MamaRoo Sleep Bassinet

We purchased two for our twins- it’s a good price point for a smart bassinet with so many features so this was affordable to us compared to some other that are on the market that we out of our price range especially since we were looking to buy two. I absolutely loved them and we used them right up to weight limit since our boys were rolling over or pulling themselves up yet. One got a little squeaky but that usually happened when we put it on high right away and the baby was closer to the weight limit. It’s been a few months without use and I pulled it in again and it’s not squeaky anymore. We also purchased the basket to go underneath which was handy for storage and makes good use of the wide base space. Overall I’m happy with the 4moms products for their sturdiness, quality and innovation

Omg I’m so glad we bought this thing. It’s been night and day for keeping baby asleep when putting her in her bassinet. Among the common complaints: • It’s true that the physical buttons suck. Now I got the hang of it (press hard near the middle), but there’s no excuse for physical buttons not to work on a device that is this expensive. Thankfully it doesn’t matter because… • … the app had been working perfectly for us. The only thing is that we take shifts and it will only allow one phone at a time, so we have to remember to kill the app for the other person’s phone to connect to it. Which is quite alright, and past that the app works pretty much flawlessly. • No screeching or loud clicking so far (there’s the occasional subtle clicking, which then goes away). I understand the people who are annoyed that they got that, I’d feel the same way. I would totally open it up and fix it the way those countless YouTube videos instruct to, but I’m pretty glad I haven’t had to… so far! We turn it on when baby fell asleep and we want her to stay asleep, but we always put it on a reasonable timer, often around 20 minutes, so she keeps being comfortable on static surfaces. After that, she stays asleep and sleeps for hours. I snapped and impulse-bought this when she turned 2 weeks old, and it’s a significant amount of money, but I’m very glad I spent it!

ETA: after 2 months of use, the bassinet is now squeaking so loudly it wakes our baby up. There seems to be no way to fix it so we have to use it off, so $500 down the drain! Original review: We're travelling for an extended period with our LO and so purchased this bassinet. We also own the pack and play which we love but the similarities stop there. We own the Snoo and I'll just start here by saying it 100% worth the money and definitely our preference. Please excuse any brevities or typos I'm a FTM typing this while my LO sleeps. After one month of use, the mamaroo bassinet squeaks, malfunctions, glitches both manually and on the app. I'm also so disappointed to see that the sheet that comes with this doesn't attach to the Velcro?? I picked up baby girl this morning and the sides of the mattress were completely lifting which is insane and almost exposed her to the hardware underneath. I only know this because the other sheets I purchased have the Velcro strip which attaches safely to the base and keeps the mattress in place. If your baby moves like mine (which pretty much every swaddled baby does) then you May end up having to retire the sheet that comes with the bassinet. Please note that she only lightly wriggled for about 2 minutes max until I went to pick her up and noticed that. That's the reason I'm writing this, but back to the glitches. Don't even try and increase or decrease levels. The touch pad on the device glitches constantly all over - even the on and off button. Just this morning I "fought" with it while trying to soothe baby girl, which makes maybe time #20th and we only use it at nights. I have to constantly restart the app to get it to apply any of my settings. The app I can understand, but when the device itself doesn't respond, that's very unfortunate. I would advice if you still go ahead and purchase this that you should try and turn it on first before putting your baby in. That initial start jolt is enough to (and has) wake up them up after even a nice and elaborate wind down routine. We have to try and hover and time it to place her down gently. Also note that it shuts off after 4 hours and there's nothing you can do save and except to turn it off and on (if the app even responds) to restart those 4 hours. I understand why the feature exists but I do not like that I don't get a choice. It gets 3 stars because it is safe at the end of the day, a compact enough size and I like that the sides are mesh so I'm never afraid that if she rolls to the sides that anything will happen. It also means I can stay from the bed and see if she's stirring. Since we haven't tried and gotten a new bassinet it's obviously still satisfying our base needs for now but for the price the list of issues is very disappointing.

I was not sure if I want to splurge but it’s so worth it! Wish I had it sooner! I hope it works well in coming days will be observing it
