BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft, Cotton/Jersey, Dark Gray/Gray (005084US)

This is my most used baby product my baby is 3 months and she love it. She will sit in this thing for her full wake time and be completely content it is super comfortable for baby and makes my life easier! 10/10 recommend

I 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.

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.

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!

Its expensive for the length of time that we were able to use it, but it was completely worth it and has a great resale value. I purchased it when my son was a little over 2 months old, and I wish I had had it from the beginning. We stopped using it at about 7 months because he was sitting fine on his own and is big for his age. When it was in use, it was a lifesaver. It has a smaller footprint than a lot of other bouncers, so we were able to bring it into our small bathroom and my son would sit in it while we showered. We brought it any time we traveled, my son would sit in it while we ate dinner, wed put him in it while we cooked in the kitchen or washed dishes. He enjoyed that he was able to sit up to see what was happening, and I liked how easy it was to use and how lightweight it is. We used it a lot when he was fussy just to be able to get things done. I have several different types of carriers, but you cant baby wear all the time, especially when cooking or washing dishes. This solved our issue, he didnt fuss because I was able to engage with him by having him right next to me while I got stuff done. He had a couple of blowouts while seated in this, we actually called it the magic pooping chair. We also used this chair to feed him when we started introducing him to solids because he didnt seem to like his high chair at first. Depending on the level of clean up needed, the cover cleaned up easily with baby wipes or by throwing it in the wash.

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.

Baby loves this seat! So easy to tuck away after they leave grandmas house. Washing the seat is a breeze. Baby is secure while also able to kick freely. Just wish I had bought it earlier!

I was never really one to buy into the hype about Baby Bjorn. However, I can honestly say they do make superior products in general. This particular bouncer is just almost perfect but does have its pain points. For the good - It is lightweight, has good decent safety, has nice 3 levels of elevation, good materials, and seems to fit our baby perfectly. However, on the downside - you cant move it with baby sitting in it, its awkward to move even without the baby in it because there is no real handhold at the top or anywhere for that matter, the adjustments for elevation is located directly underneath it, meaning you cant do it with baby sitting in it, and the safety straps are a type where you have to slip it through the latch like a button instead of just click it in, which is difficult with a moving baby. Overall its a great bouncer, but you will need to be ok with some of the difficulties that come with it.

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.

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!
