Rocking all over the world -  by Guest Blogger Matt Dyson from Rockit

Rockit is portable baby rocker that fits to any pushchair or pram. It gently rocks to help maintain babies sleep when the stroller stops moving. It was developed by myself and 2 other dads on mission to help other parents safely soothe their babies to sleep. Rockit took 2 years to develop and is now widely available from independent nursey stores, John Lewis, JoJo Maman Bebe, Amazon and via our own website www.rockitrocker.com It is also being sold in over 40 countries all over the world.

​Nick (my brother-in-law) invented it in 2015 when his three-month-old daughter Abby always woke up in the pushchair when it stopped moving. He noticed this problem affected other weary parents and one evening had a lightbulb moment. He took an old printer apart, salvaged the motor and soldered together a simple control circuit. The resulting prototype worked and the very next day Abby remained asleep even when the pushchair stopped moving. Nick set about developing the prototype with help from myself and another friend and over the next couple of years we turned the original prototype into Rockit, a rocket shaped portable baby rocker that was launched to critical acclaim in 2017.
