Toy Review: Mamaroo

My son, Graham, just turned three months old today.  For the past few weeks he has been smiling and learning to focus on people and things around him.  It is the best thing in the world to see him smile.    

But during those times when I need to have a minute to get some things done around the house, Graham gets to enjoy the mamaroo.  It is like a futuristic swing.  We love it.  It has five unique motions including Car Ride, Kangaroo, Tree Swing, Rock-A-Bye, Ocean Wave with five different speeds.  Our favorite is the car ride on the fastest speed.  It includes a removable toy mobile with three plush toy balls decorated in the style of classical artists (Van Gogh, Monet, Seurat).  We love the five built-in nature sounds, plus a hookup for any mp3 player.

                                                 

The mamaroo is great for putting Graham to sleep and for times when he is awake and just wants to look around.  It is a bit pricey, but has been great to have.
