Rockabye baby

Cramped for space in your apartment but still want a baby swing? The mamaRoo has you covered.

This hi-tech product doesn’t take up as much room as your typical baby swing, primarily because it isn’t really a baby swing — it sways from side to side, or up and down, mimicking the movements of parents — perfect for comforting and calming your baby when you don’t have your hands free.

The mamaRoo has five motions, ranging from “Car Ride” (a figure eight) to “Ocean Wave” (around in a big circle). It also comes with a toy mobile with plush toy balls decorated in the style of classical artists (Van Gogh, Monet and Seurat), built-in nature sounds, or a hookup for mp3 players so you can choose your own music.

The mamRoo is suitable from birth to 25 pounds. $199, For more info, visit www.4momsonline.com/mamaroo.
