 "Nice looking chair but Could be better" 2009-11-18

This is so sleek and easy to move around we love the colors and sounds but the mobile is boring and only moves if you swing it, They should have put a mechanical mobile to keep babies attention.

 "Almost perfect" 2009-11-08
By Christi Lynn (Northern California)
We've used this seat since my girl was born. She's about 3 months old now. It's very comfy. Sometimes she sleeps in it. When she was new it was the only thing she would sleep in. Mostly I use it for her to sit in while I'm busy in the kitchen. She can be safe and comfy and watch me while I'm busy. She doesn't seem to care yet whether it's vibrating or not. The music is ok. I keep it pretty low, but you can turn it up louder. The little hanging dragonfly is cute, but I wish there was something she could interact with. The back leg is adjustable and collapses for travel. But it still isn't easy to travel with. The front leg should collapse too to make it easier. The handles on the sides are great for when I need to pick it up and move her to a different location. I haven't had to change the batteries yet... even though I'm always forgetting to turn it off. It has an auto-off after awhile, though. All-in-all I love it and can't live without it.

 "It's very pretty, but my baby doesn't really care for it" 2009-10-27
By Total Spaz (Memphis, TN USA)
I've had this sitting on my kitchen table, and I've been using it as a place to set the baby down so I can use both hands to do a quick task like get myself a drink or a snack. Unfortunately, he doesn't like to be in it for more than a couple of minutes. The vibration, music, and mobile don't seem to appeal to him at all. If he's already whiny or crying, he just cries harder when I put him in this seat. The Fisher-Price Rainforest Bouncer, while not as attractive as the Zen seat, is much more interesting to him because of the waterfall and moving characters. He'll sit happily in that seat for up to 20 minutes. Now that that he's big enough to sit in the high chair and activity center, those will be our new short-term baby parking spots.

 "Mixed feelings" 2009-09-18
By T. Needham (Washington, DC USA)
I have to give this a mixed review. Some things may be particular to my baby. I get a lot of compliments on its aesthetics. The music choices are limited and hard to hear. Plus the music is a little too zen for my liking. There's not a lot of stimulation - just that bug to look at although my baby does like looking at it but I have to bat it to get it to move as she is still too young to shake the seat. While it is portable, I've found it heavy and awkward to move from room to room and no way would I travel with it. Baby will stay in it for about 10 minutes only. In the end I wish that I had saved some money and bought one of the more "toy" looking seats like my friends have.

By J. Harris (Charlottesville, VA)
I really like this product. The colors are appealing, the music is great and it blends in nicely with our home decor. My only complaint is that I wish it reclined a little more than it does so that our daughter can be laying more instead of in a such an upright position.

 "Good overall jumper" 2009-10-20
By S. Purnell (VA, USA)
We got this jumper for our 3 months old daughter, she was developing fast and was trying to stand on her legs with our support and this was breaking my back to be honest. I decided to go ahead and try getting a jumper ahead of time, I know she's still too young for it looking at other reviews. Anyways, so far this jumper does what it's meant to. She likes hanging there and trying to use her feet. She can't jump yet but she likes being there and turn around to see the world from all angles. She does get fussy if she's left alone there but shee's too small to be that independent yet so I am not blaming the jumper. I read reviews about the difficulty of getting babies in and out of the jumper. Well, it's not easy in the beginning and it took 2 people in our case to learn how not to make her cry before we manage to squeeze her in the jumper. Now I can do it by myself, it just takes some experience to learn to do it without tears. It's not terribly hard to be honest. We have quite low doorways and I didn't want to risk getting more expensive jumpers that have specific requirements for higher ceilings.

So, don't waste money on jumpers with trays if your doorways are not wide. You can't really put the jumper in a normal doorway cause when the baby starts swinging he/she can hit the sides of the doorway. We had to forget our idea to hang the jumper in our family room cause it didn't have any wide open doorways. No we're jumping in the hallway, oh well. :) Now we know better.

