This book is a FAVORITE in our household and has been since my youngest was 1 years old. We had to purchase another one, because the first one we had got wet and the pages were ruined. Fortunately we were able to find it again. My 4 year old still loves to read this book and even reads it to her little sister who is 2. Definitely recommend this to anyone who has little kids.

Overall, my daughter likes her Mamaroo Plush, but she doesn't love it. As a parent there are some negatives. You have to buy the infant insert. Honestly a product this expensive and designed for infants should have the insert included. Also, the main portion of the straps are NOT detachable from the base. This is awful for an infant product. Who would design an infant product that can't be easily washed completely? We've had several diaper blowouts and even a really bad spit up all over the buckles and you have to "spot clean" them. It is totally gross!! Hopefully the newer model fixes this issue.
