Combi Pod Bouncer in Wasabi

if eames designed a baby bouncer it would look something like this. i think vibration is essential in a bouncer which is why i couldn't buy one of those sweet oeuf chairs. but this pod has it all. this is my most used baby item at the moment for my 2 1/2 month old daughter. i'm very happy with it's design and function. i don't use the hanging toys or hood. i didn't give this five stars because the vibrator seems to be getting noisier with use and sometimes is a loudish buzzing. not a huge problem, but a bit annoying. also, the music only plays one short (30 second) song per button push, which is strange. my daughter likes the chimes and we'll have to keep hitting the button so the music doesn't stop. anyway, great chair that looks good in our home.

I purchased the pod for my son who is due this month. The pod is aesthetically pleasing and appears it will do the job. I do recommend reading the entire instruction manual and laying out all your parts before attempting to put the seat together.

Cons:
1. The support bar has a notch on one side that if you don't pay attention to and incorrectly assemble it can either ruin your new purchase or take a highly determined pregnant lady to fix. I accidently put the wrong part of the support bar in and it took me a pair of hair scissors, (to press in the silver button) and all of my 9 month pregnant woman strength to remove the bar. I read that someone had the same issue in a review and Combi told them too bad because it was stuck. This is kind of irritating since all the other parts won't go in if they are the wrong way. I think Combi should label the notched side.

2. The toy bar comes off easily.

3. The music does not play that long...Read more

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...Read more
