Not bad.. could be better.
I was given an older version of this chair and I loved it for my daughter. Unfortunately, it broke when she was about 5 months old and I had to get a new chair. The newer one is, in my opinion, not as good as the old one. With the kickstand out, the chair reclines too far and my daughter was unhappy in it. The different back positions are barely different and it made almost no difference. We stopped using it shortly after we got it.

Now that my daughter is older (almost 2) and capable of sitting in a chair on her own, we thought we'd give the rocker another try. It's still not much good. When she backs up to it to sit down, it slides backwards across the floor and makes it very hard for her to sit. When she does manage to get into it, it still reclines too much and she quickly gets out. It would be nice if there were a smaller kickstand on the back to make it more stable.

Aside from it being of little use to us, it's kinda big and, unlike the older version we had, it doesn't fold. This makes it somewhat inconvenient to store when it's not in use or to take it on a trip. Maybe (hopefully) this chair will be of more use when we have another child and can use it from the time that child is a newborn, but I wouldn't recommend it for babies who can sit up or toddlers who want their own chair.

Great Product
This is a great rocker/vibrating chair...the only thing I wish it did was fold up, and played music. The middle toy plays a short song when you pull it, but thats it. But if you are looking for something to strap your baby in, that you can use for more than just a few months this is a good buy. It will last them years rather than months. I could of bought this instead of just a bouncy vibrating chair, which only lasted about 3 months with my daughter.

Baby likes this chair
We bought this for our baby when she was 2 months. She hated the vibration at first and now tolerates it. Now at 3 months we use it mostly like a play gym. We have 3 large dogs so having an elevated play gym helps. The rattle toy that comes with it is OK. We hang our own toys off the bar using links. She likes the song it plays. We get a lot of use out of it already and I'm glad we will be ablr to continue using it when she is a toddler.

Versatile and great for all ages!
I wish there were more stars to give this product! My mother got us this rocker as a gift when our son was two weeks old. It has been a sanity saver ever since!

When he was a tiny newborn, we'd just put him in this chair and turn the vibration on, and he was asleep within a minute or two. It was so soothing to him at the time! We even had him sleep in it next to our bed while he had a bad cold, because he slept on an incline that allowed for his sinuses to drain. We let him sleep there for several weeks after that because he just slept so peacefully in it!

As he got older, it became a good place to set him down if I needed free hands for a few minutes. Now, he's started playing with the toys on the toy bar (which is removable). He LOVES pulling the chain on the little umbrella because it plays a song for him. He pulls it over and over and over until he's ready to be picked up again. My only wish is that the umbrella came with more songs, because it does get a little annoying after hearing it for the twentieth time in the last five minutes. I imagine it would be relatively easy to take out the batteries, but he loves it, so I can handle it.

I can see us using this for months to come, and probably for the next baby too!

2 month old loves it!
Our 2 month old loves to sit in this and just watch everything around her. I have taken off the toy bar because she would rather observe her surroundings and makes it easier to put her in and out. We weren't using the harness uptil now but with the increased kicking, we will have to very soon. It rocks just the right amount that she enjoys it but won't get addicted to rocking to andd fro. We also have a lamb and cradle swing but baby prefers this MUCH more as she would rather be sitting up and watching.

Very satisfied
The product was delivered very fast with great price. The product is very useful for my daughter. We use this everyday.

My son loves this bouncer!
Soon after my baby was born, I started the search for a good bouncer. I bought this one based on all the good reviews on Amazon and the Babies R Us website. From day one, he loves this bouncer. The lights from the waterfall and the music gets him so excited! He loves to pull on the parrot and monkey. I like many features on this bouncer. First, I like the many different settings it offers. You can have it set on continuous lights and music or it can be set to motion-activate so that it makes sounds when your baby pulls on the monkey or parrot. It also can play animal sounds in place of the music. Second, the battery life lasts a long time. We had it for almost 2 months before we had to change it and my son uses it every day! The entire bouncer is very easy to assemble and disassemble with a phillips head screw driver. I packed it in our suitcase easily. Lastly, I love the vibrating chair. Its very soothing and he has taken short naps there on many occasions. This was a great buy and I would buy it again!

