We purchased this seat for our son because he loved being in his FP Precious Planet bouncer so much. We wanted to get something to keep upstairs since we are too lazy to carry the bouncer up and down the stairs. We decided on this because of the soft, plush fabric and the cute design. While he did spend some time in it, if I had to chose between the bouncer and this, I would chose the bouncer, hands down as we have gotten so much more use from it. Our son outgrew this seat (lengthwise), but he still uses his bouncer daily.

Cute but nearly useless
I really REALLY wanted to like this infant seat. It is the best looking one out there.

Unfortunately, it looks like Fisher-Price did not use an actual baby when designing this product.

1. The toy hangs too close to the baby's face.
2. The curve of the seat does not seem to fit the baby right (and I have a average-sized baby).
3. My son doesn't like it!

and...
4. The toy bar does not stay up, always swings down even when we don't want it down.

I know how important it is for newborns to be held a lot, so I didn't plan to use this all the time, but even for the short periods my son was in it (to get some food started on the stove, run another child to the bathroom, etc.) he was not content, even when it was vibrating. He likes the swing much better.

Therefore I'm returning this one. It is good looking, but that's worth nothing (especially not $[...]!) if we won't get any use out of it.

Cute little infant seat.
This seat is worth 50-60 dollars, for sure.

First off, it's totally portable. Take it with you on vacation, to the beach, , to the backyard, to the bathroom, to the kitchen, and you've got a sturdy, comfy, and reliable baby seat to help you get your housework under control.

Like ANY baby item, if you use it as a babysitter, you will be disappointed because baby is going to get pissed. I've had this for at least five months and the original batteries are still going strong.

I have this in addition to a swing, because it's easy to just grab this if I need a shower and set her up right on the floor while I bathe. This way I can keep a close eye on her and communicate with her if she feels lonely.

Also, this seat folds up for storage behind a door or wherever you want to put it. It's subtle and not one of those gaudy raindow-colored baby items, which I appreciate.

For me, it's a must have Amazon registry item.

it's not bad, it's not great
my son slept in his seat for the 1st two months of his life. Then he decides he wasn't having it anymore lol so we moved him over to the matching cradle swing and he's been sleeping in that every night ever since. he's 6 months old now.
but he got really used to the music from the lamb seat (and to be honest so did I - the swing music has chirping crickets in the background that drive me crazy.) so I flatten the seat and put directly underneath the swing and use the music from that instead.
during the day i move him around from place to place so he doesnt get bored (exersaucer, bumbo, activity mat, and lamb seat.)
I def think that now that he's older he would prefer to be more upright, so he doesn't stay in the lamb seat as long as the other things and he def won't sleep in it at all anymore. but it's good enough for 15 minutes here and there. (i wonder if he would like it better if it DID bounce. he doesn't have really strong ab muscles yet and i dont have a real bouncer so i dont know.)
but like i said, we can't live without that music. we have to go to NYC in august and we're taking the lamb seat just for the music alone (for the 8 hour drive.)
when he's older and def not using the seat anymore im gonna have my husband find a way to take the music box off the seat to make it even more portable.

Sammy loves his lambie!!!
My baby loves this seat! He was premature, so it was a perfect place to put him in for a nap or for extra soothing and comfort. I LOVE how soft the headrest and body are. I wish I'd had something like this when I was a baby! Not that I would remember it anyway!:)
When I purchased it, I got it for a steal. from . So I already loved it because of that! I can't tell you how many times this product has kept Sammy entertained when I needed to get homework done, or take a shower. I would bring the lamb seat in the bathroom and put him in it while I showered. He would either fall asleep, or just sit there and listen to the music and enjoy the vibration. I know it really soothes him. I've only seen him bat at the hanging lamb a couple of times; I'm not sure why he's not more interested in it? Overall though, I have loved this product, and I know he has too. I would definitly recommend it to a friend!

Good swing, just make sure the hinge is aligned
When we first put it together, it would not swing on it's own power at all, no matter what we tried (with a 9 lb baby inside it). Then I saw that where the swing hinges was rubbing...not the side by the batteries/controls, but the other sides. The swing frame is really wobbly and loose (even thought it's assembled correctly), so you have to make sure it's adjusted so it's not rubbing on the left side pivot point.

