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

We could not have lived without this seat. I grew up babysitting for boys with a similar seat, and this was the only one I found that was comparable: simple without obnoxious colors and plastic toys with flashing lights and noises everywhere. I think it says to keep it on the ground, but ours lived mostly on the kitchen table (placed carefully and centrally) with Freddie the Firefly on the chandelier above. We spend most of our time in the kitchen, and this let my son be a part of the group. He used this day 1: when too small to put his legs through the holes, we swaddled him and just strapped the whole burrito in - it was perfect. It worked well for us to keep a thick cloth diaper (a gift - it was cute and monogrammed) under his head all times, and when the seat got dirty I was good about spot cleaning it right away. I machine washed it about 3 or 4 times (didnt put it in the dryer) and it looks absolutely perfect. We did buy the wooden toy, which I also reviewed, and yes, spend the money: it feels expensive (at least it did to me) but it was worth it. The baby loved it, and I do think it helped develop his fine motor skills as he worked to spin and manipulate the hamburger. An all-around excellent product.

I am on baby number three and wish I had this bouncer for all of them! My 5 week old has been having significant issues with silent reflux (all of my babies have had this) and is so uncomfortable most of the time that she needs to be held or in the Boba wrap. She rests comfortably in this and is even falling asleep for her naps in it. It gives her enough elevation that it seems to improve the reflux enough that she can rest. This item is very nicely made and came fully assembled. I waited about a week to purchase this because of the cost, but it really is worth it. Highly recommend!

I 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.

I 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.

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 :)

My 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.

Just received my order and the color is more mauve than tan and grey. Something is off with the color

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

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.

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.
