In honor of their recent rockaRoo launch, 4moms polled it’s over 95,000 fans what their favorite songs were to soothe their little ones. The poll results proved that the classics never go out of style. While most parents and babies prefer innovation in baby gear, they don’t always prefer the modern tunes of today.
“4moms is known for its innovation, but we also have a deep appreciation for the classics,” said Rob Daley, CEO of 4moms
More than 65 percent of the poll takers named traditional lullabies as their go-to music genre. Composer Johannes Brahms was the most frequently named artist with his timeless “Lullaby.”
Classic titles like “You Are My Sunshine”, “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, “Hush Little Baby” and “Rock-a-bye Baby” ranked as the most popular songs.
Rounding out the top three most popular genres behind traditional lullabies were rock or pop and country. Not surprisingly, John Lennon and The Beatles still have the magic touch, being named as the second most popular artist, with “Hey Jude” occupying a prominent spot on poll takers playlists.
Following closely behind The Beatles in the top artists category were Jewel, Jack Johnson, Adele, Taylor Swift and Kenny Loggins (thanks to his children’s album Return to Pooh Corner).
The survey uncovered a range of unexpected songs, from Sir Mix-A-Lot’s ‘90s hit “I Like Big Butts” to “Some Nights” by a current favorite, Fun.
4moms has recently launched the rockaRoo – an infant seat that flips the traditional swing on its head literally with the pivot at the base. The rockaRoo moves like a rocking horse to maximize a baby’s sensation of motion. At 70 percent smaller than a typical swing, it is also significantly less clutter. It features five speeds and an mp3 player that lets baby listen to his favorite tunes, whether it’s a centuries-old classic or the latest Taylor Swift release.
The 4moms rockaRoo is available today at buybuy Baby and Target and retails for $159.99 for the Classic model and $179.99 for the Plush model.
Based on the results, 4moms has created a special rockaRoo Spotify playlist that includes respondents’ favorite tunes, from the most popular – “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star” and “Baby Mine” – to the most original – “One Love” by Bob Marley and “Wagon Wheel” by Old Crow Medicine Show.
