Fell apart with bub in it – Had been loving this bouncer right up until the very first time I dismantled it for washing. I put it back together following the instructions and had been using it fine again for almost a week. Until today, i had it in the kitchen and put bub in there (like I do regularly) to talk to her and sing to her whilst I made dinner. The next thing i know… Read more

is the bouncer is flat, her head made a sickening thud as it collided with the tiles and the baby was screaming. I haven’t stopped crying sorry and I am already looking to buy a more stable bouncer. And she’ll never be in a bouncer on tiles ever again without something below her. I am feeling like such a crap mum tonight. Save yourselves the hassle

Instructions should be clearer. Build it right and it's fine – TLDR: Unit works well when you assemble it correctly. Instruction step 6 should read "once the leg has been inserted through the bracket, continue to lead it up the hollow metal rod of the frame of the seat back" Advertises itself as "easy assembly instructions" - But I assembled it dangerously incorrectly on my first attempt (which was a… Read more ·  1

careful attempt having seen reviews raising concerns about assembling it). The design involves square ended metal rods which are threaded up a metal tube in a pressure fit configuration (the instructions say "This may be difficult to do. This is a tight fit as a safety precaution").

Initially I misinterpreted the instructions and threaded the rod up the styrofoam surrounding the metal rod. Once the styrofoam inevitably tears the bar pokes into the fabric and presents a hazard. In addition the bouncer then isn't adequately supported and lies almost flat. This appears to be the same error as other negative reviews.

Not safe – I got 2 of these for my twin boys and one of them let my 6month old tip forward flat onto his face. The lock system doesn't seem to engage. Show details

Cheap, simple yet effective – When looking for a bouncer I really wanted a very simple and basic one. So not to take away too much from development or to overstimulate my son when I was using this. This one is perfect for that. Great value, I wouldn’t recommend anything else Show details ·  1

Great for those early newborn days! – Loved this product. I got one second hand for my baby when she was a newborn. She wouldn’t go in any other bouncers as they were too firm. She liked this one as it moulds to their body & makes them feel like they’re in the womb I guess!? Show details

Falls apart – As per the review title. Strap is also not adjustable height wise and for a smaller baby, the clip sits under the fabric making it fiddly. I wouldn't recommend this bouncer for a newborn, it might be better for an infant 6+ months, but by this stage a swinging seat, highchair, or upright seat (Bumbo) may be more appropriate...

Comfortable and light weight – I had another bouncer with my first and my baby hated it (and being put down, and sleeping...) so I assumed my second would be the same. To my shock number two was more than happy to give my arms a rest so I ended up ducking down to Baby Bunting and looking for a bouncer. In deciding what to buy we were keen on something plain. Baby wouldn't be… Read more

in it for long-mainly if we were doing some thing and needed to put her down - and I wasn't keen on those colourful plastic ones that play music etc

The seat itself has been really good. The mesh seems comfortable and nicely molded and the seat has enough bounce without rocking her.

My four year old likes to relocate baby next to her whilst she is in it and it has taken her roughness quite well. We also haven't had any of the assembly/sturdiness issues I've seen mentioned online in other reviews.

The only negative I'd say is that my four month olds legs almost already hang over the edge so I'm not sure how much use we'll get out of it. As its also quite basic there were no adjustable angles.

For what you pay its a good purchase. I'd recommend.

Flimsy – This was painful to assemble and lasted only about a month before the metal support bent on one side. Now it’s wonky and I can’t fix it, no matter how hard I try! For a bouncer that looked simple and strong, I am deeply disappointed. None of these baby bouncers come cheap and I expected extend much better quality.

Easy to use – Really good bouncer. Moves easy when baby kicks, assembly was rather easy although popping in the middle bar took some effort and cussing (think the company fixed problems with the frames being too loose as of other reviews). It is easy for me to move around the house if I need housework done and fits in the boot of the car for when we visit… Read more

friends and family and you dont want baby's only option to be a pram.

Initially wanted it because of the mesh, baby wont sweat in during summer. Its washable. Price tag suits the products simplicity.

A winner.

Very unsafe – I was very happy that i purchased this product initially as I could get it to bounce so easily compared to other bouncers on the market that are quite static and stiff. Even my 4 mo baby could bounce in it on his own by simply shaking his leg. But on safety aspect, it's terrible. It has only 3 point harness which is illfitting and once the child… Read more

is able to roll over or becomes mobile, they can tip over along with the frame side ways or can propel their head backwards and upwards tipping the frame over at the head end causing serious head injuries. This has happened to my son several times but luckily after the 1st couple of incidents I have been literally sitting next to him to hold him and prevent those accidents from happening. For this reason you can't leave the baby in it to do your other stuffs.

Unsafe – Our bouncer joint connections keep coming apart, with one instance causing baby to double over from insufficient stability and overbalance. It needs better joint connections otherwise not able to be trusted. I like the bouncer apart from this problem. This bouncer is not safe for babies until this problem is fixed. It's a constant problem.

DO NOT BUY! – This bouncer has fallen apart twice in 2 days. Causing my 3 month old sons head to hit the ground. Luckily I caught him the second time. The connections are very loose and do not stay together. I can't believe this product is on the market. I would NOT recommend this product to anyone it is not safe.

Excellent – We tried out our baby in alot of the bouncers at the store and straight away my 3 month old took to this bouncer. Its more upright than most of the others which allows him to look around while happily kicking and bouncing. I liked the no thrills look to it and it was alot more affordable than alot on the market. Even though there is no toy bar we… Read more ·  2

place it under his floor play gym and he can reach the toys that hang over that. I dont think this would be suitable for babies under 2 months as they need some head control as it is fairly upright. Holds up to 9kg. Overall very happy with this purchase. Affordable, looks good, easy to clean and baby loves it. No toy bar.
