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

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.

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.

Buy 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.

No chemical fire retardants, baby safe.

This bouncer is great just to have another place to set down the baby. We were hesitant buying it because of the price, but we use it everyday!

My son is what is referred to as a velcro baby. He will not let me put him down for even a moment without crying horribly. I spent 2 months unable to make myself food, comb my hair or even shower without him crying his little eyes out. I was exhausted but then...my mother suggested this little bouncer and everything changed! From the moment I put him in the chair he was calm and happy. Its very well made, easy to move from room to room and the cover is machine washable. The design is simple and brilliant. The straps can be put on with only one hand. Super easy to get him in and out. He is 4 months old now and starting to figure out that he can make it bounce. The cover is solid canvas and soft. Thebseems are very strong. It make zero sound while he bounces. I now have a moment here and there to do things around the house while my little man plays in a safe comfy little seat. Highly recommend!

The bouncer is very convenient. Well made, and pretty easy to fold up.

This 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 :)

I borrowed a baby bjorn babysitter balance when I had my first child 4 year ago. I liked it, but I has to give it back when we were done with it. With my 2nd child, I bought a cheap bouncer that I thought would do just as a good a job. Nope! I just bought the bjorn balance and now Im happy. The legs on the cheap bouncers stick out- everyone who came near that bouncer tripped. It didnt adjust up or down and you couldnt fold it easily for travel. The bjorn really is bouncy, so even though theres no battery powered vibration on it, my baby loves being it. She loves kicking to make it move. Highly recommend. Also, if you are looking at the balance and babysitter. They are about the same overall. The babysitter has a reversible seat so if you get tired of brown/khaki (or your baby spit up on that side and you were too lazy to get up and wash it), you could flip it over to the all brown side for a new, clean look. :) the restraint unbuckled completely. If you flip the balance cover over, its just the seat without any restraint system so they call it a child seat.

We 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.