 "dangerous piece of JUNK" 2009-10-12
By Eiren
we were given the "Osh Kosh" model by a friend. she'd received it as a baby shower present and never used it.

we set it up and put our seven month old, twenty pound son into it. we had to adjust it so that his feet would reach the floor and the spring was very stiff but he enjoyed "standing up" in it and swaying. we encouraged him to bounce and he got into it, but still fairly gentle bounces. we sat down here in the same room with him and it wasn't five minutes later that the metal plate which the strap feeds into for adjustment wore through the nylon strap and it broke, dumping my baby on the floor to be hit on the head by the plastic shaft that contains the spring.

I went to Evenflo's website but saw that we won't be able to contact them until the morning - it's Sunday night right now. I found on the web another complaint about the exact same thing happening, but to a smaller baby girl who fell and hit the back of her head and was then hit in the face with the spring portion of the seat.

I won't be giving Evenflo any more business, and will be passing this information along to all the parents I know.

 "Great Bang for the Buck" 2009-08-28
By D. Ovalle (Philadelphia)
My daughter has been using he Jenny Jump Up since she was 7 months old. At first she just dangled there, but after a week or so she got the hang of jumping. Now, at nearly 9 months, I don't know who gets a bigger kick out of it--her or everyone who gets to see her jumping and giggling. Now that she is becoming more mobile she only tolerates it for short spurts, but she does have a blast for those 7 minutes! I was concerned about damage to the door moulding, but so far I see none. Here's why I like it:

1. At about $20, you can't go wrong. Throw in another $5 item on Amazon and you may qualify for free shipping.

2. It's space efficient and travels well (as long as you are going to a place with the right size interior door jams and trim)

3. So far we have had no injuries with it--though my daughter is not unusually acrobatic--just the typical jumper.

4. It was just the thing to keep my baby occupied when she wanted to stand/jump but was still pretty immobile (and when I was unable to assist)



Here are a few things to note:

1.Some reviewers complain that the spring is too stiff, but it's actually a friction problem (when the spring rubs against the plastic tube that encases it). I used a q-tip to smear petroleum jelly (chosen for it's baby safeness) between the spring and plastic casing, and it fixed the problem.

2. Make sure you have an interior door jam that fits the specified width and that has trim around it. Otherwise you will not be able to use it.

3. It can be a pain getting the child in (aiming squirmy legs for two holes in a dangling seat) and back out (you pick up the child and the seat comes, too). If you are willing to put up with the minor inconvenience, its a great toy.

4. I only gave it 4 stars beacuse it can only be used for a small window of time--from the time they have good head control till the time they prefer to move around freely. But for $20, maybe I'm expecting too much!

 "LOVED IT! MOST ESSENTIAL ITEM FOR US!" 2009-11-22
By Kelly Field (Carlisle, PA)
This was one of those extra little things I just added to my registry, but I am SOOOOO HAPPY I did. It is so versatile in setting positions, and is so light and easy to fold up and carry around. My son slept in this often at home and when we would go visit family and friends. This worked well for that until he was like 1 1/2 and now he still likes to sit in it to watch Sesame Street. We didn't use the vibrate feature too often, but in the two years we've had it I only remember changeing the batteries one time (and that was simple). I would definately recommend!

 "so so" 2009-07-22

I got this as a gift at my baby shower ( bought from my baby registry)



My 2 month old son seems to like the vibration feature.It's not his fav chair though, he prefers the swing. He stays in this chair for 5 minutes max before he yells to get out.



The music in this is POOR, VERY VERY POOR!!!! It sounds like cheap crap and I am disappointed cause I had really expected more.It is the same quality that you will hear from a musical card when you open it. I think they were trying to play twinkle twinkle little star but the notes were off in some areas.



The rainforest swing on the other hand sounds very good.



I will NOT recommend, sorry.

 "Because baby will need a place to sit/nap while mommy/daddy are doing housework" 2009-05-04
By SF Mommy (CA)
I received this for our baby shower and boy, it has been useful. We unpacked it the day after our baby arrived home, and we have been using it daily ever since. Sure, the Svan chair is super adorable and hip- but the weight limit on this one is higher than the Svan, and the cat & dog toy thingy is just too cute.



At first, baby had no idea what the dog and cat were, but finally he is developed enough to be able to reach for them and make the chime run. So cute.



