BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft, Cotton, Khaki/Beige

This is by far one of our families most favorite baby product purchases. All babies are obviously very different, so our experience with this product may not be the same as someones experience looking to purchase this item. That being said, my 11 week old grandson loves this bouncer. He is content sitting in it for reasonable amounts of time. He actually looks forward to his bouncer time each day. Mom and Dad never use the bouncer as a baby sitter; they always have some level of engagement with the baby while he uses it, so maybe thats one reason he loves hanging out in it. The three different angle settings are great depending on babys mood. The most upright angle is great when the baby is active and alert. The middle angle is perfect for when baby just wants to relax but not sleep. The lowest angle is nice for baby when he wants to sleep. We havent actually used the sleep angle yet, so not sure how well baby will sleep in it. I imagine our baby would sleep just fine in it if we wanted to utilize it for napping purposes. Before we knew how much baby would love this bouncer, we chose it based on four points: • it is not battery operated and promotes baby to move in order to bounce • it is super easy to clean; just pop it in the washer and line dry (Im sure you could machine dry it on low) • it is made with quality material free of harmful dyes and chemicals • it can be used as a chair/lounger when baby gets older All in all, I am very pleased with the bouncer and I look forward to using for years to come.

I never write product reviews, but this rocker is so amazing I couldn’t not write one. We have a swing and a rocker and neither compare to this. My 3-week-old son was quite fussy going through his growth spurt and cluster feeds. Once we got him into this, he relaxed and was soothed! I describe this chair as “magic” to anyone who asks. If you are hesitant about the cost (I was), I can say both my husband and I feel the mental sanity this saved us was well worth price!

We could not have lived without this seat. I grew up babysitting for boys with a similar seat, and this was the only one I found that was comparable: simple without obnoxious colors and plastic toys with flashing lights and noises everywhere. I think it says to keep it on the ground, but ours lived mostly on the kitchen table (placed carefully and centrally) with Freddie the Firefly on the chandelier above. We spend most of our time in the kitchen, and this let my son be a part of the group. He used this day 1: when too small to put his legs through the holes, we swaddled him and just strapped the whole burrito in - it was perfect. It worked well for us to keep a thick cloth diaper (a gift - it was cute and monogrammed) under his head all times, and when the seat got dirty I was good about spot cleaning it right away. I machine washed it about 3 or 4 times (didnt put it in the dryer) and it looks absolutely perfect. We did buy the wooden toy, which I also reviewed, and yes, spend the money: it feels expensive (at least it did to me) but it was worth it. The baby loved it, and I do think it helped develop his fine motor skills as he worked to spin and manipulate the hamburger. An all-around excellent product.

This chair is magic! Although i have no first hand knowledge our daughter has now been using it for 4 months and she seems to really love it. The best part of this chair is its magical properties. As we all know sometime babies have a hard time pooping on a schedule and this can cause quite the list of headaches for the babies and the parents. Well people look no further. This chair will make your baby poop! Everytime our daughter clips in you can set your watch knowing that when you pull her out your gonna have a full diaper. Magical! Only downside is we do more laundry to clean the blow out stains, twice weekly at a minimum. Soooo 5 stars would buy again, if only they had an adult version! And the spawn poop machine says 10/10 would poop here again baby approved

This is a lifesaver. My grandson went through a period, one month to four months, where he would only sleep if being bounced, ie holding him while sitting and bouncing on an excercise ball. This granny just couldnt do that, when babysitting him. This is such a simple design and well made. It only requires the lightest of movement from your foot, I can sit on the couch, with this on the floor and were both happy. Well worth the price. His parents like it too. Dad can get some computer work done now.

