Greater than one weekThis is my favorite baby product so far. It is easy to use and put away. I take it with me anytime I go to someone’s house. My baby loves sitting in it. He bounces it all by himself. He has been able to do that since we started using it because when they kick it bounces. Easy to clean and out back on. I wish I had it for my other babies.

> 3 dayThe smile on the babys face while sitting in the bouncer is the best rating assessment I can provide. This product is a winner.

> 3 dayOk, in all seriousness this chair is amazing. Our daughter hates to be put down laying down during the day, so this is great. Allows her to be part of the action and its attractive and portable. The funniest secondary use for this chair is that it makes her go number 2 as soon as she sits in it! I dont know what it is about the angle of the chair but she feels most comfortable pooping in it. So if we can see that shes struggling to go, BOOM, put her in that chair and its a miracle worker. Only thing is we have to put down some sort of protective layer between her and the chair because there have been some blow out diapers that stained the fabric. Super easy to clean but a hassle if youre doing it daily.

Greater than one weekWith my first baby I got a cheap bouncer seat with the vibrator in it available just about anywhere. It quickly became one of the more despised baby items and was donated. My experience with traditional baby bouncer seats is that babies do not like or notice the vibrator setting-its just a waste of money (they eat expensive batteries), they are bulky and feel cheaply made, they are very quickly outgrown, and are usually an eye sore (the baby stuff is cute at first but as a first time parent youll more than likely start to feel like you are drowning in a home full of cutesy baby things). The Baby Bjorn Bouncer resolves all of these issues and give you a truly durable and functional product well worth the money. The seat is preassembled (unlike most) which gives you one less thing to put together while preparing for baby-a big plus! It also collapses so that it can be stored very easily even in many narrow spaces. This is especially great when storing it for the next baby. I love that the seat design is simple, sleek, and light weight enough I can bring into any room of the house to have baby happily bounce right next to me. Another huge huge plus is how easy it is to wash. The cover simply slides off and goes right in the wash. No pulling or untangling the belt buckles to remove it-and it washes very nicely (i.e. No pilling!). Possibly what really makes this worth the price, is the longevity of use. Being able to use this through toddlerhood is what seals the deal-nor do I have to worry about my current toddler trying to use it when baby is not. I really wish I wouldve looked past the price tag of this seat with my first baby to see the true value in such a functional well designed baby product. Definitely a must have item for new (or new again!) parents! P.s. if price really is an issue consider buying an open box condition one from amazon for a great discount.

> 3 dayI cant say enough good things about this bouncer - it was seriously the only thing chair we could keep my son in during the first 8 weeks that he would not cry in. Also, I have no idea why, but for some reason it was really helpful to him for gas / bowel movements. My husband and I called it the poop chair because anytime he was fussing over gas pains or hadnt gone yet, we could put him the chair, bounce him a little bit (which he was very happy to have us do) and the issue would work itself out. Its extremely portable and small so easy to move from room to room or even throw in the car and take with you and you can bounce it with your foot if youre eating / doing something with your hands. I seriously debated buying this chair just because it doesnt look like much and its so expensive, but it turned out to be one of the best things I bought. Highly recommend.

> 3 dayThis bouncer is a life saver. My little girl loves hanging out in it, napping and as of recently kicking her feet. Its really easy for an adult to make it bounce until shes able to bounce in it by herself. Just slightly tap at the bottom with your foot. Right now, shes 2.5 months old and weve been using it for a while at the lowest setting. I used an insert to help her head stay straight (for naps mostly) but its really not necessary. Sometimes I tuck in a blanket under her arms. I know its a little pricey compared to other bouncers out there but I think its worth every penny. The cover is very easy to take off the metal bars to wash -- we had one major diaper blowout while she was in it but it all came off without staining. Just make sure to hang to dry, dont put it in the dryer. The only reason Im giving it four stars is the black / grey color. I wanted a more neutral color to fit with our living room furniture but the material actually attracts a lot of dust and dog hair. I just use a lint brush to clean it every other day. I also hope the black doesnt fade over time. A sand / stone color would have been more practical for us.

> 3 dayI 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.

Greater than one weekDid lots of research before buying this bouncer. I love it! The only downside is the buckles aren’t actual buckles and so I feel like eventually she will be able to escape or break them. Been using for 6 months now and never had an issue with it. This is an honest review from a mom who spends hours researching every little thing because I’m super picky and paranoid