We have been using it since Day One of our baby's arrival, and am so pleased to have gotten this for our shower. At 5 months and 22 pounds, we have a big little guy, but so far it has continued to be quite useful. I'm not sure about the claims that it will help baby poo, but it certainly keeps him busy if you need to do the dishes or make dinner!



Minus one star, because it is ridiculously difficult to clean and I pretty much just leave a blanket underneath him, should baby have a power poo accident whilst seated/napping.

 "Awesome chair" 2009-05-02
By A. Ginter (Gilbert, AZ)
This chair is amazing. My 3 month old daughter LOVES it. The only complaint I have is that the vibration is not on a timer, so if you forget and leave it on it drains the batteries. I bought this for a trip to the grandparents house, and my daughter loved sitting in it, and also since it lies flat also took her naps in it. When we got home I decided to buy one for our house too.

 "Good Item but Warning about the bird toy" 2009-02-04
By A. Lerman
As an infant my son liked this chair but not nearly as much as he liked his swing. He liked to be in motion and if he was in this chair I would usually have to sit next to him and rock (as opposed to a bouncer where his own movements were strong enough to cause rocking). I tried rocking it with my foot so that I could eat while keeping him in the chair but it was not comfortable. Now at 6 months he likes to practice standing next to it while holding on to it, but in all honesty he doesn't really like sitting anywhere at this stage. I expect him to like it again as he is a little older (his older cousins go nuts with it when visiting). He totally didn't care about the vibrating function but absolutely loved the puppy - too bad the melody is less than a minute so I'd have to keep pulling it for him.



Bird toy - once he realized that if he pulls hard enough he can get it out of the socket it became his favorite toy. One danger is that as he pulls on it when it comes out the momentum can carry it to smack him in the head. Also once he gets it out he of course chews on it. He just got his first tooth and I noticed that with that tooth he has scraped off the pink paint from the circles and the green paint from the beak. Too bad but it's bye bye birdie now.

 "Wrong description on Amazon" 2009-11-18
By Kath70 (Virginia, USA)
This is the Boppy Bounce in Comfort Bouncer, however, the description on Amazon is for the Boppy Cradle in Comfort Bouncer. So, I didn't realise they weren't quite the same thing.



I was just sent this package and had put together before I realised that the music/sound component wasn't what I wanted. Aside from the ability to bounce and the softness of this device, the reason I wanted it was the soothing sounds. However, this item only has one selector so all you get is the music. Also, I assume that the music cycles through all 5 tunes that are mentioned on the package? I didn't bother to listen as the first tune was just dire.



Bottom line: If you like the idea of soothing sounds, don't buy this product. I have returned mine and indicated to Amazon the incorrect descriptor on the website.



Other than this issue, the product looked a good buy for the price. The colour of the material was a bit ho hum but that wouldn't have caused me too much angst. At least it was neutral which was what I wanted.

 "Excellent Bouncer!" 2009-09-10
By BinkersMom (PA)
This is a great product! This is probably the most plush and comfortable bouncer on the market. My son only just grew out of it, and he is 7 months old! It has a great head rest and side flaps for when your baby is small (our son was under 6lbs when we brought him home), but they are removable for when your baby gets bigger. He grew out of his swing around 3 months, but this was great for daytime naps when he was about 3-6 months old and was pretty much the only place we could put our son where he would actually stay asleep! This was also the chair we used to feed our son his first solids before we moved him to his highchair.



The toy bar is good for newborns who are just looking at the dangling items, but once the baby is old enough to reach and grab for things, it is somewhat useless. However, at that point, you can just give them a toy or teether to hold while they are in the bouncer, so it doesn't matter. My son loved the mirrored son when he was very young; it was actually one of the first "toys" he took an interest in!



The vibration feature is also very good. Many bouncers on the market have vibration features that are loud and jarring, but this bouncer is very quiet and relaxing. The little tunes are cute too... kinda like baby elevator music.



Overall, a wonderful product and a MUST for new parents! If you are trying to decide among bouncers, this is the one! I wish they made this in an adult size!

 "~*~Perfect Seat, it was a MUST HAVE for my TWINS~*~" 2009-07-30
By Mommy of Cuties M & Z (USA)
My husband and I LOVE these, we used them more as a seat/bed rather than a bouncer.



