Lots of "Bells & Whistles"!!!
Our 6 month old loves her Evenflo ExerSaucer! We had purchased another one w/out sounds and were so disappointed in the lack of activities. So, we returned it and splurged on this one. All of the "bells & wistles" are well worth it! She is only good for about 15-20 minutes at a time. The longest has been 30 minutes. We like that we can purchase other toys that will fit Evenflo products, so if we ever want to change them out, we can. It also collapses VERY easily, and hooks shut. There is a handle to carry it with. The ONLY reason we wouldn't give it a 5 star rating is because of the price...it is high. We have only had it about a month, so we have not had to replace any of the 12 AAA batteries. On another note, our daughter is only 6 months old and 22lbs, so she is almost at the weight limit for most exersaucers & bouncers...but this one holds her GREAT with plenty of room to grow!

Baby really loves it!
I got this item twice. The first one arrived at an earlier time than scheduled, but had some parts defected(two parts didn't sound and light even when I put the appropriate batteries). So I returned it, and asked for a replacement.
Amazon.com was great! They sent another one quickly and even without additional charges for Saturday delievery.
My wife and I am totally satisfied with the company's service. And the item is working properly. My four months old baby really loves it, and is enjoying while I'm writing this review.

Loved it and would buy it again
Excellent toy. More activities than any other "exersaucer" I looked at. Quality toys have lasted on one set of batteries and are still going strong. And our baby loved the toys. I would buy this again. Worth every penny. Thank you for a great product!

exersaucer
My daughter loves this exersaucer.It keeps her occupied for at least 30 min. She got it when she was 4 months and it helped her with her balance. Now that she's 6 months, she's discovered all the activities to play and learn from. I find it to be an excellent toy and learning tool for my child.

Definitely Durable!!!
When I was looking for an ExerSaucer, I read all the reviews and had a recommendation from a friend for this one. I loved the ABC theme! My son fell in love instantly and would spend forever playing in it. He loves it so much, we take it everywhere with us. On the way to our boat it accidently fell into the ocean. I yelled "Oh No"!! It has become that important to my son. We fished it out and can you believe the electronics still work! It's the super ExerSaucer!!! It's a little hard to assemble, but so worth it!

Awesome Exersaucer
We,ve found that our little girl loves this 1-2-3 tea for me exersaucer. It has plenty of fun and stimulating toys for our child to enjoy. She loves to pull out the flowers and play with them. It is easy to assemble and easy to clean. We are very happy with this product.

Little Girls Delight
Very happy with this product. Bright and pink cheerful colors.Many activities for my grandaughter to explore.Well worth the purchase!
would highly recomend it.

Cute Cute Cute !!!!
This is the cutest exersaucer I have ever seen. My daughter loves it. I started using it when she was 4 months she needed a blanket to help her not fall over but she really likes it and it gives my arms a break. The reason I only gave it 4 stars is because it doesn't have legs I really think it should come with legs.

Overpriced
This exersaucer is overpriced.
The seat is not enough cushiony and soft, very thin.
No seat belt.
No electronic toys, the toys on it fall off easily
Plastic looks cheap,quality not as good as expected from evenflow
Like other reviewer said, shoud be priced around
I am disappointed
Only good thing is colors are vibrant, I bought pink.
Not recommended

Saucer kind of bland...
It is stable and safe and cute, but my baby gets tired of it. The toys are rather boreing... We did add the Tea Pot Switch A Roo which adds some music and fun to this toy. Sad we had to pay extra for that though.

