A Message from the Moms

Like all 4moms® products, the mamaRoo® is truly remarkable. From planning to production, it was shaped by the expertise of designers, doctors, nurses, and most importantly, hundreds of parents. Our team used motion sensors to measure the movements of real moms and dads as they soothed their babies, and guess what we found? Parents don't vibrate like bouncy seats or swing like swings. They bounce and sway. So we built the mamaRoo® to do just that - to move "like you do." This isn't just another infant seat. It's our baby. And we made it for yours.
