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

I dont think you can really appreciate how awesome this bouncer/portable chair is unless youve used the cheaper ones first. When my daughter was born a friend of mine was nice enough to lend me her Fisher Price bouncer chair that vibrated. While it was convenient for placing the baby anywhere in the house I ended up hating it because of its design...the legs stick out in a V shape and I tripped over the thing constantly. It was worse in the middle of the night when trying to get the baby to calm down and go to sleep, half asleep myself and then there I was trying not to kill us both tripping over the stupid bouncer. I noticed other reviews for the Fisher Price bouncer complaining of the same things. Whoever designed that chair should be flogged. But I digress...this bouncer is awesome for so many reasons... - Doesnt nearly kill you with poorly designed legs - Super lightweight - Doesnt require batteries (my daughter hated the vibrating feature on the Fisher Price bouncer) - Easy to remove the cloth and washes well; easy to put back on...you just slide it on and off - Easy to put baby in/take baby out - Lasts until the kids a toddler as a toddler chair - Small physical footprint - Cleaner materials, resulting in a less toxic environment for your little one Cons: Obviously the biggest con is the price when you compare it to the much cheaper bouncers but you get what you pay for and as I mentioned above, you cant really appreciate this fact unless youve owned/used the cheaper bouncers before this. The only other con is that this doesnt come with the toy bar and for the price it should. I didnt buy the toy bar but it looks like Im going to because my daughter gets bored after a while and drops the toys I do give her so she needs something that stays in front of her and keeps her attention. In the meantime we have slid this thing halfway under the activity gym/mat and she plays with the toys hanging down while in the bouncer. Bottom line, this is truly the best bouncer on the market and worth every penny if you can afford it. If not, do not get the Fisher Price with the legs that stick out to the side (I think all of theirs do, actually)...get anything but those, for your safety! And get the toy bar, if you can. One thing about the mesh...I got the silver mesh because I simply liked the look of it but if I had it to do over again Id get the standard cloth version and in a dark color because my daughter has been nice enough to blow out several diapers all over this thing and while it has washed like a dream (thanks to OxyClean stain remover) I fear the day she stains it for good. However if you live in a hot climate mesh is the way to go.

Just 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.

JUST GET IT!!! I hesitated buying this because of the price, but couldn’t believe all the good reviews and was in need of some thing that would make my baby content . I am so glad I got this bouncer when she was three weeks old and we still use it daily at nine months. I struggle to be able to calm her, even being held. This bouncer was my saving grace. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

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.

This is the BEST baby product we have. Our 6 week old absolutely loves this bouncer and has since we started using it at 3.5 weeks. She is instantly calmed by the bouncing and is happy as a clam in it. You can start using from 8lbs and up and honestly so glad we registered for this item and had it on hand from the start. Right now we bounce her with our foot (very easy) but excited for when she’s bigger and can bounce herself too. She likes this more than anything else, including more than a more expensive electric swing we got her. We love how it looks as well and she seems so comfy in it.

I bought this for my sister when she was expecting my first niece almost 3 1/2 years ago and since then 3 babies in our family have used it and LOVED it. I dont know what the magic is about this thing but babies adore it. I recommend it to anyone having a baby!

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!!

This bouncer is a life saver. My little girl loves hanging out in it, napping and as of recently kicking her feet. Its really easy for an adult to make it bounce until shes able to bounce in it by herself. Just slightly tap at the bottom with your foot. Right now, shes 2.5 months old and weve been using it for a while at the lowest setting. I used an insert to help her head stay straight (for naps mostly) but its really not necessary. Sometimes I tuck in a blanket under her arms. I know its a little pricey compared to other bouncers out there but I think its worth every penny. The cover is very easy to take off the metal bars to wash -- we had one major diaper blowout while she was in it but it all came off without staining. Just make sure to hang to dry, dont put it in the dryer. The only reason Im giving it four stars is the black / grey color. I wanted a more neutral color to fit with our living room furniture but the material actually attracts a lot of dust and dog hair. I just use a lint brush to clean it every other day. I also hope the black doesnt fade over time. A sand / stone color would have been more practical for us.

Portable, baby loves it, soft and not hard to wash. Just so expensive!

This was an amazing purchase very well worth the price
