Nil points
- I found even on the strongest vibration setting it wasn’t enough to rock baby in their pram maybe due to the pram’s heaviness / bulkiness etc.
- some would say it’s expensive considering it is a luxury and not a necessity
- battery drains fairly quickly so you need to remember to keep recharging when needed
- the item is quite bulky, and some parents could argue it looks a bit strange sticking out of the pram
Rating: ✡✡✡
Verdict: The Rockit Rocker is definitely a great invention and compact in size.
Personally, it didn’t work for us and our baby because our baby hasn’t been conditioned to fall asleep by being rocked in the pram, and we found that it was overstimulating for baby. However, it has worked for lots of people and if the baby is used to being rocked to sleep in the pram then this could be a game changer!

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
