Product Information

While they’re not the same thing, you’ll find that baby bouncers, swings, and jumpers often appear in the same category or aisle when you’re browsing online or visiting a store. But even though they can all serve a similar purpose, they’re different in how they function.

In other cases, sometimes you just can’t compete with the soothing rhythm or vibration of a bouncer when your baby is fussy. A bouncer can help to keep your little ones safely entertained or calm a fussy baby. I am a die hard Baby Bjorn fan,” Millie Poppins says. “There is a reason they are so popular. I find the design the most intuitive. It’s easy to wash the cover, lightweight and simple to fold flat with a variety of height settings. It also provides a really lovely rhythmic bounce and an older baby who is squirming will be able to set it in motion themselves.” When should a baby start and finish using a bouncer? This was my favourite aesthetically; a gorgeous unit that blends into the room like a piece of furniture and is designed to mimic a leaf swaying in the wind. Somewhat ironically it’s actually the heaviest, so while it feels sturdy it’s not particularly easy to move around the house or travel with you. My son Jasper is now seven months old. When I was pregnant, it never occurred to me to buy a bouncy chair along with the other essentials I needed ( car seat, pram, high chair etc). But I must say the effect has been transformative.Bouncers are an ideal part of your baby’s gear that can keep them occupied when you need to accomplish a task or soothe a fussy baby. But when shopping for this essential item, there are a few things to keep in mind. Weight limit Operated by a digital touch display with a built-in speaker, it plays a selection of eight sounds including white noise and classical music pieces. It’s also Bluetooth-enabled, so you can send through your own playlists from your phone. We used the pre-loaded sounds at first but the speaker quality, while good enough for me, didn’t quite measure up to his father’s very strict standards. An endorsement from authoritative groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) also influenced our selection process. Pricing guide It’s not necessary to spend a premium price to get a quality item with the features you need. We’ve highlighted a range of options from budget friendly to median to luxury pricing. But within each range, you should be able to find a bouncer that offers a safe place to keep your baby along with value added features like vibrations, sounds, and mobiles or toy bars. Safety regulations

Your baby should never sleep in a bouncer. However, most bouncers are rated for use from newborn stage through late infancy — usually around nine to 12 months of age. Although it’s not always realistic that a more active baby is going to want to sit in a bouncer, consider whether you can adjust the recline position or if it’s a model that’s designed to convert and grow with your baby. Are baby bouncers safe for newborns? Even if you have plans to be the most hands-on parent that ever existed, the time is going to come when you need to put your baby down to free up your hands. And sometimes, simply putting them on the floor on a playmat isn’t going to cut it. Usually there is a minimum weight rating that tends to be anywhere from six to eight pounds. Always make sure that your baby is securely strapped into the bouncer and don’t leave them unattended. However, once your baby has mastered sitting up, it’s time to retire your bouncer because it poses a tipping risk. How long can a baby be in a baby bouncer? It is always safest for your baby to sleep on a firm, flat, waterproof mattress clear of loose blankets and pillows,” Millie says. “A bouncer can be used in the day for supervised naps but is not recommended for long stretches of sleep and definitely not for overnight sleeping.” Is a bouncer better than a swing? Lying in a bouncer is very tiresome for a small child and can be bad. for the development of the spine. Never place a child in a bouncer for more than 2 hours a day.We’re not saying that your toddler will let you strap them into a bouncer when they’re able to run around the house. But if you have your heart set on a bouncer that grows with your child, the BabyBjörn Bouncer Balance Soft is designed to accommodate babies from newborns up to the age of 24 months.
