The mamaRoo sleep bassinet mimics parents' cuddles to lull babies to sleep
The mamaRoo sleep bassinet looks simple at first glance -- and then it starts moving. The base stays still while the basket itself glides up and down, side to side, in smooth, dreamy motions. There are five different patterns: car ride, kangaroo, tree swing, rockaby and wave. Each of these movements has five speeds, offering 25 total settings. And each one is based on the natural motions that parents make when they're trying to soothe their little ones.

mamaRoo's electric baby rocker can now soothe by Bluetooth
While baby care gear isn't what you'd traditionally expect from CES, 4moms was on hand to demo a new version of its mamaRoo baby rocker. Gone are the days of having to sneak up on your resting child commando-style to switch modes or slow the device down. The mamaRoo rocker now packs Bluetooth connectivity, a snazzy display and an improved rocking mechanism to help keep junior snoozing while you sip a glass of red... for heath benefits. The iOS and Android apps will also let you select from a variety of white noise presets or enable play of your media player via a 3.5mm connector. Devices cost between $239 and $269 depending on your plush fabric choice and are slated to ship soon.
