Which baby rocker to choose?

THIS is the piece of furniture that you absolutely need when you are back from nursery. Why? Your little baby might request a permanent presence, might need to be slightly rocked to fall asleep and lying down position could not be possible if his/her stomach is sensitive. Unless your crib has wheels so that your baby can stay close to you in every room of the house, unless your arms have been trained for Baby Olympics, you will need a baby rocker.

Some key things to remember before choosing a baby rocker: Can the chair welcome new born? Can you actually rock the baby with the chair? Are the fabrics washable? Is it heavy? Are there some straps to hold baby? Is the colour compatible with inevitable stains? Can baby sleep and play in it? and finally is this really comfortable for a baby to stay hours for years?

Among the trendy baby rockers, my favourite is the Bamboo model from Bombol and designed by Frederic Gooris. All the criteria mentioned above are smartly addressed. Design lovers will be tempted by many of the colours proposed: yellow, beige or grey (cf hereafter).

Another proposition is the Coco rocker from Bloom Baby. The lines will easily merge into your living room. 2 woods are available: wenge or birch, and several colours for the fabrics (white, black, blue, etc).
