EW Baby loves his Baby Bjorn Babysitter Balance. I have to admit, I had reservations when I put this on our baby registry, as it is definitely a pricey rocker. However, both EW dad and myself looked at many rockers and did not really like the mechanical ones, and weren't sure if we wanted a chair that looked like a lamb taking up space in our small condo.
The chair has more than exceeded our expectations. Our baby started to really enjoy it when he was about 2 months old, or around 9/10 lbs. Now at 3.5 months, he can spend 30 minutes sitting in it and entertaining himself (we have the wooden toy, and sometimes attach our tiny love travel mobile to give him some variety)! It folds down easily, which is great for a small apartment, as well as for travel and visiting friends. We like how it looks - clean and simple. One of our friends was so impressed, he even commented that he wished the chair came in adult sizes for himself, because our baby looked so comfortable sitting in it!

You can choose fabric!
This product comes in three fabric collections.
Sure the BabyBjorn bouncer is a bit pricey but consider this: I have a bouncer that is over 10 years old and is currently being heavily used by a 5th baby/child, you can check it out at BabyBjorn Bouncer. They never go for a poor price as a used item if you take good care of it and that's the catch... it is a really good design made from excellent material so you can take care of it really easily. Just pull the fabric off and wash it. And when you don't need it or wanna transport it you can fold it up and you're good to go. Definitely and excellent item!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I have seen an adult model bouncer on a website somewhere, REALLY! :D
