BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft, Mesh, Silver/White (005029US)

Guys. I know what youre thinking - this product is really expensive, cant we just skip it? Please ask yourselves the following questions: Do you like showers? Do you like to use the bathroom? Do you need to make food to survive? If you answered yes to any of these questions, dont skip it. My baby practically lived in this thing and the RockNPlay for the first couple of months. I didnt get any of the swings/Mamaroos, etc. because our apartment is pretty small and those things take up so. much. space - this folds right up so you can store it away when not in use and, when we took weekend trips to visit grandma and grandpa (in the car), it was super easy to bring with us. Now, theres a model out there that has a toy bar. At one point I thought, it would be great to have a toy bar... but then I just pulled it up to our activity gym and - tada - toy bar. But mostly my guy was perfectly happy just checking out his hands or interacting with me. Also - when they finally learn they can bounce in it, its really cool to watch their little faces. I wonder if thats what my face looks like when I walk through the double doors at Starbucks...

Did not originally get a bouncer or put one on the registry; however, I struggled with where to set my baby down throughout the house or while cooking besides tummy time... this was the perfect answer. She likes being able to see whats going on and this sits her up. Can use anywhere in the house. Very high quality, and nicely washable for blowouts/spit ups. Baby is pretty content in it. Its lightweight and portable and folds nicely so you can take it anywhere (friends house or in-laws etc.)

I LOVE this chair. I have 13 months old twins and these chairs are by far the best purchase I made for them. Its the only piece of baby equipment that has stayed useful for more than a few weeks. We started using these around 3 months for the babies to lounge in, fully reclined, and then started doing their bottle feedings in them around 5 months. We still use them multiple times per day for bottle/sippy cup feedings, and for when there is only one adult around or I need to cook/clean/whatever and need my twins to stay out of trouble. The covers are super easy to take off and clean up really well in the washing machine. Its also amazingly easy to change the angle of the recline, fold them up, and move them around the house or travel with them. These are just ingeniously designed. In terms of fabric, I have a mesh one and a cotton one. I dont recommend the mesh, as its a little rough. The cotton ones are better.

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 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.

Our baby literally lived in our arms for almost two months and then we found this. This was a game changer for us , she happily sits in this for straight 30 minutes without fussing or crying. Happy that we found this product.

Exactly what I was looking for. Pull out of the box, lift, insert baby, done. No assembly, no blinking lights or motors, just great design. Folds up nicely for easy travel to grandparents houses. Our daughter loves to look around in this and falls asleep in it. I love that it grows with her and she can use it into her toddler years as a lounging seat. Although its pricier than most infant seats, if you are looking for a solid design without having to compromise your aesthetic, I would definitely recommend. It would be great if you could purchase additional covers separately, as they are removable. UPDATE: Once our little one could sit up unassisted, we didnt really use this any more. I found that if we put her in it, she was struggling to sit up straight. Im going to hold onto it and see if once she understands the concept of lounging if shell go back in it (without the front harness of course). The nice thing is that this easily folds up and can go into a closet until then. So from birth until about month 8 this chair really was invaluable.

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!

This seat allows baby to be active while mom can interact with baby.

Prior to our baby being born, we purchased a swing because I had previously read you do not need both a swing and a bouncer. However, our son doesn’t like his swing because buckling him in makes him fussy, and even though our swing has a detachable rocker, it is too heavy for me to conveniently carry around. Because our son has reflux, we have to hold him upright for 20-40 minutes after each feeding. This was taking up so much time every day I finally gave in and purchased this bouncer after reading the great reviews because the incline looked similar to holding him in our arms. The nurse hotline at our pediatrician office said a bouncer didn’t count as holding a child upright, but in my experience, it has worked perfectly for reflux. Not only is this the perfect place to set our son after feeding, he LOVES this bouncer and many times this is the only thing that calms him down when he is upset. There have been been nights where he refuses to go to sleep in my arms but will fall asleep immediately in this. Since it is not a safe sleeping device, I simply put him into bed once he falls asleep. I would recommend a Baby Bjorn bouncer to any new parent, and it is a must-have for any parent of a baby with reflux. The toy attachment is expensive but absolutely worth it. If this works for your baby, I would also recommend buying an extra cover. Since it can not go in the dryer, it took almost an entire day to air dry, and if you use this as much as we do, you will not want to wait two days for the cover to arrive. On the plus side, both spit up and pee easily came out in the wash, and the cover looked good as new! Note: I will say that I almost returned the bouncer after I saw the hideous warning label on the front of the bouncer that cannot be removed. It is unfortunate that a few people ruined it for everyone because the warnings are common sense and also highlighted in the instruction manual. I almost deducted a star for the label, but after further research found that it is actually required for all bouncers made after 2018 based on a new consumer safety law.