I wish they would have made the frame better so that it aligns on it's own, and doesn't wobble around so much.

Not a good investment...
Our baby loves this swing if....we push it every two minutes to keep it going. This defeats its purpose. It says it has 5 settings, but they are all the same. Basically the mechanism is not strong enough to swing the swing, even when it's empty. It says it can swing a baby up to 25lbs, are baby is 12lbs and it fails to do the job.

I'm so sleep deprived, the last thing I want to do is pack this swing up and try to deal with Amazon customer service and return it....that's where they get you!

essential could be better
My 2 month old loves the motion of this swing. I dislike the songs as you can not choose which song you want or the tempo of the songs. The music also only plays for a short ammount of time before it stops and you have to restart. THis swing folds easily though is still a little bulky when folded but a nice feature. I am also worried about how the swing will move when he gets a little heavier. The batteries have lasted a month and are still going strong. Over all a great purchase for the price.

Great alternative soother--short term
As the grandmother who has been about the park a few times--I wanted my daughter to have this, as an alternative way to soothe the newborn--especially given she has a 3 1/2 year old too. A first-time parent may not understand this product, but a second-timer might appreciate the extra pair of hands it gives a stay-at-home mom with a baby. Just remember to use the belt to snap in EVERY time, they can fall from this without that. And this doesn't solve all problems, only is a tool.

Works well, but not easy to travel with.
I purchased a travel swing because we move often for my husband's job. I had the impression that this swing folded up fairly compactly, but it really does not. I have found that I have to take it apart completely to make it fit in a small enough space. Another thing that I don't love about it is that the slowest speed seems pretty fast. My baby is going on four months old and he is just now big enough to really use it. That being said, it does work well and the bright colors are fun for the baby to look at.

Satisfied
My son is not a big fan of being stationary. So anything that I have to buckle him into is not his favorite. However, he has spent a considerable amount of time in this seat while my husband and I eat dinner or whenever I have a less time consuming task to take care of.

I do like the bouncer myself. It's very cute and now that my baby has figured out how to turn on the music, he might be more willing to spend some time in it.
Also it would be nice if the attached toys were interchangeable with other toys.

Ocean Wonders
Every bouncer has its pros & cons:

pros:
* my 3 month old loves staring at the bubbles and seems mesmerized by the spinning starfish
* has a 10 minute self-timer so it acts as a good reminder to switch activities for your baby

cons:
* battery compartment is located underneath the seat making battery changes awkward
* uses 4 D-batteries and we were constantly going through them!
* toybar needs to be completely removed every time you put the child in & out of the seat -- if they could make the toybar swing out, it would make life more convenient!

One of the best bouncers you can get
This is for the Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer. I love all the Fisher Price bouncers and toys in general, but this has to be one of their best inventions yet. This bouncer keeps my baby enterained for HOURS, allowing me to easily get things done. When my 3 month old is feeling active, he loves to sit in the bouncer and grab/kick the hanging fish and seahorse. When he's in the mood to relax, he will lay back and stare at the swimming fish/bubbles. When he wants to sleep, simply switch on the vibration and he's out in a few minutes. If you are looking for a good bouncer that will actually keep baby entertained without you constantly having to "bounce" him/her, look no further!

excellent baby item, only one complaint
Love this bouncer! On our 3rd baby and all 3 of them have loved this seat. I have washed the fabric seat dozens of times and it has not shrunk, faded or worn in any way. It's very easy to slip off for washing as well. My ONLY complaint is the water level has dropped to about half what it was when purchased 6 1/2 years ago. It's unfortunate that Fisher-Price makes such a great product that lasts the test of time as far as the fabric, construction and electronics go. Wish they could make one that doesn't lose water. I figure the star and the fish will stop spinning/moving as the water level continues to drop.

great for fussy babies

I absolutely love this bouncer. I looked at alot of bouncers and found this one to be the cutest. My very fussy newborn loves it. She used to cry all of her waking moments but now she is like a different baby and I believe this bouncer made the difference. She loves looking at the fishes and starfish, and the vibrations really calm her down. Some reviewers have said the bubbles are noisy, but I find the sound very pleasing and baby likes it. The music that it comes with is very nice also. This aqaurium bouncer is the best thing I own and I highly recommend it for very fussy babies.
