The mamaRoo is a fairly new product so please, please keep an eye out for any possible recalls or evidence of danger.
The design follows sleep safe guidelines including a flat sleep surface and breathable mesh sides. We have used this with our newborn for a month now and do not feel that it is unsafe. It’s not an inclined sleeper which have had trouble. The motor and other electronic components seem fairly robust too (so far anyway).
Assembly and setup was a breeze. No tools required.
For our baby, successful sleep on the mamaRoo is hit or miss. We’ve nailed down when he is likely to sleep comfortably with the motion, and in those instances it is amazing. Even when the motion is not active, the shushing noise seems to work on our baby, which is nice. There are also different motion types and speeds. I think for our experience it is worth the price. Just keep in mind that your mileage may vary.
Some challenges include motion that isn’t perfectly smooth. Fortunately it’s sufficient, but I think that if the motion was smoother babies could sleep a little more comfortably for longer. Typically, movements across the center of the mamaroo are jerky, especially if you’re crossing the center at top dead center. As an engineer, either there is some defect or more likely it was just a matter of how much time and money went into the design and sourcing of parts. It’s not to say the design is bad, but there’s definitely a tradeoff for the cost. Movements may be jerky, and it’s also noisy. The noise isn’t bad, at least for our baby, because it worked as white noise.
There are more expensive moving bassinets that probably address some of these drawbacks. I assume, anyway, because I didn’t want to spend an exorbitant amount of money for something that may or may not work. I think now, if I felt the need, I’d be more comfortable investing more in a moving bassinet – but the mamaRoo worked as an entry point to see if it would work for us.
Not perfect, but still great* (*if baby likes it) If I could give it 4.5 stars, I would.

Literally the best thing. I use this for my son who i had in October and he now sleeps through the night at 2 months old! Between this and the summers infant swaddles he’s doing amazing!
