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

Invest in this! We use this every day! Lowest recline option is perfect for my 10week old to sit and relax. While it is reclined enough that I don’t have to worry about his head falling forward. It has three seat positions so my older child can use it on the most inclined to watch a movie or hang out in!

I 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.

We 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!!

I previously gave this a 5 star review, but need to change it because the fabric part on the bouncer I originally received was uneven. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but my pediatrician pointed out that my baby’s head was becoming flat on one side. He asked if she tended to tilt her head to one direction... and then it clicked for me that she does that in this bouncer. I requested to return this one right away and they have sent me a proper replacement that doesn’t have this problem. I also ordered a bobby flat head pillow for it, but I’m still nervous to leave her in the bouncer for too long. It’s very unfortunate because she does love the bouncer and especially now that we have that expensive toy for it too. Ugh. Old review: Something about this is magic. I always thought babies wanted to be held all of the time, but sometimes my baby wants out of my arms just to go into this thing and chillax! I don’t get it, but it is every bit as wonderful as the reviews say. I’m so glad I have a nice, comfy place to rest our baby while I work on the computer. Makes me want to buy the overpriced $50 toy too.

Our baby has a reflux problem (something shes been struggling with since 3 weeks of age). Laying her down after feeds or at any point causes her to spit up all that she has drunk. I was looking for some tips online and read on mommy blogs that this bouncer really helps with GERD babies. We were a bit hesitant to order it because it was so expensive, but then I saw it on Amazon for a better price and also they were offering $20 off for every $100 you spend on Baby Bjorn items. We took the plunge and ordered it, and could not be happier! There is no assembly required, you pull a lever on the back and lift up the top part and rises up. Its super easy to change the settings (Sleep, Rest and Play, as well as Flat). It folds nice and flat which makes it very convenient to be carried around. We always take this with us when we are visiting friends, its so light and easy to carry. The wooden toy is pretty cool too- a little on the expensive side but gives baby something to occupy themselves with whilst you do your work. The bouncer looks very nice wherever it goes because it isnt bulky or brightly colored like most baby items, which is a big plus for us! We always get compliments on how it looks!

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...

After reading tons and tons of 5 star reviews, I just knew that I HAD TO HAVE this bouncer. And, like a fool, I spent $200 on a bouncer--only to buy a $40 Fisher Price swing a month later. Pros: very portable from one room of the house to another, not an eye sore, easy to wash, easy to get baby in and out Cons: very pricey, my daughter (3 months) does not move around enough to make it bounce much---and therefore, she becomes bored in it. Perhaps, once my daughter is older and tends to move more/is heavier, we might like it better. For now, I primarily use it when she is fussing and I am trying to get ready in the mornings...I just bring it in our small bathroom by our vanity, and I am able to bounce it with my foot while I fix my hair in the mornings.

I put baby in this when Im showering or need my hands free. Its perfect and sturdy. I like that I dont have to strap her in.

I think this is my first ever Amazon review because I am so impressed with this baby bouncer. My once colicky baby is instantly soothed by this bouncer. Our little girl is 5 weeks old and is not impressed with any of our other baby gadgets. We have a swing, a rock and play, a glider, a little vibrating seat, and a mamaroo type machine. The only thing that seems to calm her down when she is in the middle of one of her colic spells is bouncing her pretty quickly in our arms or on our legs. This can be incredibly tiring after awhile. I began to search for a baby bouncer and quickly realized that all of the powered bouncers provided very small and smooth bouncing motion. My baby prefers a quick bouncing motion, this is truly the only thing that will calm her down and give us all some peace in our home. Enter the BabyBjorn bouncer. I was hesitant to purchase it because it isnt motorized and relies on the babys movements (or your movement with your feet) to move the bouncer. Once I opened it and got it set up (which was the easiest, quickest thing ever), I put my baby in it and placed my foot at the base, started rocking my foot up and down, and she started easily (and quickly!) bouncing up and down. She instantly calmed down. This has absolutely been the best purchase for us!! Within a few minutes of being in the bouncer she falls asleep, and she is a baby that did not sleep much prior to this. If you have a fussy baby that can only be calmed down by rapid bouncing, BUY this! You will not regret it. We now have a HAPPY smiley baby more times than not thanks to this bouncer.

Well made, and pretty easy to fold up.
