Thoughts on the mamaroo?

waste of money. My son won't even sit in his. I got him a $12 jumper and he loves it lol

i bought one i hope my son likes it there high lol !

I keep seeing that some babies love it and some don't. I wonder why. I've never heard that about any other swing. @mazeyy09

I plan on selling mine. Next babyim gonna go old school with the toys lol they rather you rock them yourself anyway lol

I was going to get one and was so excited because I wanted one for my daughter when I saw it in the nicu but it wasn't in stores yet, and it didn't come out until she was like a year old. but when I got to babies r us, the sales girl I asked told me it's the one swing that she sees returned the most, she said that yes, they're excellent swings, but people are just widely unhappy with it apparently. I have a fisher price one that mimics the mamaroo and my son absolutely loves it, it only has 2 movements, but it works wonders.

My son enjoys his, but also enjoys his 60.00 portable swing. Mine was a gift from my sister.

Hmm I was gonna buy a used one for $125. Bad idea, ladies? @jbingham25 @kayloniandkirksmommy @mazeyy09 @rfsteele

@godsjoi, you can always sell it if your baby doesn't like it. kayloni had a minnie mouse one that swung side to side and boy she hated it, eventually settled on an old school one that went back and forth. but if you swing my son that way, he screams. he's content side to side. it's like hit and miss with babies.

I just don't wanna go through the hassle @kayloniandkirksmommy 😭buying one and selling it and all

@godsjoi, totally understand. I was really upset about selling the minnie mouse one we had. kirk luckily fell in love with his swing right away. I say go for it, but keep in mind it's ultimately up to baby lol.

@kayloniandkirksmommy, yeah I think I will. I was really excited about it. So many different movements, it's appealing to the eye lol & I can control it from my phone. Huge plus!

$125 is pretty cheap to try it out

@mazeyy09, right? I wish I could have found one for that price. I would have bought it to try it rather then the $200+ it is

It's brand new. She said that her son liked his sister's old one better. Tags are still on it! @mazeyy09

Yeah I wouldn't spend full retail on it. I could get a swing and a few other things for that price lol. I love barely used items. The best kind 😊next to free of course lol @kayloniandkirksmommy

omg yes! I'm glad I found my sons jumper at a second hand store it saved me some money just in case he didn't care for it @kayloniandkirksmommy

Exactly!!! @mazeyy09

@mazeyy09, I tried finding one 2nd hand lol. there was a baby boom here and I couldn't even find a pack and play 2nd hand for weeks. I dug my daughter's old swing out for kirk but the motor busted on it :( and I was like "screw it" and went to buy a new one.

I have it and the verdict is this, it worked sometimes but it's like that with any swing, I think because it's expensive people are like, it's pointless, which I agree. You're better off with a swing with two settings and a lot of cushion

They don't stay in them long for that much money I paid 70 dollar my one.. I feel like they are just for show..

My daughter sleeps in it sometimes but prefers to suckles asleep

You mean worked sometimes to soothe the baby? @sunflowerfields or like the swing mechanically didn't work sometimes?

@shayyliynn, this one is used and almost half the price, but I haven't found one that I liked that was cheaper than that 🙁recommendations?

This one is mine I paid 70 dollars for it at babies r us they come in another color I believe. It has 4 settings and music.. I think it's worth it being that she won't be in it long..

I put that mamaroo on layaway when I first found out I was pregnant, I took it off once I saw my cousin only used hers for 3 months..

That one is super cute! It looks really low though. Is it? @shayyliynn

Worked sometimes to soothe her, it worked when she was around three months

@godsjoi, no it's high it's the way I took the picture.

Ohhhh okay @shayyliynn @sunflowerfields 😊
