Customer Reviews

There are some 80+ reviews on the product already - so I won't go into great detail here. Here's my brief observations for the 2010 model.
Please note that there is a newer 2011 model - make sure you are getting the 2011 model (see how to determine below)
PROs:
requires less space than traditional swings
doesn't require batteries
contemporary 'hi tech' design aesthetic
available in pleasing non-bright/playroom colors
aluminum framing is nicely designed and easy to assemble
works to calm easily soothed babies - might save your sanity (if your baby like it)
CONs:
motor and gearbox is loud (addressed in 2011 model)
harness clips are hidden behind fabric (to make it look nice) - but very frustrating to undo clips in this configuration. (addressed in 2011 model)
can't recline to a completely horizontal position
would be significantly more effective if it moved faster
moves in only 2 axis - it doesn't rock back/forth
small seating area (slightly larger in 2011 model)
mobile is simple design and does not move/rotate. it's a shame that this was NOT fixed in the 2011 model.
THE 2011 UPDATES:
new gear box - claim is half as loud as 2010 model
easier to access buckles
wrap around seat fabric - looks nicer, larger seating area
reshaped base - nicer rounder design
HOW TO DETERMINE IF YOU ARE GETTING A 2011 (version 2) MAMAROO:
sadly, there is no easy way to determine if you are ordering an older model.
at this point in time (Feb 2011) both products are shipped in the EXACT SAME BOX and have the EXACT SAME SKU (barcode).
your best bet is if the product is listed as a 2011 model.
if you can open the box before purchase, you can easily see if the harness has the NEW or OLD logo. the old logo is two colors and has four dots over the "O". the new logo is sleeker, one color, and the "4" is in a square.
if you look carefully on the outside of the box, there is an eight digit number embossed next to the bar code (it's almost invisible). this is the manufacturing date in the following format YYYYMMDD. any date Nov 1st 2010 (20101101) should be the 2011 model.

I originally had a traditional swing and my daughter loved it. Unfortunately it stopped working after just 2 weeks so I had to look for an alternative. I stumbled on the mamaroo and was intrigued. It is small and plugs in so no batteries. I like the mp3 player feature and the white noise sounds are better than the old swing. But my daughter is what I would call a motion junkie and the mamaroo doesn't move fast enough to soothe her. Sure I can put her in it when she's already asleep but if I put her in it awake, she only lasts a few minutes. And forget putting her in it when she is upset. Also, the mobile is really lame. It doesn't move. I don't like the harness at all. I know you are always supposed to strap your child in but when they are too young to move those harnesses just get in the way. I would often put my daughter in her swing swaddled. The mamaroo makes it impossible to put your child in without the harness; my daughter would slide out. So if you already have a pretty calm baby the mamaroo is great. If your child needs a little more movement to be soothed, skip the mamaroo.
