Must Have Gadgets

by

The Lolaloo is a clever, German-designed, rocking device that, with bit of luck, helps put baby to sleep.

If you need just a few moments of peace or just have to deal with something other than your baby, this would be a nice gadget to have around. It’s actually an electronic item that rocks your child’s stroller back and forth. Putting them to sleep and giving you just a few moments of sweet silence. The Lolaloo is a battery-powered rocking aid that attaches to a pram or stroller. It is designed to gently and noiselessly rock baby from side-to-side. It simply attaches to a pram using two Velcro straps. The speed of movement can also be altered depending on what works for the baby – slow rock or hard rock?

The Lolaloo uses a rechargeable battery, which lasts between two and four hours. The integrated chargeable battery means that the lolaloo can be applied on a mobile basis, turning the pram into a cradle anywhere - at home, in the park or on the playground. If your baby is particularly restless, you can also convert a regular cot into a swinging cradle with the addition of four BRIO bed rockers and the Lolaloo.

The Lolaloo is only available to buy or rent in Germany, but if it takes off perhaps it will become more widely available. It retails for EUR129 (about USD$175). It might seem pricey but if it helps stressed-out, time-poor parents get some “me” time, the investment is bound to be worth it.

I just want to know where this was when my kids were babies?

About Mom’s Soap Box

Moms Soapbox is a forum for all of the fantastically ridiculous issues that face Moms (and Dads) in today's world of information overload and endless checklists on how to be the perfect parent. My intention is to break some stereotypes about what a Mother should be and share with my readers the experiences I have had in raising my two teenage sons while trying to juggle graduate school, a house full of responsibilities and a desire to go with my gut when it comes to parenting. My hope is to show that you can be comfortable enough with yourself and your family to show the world that it isn't a competition but rather a journey to learn and laugh as much as possible
