Then returned it. Both our kids didn't like it... Too slow. And the mobile was crazy looking! Why would anyone make dark scary looking balls for babies? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-309246 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:54:51 +0000 Turd Ferguson 309246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my obsessive stalking of all things baby as we get ready to TTC, I did use the Google to check it out, and the reviews overall were pretty...bad. You'd think when you're spending so much money, they'd be nothing but positive! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-309188 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 08:14:03 +0000 kml636 309188@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was thinking of getting this... from this thread though it sounds like it isn't worth the money! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-221303 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 12:51:58 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 221303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and LO has never liked it. I thought It would be great because of the gentle rocking motion but it never did anything for DD except get her in the right position for a bowel movement. We'll be selling ours and getting a swing for the next baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-221263 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 11:08:54 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 221263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: the rocking seems too slow for us too. That was my drawback. Even the newer versions are slow...but i figured for a newborn that'd be nice. After about 3 months it might just get plain boring</p> <p>@scg00387: if we did get it we'd get the plush insert too! It looks way to large for a tiny newborn from what i've seen in pictures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-221089 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 21:28:10 +0000 immabeetoo 221089@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one I got for $100 on craigslist - I figured I could resell it for that much if it didn't work out once our baby is here in fall. The newer ones allegedly go faster but I couldn't tell a difference looking in store vs. ours.</p> <p>It seems like every baby wants something different - so I just liked that it held its resell value.. and I like how it looks! I do think that I'll get the newborn plush insert though, but I'm glad it came with the plush extra seat because the older vinyl one isn't very soft. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-221074 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 21:01:10 +0000 calsmom 221074@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son has it and he likes it! He coos at the mobile when we put him in it. He hated it at first, but now he likes it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-221058 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:14:45 +0000 MamaG 221058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one and sold it on Craigslist when LO was about 5 months old. She only enjoyed it if she was put in it already asleep. But awake, it just wasn't her thing. It ended up being a really expensive and bulky iPod speaker system for us until we sold it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-221051 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 20:04:30 +0000 mrsjazz 221051@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the Mamaroo. I have a friend who has one and her LO loves it. My little girl screams bloody murder when she's in it. I love the different rocking motions and that you plug your iPod into it. It just rocks way too slowly and the mobile is stupid. But the rocking is what my LO hates.</p> <p>Of course my LO prefers the Fisher Price Infant to Toddler rocker (that doesn't rock on it's own!) So my arms hurt!</p> <p>We keep trying to see if she'll use it. She is almost 3 months and no dice. It was a gift, we will probably sell it soon :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-the-mamaroo-swing#post-221017 Fri, 13 Jul 2012 19:15:37 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 221017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I want it! But it seems kind of slow? Can any share their thoughts on it? And if you're considering one: why? and if you would never get one: why?<br /> Here's a link if you don't know what i'm talking about.<br /> <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3739628" rel="nofollow">http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3739628</a> </p>
