My son is 8 weeks old and I only use this bouner to get him to fall asleep. I sit him down unswaddled then use one of my feet to bounce the seat up and down. I press down on one of the wire legs. This frees me up to watch tv, work on my laptop, eat, etc. He usually falls aleep in ten minutes then I transfer him to the crib or swing.

Out of everything I bought so far this is the only thing that gets him to fall asleep. I have the Graco Sweetpeace, Fisher Price Papasan Moonlight swing and he won't fall asleep in them.

This product was on someone’s registry and when I bought it on Amazon I saved 17.00 and received free quick shipping. I then e-mailed my friend and asked her to take off the Target registry and we saved money, this my friends is the way to go!

This chair was a total waste! First off, it’s small. My daughter outgrew this chair before she was 4 months old (her feet were hanging off the end). Second, it doesn’t do anything when your baby moves so my daughter just sat there. The only thing it does is play a lame little ditty if you pull the circle on the middle animal so we kept doing it for her to entertain her for the few weeks she could use it. Don’t waste your money… get the Kick & Play instead. It’s bigger and it responds to baby’s movements with lights and sounds.

For a bouncy seat, it does the job. However, as a first time Mom there are a few things I would have reconsidered. Our little one is a bit over 5 months old and has been using this since she was first born.

First, the pros to this seat:

1. It's colorful and sturdy.
2. It's lightweight.
3. It vibrates.
4. It's affordable
5. It's washable

Next, the cons:
1. For a newborn/infant - I felt that the head support was only so-so. I added a detachable head support for the first several weeks because our baby's head kept falling to the side.
2. It's absolutely impossible to maneuver your baby into the seat WITH the mobile bar attached without hitting your child in the head/face with the hard molded plastic mobile toys.
3. The seat doesn't play any music - which our baby really would have loved. The middle mobile toy (the lion) rotates between a really wussy purr and a VERY short song. It's a shame the song isn't longer.
4. If you baby is at all active, she will just kick the hard bottom of the seat where the on/off switch is.

Would I buy this seat again? I don't think so - I'd search for a better alternative that plays music. Rating: 2 / 5