Keeps my baby entertained
We started putting our daughter in this bouncer at 2 and 1/2 month old. It usually keeps her occupied for at least 15-20 minutes. We have the toy bar on motion activated mode mostly,which means the music only plays for a short while if she touches the dangling toys. It saves the battery and we're not annoyed by continuous music. She is entertained by the waterfall and the music and at 3 months old she is really starting to pull on the toys instead of randomly waving at it. The bouncer is light-weight so we can move it to anywhere we need, unlike the swing. It allows my husband and I to have dinner together while our baby daughter sits in the bouncer still close to us not demanding to be held the whole time. We love it so much we keep one at the babysitter's place as well. It's definitely a must-have!

Toy Bar Broke Right Away
My baby loved this, but the toy bar has a frog that moves and it broke right away. The gears got messed up or something and it began to make this loud clicking and grinding sound. This upset my baby and also upset me since I payed so much for this. I have since read other reviews that say theirs did this same thing, so it must be a flaw with the whole line of these and not just mine.

Our baby girl LOVES this bouncer!
We absolutely love this bouncer because our baby girl loves it. She smiles whenever we put her in it and gets so excited to be playing in it! She is 12 weeks today and for about the first 8 weeks she wasn't interested in the bouncer at all, but about 4 weeks ago we tried it again and now it is her favorite toy. I can put her in it and she entertains herself for quite a while so that I can get other things done around the house, eat, or go to the bathroom without her crying. When she gets overstimulated and doesn't want to look at the toy bar anymore, we take it off and she likes to just hang out in the seat with the vibration turned on. This bouncer is really a lifesaver for anyone with a young baby!

Fantastic jumper!
This jumperoo has been a fantastic addition to our daughter's play things. Not only does it help with her leg strength, she loves playing in it. It has many brightly colored animals and various sounds as well as the bird and banana above her to reach for and play with. She jumps forever in it and absolutely loves it. It is very stable even with her jumping as hard as she can. Make sure you adjust it before you put your child in (obviously) so they can just reach the ground and your child will love to bounce, learn to stand, and get to play all in one!! Highly recommended!

Great Jumperoo...
I love this jumperoo but I'm thinking her legs get a little sore in it after about 20 minutes because she starts to fuss. She can stay in her Exersaucer longer than the jumperoo. There is also more to do on the exersaucer than on the jumperoo. But we still love it and won't be getting rid of it anytime soon! I will take a baby-free 20 minutes anytime!

Awesome toy!
I bought this jumperoo when my son was a little over 2 months old. He was too small for it at first and he also wasn't sure what to think of it. As far as him being too small for it, his toes could touch the ground on the first level but it wasn't enough for him to be able to jump. I proceeded to stack a couple of sheets under his feet, which made it much easier. He bagan figuring the toy out pretty quickly. He is now a week away from being 4 months old and he loves his toy. Also, he doesn't need the sheets under his feet anymore. I have seen reviews where people have complained about their baby not being able to reach the ground. I will add my sons length with hopes that it will help someone else figure out when this will work for their child. At 2 months my son was 24 1/2 inches and now, at almost 4 months he is right about 26 inches.
I love the different toys on this jumperoo too. There are plenty of colors and lights to keep kids entertained. All and all, I don't have any complaints.

Jumperoo is great
I bought two of these for my twin grandchildren. The parents of the twins were delighted because the twins could be entertained for quite a time while the parents did other things. The lights and sound captivated them. They were premies and are now 5.5 months old and just beginning to sit up, but these were supportive enough for them. We adjusted the height so their feet touched the floor and they quickly learned to have the jumperoo make noise when they moved around. This was one of the greatest kid items I have ever found.

Jumperoo Fun!
My daughter LOVES her jumperoo. The music on there keeps her jumping, and it actually doesn't get annoying for us. She smiles and talks to the bird that hangs above, and plays with the toys on the jumperoo. The mirror was also smart, she likes to look into it. The best part is that it allows for us to put her in there for a few minutes so we can eat a meal. My only complaint is the height settings. It does not go low enough for my girl to put her feet on the ground, so we had to put a box underneath her to get it to the right height so she can play in it.
