Welcoming a beautiful baby into the world is the most magical experience, but all the parenting books in the world can’t prepare you for the change. You’re doing a great job, yet there’s nothing wrong with wanting a little extra support - 4moms Australia is here to provide it.

The mamaRoo4 is unique in the realm of baby seats and swings, but there are a couple that come close to comparing.

The mamaRoo infant seat is designed to comfort and entertain your baby. It can be used throughout the day or when parents need a hands-free moment.

If your baby falls asleep in the mamaRoo infant seat and you’re not able to provide the required supervision, we recommend moving the baby to a separate approved sleep surface.

There is a mobile over the seat that's easy to remove or turn out of the way. This is the only piece of the mamaRoo4 that feels flimsy a bit to me.

I've been much more careful with this new model, and it's holding up fine. Sweet Seat, Soft Speakers Mumsnet user Terriblecreature agrees, saying “My little boy loved this and gave me a second to get a shower etc. Worth the hefty price tag in my opinion.” About the author Luci found it easy to lift her baby in and out of the MamaRoo, with an easy clip harness that made adding and removing her baby a breeze.

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.)The adjustable legs and mesh sides allow the bassinet to fit perfectly next to your bed to provide optimal visibility and also breathability.

The 4Moms MamaRoo Swing does require some initial assembly which took our parent tester Luci and her partner around 20 minutes to complete, with a small number of parts to put together but no additional tools required. Luci’s first impressions of the MamaRoo were mixed. With a modern design, the 4Moms MamaRoo 5.0 has a simple white base and silver frame with a grey/silver cover. Luci felt that the design wasn’t particularly attractive, with the fabric less premium than she would have expected given the significant price tag. Remove the mobile from your MamaRoo by turning it 90 degrees to the left or right and gently pulling it upwards to remove it
