Ever sat in a café rocking the pram with one hand while trying to drink a coffee with the other?

In this episode of Worth It?, Kathy puts the ZAZU Robby Baby Rocker to the test with paediatric sleep consultant Evelyn Bonney.

Could a pram rocker genuinely make on-the-go naps easier, or is it another baby product you can live without?

Evie shares where it could be genuinely useful - and when it might not be - plus when and why it may be worth looking more closely at your baby’s wider sleep picture.

The ZAZU Robby attaches to a pram or stroller and creates a gentle rocking motion for up to 40 minutes. It also has an optional cry sensor which can restart the rocking when crying is detected.

It retails for S$79.95.

So is it a useful extra - or something you could easily live without?

Evelyn Bonney is a registered nurse, certified sleep consultant, mum of three - including twins - and founder of Evelyn Bonney Sleep Consulting.

She has more than 20 years of nursing experience, including roles as a ward sister, clinical nurse specialist and Paediatric Clinic Manager at International Medical Clinic Singapore.

Her approach is holistic and personalised - looking beyond how a baby falls asleep to understand the wider factors affecting sleep and what will realistically work for each family.

This episode is for general information and discussion only and is not medical advice or personalised sleep advice. If you have concerns about your baby’s sleep, feeding, health or development, please speak to an appropriately qualified healthcare professional.

Always follow current safe sleep guidance and the instructions supplied with any product you use. The ZAZU Robby Baby Rocker does not replace adult supervision and should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

So - is the ZAZU Robby Baby Rocker actually worth it?

How much of the stuff we buy for pregnancy, babies and parenting is actually worth it?

The gadgets. The clever inventions. The products everyone seems to own. The things Instagram makes look essential - and the things you had absolutely no idea existed until someone convinced you that you needed one.

In Season 1 of Straitalking, Kathy Rougier teams up with professionals at Pregnant and Popped for Worth It? - putting pregnancy, postnatal and parenting products in front of people who actually know what they’re talking about.

And there are some opinions.

From feeding, sleep, play and development to birth, recovery, safety and the everyday reality of life with children, we’re asking the questions that matter:

• Does it actually solve a problem?
• Will you really use it?
• Is there evidence behind it?
• Is there a cheaper or simpler alternative?

And, ultimately... is it worth your money, your time and your mental load?

Expect surprise product reveals, straight-talking experts, disagreements, useful advice, plenty of laughter - and more than a few products that might, or might not, get the verdict their marketing department was hoping for.

No perfect parenting. No endless list of "must-haves". No pretending you need to buy your way to being a good parent.

Just useful conversations to help you decide what deserves a place in your home - and what can stay on the shelf.

This is Worth It?
