Tiny Love Cozy Rocker Napper {Competition + Review}

Last night I breastfed my son to sleep after a week of been away from him. It was so special. I needed to be close to him again to remind myself that being a working mom is okay and that I need to stop beating myself up about this. So I held him close and sang a lullaby while he closed his eyes and drifted off to la la land. This moment took me back to the first day I brought him home.

His tiny feet and fingers. I can’t believe that he is almost 7-months-old! He’s grown so tall that he can’t even sleep in his Cozy Rocker Napper anymore.

Tiny Love has always been one of my favourite brands. I was first introduced to them at the Mama Magic Baby Expo and ever since then I’ve been purchasing their products. A couple of months before Kiaan was born I contacted the brand and asked if they would be keen on working together; A few weeks later I received a big box of their products which I’ve used ever since Kiaan arrived.

I love how dedicated the brand is to helping moms. They even go the extra mile to understand you and what you want in a product.

Their website is loaded with valuable information that can help you choose an age appropriate toy for your baby.

During the first 3 months, it is important that your baby has quiet time for development.

Tip: Let your baby enjoy the gentle rocking movement of the 3-in-1 Rocker Napper while gazing at the musical electronic toy.

By the time your little one reaches the end of the 3-month milestone, they ready to explore.

Tip: Move the Rocker Napper’s hanging electronic toy to the appropriate distance from baby’s palm, so that when baby raises his/her hand, baby can hit the toy or, later, grasp it with ease.

Did you know?

About a fifth of all babies suffer from colic. The 3-in-1 Rocker Napper’s vibrating movements could help babies’ immature digestive system and ease their discomfort.

At 9-months-old your little one has become a little independent – baby would now be able to climb in and out of the Rocker’s seat and enjoy this newly found independence.

Tiny Love created a product that can be used with every milestone until 12-months-old. 

Features:

• Easily converts from seat to comfy napper.
• Soothing movements rock your baby in all 3 reclining positions.
• Adjustable canopy helps create a serene, cozy environment.
• Flat pad (180°) with raised borders offers plenty of comfort.
• Cute musical toy amuses babies while in napper, stimulating their senses and encouraging them to practice their grasping skills.
• Product grows with baby – it is suitable for babies up to 40lb/18kg.

What I love:

• Baby can sleep in it during the day and night (newborn).
• Perfect for small apartments.
• Removable cushions which make washing less frustrating.
• The design of the product – it is gender neutral that will look great with any room.
• The mobile – it can be removed and attached when you want.
• Long-term product – you can even use it when feeding baby a snack.
• The curved base – can be used as a rocking chair or bassinet.
• The Fold-out legs – keeps the base stationary when baby is sleeping.
• Soothing vibration in the base – to calm baby.

What I dislike:

• The assembling of the product – make sure you grab a cup of tea before you start. I followed the video on YouTube which was much more helpful than the instruction booklet.
• The canopy – it is a great feature when baby is sleeping and you want him/her to have a bit of privacy and coziness but mine just wouldn’t stay in and it ended up tearing a bit of the material. I eventually gave up and used the product without it.
• Not enough songs on the mobile. The pitch of the songs is really high, so it’s not something that can be listened to while baby is sleeping.
• The rocker does not collapse, it is light enough to carry from one room to the next but it doesn’t transport easily.
• The loud noise the mobile makes when you turning the arm out – hard to do this when baby is sleeping.

Price:

R 1,999 on www.takealot.com. The product is also available at Baby City and www.babygroup.co.za. (Prices could change)

Mom and Brands Rating:  

I really hope the brand includes a feature that would make it easier to assemble and disassemble for storage – this would really help if you want to travel with the product.
