What is a baby rocker?
A baby rocker is like the rocking chair you might have on your front veranda, except it’s for little ones! Your baby can lie down in the rocker, which gently rocks back and forth when you push on the base.
When can a rocker be used?
A rocker should be put away when the baby starts to sit up (around 5-6 months). Otherwise, the rocker may wobble when trying to sit up, resulting in a fall. Manufacturers also list weight restrictions that should be followed.
Why do you need a baby rocker?
Note that although rockers, bouncers, and swings are great to have, they are not necessities. That category includes diapers, wipes, car seats, cribs, and the like. While children can survive without them, rockers are convenient baby gear that offers a protected spot for a baby to stay put while mom or dad goes hands-free. Anyone who has ever looked after a baby can tell you how challenging it is to find a few minutes to complete routine tasks—like taking a shower, getting dressed, or even reading a book—without your little one demanding attention.
Rockers make it easier to get a break from holding your baby all the time. Whether you are cooking, doing some household chores, or just trying to relax (something all parents of newborns need! ), having a safe spot to place your little one can come in handy. Baby rockers can be a lot of fun for babies. Everybody can have fun with the repeated motion and the toys or music typically attached to the chairs. You will understand what we’re talking about if you have witnessed a baby rocking back and forth while grinning broadly.
Rockers are great for children because:
- Their ergonomic design gives babies the feeling that they’re being held. This helps provide them with the comfort they need.
- They are portable and easy to pack — ideal for traveling.
- The rocking motion can help develop your child’s balance because swaying enhances the vestibular system.
Baby rockers can also help naughty babies calm down. So, while rockers are unnecessary, they can be precious for both parent and child if you have a budget.
Baby rocker safety
Keeping your little one safe is your number one priority! That means a few things to consider when using a baby rocker. We will review those safety considerations before giving tips on choosing the perfect rocker for your little one.
Check the weight limit
Your child will eventually outgrow their rocker, as much as you might wish them to stay tiny forever, and it might be pretty close! Once your baby reaches the rocker’s weight limit (see the packaging for details) or learns to sit up, you must cease using it.
Buying guide for a baby rocker
Now that you’ve read those safety precautions, it’s time to select a baby chair for your nursery. Here are some considerations to remember as you choose one that is safe and fun for your household and family.
How long will you use it?
As was already said, you should stop using the baby rocker when your child can sit independently—alternatively, for a few months. While you should still choose a high-quality baby rocker, remember that this isn’t a long-term investment.
Does it need batteries or a plug?
Some rockers are simple and elegant and only need a gentle push to start rocking your baby. Some other rockers, bouncers, and swings use a plug or battery to play music, vibrate, swing, rock, or light up.
Will you travel with it?
If you are on the go a lot and your baby will be along for the ride, think about whether you will travel with your baby rocker. If so, take that into account when shopping around. You can find one that is light and foldable.
Can you clean it quickly?
Babies are undeniably perfect and priceless, but they can also be filthy. Your rocking chair should be easy to clean, just like any baby gear. We have given easy-to-clean items top priority. Because of this, our crib mattress cover is 100% machine washable and detachable. But it goes beyond that. Our Crib Mattress can be cleaned from cover to core.
To narrow your search, consider where you will use the baby rocker and how often.
Consider the following:
- how much space it takes up
- portability
- how it moves (by pushing, battery, or electrical outlet)
- settings, such as sound, speed, and vibration
- ease of assembly
- sturdiness and stability
- comfort of seat
- easy cleaning
- head, neck, and back support
- weight limit
- harness
