Perfect compact rocker
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: LaurenB
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the stellar product testing panel I had the opportunity to test the 4moms rockaroo. My expectations weren’t the highest, I loved the compact design but my little guy is super particular and not a fan of any swing I have put him in. To my shock and delight he was absolutely thrilled in the rockaroo! Grabbing at the mobile about him and smiling about a mile wide, my little man was absolutely thrilled and entertained the entire time it took me to cook dinner! I love that the rocker is compact, it fit right next to our couch. The best feature in my opinion is the rocker does not work until the power button is pressed, not just when the knob is turned, with two toddlers in the house this is a great feature for our family!!

A great entertaining option for parents
on February 13, 2023

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby rocker.
First, the RockaRoo was super easy to assemble and is a great size. One thing to keep in mind is it does need to be plugged in if you want the rocking motion to work. If you want something more portable it would be better to have something that is battery-operated. I suppose we could move it around our house but we don't really because of the plug. My baby LOVES the 3 balls that come with it and that they thought of different sensory things (one is the foil crunchy in the middle, the other has a mirror, the other jingles). It is really fun for my toddler too, haha!
One thing I will mention is that we received this product when my son was around 14 weeks. He is super close to rolling and does have moments where he is just not content in it, and I think that's because he wants to be active. I am certain he would have enjoyed this product more thoroughly if he were younger. We don't use it as much as I thought we would, but I think it's because of his age.
It is very convenient for managing two littles and having a place to set my infant when I need to pump, cook, attend to my other child's needs, etc. and he usually does calm down with the rocking motion which is obviously very nice!
Overall, I think our favorite feature about the rocker is that it is does its job, which is entertain/occupies the children when mama needs a hands-free moment!!

Great rocker
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: Brett
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this rocker through the Stellar Product Testing Panel and have to say that I love it! It is compact and fit perfectly in my living room without feeling like it was taking over. The color is great and would fit with the decor in almost any room. I like that the mobile on top spins all the way around very easily. This was a huge plus when putting my baby in and out of the rocker. I used the rocker for my 2 month old whenever we needed a break from holding him and he seemed content each time. He would look at the mobile occasionally, but I believe he is still a little too young for that aspect of the rocker. The slow, steady rocking seemed to comfort him and allow me a free minute to get a few things done. I also found the rocker extremely easy to assemble, which is always a positive. Overall, I have enjoyed everything about this rocker and would recommend it.

For moms who need more than two hands
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: katrinap10
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Let’s be real. Babies need to be held all the time. If you’re just a little tired of your arms being the only spot where baby is happy… the 4moms RockaRoo is your new favorite babysitter. This swing is the perfect soothing rocking motion to bring out all the coos and giggles as babe checks out the mobile over their head (soft and lightweight balls, very safe). It is quiet, easy to clean the cover, and has plenty of speed options to keep your little one happy. I could not believe how content my 3.5 month old son is in this swing, for almost an hour at a time! He is upright enough to see what’s happening, and calmed by the rocking of the swing. After some time to do my own thing, I am recharged and ready to get back to those precious baby snuggles - and the little man is happy the whole time. Game changer!! If I had a complaint, it would be that the swing is not the easiest thing to transport room to room. However, it is lightweight and the effort it takes to move is worth the happy little baby swinging next to me! Many thanks to the Stellar Panel Testing Panel for hooking me up with this swing.

