Every child that I have seen just lights up when they are in this lounger! Every time the child kicks or moves it propels the Leaf, and it will continue that motion up to a half hour. The Nuna Leaf is my favorite baby lounger! With a maximum capacity of 130 pounds, it turns into a toddler seat once the child has outgrown the “falling leaf” left to right motion.

So instead of passing it on to your pal who’s having a baby 6 months after you, you can hang onto your Leaf so your preschooler can perch in it and rock herself with her legs while watching Frozen over and over again. Oh, and one more amazing thing about the Nuna Leaf: unlike any other product we know of that has been invented to rock an infant, there is pretty much no upper age limit for this rocker! It has a weight limit of 140 pounds, so any kid or smaller adult can sit in it. The unique ball-bearing assembly creates an incredibly smooth motion that requires very little pushing from you – just give it a little nudge and it will sway your baby side to side happily for up to three minutes on just that one push! If you want to keep your Leaf stationary, there’s an easy-to-use lock right on the base. It’s comparatively low-tech (no electronics, no sounds, and only one motion), but no less useful when you need to put your baby down, and no less impressive in its design. Nuna is a European company that’s been building lots of buzz here in the US, and among the most spectacularly unique Nuna products is the Leaf bouncer. All in all, this is a fantastic place to put your infant when you need to give your arms a rest. The Mamaroo is one of their most popular and technically advanced creations, with five robotic motions and five speeds designed to mimic the movements real moms use to soothe their babies.Īnd that’s not all: additional features include an onboard sound machine, double-sided hanging toys (one side in black and white for newborns, one in color for older babies), and even an MP3 player you can hook up to play your own music! And it has an adjustable recline and built-in straps for comfort and safety.

Additional features: Lock on base for stationary napping or playtimeĤMoms is one of many companies with a similar origin story: a team of moms came together to create the products that they wanted to use for their own kids.
