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

We didn’t think we needed a bouncer because we had a swing, rock n play, and other spots to put baby. Man, were we wrong! We visited my sister when my son was 3.5 months old and plopped him in her Bjorn. He looooved it. We knew we needed our own, so we found one on Amazon (on sale!!). What a life changer. My son is very high needs, always wanting to be held and bounced. This bouncer allowed us to eat dinner together without holding a baby, and I could do laundry and get things done!! Game. Changer. I’m so mad we didn’t have this for the first four months of his life as they were so very challenging on me as a stay at home Mom. He’s now 6 months old and LOVES his bjorn still. This is a must have. UPDATE: my son is now a year old and I still use this bouncer daily. It’s the only way I’m able to shower!! So nice having a comfy, fun, safe spot to plop my son down when I need to get things done. We still love it so much!!

Love this. It’s so sleek. However, it’s not a magic dream come true. Maybe for some but for me I would have wanted a $200 bouncer to bounce my baby that does not have the mobility to bounce themselves. Also, baby tolerated for only about half hour at a time. This could be cheaper. It’s essential just a chair and doesn’t do anything special.

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!

It 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.

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

I think this is my first ever Amazon review because I am so impressed with this baby bouncer. My once colicky baby is instantly soothed by this bouncer. Our little girl is 5 weeks old and is not impressed with any of our other baby gadgets. We have a swing, a rock and play, a glider, a little vibrating seat, and a mamaroo type machine. The only thing that seems to calm her down when she is in the middle of one of her colic spells is bouncing her pretty quickly in our arms or on our legs. This can be incredibly tiring after awhile. I began to search for a baby bouncer and quickly realized that all of the powered bouncers provided very small and smooth bouncing motion. My baby prefers a quick bouncing motion, this is truly the only thing that will calm her down and give us all some peace in our home. Enter the BabyBjorn bouncer. I was hesitant to purchase it because it isnt motorized and relies on the babys movements (or your movement with your feet) to move the bouncer. Once I opened it and got it set up (which was the easiest, quickest thing ever), I put my baby in it and placed my foot at the base, started rocking my foot up and down, and she started easily (and quickly!) bouncing up and down. She instantly calmed down. This has absolutely been the best purchase for us!! Within a few minutes of being in the bouncer she falls asleep, and she is a baby that did not sleep much prior to this. If you have a fussy baby that can only be calmed down by rapid bouncing, BUY this! You will not regret it. We now have a HAPPY smiley baby more times than not thanks to this bouncer.

After reading tons and tons of 5 star reviews, I just knew that I HAD TO HAVE this bouncer. And, like a fool, I spent $200 on a bouncer--only to buy a $40 Fisher Price swing a month later. Pros: very portable from one room of the house to another, not an eye sore, easy to wash, easy to get baby in and out Cons: very pricey, my daughter (3 months) does not move around enough to make it bounce much---and therefore, she becomes bored in it. Perhaps, once my daughter is older and tends to move more/is heavier, we might like it better. For now, I primarily use it when she is fussing and I am trying to get ready in the mornings...I just bring it in our small bathroom by our vanity, and I am able to bounce it with my foot while I fix my hair in the mornings.

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.
