 | Udo Blenk, inventor of the lolaloo, from Berlin |
"Our first son was very quiet. He slept practically all day long,
and when he was awake, he was for the most part calm.
Our second child was the complete opposite. Lola, after whom the lolaloo is named,
was only content when we were out and about with her in her baby carriage.
The bumpier the street, the quieter and happier the child.
The idea for the lolaloo came to me when I was once again
standing in the garden and rocking the baby carriage while our lunch was getting cold.
How nice it would be to have a helping hand I thought back then.
Today, as I write, our third child is lying next to me in his baby carriage
and sleeping peacefully, because now we have the lolaloo!"
Claudia from Munich
"Our daughter has just reached 5 months but from the start she would only
sleep during the day when we took her for a drive or went for a walk with the
baby carriage. Thanks to lolaloo she now gets off to sleep "alone"-
it's really unbelievable! Many thanks for the totally ingenious invention!!
Once she started to cry after 20 mins. of her afternoon nap and when I had a look,
the battery was empty and the carriage had stopped rocking.. she'd woken up
straight away as a result. Proof that the lolaloo really works! We still like
to go for walks like before but we're pleased that we can stay home when it's
raining now :-)"
Pastor from Coria del Río, Seville
"My little daughter Jimena is just one month old, and although she's nice,
sometimes she takes a long time to get asleep. But now there's no problem because
lolaloo has worked perfectly. I recommend lolaloo as an essential purchase for a baby born."
Noelia from Madrid
"Hi!! This is the best invention I've ever imagined for the peace of my home. Thanks!"
Stephanie from Berlin
"Our 'rock-a-bye baby' loves her lolaloo particularly for getting to sleep in
the evening! After various attempts to get the little one to go to sleep quickly
in the evening, the following turned out to be a guaranted method: we put the top
end of our baby carriage, which the lolaloo is attached to, on my husband's old
skateboard, turn the lolaloo on and our little one is asleep within minutes!!!
After half an hour we turn it off and she stays blissfully sleeping... The lolaloo
has also already proved very valuable for eating out and everyone knows how
awesome it is to enjoy a hot meal together!."
Heidi from Erlangen
"As grandmother and the one who gave the lolaloo as a present, I only get to
witness its benefits every now and then. I think this device is a very helpful
invention particularly for the first 3 to 4 months. The baby carriage stands in
the apartment and the baby can still be safely laid down and calmed there- e.g.
when his parents are eating together, telephoning, when you have visitors etc."
Susanne from Berlin
"The lolaloo is amazing. It was especially useful on our recent holiday because
the baby carriage had to serve as a replacement for a cradle. And thanks to the lolaloo
we were able to spend wonderful evenings under palm trees whilst the little one slept
peacefully in the baby carriage."
Barbara from Berlin
"Both our children are unfortunately too old now to experience the benefits of the
lolaloo but we've given it twice now as a birth gift and it's gone down very well both
times! So, if you're looking for an unusual, easy on the eye, sophisticated gift that
will make the difficult first months easier for fledgling parents, then you are right
on the money (and you can also save money by clubbing together and ordering with friends.)"
Sarah from Berlin
"Exactly like his big brother four years ago, Fynn only sleeps as long as his baby
carriage is moving. As soon as I get in the front door or sit down in a cafe, he is awake
and ready for action. That's what it was like before the lolaloo in any case. Now Fynn
sleeps easily an hour or so, sometimes even longer, thanks to the lolaloo's gentle rocking.
And mom can finally drink a coffee in peace, write an email or- more importantly- play
with big brother without being constantly interrupted."
Cornelia from Kulmbach
"Around 6 years ago, we had to keep our son in constant motion so that he would stay
asleep for longer than 10 minutes at a time. That meant as long as the wheels were moving,
he would sleep but as soon as the carriage stood still, he would wake up again. After
practically 2 hours spent pushing the baby carriage, we were pretty exhausted. Of course
the work didn't go away. Now we have a second child, which we were sure would be a completely
different type of kid. One like many of our friends have: kid in stroller, 10 minutes of
pushing and then 2 hours of sleep. But it was the same thing as it had been years before.
So we had to find some help- which came with the lolaloo. Everything is more relaxed now,
if not all the time, then at least fairly often. Quite often we can even go to church on
Sundays together, thanks to lolaloo. The baby listens to the organ music and then blissfully
dozes off......"
Jens from Berlin
"In the first six months, our daughter was only able to sleep in a moving baby carriage.
The lolaloo definitely brought us some relief because we no longer had to keep the carriage
constantly moving. That provided us with the possibility of putting the time when the baby
was asleep to other uses. We could enjoy the view in the garden and the view of a happily
sleeping child at the same time."
Anna from Berlin
"Hurray!! I had to always dutifully push and rock my first son through half of Berlin
to get him to sleep. Now I just have to move my second as far as the balcony! The lolaloo
goes on and it's off to sleep!! Many thanks!"
Klaus from Hamburg
"The lolaloo is fantastic! THANKS!"
Beate from Munich
"Unfortunately my baby is also a typical "I'm only going to sleep when I'm moving"
child. Thanks to lolaloo I can now go to a cafe with my child and sit in complete peace
chatting with friends. Going for a walk is also nice of course- but just not ALL THE TIME :-)"
Johanna from Bremen
"We always made fun of the people that we have all heard about who put their child on
top of the washing machine to get them to go to sleep. Instead, we found that my husband
usually had to do one lap after the other in the car with our little Isabell. Just so that
Isabell would finally drift off. Now we have our lolaloo and we save a lot on petrol as
well as sparing our nerves."
Julia from Berlin
"The lolaloo is just the thing for shopping. Our first children would begin to cry
as soon as we were in the supermarket and the carriage wasn't moving any more. Now with
our third child I can do my shopping in peace."
Nicole from Potsdam
"My little Max finds it hard to get to sleep. I was always carrying him around the
apartment, or had to go for a stroll with the baby carriage. Now the lolaloo helps me.
I finally have a little more time for me and can at least get a few things done around
the house again."
Stefanie from Hamburg
"As a mother of two, I now have the task of looking after both kids at the same time.
The older one wants to be doing something but, sadly, this is always when the younger one
has to have a nap. And he prefers to do that in a baby carriage which is moving. Now with
the lolaloo we can all go to the playground together: the baby carriage is rocked by the
lolaloo, whilst I am free to attend to the older child."
