Customer Reviews

Not entirely safe
The tubing that forms the base of the bouncer fits into plastic oval mounts and are secured by metal pins. The pins, made out of cheap stamped metal, are folded to create a spring. The problem is that these pins break very easily along the crease where they are folded, and once they break, the base can collapse. One day while my two month old son was in the bouncer, one of the tubes slipped out of the mount (two pins were broken) and the bouncer lurched forward. Luckily I was close by and held on to the seat, preventing my son from falling out. The manual said to call Kids II, the maker of the chair, for customer service. I called, left a message and received no reply. I called Boppy's customer service several times and each time left a message and, again, no reply. I emailed customer service at Boppy and once again received no response.

Lifesaver!
My month old has loved this bouncer since birth and it has saved us many times! There are nights where its impossible to put him back down to sleep in the wee hours, so I put him in his bouncer and it works every time. He has also grown to be a bit colicky, and during fussy times a few minutes w/the vibration feature and heartbeat sound on works wonders. This is the only item that he actually enjoys being in, and spends any amount of time in. I wish I had one for every room b/c it is a pain to move...but I'd be crazy if I had to live w/out it.

Fantastic item
I received this as a gift and would highly recommend it for newborns. It's definitely more about comforting than entertaining. The fabric is very soft and the seat is very deep and enveloping compared to most bouncers. It does bounce if baby gets energetic, but not on its own, however you can bounce it gently yourself with very little effort. It has a volume control for the music (soothing melodies) and sound effects (rain, water and something which sounds like a heartbeat) and a gentle vibration feature. The structure seems very stable and I can't imagine it could tip easily, if at all. I have mostly used it for my little one to nap in during the day (never unattended). The heartbeat sound particularly seems very soothing for her and she's able to snuggle down in the seat like she would in my arms. It allows me to put her down somewhere comforting for an hour and keep an eye on her so I can get a few things done, or sit down for a minute. I do wish the sound would go on a little longer - it shuts off after about ten minutes to save battery power - but other than that I wouldn't change a thing.

Edited 3/3/2008 to add: My daughter is now 7 months old and we still use this every day. She doesn't sleep in it any more but uses it like a chair (it has two settings, reclining and upright). It has enough room for a few toys of her own, and she recently discovered the toy bar and loves the little bug, which she can now pull off with a bit of work. Now she's older she enjoys the music though we still use the heartbeat sound for background if she's having trouble dozing off for her nap. Also, in 7 months we have NEVER had to change the batteries. This bouncer really has been great and I'll be very sad when she grows out of it.