My twins were both less than 6lbs when they came home from the hospital so these seats were WAY too big for them. We folded a bunch of blankets and layed them on these so they fit a little better. My girls loved laying/sleeping beside eachother and these seats were PERFECT to do that. We could lay the girls in these seats side by side so they were snuggled together and the sides kind of cradled them and made them feel secure. Our daughters slept in their cribs at night but during the day they loved to be in these together.



When they were young enough we didn't have to strap them in(but also always watched them) because the shape of the seats are deep and perfect. This was so helpful with twins, especially when watching them alone. For instance, if I was holding Zoey on my lap while Madison was in her seat, if Madison started choking(she did often due to reflux) I could quickly put Zoey in her own seat & pick up Madison. I didn't have to worry about Zoey being strapped in so getting her in her seat was fast & Madison wasn't strapped in so I was able to get her out in a flash. I can not even express how important not having to strap them in when they were newborns was but it made our lives a whole lot easier. These seats were almost like a second set of hands to us.



These were also easy to take places or from room to room so we took these everywhere with us.



Once my daughters were a little bigger we started putting them in their own seats and they loved watching cartoons or napping, they never did mind being put in these seats. Also, they loved being put in the more upright position when they were older and if they fell asleep I could easily put the seat back into the recline position w/out disturbing them. They never payed much attention to the toys so I never kept that attached.



We had 2 other different kinds of bouncers but they were no where near as comfy as these nor would they have been able to nap or lay together in them. Especially if you have twins I would definately recommend getting these.

 "Great Bouncy Seat, Not sure about aseembly though" 2009-07-16
By R. James (Reston, VA)
I did not get a traditional bouncy seat with my first and it was one of the few things I did want to purchase when we had a second. I love our Boppy pillow and softness and thought this was a nice cross between a bouncy seat and a papasan. We had a little bit of an issue with assembly. After I tried to put it together twice and my husband who is usually great with this kind of thing we finally got it together. Just a warning, make sure everything is put together exactly as instructed. I love the softness of the material used. So far my nephew has used it and loved the toys dangling down--he is 5 months old. I will have to give an update with our new one too. The music is nice along with a nature sound option and vibration. I give it 4 stars for the assembly, but otherwise would give it a .

 "AWFUL noise!!!" 2009-11-16
By D. Johnson (Los Angeles, CA USA)
The people who complain about the noise are absolutely right. Which is sad, because in every other respect, this is a great swing. It actually saddens me to have to send this back, but the constant grinding "can opener" croaking sound is so loud it actually drowns out the recorded "soothing" sounds that come with it. I called Graco to ask for a new tower unit, I even played the sound for them over the phone, and they said that this was typical and not an issue with the unit. They very nicely offered to send me a new tower unit, but said that the new one would make the exact same noise. So it seems that they've decided this is what it's supposed to sound like.



UPDATE: I actually called Graco to complain and the second time I was told that the noise was NOT typical. They are sending me a replacement tower unit.

 "More than I bargained for..." 2009-10-23
By pineapplecoconutlime
Seriously, this swing is fantastic. Not every baby loves a swing at all times, so don't be discouraged if your child cries the first time he/she is put into a new swing (or a new anything for that matter). But, if you're going to buy a swing, this is the one. I keep this swing in our back room near where the back door enters into the house. When I come in from the car with a sleeping baby in her car seat, I just pop the car seat onto the swing base and she continues to snooze away while I unload/put away groceries, etc. It's awesome! I've also taken the swing seat off the swing base and just used it as a vibrating seat for her to sit in while watching me cook, etc. She sleeps so well in it.



And as for the complaints about the noise of the motor - are you serious? I actually find it comforting to hear the motor going and I know that the swing is working without having to see it. It's not a noise loud enough to keep a baby awake...in fact I think she finds that noise as comforting as any of the songs/nature sounds on the swing anyway!



This swing was easier to put together than we could have imagined, it is SO convenient with the vibrating seat/car seat options, and my daughter loves every bit of it now...we just started using the toy bar w/ mirror and she is ALL smiles!