Good, but still looking for the perfect carrier
I bought the Ergo Baby carrier after using the Baby Bjorn; I liked the Baby Bjorn but it was killing my back and I was getting tired of having to drape a light blanket over my baby's head to keep the sun off her face (hats weren't staying on when she moved her head). I read a lot of great reviews for the Ergo Baby but I have to say I was a little disappointed :( It is pretty darn tricky to clasp the back clasp; I usually get it on by leaning over a bed, having the clasp already closed, putting my baby in the carrier, and then trying to snake into it. It kept her so close to me that every time she turned her head it knocked her pacifier out of her mouth so I was constantly stopping, leaning forward, and putting her pacifier back in. It would be soooo much better if there was a way to have them face out in this thing. Also, the head rest/ sun shade thing covered her ALL the way up so she couldn't see what was going on and that would frustrate her so as a sun shade it really didn't work for me. It did provide great back support, but it was so hard to get into plus the pacifier maintenance and lack of sun shade made me stop using it. I ended up just putting my baby in a stroller for our walks :(

I Love My Ergo
I went though 3 baby carriers and I love my Ergo best. My daughter is 9 months and we still use and love it. When you have a child nap time can prevent you from leaving the house, but having the Ergo allows my daughter to take naps when I am out doing errand or taking a walk. Another great feature is that it is comfortable. Other carriers hurt my shoulders, but with the Ergo the weight of the baby is distributed evenly throughout my body. Another great feature is the snap on hood. The hood protects the baby from the sun and gives the baby proper head support. Buy it and you will be satisfied. Ergo Baby Carrier Black with Camel Lining

LOVE IT
Love the ERGO! Totally worth 0!

So I used a ring sling when my daughter was little, but pretty much stopped using it when she started to get heavy. Decided to invest in a carrier that would evenly distribute her weight. She is currently ~23 pounds and I barely notice her in the Ergo! Both my husband and I use it (and he actually likes it and finds it easy to use, which is saying a lot). Although we can't compare the "performance" model to the other Ergos, we love it. We live in Phoenix and it has been hot. And although I get a bit sweaty using the Ergo, it really isn't that bad. I am convinced that in "normal" weather I wouldn't sweat at all due to all the mesh areas. It is easy/quick to adjust from me to my husband and quick to put on. Our daughter loves it. The sleeping cover is very useful to also keep the sun off her head/eyes and the pocket, although small, is big enough for my phone.

Got this pack for my third child and I'm kicking myself for not getting it for my first! Love Love Love it!!!!!!
I love love love this carrier it's the best one I have ever used. I have tried the cheap version of the bjorn, I have tried an expensive sling make that two. I have tried a wrap. First my babies never liked any of them. Second they would kill my shoulders or back not long after putting them on. Not with the Ergo. After reading the directions and having my husband there to assist me with the first trial run, I put my tired 5 week old in and went for a walk. He liked it and so did my shoulders/back. I can easily put him in the carrier by myself, I do have the newborn insert and find it easy to use. Today he is almost eight weeks old and I put him in it so I could vacumm and he fell asleep while I vacummed in less then ten minutes. I was able to get him out so easy he never woke up. This carrier is so great I can't believe I waited until my third child to finally make this purchse.

Comfortable for me & my baby!
I recently ordered this to hold my almost 6 month old son. He is already 20 lbs. & my Baby Bjorn is definitely not working anymore. My clavicles feel like they are about to snap in half when I carry him in it. I was worried that he might not like the Ergo b/c he is used to facing out in the Bjorn. Doesn't seem to be a problem.

I have read in a few of the reviews on Amazon that people think this carrier is just too tricky to use. I don't agree at all. It does look a little intimidating right out of the box. Lots of straps & hooks going on... But - once you read the manual that comes with it you should be fine. I admit that I did watch an instructional video on youtube to make sure I was using it correctly on my hip. Very helpful.

My son seems to enjoy being in this carrier. Even though he faces me (while carried in front) he seems to enjoy it. I have to say that I like the option of wearing him on my hip. I have both my hands free, he can still see my face & he's not directly in front of me to obstruct my view in any way. I haven't tried the backpack way of carrying him yet. I will probably need my husband to help me with that before I feel comfortable doing it alone. But wearing my son in front or on my hip I have been able to easily do by myself.

One more point - I think purchasing the sucking pads is a good idea. My son loves to chew on mostly everything at this time. They washed up nicely & are a lot easier to clean than the entire carrier. They are soft & abosorbent.

I recommend this carrier to anyone who feels like their Baby Bjorn is just too uncomfortable to wear anymore. Or better yet - skip the Baby Bjorn altogether & just buy this one first!