Small footprint and smooth rocking
on February 13, 2023
Posted by: Sarie
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Have a stage 4 clinger baby? So do we and finding the time to set her down to get anything done without a lot of fuss can be a challenge. We don’t have a lot of space and gravitate towards products that have a small footprint but will get the job done. Enter the Rockeroo and the fingers crossed moment of ‘will she like it’? It turns out that our baby who loves to be rocked in our arms enjoys the smooth glide of the Rockeroo too. Whew!
Opening the box to get to the product was quite the test of patience as the sides of the box are glued shut on all sides. But rest assured, getting the box open was the most difficult part of the journey when it comes to assembly. The Rockeroo is easy to put together with a few clicks and buttons and very easy to operate. There is a dial on the base with 5 speed settings and we find that the 2 and 3 speed setting is good for her. The first setting struggled to move her, so keep that in mind if you have a heavier baby the lower speed setting(s) might not be enough to move them. She is 4 months old and about 14 lbs and fits nicely in the seat. She enjoys watching the balls that hang overhead and the seat cradles her nicely but still supports her enough to see everything around her.
Two thumbs up for the easy zip off seat fabric for cleaning, and that the rocker is relatively easy and light to move from room to room. We use it most in our family room and kitchen and celebrate that it can fit in even tight spaces because of it’s small footprint. What we love most is that we can finally get the simplest things done like brushing our teeth, cooking, laundry and just giving our arms a rest from holding her…all while she is entertaining herself in the rocker and keeping an eye on us.
I recommend giving the Rockeroo a try if you are looking for a simple to operate, smooth rocker with a small footprint. Thanks to the Stellar Product Testing Panel for providing me with this baby rocker.

Calming and cozy
on February 14, 2023
Posted by: Mollee72
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little man loves hanging out in his RockaRoo Baby Rocker, watching his big brothers play around him. At 4 months old, he loves to be down at the level of the fun, but I love that he’s safely off the ground and in his own space while his brothers play and I prepare meals. The 5 different levels of swinging speed are nice for matching baby’s mood. I also love that the RockaRoo is compact and has a neutral design, so it blends nicely into the room. The cover zips off for easy cleaning, and the plug feature allows the rocker to run without having to constantly replace batteries. The mobile feature has high contrast colors and a mirror for baby to look at, but I believe he would enjoy it more if he had something to bat at or if it rotated on its own. Thank you to Stellar Product Testing Panel for sending me this great swing to test!

Solid swing
on February 14, 2023
Posted by: Mikmusic
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was fortunate enough to receive the Rockaroo in exchange for my honest feedback through the Stellar Product Testing Panel.
The rockaroo is extremely easy to put together out of the box. The instructions are easy to follow, and my five year old was an eager helper to put together the swing. Everything clicked in and fit well.
The toys in the toy holder do fall out semi-easily, and I wish there was another way to secure them in the holder. My baby does enjoy looking at them or holding them, so that’s a win!
After I set up the rockaroo, I realized that it must be plugged in to operate the swing. I was a little disappointed, as I wanted to move the swing from room to room, and thought there would be more options to do so. The cord is fairly short, and my outlets are limited, so this limits my use of the swing. I wish there was a rechargeable option so that I could plug in and charge and then move from room to room.
I have moved the rockaroo to a few rooms, and it’s fairly easy to move, but you do really need two hands because it’s fairly awkward to carry.
Once you plug the rockaroo in, there are 5 different swing options, and my baby seemed to enjoy the rocking motion. I personally found that the sound was a little loud, so if you are looking for a very quiet swing, this may not be the swing for you.
I have had success with this swing though, and have been able to put baby down to use the bathroom or have some one on one time with my older children.
All in all it’s a solid swing and my baby seems to like it!

Nice swing to have as an option
on February 14, 2023
Posted by: Rocker
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Thanks to Stellar Product Testing Panel I was able to test out 4moms RockaRoo with my 15-week-old daughter.
I was so excited when I saw the 4moms box being delivered. I have an older model of the momaroo original model that my daughter loves, so I was hoping she'd love this one as much.
After unpacking it I realized it looks exactly like the original model, but went back and forth instead of all around and side to side. The recall issue was fixed and I felt no safety concerns. The seat seems comfortable and held my daughter nicely. One side of the balls was black and white, perfect for newborns to look at as their eyes adjust. The single button to adjust the speeds was easy to use and see. The whole swing was light and easily portable. In all, it feels like a safe and sturdy dependable swing.
Unfortunately, my daughter did not share my appreciation of the swing. Even though I've tried putting her in it several times in the weeks I've had it for testing, the longest she's stayed in it was ten minutes. She just does not seem to like being in it, no matter what speed it is on. Plus the speeds seem to be pretty close to the same, although the highest speed is very high and she really didn't like it.
Perhaps if the swing had music or white noise of some sort and the lowest speed just rocked a little my baby would have liked it.
This is a good swing, but it will depend on your baby if it is the swing for you.
