Baby Rockers

Baby rockers are an excellent choice for soothing your baby (but not made for sleeping in). These are seats that rock gently when pushed or turned on. They really help calm or at least reduce a baby’s fussiness. 

We’re parents, too, and understand how helpful it is to have a few items on hand to help calm your baby. For some kids (and parents), rockers are a game changer. For others, they're helpful in a pinch. Wherever your kid falls on that spectrum, it’s a powerful tool in the world of sane parenting.

Rockers vs. Bouncers: What’s the Difference?

Okay mom and dad, it’s essential to understand the difference between baby rockers and baby bouncers to make an informed purchase. Baby rockers are designed for soothing and relaxing your baby with their gentle back-and-forth motion, mimicking the comforting movements your baby felt in the womb. On the other hand, baby bouncers are typically flat-based and bounce with your baby’s movements or a gentle nudge. While rockers are perfect for naptime, bouncers are ideal for playtime.

How to Choose a Baby Rocker

When choosing the right baby rocker for you, look for rockers with a sturdy, non-slip base (to prevent any tipping over). Adjustable recline settings are awesome as they allow the rocker to “remain in service” as your baby grows. Also look to see that the rocker has a secure harness system to keep your baby safe and in place. And, while you are considering these features, look for soft, breathable materials and an easily washable cover (this will make clean-up a breeze). And there you have it–the perfect rocker.

Safety Considerations

While baby rockers can be incredibly soothing for your baby, it’s crucial to use them correctly. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and other organizations warn against using inclined products like rockers for infant sleep. It’s very important to always supervise your baby while they’re in the rocker and never let them sleep in it. Also, be sure to secure your baby with the harness and keep the rocker on the floor, away from elevated surfaces (like near the edge of the kitchen table) or even soft areas where the rocker could tip over.
