For safety, the MamaRoo must be used under parental supervision at all times and should not be used for overnight sleeping. It has been tested and certified to comply with European Safety Standards. It’s worth noting that the historical recall of the MamaRoo (due to the harness hanging down and posing a choking hazard when not in use) applies to a previous model only, with significant updates to the design since then. The mamaRoo has five different settings that mimic the soothing motions that seem to come naturally to people when they have a baby in their arms. The motion and sounds are controlled either via the hard buttons on the base of the unit or by the mobile app, which uses Bluetooth to control the seat. Large, easy-to-see buttons make it easier to change settings and power the seat on and off with your foot than previous models. (The buttons sit only a couple of inches off the ground, so using your foot feels fairly natural.) Babies need to sleep on a flat, firm surface. Studies show that babies who don’t sleep on a firm flat surface are much more at risk of SIDS. Thus, swings don’t provide a safe sleeping environment for your baby. She says, “The MamaRoo has lots of choice of movement and sounds, all of which can be changed remotely via the app. This is great if you want to sit down with a rare hot cup of tea.”

Breaking a MamaRoo habit needs to be done gradually. You can do this by introducing a new sleep association into your baby’s routine. And if your baby is older than four months old, you should consider starting with sleep training to help break the MamaRoo habit. It certainly doesn’t come cheap, but the 4Moms MammaRoo 5.0 is a whole new level of baby bouncer thanks to the range of natural parent-like movements that can both soothe and settle your baby. The seat's movements are smooth, although there is a slight increase in speed when changing motions, The seat slightly jolts from one program to the next. Very rarely has it been noticeable enough to startle my baby, and I haven't been concerned at all from a safety standpoint. Besides, she prefers one program above the others (Kangaroo), so we don't end up switching programs often. Comparisons and Conclusions
