Have you ever wondered about the demographic that spends thirty billion dollars a year on products that promise to make their lives easier? It’s not a big secret. It’s American parents and the baby gear industry. Parents are not just buying basic strollers, car seats, and high chairs anymore. They’re buying high-tech baby gear.
A bassinet that rocks a baby back to sleep when he cries is just one of the examples. It’s a real thing, and if you feel overwhelmed as a new parent, you can pay up to $1,700 for one of these things. It’s a baby swing that moves in all directions, in addition to back and forth.
It’s called Mamaroo by 4moms. It’s a multi-directional baby swing that has been quite popular since its release.
The Mamaroo swings provide you with the option of selecting from five different motions, five speeds, and four sound options, including white noise. Of course, you can also control the swing through your phone or smart device. Instagram is a great example of what I’m talking about. Last year, Mamaroos made a huge splash with social media influencers who swore by its effectiveness.
The company behind the swing, 4moms, was previously teamed with a variety of bloggers. Despite the company’s firm grip on Hip millennial and Gen z parents, the swings have encountered some issues recently.
Because of this, 4moms has recalled approximately two million of its Mamaroo swings and hundreds of thousands of its Rockaroo swing options. Sliding straps, that are connected to the seat, are normally found on the swing, which is a potential danger for crawling toddlers. Reportedly, this is a danger for crawling infants.
A person who is concerned about the safety of the Graco car seat straps may contact Graco to obtain a free scrap fastener to keep the straps within the car seat when not in use (Graco, n.d.). It is uncertain what exactly caused the infant’s death, but it has been reported that the straps may have been involved. For those who desire to calm their child with a swing, there are other options.
Graco was established decades before four moms, but it too has a multi directional swing that plays Lol of Eyes. Because Graco is keeping up with the times, you could say.
Users express their love for the company’s soothing my way swing, which they describe as a ‘saving grace.’ It would certainly be a saving grace for new parents at the end of a long day, wouldn’t it?
What do you think of those hi-tech baby gears? Let us know down in the comments.
