Fisher Price Bouncer - How Now Brown Cow

 (11 customer reviews)

I actually bought this with the intent to use it when my son was a newborn, but it hardly reclined at all when we put him in it, so he fell to the side and didn't like it at all. Now he is 3 months old and likes it for about 15min at a time, but only if I hang other toys from the toy bar because he can't reach the ones that are there. Overall, if you want a bouncy seat you can use before they have head control, this isn't the seat I would buy.

My daughter has spent many hours in this seat. I put her in it and carry her from room to room. I'll even set her in it while I take a shower and she just chills out in the bathroom with me. She doesn't care for the vibration too much, but loves the activity bar. You can also hang toys off of it so they can actually grab them and put them in their mouth which seems to be the funnest thing to them. A great product that I plan to use with my unborn children as well.

Our baby is almost 5 months old, and we have literally used this every day since he was about two weeks old. He's almost 16lbs, and I now have to watch that he doesn't try to roll over in it, but normally he's so content to sit, kick, and bounce himself in it that I don't have to worry until he gets fussy.

Unlike other commenters, we found that our little guy super loved the vibration feature. It was the only thing that would put him to sleep when he was about a month old. Obviously each kid is different, so YMMV. We were glad we bought a big pack of batteries before he was born. Our biggest complaints about the seat are that: 1. There is no indicator light on the vibration switch. Sleep-deprived parents are sure to miss turning it back off like we did, and that burned through batteries quickly. 2. Our on/off switch is totally worn out now (I'm telling you, we use this every day!). We have to turn it on and off a couple or three times before it turns on any...Read more
