> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourThis is my wife’s and my favorite baby item we’ve gotten. It packs down small for travel (however, it’s too long to fit in a large suitcase for air travel) and is easy to clean (just slide the fabric off the frame and wash!). It’s really easy to rock with your foot, which is helpful during dinner time or just watching TV, and rocking him in this almost always calms him. It’s easy to carry and maneuver around the house, and it even has three different angle settings. Our boy loves it, and at this point has even figured out how to rock himself. Sometimes he gets squirmy and only settles once we put him in this rocker. If there’s only one thing we could recommend to a new parent, it would be Moms on Call. But if we could recommend two things, this would be the second :)

> 24 hourWe really like it BUT my baby fell backwards flat on her head because it wasn’t well adjusted in the back when changing positions, the worst part is that it didn’t happen right away, so it seemed secure and the click was ok... We moved it to a more reclined position (Thank God) and after a while the back of the chair fell back, and she hit her head pretty bad.. I was terrified... this happened from the most reclined position but if it happens when it’s in the most upright position.. that’s a big distance... so we put a pillow (see picture) and we check many times it’s well secure Otherwise we like it and it’s been 4 months and didn’t happen again... I feel the maneuverability is not good at all... it should be easier to change positions and more secure. Baby really likes it and she stays there for a while.

> 24 hourI love the simplicity of the design. It is so lightweight and easy to move from room to room. The cover is easy to remove, clean, and reattach. Pricey, but I am happy with my purchase.

> 24 hourMy 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.

> 24 hourI like that the bouncer is made with babys wellbeing in mind (safe materials, egronomic design), and for that reason it is worth the price! I wish I bought this earlier. The weight limit for the bouncer option is 20 lbs and my daughter is close to that weight. However, she enjoys spending time in her bouncer, seems comfortable, so even though shell outgrow it soon - its worth it! I am not crazy about the color I chose (greenish khaki), so if I was buying this again I would choose a color that is more fun. I was considering buying another fabric cover, but it seems that these are not sold separately. Another issue is that whenever my daughter poops while sitting in the chair, there is a diaper/laundry situation as everything goes up her back. I wouldnt say its the products fault, just simple physics. Because of the seated position, stuff cant go down/distribute evenly in the diaper, so it goes up! I To avoid having to wash the seat fabric every day, I put a small receiving blanket on the bouncer when my daughter is using it.

> 24 hourI 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.

> 24 hourThis is an absolutely a life saver! Our son loves sitting in the chair to play (with the Babybjorn toy bar), laugh, eat, and rest. The mesh material makes the air flow and very easy to clean. I originally got a black cotton one but it heats up him quickly, plus it looks like a giant sock sitting in the house so I exchanged for a mesh one with a lighter color. It was a very very wise choice because turns out that our son really loves to produce huge dirty diapers whenever he is sitting in his bouncer!! For the most of the times, the diaper would leak to the side or over his back, I think it has to do with the design (tried 3 different diaper brands and all leak, only in his bouncer). We just cant figure out why he loves so much to pop in the bouncer, hehe. Anyway, the mesh material is really EASY to clean and dries up quickly. If it is the black cotton one, I am not sure if I can spot all the stains immediately and our house would definitely smell funny with a source that I probably will never identify. So do yourself a favor and get a lighter color bouncer with the mesh material! You can always put down a blanket if the weather gets cold. This bouncer is one of the best baby gears I purchased and frees up a lot of time for us to play with him, eat along with him, and to just enjoy just sitting next to him!! The only thing that I regard is I didnt get it sooner! You should try this from day 1!
