A baby swing, like the MamaRoo Swing, can be your best friend in the early months with a new newborn. Baby getting fussy? Pop them into their MamaRoo. Need free hands to prepare a bottle (or do literally anything else)? Pop baby into their MamaRoo.
The MamaRoo swing is one of our favorite options on the market. Read more about our other faves to make the best choice for your family.
What is the MamaRoo Swing?
The MamaRoo is a baby swing suitable for children from birth (with the infant insert) up to about 6 months. In the early months, the MamaRoo swing can be used to soothe and entertain your baby. It has 5 motions and 5 speeds that mimic the bouncing, rocking, and swinging of being in a caregiver’s arms. It also has a toy mobile overhead for sensory stimulation and music and white noise options. Parents love the MamaRoo when their body needs a break from holding baby or they need a safe place to place their baby when they need to attend to another nearby task.
How long can you use the MamaRoo Swing?
Technically, you can use the MamaRoo swing until your baby reaches 25lbs, but we find almost all of our JoyLet families use it until their baby is about 5 to 6 months old. By about 6 months old, your baby will have developmentally - both cognitively and physically - outgrown the swing and will be ready for more active play.
