> 24 hourAfter 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.

> 24 hourPros: 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.

> 24 hourExactly what I was looking for. Pull out of the box, lift, insert baby, done. No assembly, no blinking lights or motors, just great design. Folds up nicely for easy travel to grandparents houses. Our daughter loves to look around in this and falls asleep in it. I love that it grows with her and she can use it into her toddler years as a lounging seat. Although its pricier than most infant seats, if you are looking for a solid design without having to compromise your aesthetic, I would definitely recommend. It would be great if you could purchase additional covers separately, as they are removable. UPDATE: Once our little one could sit up unassisted, we didnt really use this any more. I found that if we put her in it, she was struggling to sit up straight. Im going to hold onto it and see if once she understands the concept of lounging if shell go back in it (without the front harness of course). The nice thing is that this easily folds up and can go into a closet until then. So from birth until about month 8 this chair really was invaluable.

> 24 hourThis 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.

> 24 hourOne of the most used products I’ve bought for my Babygirl. I’ll read to her in it, take it with me to different rooms when baby needs to be in eyesight but I need to be hands free. It’s lightweight, portable & not an eyesore. It also helps soothe baby to sleep & pass gas/poop. Does not self bounce but that hasn’t been a problem for me. 10/10 recommend!

> 24 hourJust get this for your baby! It’s so comfortable for baby and secure. We got the cotton one and it breathes just fine in hot weather. It’s so soft and comfy—seriously—and baby can easily bounce in with just the kick of a leg. Our baby is just a month old and already loves being upright and able to see us in this chair. It is so easy to use (we just pop baby in and no need to buckle because it’s already buckled beforehand). We have tried other loungers and they’re just not as comfy for baby. To save on cost, we bought an unboxed “like new” one. Look for those! As soon as you get it, the cover slips right off to be washed and slips right back on with ease. Just get this. And if you don’t like it, you can always return it thanks to Amazon’s awesome policy.

> 24 hourIt is a little crazy that this costs what it does for how simple a product it is. But it really is one of our most used products. baby hates lying on her back and wants to sit up so she can see better, we have been using since baby turned about 2 month old. Love how easy it is to clean and how portable it is. The buttons are easy to secure. Baby 2-4 month old and has been happy to sit in his 15-20 mins at a time 2-3 times a day which lets me get some work done around the house.

> 24 hourI bought this specifically for my reflux baby. He still spits up and its harder than laying down because he cannot turn himself to the side in this and he has started choking a few times. Also, while you can wash it easily, it says not to put it in the dryer and it took almost two days to fully air dry it. I lay a blanket in it now with a burp cloth for protection so i dont have to wash it every time. One thing that is true is that it does seem to help speed up bowel movements! Its nice, but not sure how its so helpful for reflux babies and I feel mislead by reviews. Maybe they have older babies that can sit in the higher recline positon. For reference my baby is almost 8 weeks and sits in the lowest recline. I still give the product a thumbs up because it is nice, just wanted to leave my experience because of all the reviews for reflux that isnt true for us. If youre solely buying it for that purpose you can save your money.
