I purchased mine used from Craigslist and I thought this product was wonderful. I loved the colors and the mod look. It was already assembled for me so I don't know how complicated it is to put together. I also didn't receive a manual, but the lady showed me how to remove the padding because I always want to wash things. Turns out you can only hand wash the product because there's some kind of plastic piece inside the seat part. It is also kind of hard to remove the fabric parts because you don't want to ruin the wire running from the bottom of one side to the top, which is for the vibrate and music feature. I thought it would make more sense to have the buttons for music and vibrate down at the bottom, near the battery compartment (so you don't have to worry about the wire, but it isn't that way). The little music feature (standard chimes music, not mp3 music) is a little retarded that it only plays for a very short amount of time.
Features that I do like is that it has a on/off button (if the button is off, then you won't activate the music/vibrate feature). I also like the 2 positions. One position is when baby is sitting and the other is when baby is moreso lying down at slight angle (I use the second position when my little one wants to sleep). I like the removable canopy to shield him from the sun at the beach (cause we have a lot of sun here in hawaii).
Overall, great product compared to those cheaper bouncers...it has more functionality.

my daughter is almost 7 weeks old, 7.9 lbs and 21.5" , and this is my new favorite piece of "infant gear". the materials are nice and the construction seems sturdy. there are only 5 pieces in the box, and it is SO SIMPLE to put together. you only need a screwdriver to pop open the battery compartment- no unscrewing needed- and its easy to get to. i can handle that as a tired mom!
the seat has two positions - essentially, laying and sitting up. the laying position is perfect for my daughters age. she was instantly comfortable in the seat- which is significant because she seems hard to please with anything but mom's arms. she is just starting to kick and get active, and she could wiggle and jiggle the toys on the toy bar and they were close enough for her to make eye contact with and reach for, but too far away for her to touch (laying down). however the tool bar is not adjustable, so you cant move it closer even if she was in the sitting position. i am very pleased with the quality of the toys, and i like that they are like dangle earrings- the plush toy (which is soft and crinkles when you touch it) is separate from the wooden part below which adds more movement and is the only dangling toy she has noticed thus far. i am also pleased by the proportions of the seat- it looks like she'll have a lot of room to grow into this seat and get a lot of use from it. you want that when you spend this much money!
i love that you only need double AA batteries- i am sick of C or D!! and you only need 3.
the vibration seems pretty strong, which is fantastic.
the music is horrible- has a tingy hallow quality- which is pointless and i suppose there just to say its a feature but the mp3 port makes up for it.
incidentally, this seat was $10 less on amazon that at babys r us, and with free shipping here, i was pleased with the price overall.
we also own the Fisher-Price Ocean Wonders Aquarium Cradle Swing (which makes her head fall to far forward and cannot lean back- ie. there is no way to change position of the seat) and the Boppy Rock in Comfort Travel Swing - Pink which she doesnt seem comfortable in, and again, the seat only has one position. i am finding this is an important feature for a newborn!
i am very pleased with the quality of this infant seat and wish i hadn't bought the other two, although maybe they will be an 'acquired taste' as she grows...
edit: now 11 weeks old and we use this seat multiple, multiple times a day. LOVE the vibration and toy bar. love that its light weight and easy to drag around the house as needed. my baby lasts the longest in this seat out of the 4 that we have at this developmental stage.
OF NOTE: this seat CANNOT be washed. i put my undiapered baby into this seat just prior to transfering her into the bathtub (wishing i had more hands but WHAT was i thinking). fortunently it was just #1 and it rinsed out fine in the bathtub, but i learned you CANNOT seperate the fabric from the frame so it really is "surface" clean only. disappointing but not the end of the world. i am pleased it did not stain since i immediately rinsed it.

This little bouncer sure is cute. We have it in the wasabi green color and it is very cute and space-like with splayed metal legs. We actually have not used the MP3 player capabilities. The vibrating is good and strong and you can bounce the chair easily with your foot while baby vibrates. The construction of the toy loop is not perfect because it looks like a handle but IT IS NOT! It pulls off easily. Other than that, this is easy to put together (it took me 5 mins and I'm an idiot at these things) and quite effective with its strong vibration.

Although this chair does not "bounce" like one on the angled legs, this chair keeps my baby comfortable and happy. Now 3 months old, my baby has been digging this chair since he was born. He takes an afternoon snooze in it every once in a while. the design of the hammock style chair makes it really easy to set a sleeping baby down in without waking him up because it cuddles him just right. The lower incline is just enough to keep him from spiting his food back up too, which is s big problem for us after he eats.
The vibrating helped to calm him when we first brought him home from the hospital, but we rarely use it now. I do love the MP3 hook up though, I can play calming music for him anywhere, although the music on the chair isn't half bad, it doesn't last long. And the battery life isn't the greatest either, but it's still nice to have the capability.
My favorite thing about it is that the toys that come on the chair Velcro off, so I changed them out for strong contrasting image cards and my son LOVES to sit in the chair and look at and talk to them. I also add longer hanging toys for him to grab at. It's a chair that will definitely grow with our son and I would recommend it to anyone with a new one on the way, it has helped me finish chores and get meals on the table with great pleasure!

I initially loved this product. I liked the modern style and the light-weight structure, which allowed me to move it to another room using one hand. My son was able to sleep in it for short periods of time after falling asleep in our arms. Though my son was big for a 6 month old at 19 lbs. and in the 95th percentile for length, he was within the recommended weight limit of 25 lbs. One day I had him strapped into the chair with the belt on securely in the more upright position. I turned my back to him for about 10 seconds and he managed to pull the end of one strap and lean forward, which caused the chair to catapult forward. When I turned around, he was not moving and the chair was pinning him at his neck to the floor. He was still strapped into the seat, but the seat flipped forward. Luckily, he takes after the men in my family and has a hard head. He only bruised his forehead, but this could have been a lot worse. After inspecting the base of the seat, I realized that there is nothing keeping the base of the soft seat from being pulled forward and reversing. I would not recommend using this bouncer.