This has ultimately been a good buy for us, although I feel annoyed every time I think about how much it cost. We started using this when our baby was 10 weeks old and we moved overseas. We wanted something lightweight, portable, and easy to stow. This meets all those requirements. I love that I can pick it up and put it in the kitchen or the bedroom or wherever I am. Our baby never really enjoyed the lower seat settings, so we only use it in the fully-upright position. She tolerates it for up to 20 minutes or so, max, but thats long enough to fold some laundry or empty the dishwasher. I also love the design and colors; I dont mind it sitting out in our living room. In the beginning, that was important when I still cared about whether my house looked like a daycare, but now that my baby is nearly six months and crawling everywhere, the whole living room is plastered in play mats and toys. Also, the toy rack is nice (although another annoying added expense). It was the first item my baby reached for, and I believe it was what taught her to use her hands. She was batting at the toy rack a full month before she started reaching for toys on the floor. Finally, I love that this thing is easy to clean. Weve had a couple of blowout diapers while she was sitting in this, and it was so easy to just snap off the cover and throw it in the wash. WAY easier than a baby swing, with all the connectors and parts to disassemble. Speaking of swings, we got this in place of a swing, but I sort of regret that. Her nana bought a swing to have at her house, and the baby LOVES that thing, while she only tolerates the chair. This was a useful buy, but the cost still frustrates me (which is why I only give it 4 stars). If I turn on the fireplace and put baby in her chair in front of the fire, she will watch that thing for ages while sitting in the chair. Also *cough cough* baby einstein works well on those days when youre really desperate for 15 minutes. In other words, this thing keeps baby safe and contained when you need them to be, but its not like baby LOVES the chair or anything.

My mom got this for us when baby was about 3 weeks old because we needed something light weight that was easy to move around our house for baby to sit in. It quickly became his favorite baby item. He loves the natural bounce feature way more than his swing or vibrating chair. What I Love about it, is that it folds flat and is highly portable. Also, even when baby exceeds the recommended weights for each position in the chair/bouncer (20lbs bouncer/29lbs chair) the instructions indicate that the product is still safe to use, just that the bouncing feature doesn’t work as well, so it’s a really great value if you have a larger baby like we do. The pics are at 1 month, 2 months and 3 months so you can really see how well it fits even at multiple sizes. I wish we had this piece of baby gear from day 1. I highly recommend it. Get it for yourself or as a gift for someone who is expecting. The prices on amazon are the best I’ve seen.

My baby LOVES this. So worth the purchase

Highly recommend this chair. Baby loves to bounce in it, play with the clip-on toys, or just sit and look out the window for a few minutes. It’s great to have a few minutes at a time with the baby playing independently. My baby isn’t a good napper yet, so this chair gives me a little time to do things around the house while keeping an eye on him. I can easily move it from room to room with one hand while holding him in the other arm. Get one or two extra covers. Without fail, baby has a blow-out in it daily. Sometimes 3x a day. Amazing, because his cumulative time in it is maybe 90 minutes, max. I’ve tried covering the seat with cloths, but it gets dirty without fail. Before 3 months it was time to change him to the second position and now it’s like the chair is actually purpose-built to make the baby have a blow-out. Every morning he poos on the first cover within 10 minutes of being set down in it— it’s just part of my routine to change the cover. When we used to only have one cover and it’d be line-drying in the mornings, we didn’t have blow outs elsewhere. It really is a magic chair. I recommend this chair to all parents. If your baby has trouble pooping, doubly so.

I cant say enough good things about this bouncer - it was seriously the only thing chair we could keep my son in during the first 8 weeks that he would not cry in. Also, I have no idea why, but for some reason it was really helpful to him for gas / bowel movements. My husband and I called it the poop chair because anytime he was fussing over gas pains or hadnt gone yet, we could put him the chair, bounce him a little bit (which he was very happy to have us do) and the issue would work itself out. Its extremely portable and small so easy to move from room to room or even throw in the car and take with you and you can bounce it with your foot if youre eating / doing something with your hands. I seriously debated buying this chair just because it doesnt look like much and its so expensive, but it turned out to be one of the best things I bought. Highly recommend.
