Personally I loved the mamaroo it was a life saver for me many nights that my son was fighting his sleep I got one for 80$ off a resale sight definitely buying another when I have another child I personally thought it was definitely worth it!
@ashleybradford92, we had a swing that just went front to back that my first one HATED, so I'm debating if I should just get a fisher price swing or the mamaroo
