well you see, you get 15 different rocking cycles, and it can record your own distinct rocking patterns to exactly mimic a hand-rocked cradle… plus you can control it with an app and have it rock in beat with spotify….

i just made all that up but maybe some of it?

Perhaps stuff like this will have the unintended consequence of getting parents to see the issues of these “convenience” tools toys.