 "Too noisy, poorly made" 2009-10-09
By T. hils (Alexandria, KY)
Like many others here have stated its hit and miss as to whether or not you get a good tower on the first try. I called Graco and they sent a new tower to replace the faulty original but this one is still too noisy to have in the same room as your television. The quality of the speaker is not that great so playing music from your ipod really doesnt sound that great, and how many will actually use that feature anyway. In hindsight I would save the money and opt for something a little cheaper.

 "Worth the money" 2009-10-08
By Nancy Nguyen
After reading a lot of reviews on this product, we decided to buy this item when I was 8 months pregnant. Now that our son is almost seven months, it's a good time to write a review. I do think it's an awesome product.



On the specifics of this swing (pros/cons) I thought the one review by Carolyn Bracey titled "A great swing with lots of bells and whistles makes for a long review!" was 100% right on. I want to note, we never heard any loud, croaking noises from this swing. Only a very mild motor-like sound which seems very, very normal to me.



Presently, we use this swing for our son's naps. During the day when he looks tired, before he falls asleep, I put him in the swing. Most of the time, he will fight it by kicking and screaming while in the swing. This can last from 5-15 minutes before falling asleep (so the swing has held up!). This is where the toy bar has become so, so useful. I use the toy bar to keep him locked down vs. the straps which take too long with a fighting baby boy. I use the number four speed and the Ipod option (he has a set of lullabies I always use which means "time to sleep"). The sound quality is excellent. He generally naps for about 45-60 minutes (which is how long he consistently naps for now).



When we brought him home from the hospital, he was a good sleeper so he slept anywhere, but especially good in the swing. Back then, we used the number 2-3 speed. However, I thought the three positions of the seat were still not horizontal enough for a newborn so, we place the swing in a horizontal position (non-snapped in position) which worked great.



There was a period of 1-2 months whereby we didn't use the swing at all because our son would only fall asleep nursing so he slept on our bed or couch. After he snapped out of that stage, we went back to the swing and it's been amazing. So, do not be discouraged if your child goes through a non-swing stage! When we rediscovered the swing again, we were so, so happy and have concluded it's so worth the money we spent.

 "Great for older babies" 2009-11-24
By Amber C. King (Alabama, USA)
I got this for my child when he was 5 mo old and he was only interested for 1-2 minutes. However, I put it up and brought it back out when he was almost a year old and he LOVES it. Now that he can put his hands around it and actually pick it up himself, he likes it a whole lot more. We found that the toy was pretty heavy for a 3-6 month old, so for us it worked much better when the baby was a little older.

 "Kaleidoscope" 2009-08-20
By Sienna's Mommy (Florida)
We bought this for our daugher when she was a few months old since she loved to watch lights and colors. It also seemed like a toy she could work herself somewhat. The toy is listed as appropriate for 3+ months but she didn't use it (without Mommy or Daddy pressing the buttons) until about 6 months or better for a couple reasons. The kaleidoscope is heavy - too heavy for a 3-6 month old to lift with any control. Also, the handles are very wide so tiny hands can't grasp and push the button on the inside to activate the music/lights. The buttons on the inside are the same color as the handle so little babies can't tell what to do - there's no contrast. She's 11 months now and after pressing the buttons a few times she's bored and moves on. It's a cute toy but definately needs 6+ months to begin to enjoy it.

 "Not my favorite" 2009-08-19
By A. Larson
The toy is not a kaleidoscope. Its actually a little boring for my 9 month old...partly because she doesn't get the part where you have to push the buttons and they don't stand out from the handle so its not intuitive for her to press anywhere...So, long story short...she grabs the handle and it does.....nothing. We have to push the buttons for her. Also, the little mirror thing on the bottom is a waste. I wish the colors flashed on the bottom part too. If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose to spend my toy dollars elsewhere.

 "Fun for the first five minutes" 2009-08-05
By Mommy of 2 (Wisconsin)
Bought this for my six month old, she really does not care for it at all. My five year old autistic son did enjoy it for about five minutes and set it aside. It has been collecting dust since.



It is just another toy where you press a button and get a short song and light show, nothing more.

 "Great toy" 2009-06-30
By Javajane (Huntington, CT)
for learning colors in 3 languages. Wish they had this when my oldest was a baby. But he is 4.5 and still loves this toy more than the little one. Easy for kids to grasp and use. We love it!
