The sturdy hand and foot supports allow for mild or wild rocking, depending on the child's energy level. The spring base makes it possible for a range of ages to rock together. The Octopus head In the middle supports an upright seat and holding tight while being rocked. This allows for more socializing and more children. There is room enough for a care giver, too. The seats at the end are big enough for older children as well as adults. The fun thrill of rocking, individually or in pairs or groups, will make children want to play for longer.

The Albatross supports development of social-emotional skills, e.g. cooperation, consideration and turn-taking.
