> 3 dayI dont think you can really appreciate how awesome this bouncer/portable chair is unless youve used the cheaper ones first. When my daughter was born a friend of mine was nice enough to lend me her Fisher Price bouncer chair that vibrated. While it was convenient for placing the baby anywhere in the house I ended up hating it because of its design...the legs stick out in a V shape and I tripped over the thing constantly. It was worse in the middle of the night when trying to get the baby to calm down and go to sleep, half asleep myself and then there I was trying not to kill us both tripping over the stupid bouncer. I noticed other reviews for the Fisher Price bouncer complaining of the same things. Whoever designed that chair should be flogged. But I digress...this bouncer is awesome for so many reasons... - Doesnt nearly kill you with poorly designed legs - Super lightweight - Doesnt require batteries (my daughter hated the vibrating feature on the Fisher Price bouncer) - Easy to remove the cloth and washes well; easy to put back on...you just slide it on and off - Easy to put baby in/take baby out - Lasts until the kids a toddler as a toddler chair - Small physical footprint - Cleaner materials, resulting in a less toxic environment for your little one Cons: Obviously the biggest con is the price when you compare it to the much cheaper bouncers but you get what you pay for and as I mentioned above, you cant really appreciate this fact unless youve owned/used the cheaper bouncers before this. The only other con is that this doesnt come with the toy bar and for the price it should. I didnt buy the toy bar but it looks like Im going to because my daughter gets bored after a while and drops the toys I do give her so she needs something that stays in front of her and keeps her attention. In the meantime we have slid this thing halfway under the activity gym/mat and she plays with the toys hanging down while in the bouncer. Bottom line, this is truly the best bouncer on the market and worth every penny if you can afford it. If not, do not get the Fisher Price with the legs that stick out to the side (I think all of theirs do, actually)...get anything but those, for your safety! And get the toy bar, if you can. One thing about the mesh...I got the silver mesh because I simply liked the look of it but if I had it to do over again Id get the standard cloth version and in a dark color because my daughter has been nice enough to blow out several diapers all over this thing and while it has washed like a dream (thanks to OxyClean stain remover) I fear the day she stains it for good. However if you live in a hot climate mesh is the way to go.

> 3 dayThe best baby gear and the only one you will need! My wife ordered this for our first newborn and he loves it. Very easy to use, carry around and clean. I like that the design is so simple yet so efficient. Also a great aid if your baby is gassy. PS: We have tried Mamaroo swing, rocker bassinet by comfy baby but Baby Bjorn bouncer is our only go to option most of the times to put him to sleep or to sit him up watch us...rest of the gears are ready to go to thrift store now!

> 3 dayWe didn’t think we needed a bouncer because we had a swing, rock n play, and other spots to put baby. Man, were we wrong! We visited my sister when my son was 3.5 months old and plopped him in her Bjorn. He looooved it. We knew we needed our own, so we found one on Amazon (on sale!!). What a life changer. My son is very high needs, always wanting to be held and bounced. This bouncer allowed us to eat dinner together without holding a baby, and I could do laundry and get things done!! Game. Changer. I’m so mad we didn’t have this for the first four months of his life as they were so very challenging on me as a stay at home Mom. He’s now 6 months old and LOVES his bjorn still. This is a must have. UPDATE: my son is now a year old and I still use this bouncer daily. It’s the only way I’m able to shower!! So nice having a comfy, fun, safe spot to plop my son down when I need to get things done. We still love it so much!!

> 3 dayIts expensive for the length of time that we were able to use it, but it was completely worth it and has a great resale value. I purchased it when my son was a little over 2 months old, and I wish I had had it from the beginning. We stopped using it at about 7 months because he was sitting fine on his own and is big for his age. When it was in use, it was a lifesaver. It has a smaller footprint than a lot of other bouncers, so we were able to bring it into our small bathroom and my son would sit in it while we showered. We brought it any time we traveled, my son would sit in it while we ate dinner, wed put him in it while we cooked in the kitchen or washed dishes. He enjoyed that he was able to sit up to see what was happening, and I liked how easy it was to use and how lightweight it is. We used it a lot when he was fussy just to be able to get things done. I have several different types of carriers, but you cant baby wear all the time, especially when cooking or washing dishes. This solved our issue, he didnt fuss because I was able to engage with him by having him right next to me while I got stuff done. He had a couple of blowouts while seated in this, we actually called it the magic pooping chair. We also used this chair to feed him when we started introducing him to solids because he didnt seem to like his high chair at first. Depending on the level of clean up needed, the cover cleaned up easily with baby wipes or by throwing it in the wash.

> 3 dayOur 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.

> 3 dayI made the mistake of buying a rocker for our baby and she quickly outgrew it. In a panic I bought this hoping it would bridge the gap between the rocker she outgrew and whatever she needs in a year or so. This bouncer is awesome. We take it everywhere. It collapses down to almost nothing and it’s very sturdy. The cover comes off and is machine washable which is a huge plus. It takes no effort to bounce so even the baby kicking rocks the thing for her. I wish I knew about this sooner. It’s pricey, but I trust BabyBjorn’s brand (we have the sling also). There is a pretty good locking mechanism for the bouncer and you can adjust the angle 3 different ways. I feel pretty confident she won’t just fall backwards in it. At the lowest angle setting it almost becomes a pseudo bassinet. Pretty nice because the baby effectively rocks herself to sleep sometimes. Big thumbs up.

> 3 dayBuy this!!!!! stop shopping around. It really is the best product ever! This should go on every registry. I am bummed that I didnt find it earlier. Its sleek and sophisticated. It is natural, eco friendly and high quality!! the color alone is beautiful, the picture does it no justice. I bought the creme one and it looks great! it feels ever so soft too!!! Four positions for baby. I love that it folds flat for travel... so great for moms and dads on the move! The price is more than other ones but I promise you get what you pay for and this one is GREAT!!!! We didnt want a bunch of gawdy baby stuff everywhere and this is perfect for that. It looks classy! YOU AND BABY DESERVE CLASSY. Very well thought out product, in love with this purchase!! Thank you baby bjorn! If you found this helpful please click yes below :) My thoughts and criteria for products I review based on the Amazons rating criteria ★★★★★ = Amazed by the product! The product was nearly if not perfect! I will purchase again and/or recommend to my friends and family! Exceeds expectations and is a great product! ★★★★ = Like the product. Product is as described and the quality is not lacking. Might have small things I would change, but no big issues. Would recommend is brought up but don’t just love it. ★★★ = This product is just okay. There are pros and there are cons. I’m not positive if I will continue to use it. This is a product that might work better for someone else but just doesn’t work great for me. Could be worth purchasing for someone else. ★★ = Not a fan of this product. Wouldn’t use the product again and wouldn’t recommend it, but I might still have one positive thing to say about the product. ★ = I hate this product. I will never use this product and maybe nothing else from the seller again. Its either throw away or return, not safe to use, or just not worth anything. Definitely wouldn’t recommend and have nothing good to say about the product.
