product spotlight: maclaren rocker

mom and pop often talk about what baby products we couldn't live without and which ones are just a waste of money. there are a lot of baby things out there and one can get lost in it all. we wanted to highlight some of the things that have made our lives easier and mercer's happier.

the first product we'd like to highlight is the maclaren
rocker. this is a very versatile tool that has probably
gotten the most use out of everything in our stable of gadgets. mercer has taken hundreds of naps in this chair and when he's sick, we use it in place of the crib because you can adjust the angle of the chair to help ease congestion. therefore, you can also use it for playtime, feeding, or just hanging out. since it's a rocker, you can rock your little baby to sleep, but if you want a more stable chair, it has rubber "brakes," if you will, that keep the chair in place. and it has a vibrating feature! and you can attach all kinds of toys to it!

not only does this rocker have tons of uses, it's extremely mobile. the chair folds up easily, can be carried using straps, and weighs almost nothing. don't listen to the reviews you might find on some websites, saying it isn't a good chair for babies under 3 months. rubbish! we've used it since day one. however, all babies are different and this chair just might not soothe your baby as it does ours. but chances are, your baby just won't be soothed by anything.

little mercer gives this product: 5 fingers in the mouth!
