BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft, Cotton/Jersey, Dark Gray/Gray (005084US)

I cant say enough good things about this bouncer - it was seriously the only thing chair we could keep my son in during the first 8 weeks that he would not cry in. Also, I have no idea why, but for some reason it was really helpful to him for gas / bowel movements. My husband and I called it the poop chair because anytime he was fussing over gas pains or hadnt gone yet, we could put him the chair, bounce him a little bit (which he was very happy to have us do) and the issue would work itself out. Its extremely portable and small so easy to move from room to room or even throw in the car and take with you and you can bounce it with your foot if youre eating / doing something with your hands. I seriously debated buying this chair just because it doesnt look like much and its so expensive, but it turned out to be one of the best things I bought. Highly recommend.

This bouncer is great just to have another place to set down the baby. We were hesitant buying it because of the price, but we use it everyday!

Prior to our baby being born, we purchased a swing because I had previously read you do not need both a swing and a bouncer. However, our son doesn’t like his swing because buckling him in makes him fussy, and even though our swing has a detachable rocker, it is too heavy for me to conveniently carry around. Because our son has reflux, we have to hold him upright for 20-40 minutes after each feeding. This was taking up so much time every day I finally gave in and purchased this bouncer after reading the great reviews because the incline looked similar to holding him in our arms. The nurse hotline at our pediatrician office said a bouncer didn’t count as holding a child upright, but in my experience, it has worked perfectly for reflux. Not only is this the perfect place to set our son after feeding, he LOVES this bouncer and many times this is the only thing that calms him down when he is upset. There have been been nights where he refuses to go to sleep in my arms but will fall asleep immediately in this. Since it is not a safe sleeping device, I simply put him into bed once he falls asleep. I would recommend a Baby Bjorn bouncer to any new parent, and it is a must-have for any parent of a baby with reflux. The toy attachment is expensive but absolutely worth it. If this works for your baby, I would also recommend buying an extra cover. Since it can not go in the dryer, it took almost an entire day to air dry, and if you use this as much as we do, you will not want to wait two days for the cover to arrive. On the plus side, both spit up and pee easily came out in the wash, and the cover looked good as new! Note: I will say that I almost returned the bouncer after I saw the hideous warning label on the front of the bouncer that cannot be removed. It is unfortunate that a few people ruined it for everyone because the warnings are common sense and also highlighted in the instruction manual. I almost deducted a star for the label, but after further research found that it is actually required for all bouncers made after 2018 based on a new consumer safety law.

I gave this as a baby shower gift. She said that out of all the gifts that she has received that she uses this the most. It was a win.

I previously gave this a 5 star review, but need to change it because the fabric part on the bouncer I originally received was uneven. I didn’t think it was a big deal, but my pediatrician pointed out that my baby’s head was becoming flat on one side. He asked if she tended to tilt her head to one direction... and then it clicked for me that she does that in this bouncer. I requested to return this one right away and they have sent me a proper replacement that doesn’t have this problem. I also ordered a bobby flat head pillow for it, but I’m still nervous to leave her in the bouncer for too long. It’s very unfortunate because she does love the bouncer and especially now that we have that expensive toy for it too. Ugh. Old review: Something about this is magic. I always thought babies wanted to be held all of the time, but sometimes my baby wants out of my arms just to go into this thing and chillax! I don’t get it, but it is every bit as wonderful as the reviews say. I’m so glad I have a nice, comfy place to rest our baby while I work on the computer. Makes me want to buy the overpriced $50 toy too.

We use this in my house daily. Baby loves the bounce and it’s another way to keep baby from consistently laying on her back.

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.

The bouncer is very convenient. Well made, and pretty easy to fold up.

This was an amazing purchase very well worth the price

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
