doesn't matter what type of swing or chair you give her. Otherwise I think it becomes a negative association thing after a while. Calm the baby down first, and then put them in the swing. Some of the bad reviews I've personally read are essentially, "My baby hated it, so we never used it." While I'm sure this is possible in some cases, I heard a good tip before my daughter was born: Don't put an upset baby in a swing or chair. But I don't really have any other swings to compare it to, since this is our first baby and our first swing. ![]() ![]() The different motions are great, and I love how easy it is to adjust the incline. I love the way it's built, and compact size is super convenient. My husband is a tech nerd, so the instant he saw the Mamaroo, all other baby swings immediately got deleted from our registry. Also it sounds like finding one used, getting as a gift, or buying it within a window for returns is the smartest way to go about it. So, if you had one, did you think it was worth the price?Įven if you got it as a gift, in hindsight would you have bought one yourself?Įdit: Thank you everyone for your excellent stories and advice! It seems like the mamaroo is somewhat of a gamble, your baby might like it, and then it's a glorious contraption, or it might not like it and becomes an expensive floor sculpture. But some reviewers online seem like its one of the greatest things ever. It seems so expensive and baby might not like it, or use it for very long. I'm still on the fence about this Mamaroo thing. We don't have a lot of space in our house and can't fit a swing, so we'll probably get a bouncer because they take up so little space. For those of you who don't know what it is. Hey ladies and gents! Predad here, I'm looking for people's opinion of the Mamaroo.
