I really like the idea of a Time Out Rocker but I’ve yet to put it to the test. Does it make a difference having a designated seat to go with the designated time-out spot? I think it might, in a positive way. It would be a constant reminder to your child that there are consequences, and that’s a very valuable lesson to learn for any of us. The natural rocking motion may also help to soothe nerves. You might like to place a basket or small shelf near the chair with books that teach lessons or books of children’s poetry, or even a journal. Encourage your child to express himself in all situations.
Made by Levels of Discovery, the Time Out Rocker is also available in Pink for little girls who need an occasional time-out. Visit BarefootBella.net, where they are priced at $119.95.

Mamas & Papas is known for their line of high-quality toys. We have a number of them at our house and have been very pleased with the appearance and durability. The company’s bouncer promises to deliver that same level of quality. Designed for infants from birth to approximately six months, this Go-Go Rocker is free from the musical and vibrating gadgets that I dislike on many bouncers. Instead, the child’s own movements create a gentle rocking motion.
The rocker features a head support for newborns, a padded safety harness, and a toy bar with three fun (but removable) Mamas & Papas toys. The liner is reversible, so you can alternate between two different looks. The feet can also be locked into place to keep the rocker stationary.
The Go-Go Rocker comes in a variety of color schemes. You can purchase this rocker on sale for $58.99 (roughly half the original price) at FAOSchwarz.com.
