What they say:
“The Tiny Love 3-in-1 Rocker Napper easily converts from seat to comfy napper, soothingly rocking baby in all three reclining positions. Cute musical toys amuse baby, stimulating their senses and encouraging them to practice their grasping skills. The napper also grows with baby and is suitable for babies up to 18kg.”

Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this to a fellow mum because it is useful from birth onwards. It's very easy to set up and easy to adjust the position of the seat once built. The laying down position replaces the need for a Moses basket as there are built up sides on the chair. Once the baby is awake, the chair can be adjusted into a more upright position. It is a lovely design with mobile toys and music. It vibrates gently to soothe the baby. It will grow with the baby to when they can use it as a rocking chair.
How did this product make your life easier?
This makes my life easier as a mum by being able to very easily switch the chair from the sitting position to the laying down position when my baby has fallen asleep. This means I don't have to struggle to try and transfer him into bed while he is asleep and risk waking him up. The toys, music and vibrations keep my baby entertained for a short while.
Would you choose this product to win?
It exceeded my expectations and I would certainly recommend this to friends and family who are expecting a baby. It is great for newborns right up until toddler age so well worth the money.
What changes would you make to this product?
I personally can't think of any suggestions for change or improvement as I am so pleased with the product as a whole.
Tested by mum Vicki Jones for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
I would recommend this because I can eat with two hands again! It's simple and quick to put together and looks great. It's easy to change from sleeper to chair and rocker plus it's lightweight so easy to move about the house. You can just wipe the chair clean as well however I'm not keen on the material as it seems to make our little one a bit hot but he seems happy so I am. It feels sturdy and I'm happy manually rocking the chair when we get a few grumbles as it's easy to control.
How did this product make your life easier?
My little boy loves going in the rocker he likes sitting up watching the lights and listening to the music with the vibration on because of this I can get on with bits and bobs and me and my husband can eat with both hands which as all parents know is nearly impossible.
Would you choose this product to win?
I personally love this product and think it should win as it makes my little man so happy. He doesn't like to sleep in here but as a chair he thinks it's great he kicks about, looks at the lights and hits the toys. It would be nice if you could have the lights without the music but you can have the volume a little lower if you wish. I'm really happy with this rocker and can't see our lives without it. It looks great, doesn't take up much space and is lightweight.
What changes would you make to this product?
If I could change anything about this product it would be the material that lines it this is just because my little one seems to get a sweaty back when in it. That being said he still seems content and plays happily so if I just have to put a sheet in I'm happy with that. Another thing that would be nice would be the option to turn the sound off but keep the lights flashing as the songs get repetitive but again as long as my little man is happy I am.
Tested by mum Lisa Marriott for the M&B Awards 2017:
Would you recommend this to other mums?
This is a great looking chair which does everything you could possible need! A comfortable chair that rocks, entertains, plays music, and importantly folds back on those nice occasions when baby falls asleep! This is really easy to use, gets compliments from visitors and most importantly has one very happy baby getting lots of play time in it! What more could I ask for.
How did this product make your life easier?
This chair can be used when baby is active and wants to play the music is nice, toys look good and baby loves them and as it rocks it can keep baby amused for some time. I have also used it when he is sleepy to let him has a lie down under the toys which are easy to reposition. Great for baby, great for mum! Put the kettle on...
Would you choose this product to win?
I found this looked brilliant and did everything necessary for a happy baby. The additional function of being able to lie it back is a great addition giving some flexibility and ensuring baby’s comfort without disturbing them. This will see baby through for quite some time unlike other products aimed more at younger or older babies.
What changes would you make to this product?
The assembly was actually a little tricky! The instructions were good however and once built this is a very robust product which does everything needed so well worth the assembly jigsaw for the functionality and excellent design. We (baby and parents!) love this product and would highly reccomend. Great price too!

Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
I wish I had had this product when baby was fresh home from the hospital. The Rocker Napper is really well made and has such a simple mechanism to convert the chair into a flat bed. I love the added safety of the sides popping up when the chair is converted into a bed.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
Having a safe, close-to-hand rocking bed for little one to nap in during the day is great. I was never a great fan of the cumbersome moses basket and stand, I think this is a much better solution which is still useful when baby just wants to sit and rock near you when awake as well.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
The pull down stand, when folded up, can give a jerky end to the rocking when it hits the floor, but apart from this, I think it's great.
Tested by mum Sarah Panter for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
The variety of options you have with this product give it the ability to amuse and calm your baby. The soothing vibrations and ability to rock the napper could help aid sleep but on the other hand, the mobile and hanging toys could act as amusement and keep the baby occupied and happy. My little girl had such fun using the rocker napper and slept her time laughing and hitting the dangling toys. She enjoyed the lights on the mobile also. When laying down got boring for her, she could then sit up and still be entertained.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
When my little one was in the rocker napper, I felt able to potter about around the baby and even relax with a cuppa whilst watching her giggle away what she interacted with the toys. All the time, I felt she was safe and secure within the product. Although my baby did not sleep in the rocker napper (as she found it too much fun) I can imagine that it would be a great product to have for a newborn as you are able to rock the baby to sleep, with the help of the vibrations and if the baby does fall asleep, they are safe and secure within the enclosed surrounding.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
I wouldn't want to change the product as my little girl had such a fun time in it, The only thing I could think of would be to make a larger version so my baby could continue to use this product as at 6 months she has now gotten to long for it... I wish I had found this product sooner!
Tested by mum Sarah Edwards for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow mum?
Baby loves the toys that hang down to play with; they are at perfect height and distance can be adjusted. Comfortable for baby and easy to adjust position from supine to seated. Music and lights are a great addition too.
How does this product make your life easier as a mum?
It provides a safe place to put baby with lots to entertain them. Comfortable for baby and if fall asleep, easy to recline into supine position for sleeping.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
To have a powered rocker element to it, rather than having to do it manually.
Tested by dad Adam Males for the M&B Awards 2016:
Why would you recommend this product to a friend/fellow dad?
This design is great it is good for letting my baby nap in it, play in it and I can also sit him up and feed him in the rocker napper. It has a good musical element and flashing lights.
How does this product make your life easier as a dad?
It has flashing lights and music which keeps my little one's attention for a while which means I can get on with some everyday chores.
If you could change one thing about this product what would it be?
Make the actual basket longer my baby is tall and only just fits.
2015 – Shortlisted for 'Best Nursery Product' Award!
Tiny Love’s Nappy Rocker has three different recline positions, designed to facilitate both playing and napping. Overall, the product is a good idea but needs some serious improving to warrant the price tag.
The instructions are complicated and the rocker is really difficult to put together. The end result is not very sturdy and although the age range for the product is 0-12 months, newborn-3 months is probably a more accurate specification.
The mechanism that shifts the rocker into different positions is quite stiff and although the mobile is nice, more dangling toys are required to make it engaging and enteraining.
The product is not quite there yet but certainly has potential!
2014 – Shortlisted for 'Best Bouncy Chair/Rocker or Seat' Award!
The Tiny Love Rocker Napper is innovative and good quality. It's easy to put together and the toy bar with lights and music is great.
The seat is adjustable, with three different recline options, including a 'lie-flat' position that is perfect for napping. The product lasts until little ones are of toddler age. It also wipes clean and the covers can be removed for washing.
It’s quite difficult to assemble – it’s not at all intuitive, and the harness is not very stable.
Overall, it’s a recommendable product.
This clever rocker can be fixed into a static position and reclined fully flat for naps, making it ideal as a daytime bed. Nine musical tunes and a soothing vibration function will help relax fractious babies, particularly welcome if they need a little help calming down before dropping off to sleep, plus there are two toys for them to play with when they wake up again.
