BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft, Cotton, Black/Dark Gray (005022US)

With 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.

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.

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.

Love this bouncer. We have used it sense day one and for photo shoots; we just put a blanket over it... I wanted a bouncer that didnt have a plastic thing on the bottom that would potentially hurt my baby and I got it! Ive been using it now for 4 months and he still loves it. We still bounce him so I have gotten very good at multitasking but he has started bouncing himself recently as well. Im able to do homework with him right next to me, cook, clean, and eat dinner with him right there. Our little guy likes to be near us and watch what were doing so this is great! He also has really bad gas problems and has trouble laying on his back at night so we put him in this. Ive noticed that he doesnt writhe in pain sitting up as well. It does get dirty so we easily slip the cover off the metal frame and pop it in the washer, super easy! Also can easily move around the apartment. Love that its transportable also. It just folds down and doesnt take up a ton of space in the car.my husband and I are poor college students so Ive waited awhile to review on this product because I was so bitter about the price but Ive used it so much it certainly makes up for it! Great buy!

This 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.

No chemical fire retardants, baby safe.

I do like this bouncer (baby isn’t here yet so I can’t report on if she likes it just yet), but the color of the frame was not accurate. The one I ordered said it was a black frame and the box also said that it was a black frame. The frame ended up being grey, which I do like and it isn’t a big deal to me, just misleading based on the listing photo. The color of the cover itself is fairly accurate, maybe just a little darker in person than in the picture. That’s the only reason I took a star away

Pros: Minimalist design. Quality materials, just a metal frame and a cotton seat. No assembly required. Folds flat for easy storage. Theres no obtrusive plastic bits to trip on, break or contribute to clutter. Easy to bounce with hands or feet. Baby can be soothed to sleep or take interest in their surroundings. The fabric seat is easy to take off and replace for washing. Cons: Its expensive. I had to wait for it to go on sale, which wasnt my preferred color. The replacement seats are also expensive, also bought sale. The seats have a very long safety label which kept falling out and creating a slip hazard on our hardwood floors, no matter how much I tried to tuck it back in securely. I cut it off after almost slipping on it while holding the baby.

I love the Baby Bjorn bouncer for several reasons: 1. It is sleek and well designed. The straps securely hold baby in safely. 2. The cotton cover comes of easily and you can just throw it in the washer if it gets dirty. 3. Once baby is old enough, you can flip over the cover and use the bouncer as a chair/seat for your little one. 4. Weight - it is light and you can carry your baby in one arm and the bouncer in the other with no problem. What I didn’t like is that with the seat at the highest angle, when I put my baby in the bouncer, it falls far back to a nearly reclining position. It doesn’t go as far as his bum touching the ground, but in a position for napping instead of sitting. The fabric also faded color quite easily so it’s kind of a reddish dark black faded color now (not a deal breaker though). Despite everything, I would get this again, and I wish I had purchased it sooner when my baby was still tiny and much smaller.

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.
