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

For how much it costs I was expecting more. It’s difficult to adjust the height. My baby likes it but I’m very underwhelmed with it. Can most definitely get a cheaper one that is better.

When I saw my best friend use one of these with her daughter I thought eh, it can’t be that great and didn’t put it on my registry. BIG MISTAKE. Oh my god this has SAVED my life. I am a single mom of twins so I never have enough hands! They’re so light weight and easy to maneuver (I drag it around with my foot). This is often the ONLY way I can get through the witching hour with my sanity. I tell everyone I know to buy one of these. Make sure you don’t put the covers in the dryer after you wash them! I made that mistake and they’re a bit snug now but they still work great!!

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!

After lots of research, we purchased this when our daughter was around 2 months old. Shes turning 2 YEARS old in a couple of weeks and this thing is STILL going strong! Our daughter has always loved this thing. We received those vibrating ones and so on as gifts but our daughter out grew them very quickly and they were unnatural per se. This one is much more natural, mimicking the womb as it bounces naturally without a motor. This benefit also keeps it light and easy to fold and carry. Our daughter uses this to lounge and watch TV or drink her bottle and nap. As she got older, we transfer her from this to her bed after she fell sleep. This cost A LOT of money! It was worth every penny. 2 years in and the quality you pay for is still there. I love how it can be washed so easily; since our daughter uses it often. Now were expecting our second child and were going to see if our daughter will share this with her new sibling. Its in good enough condition not to have to buy another one. One more thing - since our daughter is 2 years old - shes a big 2 - the size of a 3 year old; we now have to fold up one of her blankets and put it behind her head. This is because her head is against the railing as shes technically too tall for this. She doesnt care. A little soft blanket-pillow and she still lounges it in like she did as an infant. Her feet are on the floor and she cant get enough of thing thing. This was a fantastic investment. My husband will use his foot to rock her sometimes. Also, since its not bulky I can cuddle next to her on the floor while shes in it. Shes too big to be strapped in, but she doesnt want to get out of it anyway for the most part. As a toddler, when shes ready for bed, we know because she will put herself in it and say ready night night! The black color is also professionally looking and doesnt make our house look like it has a bunch of baby themed stuff; its a polished- professional looking style, not with a bunch of baby animals printed on it or something. Additionally, its not bulky. This thing is just perfect.

Ok, 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.

Nothing, just change my mind

My baby gets overtired often. Even with no noise, white noise playing, dim room, swaddled, changed diaper, cuddles, and fed. As soon as this bouncer came in I put her right in, she initially startled at first but then she really settled down with the bouncing. She was asleep in about 5 min. She also cried when I stopped bouncing her. I think this is worth every penny already! As for the poop, she went poop today already but after some time in this chair she had another big load in her diaper . Love this thing! UPDATE I think this really got my baby into a good habit of chilling and sleeping. I take this with me everywhere, even on the road. Totally worth it and now my three month old is settled well with the help of this bouncer! UPDATE again: this placed my baby on a sleep schedule. I freakin love this thing. I wash the material and air dry outside. Dries fairly fast on a sunny day!

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 :)

The little one loves this bouncer. I find it very easy to move around the house and we get a lot of use from 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.
