She sold her swing for the Mamaroo and her son hated it. She is now borrowing my Snugabunny swing...becaucse he likes that.

I will just be using a traditional FP swing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1395197 Mon, 03 Feb 2014 11:26:43 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1395197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just got mine this weekend (used) and its in perfect condition with the infant insert! I figure I can easily sell it for what I paid for it. </p> <p>I love that the footprint is so much smaller than the other FP swings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1339822 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 16:01:34 +0000 heartonastring 1339822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought one used, but DD hated it (she LOVES her Snugabunny swing though). So I sold it to another mama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1339798 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 15:52:42 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1339798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@dc yoga bee: Mamaroo goes in four or five motions more like what you naturally would do with a baby. </p> [attach=1506/14/mzb3bu.352x290.image.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1339788 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 15:44:53 +0000 dc yoga bee 1339788@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: how does the mammaroo go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1339753 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 15:22:24 +0000 LovelyPlum 1339753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@matador84: It looks like it's the difference in how it moves...the rockaroo goes back and forth from front to back, while the Mamaroo doesn't.

We received a swing and bouncer at my shower and finally gave in and bought the mamaroo at 6 weeks bc she hated both the swing and bouncer. The mamaroo has been a life saver for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1339625 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 13:48:27 +0000 matador84 1339625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The rockaroo is about 180 on BBB where the mamaroo is 250. wondering why the price difference? have been thinking about one for dd.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1339613 Sun, 12 Jan 2014 13:40:32 +0000 Pepper 1339613@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO much preferred his Fisher Price swing!

I think that's a pretty good deal because new it would be $240 plus tax. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1328354 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:25:50 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1328354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kml636: If the new model came out in 2012 there is a good chance some of them on craigslist are the newer model. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1328328 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:17:07 +0000 Ms.SK 1328328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had it for the twins and they seemed to like it. I am not sure if you know but it was very new when I had the twins. We just happened to be at Buy Buy Baby when the sales person was in the store. They took it off the shelf and let me "test" each baby in the swing before we bought it. I did this for play pens, car seats, toys all in the store before I buy things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1328279 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 13:05:07 +0000 kml636 1328279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I was just looking up the new model today. I wanted to get one off craigslist but those would all be older ones I'm sure. I just can't justify paying full price for it. It seems babies either love it or hate it, so knowing myself I'll get it and just sell it if baby #2 hates it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1328083 Wed, 08 Jan 2014 12:09:33 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1328083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@raintreebee: Did you figure out how to tell if its a new model? Or what the changes are in the new versus old? Nevermind, i found a post that said the old (prior to 2012) models have orange buttons on the control panel and the new models have silver buttons. </p> <p>I have two I am looking at used and need to figure which one is the better deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1220483 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 22:58:48 +0000 raintreebee 1220483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Has the new model been out for awhile? I ordered one a couple weeks ago and just want to make sure I got the later version. The store is holding it for me until my furniture arrives. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1220459 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 22:37:22 +0000 brady80 1220459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have it and it didn't do much for her. She never fell asleep in it. I'm intrigued by the new one that actually swings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1220418 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 22:06:32 +0000 Charm54 1220418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have the new model and DD LOVES it. She takes a 3-4 hour nap in it every day. It broke actually and we had to go 4 days without it until they mailed us a new one (great customer service!) it was the.longest.4.days.</p> <p>I know a lot of ppl say their babies didn't like it bc it was too slow - but I can't imagine her going any faster ! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1220355 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:34:11 +0000 artsyfartsy 1220355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just came across these today! I scoffed at the price but after testing out the features I was impressed! Too bad to hear some babies hated them. I think we will stick to a plain old swing anyways. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1220322 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 21:10:38 +0000 Thenetexan 1220322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We borrowed one (thankfully). LO hated it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1218495 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:20:34 +0000 Trailmix 1218495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one and my twins enjoy it! It takes up less space than a regular swing, so I definitely appreciate that...I got ours off Craigslist, wasn't super-cheap but less than what it sells for new...overall, I'd recommend it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1218467 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 09:13:55 +0000 immabeetoo 1218467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had one and LO hated it and wouldn't tolerate being in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1218374 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 08:45:23 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1218374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My sister got one cheap through a local moms group for her twins. They really like it and for a about 6 weeks, it was the only place they could put one of the twins down to nap. She gave it to us and we like it so far, but LO is only 2 weeks, so we'll see how it goes long term. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1218366 Fri, 15 Nov 2013 08:41:06 +0000 Alivoo01 1218366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have one (the 2012 model), and DS likes it! He's slept in it a few times. I put him in it while I brush my teeth, shower, and get ready. Hopefully, we can reuse for LO #2 in the future! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1216969 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:34:24 +0000 calsmom 1216969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep I have one! We like it and are hoping baby number two likes it as much as our son did. We use it solely as a sound machine now that he's grown out of it lol. The new model looks better than our model too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1216955 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 18:30:10 +0000 Weagle 1216955@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard not great things about it, but the new one looks better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-anyone-have-a-mamaroo#post-1216838 Thu, 14 Nov 2013 17:46:05 +0000 LittleGBee 1216838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We got one used off Craigslist for #2, and I was okay spending the money on it because we could sell it for the same amount or maybe a bit more. Also, we have a small space, so it's less of a footprint than a normal swing and it gives me a few minutes to nurse #1, start dinner, or just have a second with no one on me. Sometimes he'll fall asleep in there, but if he's awake he won't last more than 5 minutes. It's pretty cool though. </p>
