The science
When Dr Nick Webb (PhD in Sound and Vibration Engineering) noticed his three-month-old daughter Abby would wake as soon as her buggy stopped, he decided to invent a solution.
He came up with a clever mechanism, that creates a side-to-side motion when it’s attached to a pram. Scientific tests show that the vibration level closely mimics the normal hand rocking of a stroller and the subtle, yet soothing movement is gentler than a pushchair moving over paving stones. It was perfect for keeping babies moving and snoozing!
During product development, an adjustable speed dial was added, which lets you find the most effective rocking motion for your pushchair model and for your baby.

So many Mums and Dads have thought about inventing this little baby and why? Because rocking is the one thing that most babies need, to go to sleep in the stroller!
Usually, Mum or Dad end up eating their lunch cold or a toddler misses out on a swing because mum has to the rock the stroller so baby can go to sleep.
Such a simple idea but such a lifesaver!
Simply attach to your pram or pushchair with our universal bracket, push the button and adjust the speed to gently rock your baby, just like you would. In fact, scientific tests show the vibration level closely mimics the normal hand rocking of a pushchair and the subtle yet soothing movement is gentler than a pushchair moving over paving stones.
Gentle 30 minute rocking cycle. The Rockit has a built in timer which turns off after 30 minutes. It can be re-started by simply pressing the on/off button
Takes 4 AA batteries. 60 hour battery life which means an hour a day for 2 months ….. awesome!
Rockit has been tested to IPX1. This isn’t ‘Rockit Science’ it just means it’s showerproof but please avoid long periods of time in the rain.
Quiet motor with adjustable speed. The motor is so quiet (our boffins tell us 40 decibels) it could even be used in a library. The speed can be adjusted to give the perfect gentle rock for your child.

About the Rockit Baby Rocker
Using the universal bracket which is supplied with every Rockit. This can stay permanently fitted to the pushchair or pram but can also be removed and re-positioned if required. The Rockit then slots in and out of the bracket very quickly and easily. We also sell spare brackets if you would like to fit one to a different pushchair, stroller or buggy. There is a video to show how easy it is to fit – click in the link at the bottom of the page.
The Rockit is suitable for use with children from birth up until around 3 years old. Our own children still slept in the pushchair up to age 3, so we think it will be useful for several years if bought at birth.
If your Rockit does not start, or takes multiple button presses to start:
Make sure that it is not mounted flat on its side – it should be pointing up as close to vertical as possible with the button on top. Most commonly it will be mounted on the side of a stroller at around 45 degree angle and should work well like this.
Check you are using decent batteries. There are some shockers about at the moment – we recommend GP Ultra Alkaline batteries. The worst type for the Rockit are Zinc Carbon batteries which do not have enough power (often sold under Kodak or discount supermarket own brands) – avoid these like the plague.
Does the Rockit work with all different makes of pram and pushchair?
Please watch this You Tube video for some great hints and tips about how to get the best out of your Rockit Rocker.
Yes, we have had some great feedback from parents with twins. If you mount the Rockit vertically (on the top of the side bar) and as high up as possible it has enough leverage to rock even a double stroller. Parents of twins have said it is great for keeping one twin happy while the other one is changed etc.
NB. Some newer models have a 60 minute timer – please check your packaging/user guide for the version you have.
The Rockit has a timer as is not designed to keep a child asleep for an extended period. It is meant to be a helping hand to soothe a baby and help them drift off to sleep or maintain their sleep when the pushchair or pram stops.
It is normal for there to be some knocking at certain speeds and angles of use. There is a spinning weight inside and the knocking is caused by it moving up and down slightly on its spindle. It does not indicate a problem with the device. You may also hear some noises from your stroller as it moves.
Yes, these can be ordered from us – just click here.
1) Use good quality Alkaline batteries. Some cheap batteries are only suitable for low-drain items such as remote controls or clocks. Good quality Alkaline batteries should last much longer.
Definitely avoid Zinc-Carbon batteries (often sold under brands like Kodak in pound stores), these are not suitable for the Rockit and struggle to start the motor.
2) You can use re-chargeable batteries. NiMH rechargeable batteries can last even longer than Alkaline and only cost pennies per charge.
3) Mount the Rockit as close to vertical as possible (pointing up with the button on top). Battery life will be reduced if used flat.
4) Try slower speeds, using the dial on the bottom. Sometimes the best rock can be achieved at a slower speed, it does not always need to be fast!
The Rockit is showerproof (tested to IPX1 standard). Avoid exposure to prolonged or heavy rain.
The Rockit was designed and tested for pushchairs and prams. A helping hand when you are out and about. Rockit was extensively safety tested by Intertek, a global product testing company and they felt that it might be mounted by a tired parent on a bar inside the cot, where the baby could snag clothing. Because we want to adhere to the highest safety standard for all our products we’re not able to recommend use on cots, cribs or Moses baskets.
Yes. We have based the rocking motion on the way parents rock their children by hand. Scientific tests show the vibration level closely mimics the normal hand rocking of a pushchair and the subtle yet soothing movement is gentler than a pushchair moving over paving stones.
We think so. We designed a universal bracket (included in every box) to fit tubes of all different shapes or sizes, whether they are square, oval or round. Our lead designer spent many a long hour in baby stores testing on 40+ different pushchairs in order to perfect the bracket. We can’t give a 100% guarantee on this because there are always new products hitting the market but we do believe that there should be somewhere on any pushchair that the Rockit will fit.
