According to its manufacturer, the mamaRoo Infant Seat is designed to swing a baby "like you do." And largely, parents agree with this assessment, though this baby swing is one of the most expensive you can buy. The mamaRoo baby swing can move in three directions: back and forth, side to side and up and down. Additionally, the mamaRoo can emulate five kinds of motion, including car ride and kangaroo. The swing also features a mobile that is designed to grow with your baby. Professional reviewers and many parents agree that the mamaRoo is an excellent baby seat/swing because its variety of movements does soothe most babies. However, the mamaRoo is a pricey buy.
