Product Description |
|
All the wonders of the rainforest are captured for your little one in this adorable bouncer. A parent- and baby-favorite, this bouncer is full of fun, intriguing things to do for your child. Watch the tree frog and monkey play peek-a-boo in the leaves by the "waterfall," and see the toucan move back and forth overhead. Baby will love batting at the hanging toys to activate the light-up waterfall and peek-a-boo action, which is accompanied by rainforest songs and sounds. Or, parents can activate the sound effects for continuous play. After a day full of rainforest adventure, turn on the calming vibrations and your infant will be ready to relax! Requires 4 "D" alkaline batteries. |

Great bouncer! |
|
This has beena life saver so far, my son is only a month old but this is his happiest place other then being held. He's already swatting at the bird and likes to watch the lights. HE plays and sleeps in this and loved the vibraiton. Definitely a good bouncer! As good as the OCean wonders I had prior. Fisher Price knows how to make good baby gear! |

Average usefulness for a premium price. |
Time used: 5 months.
Summary: Product works as intended. It isn't great, and it isn't awful.
Should you buy: Maybe. The quality is ok but I think its a bit overpriced.
Childs favorite: No.
This product has been a rather average addition to our collection of distractions for our child. Our son uses it every day so I consider myself to be well versed in this item.
The Good::
1) The design is somewhat unique, in that the arch can be on or off. We use it with and without the arch about 50/50. The arch has a couple of metal contacts which allow it to get power for the waterfall. When the arch is in, it has power automatically. This is rather nice, there is only one set of batteries for the product. A good design feature.
2) The music and sounds are above average. Some baby items have tinny overused music, like my fisher price smart stages rocker. But this unit has fresh music that I have not heard before and the speaker quality is very good. Its a kind of marimba beat with a catchy rythym. I can listen to it for quite a while before I say "ok, its driving me crazy now". So, thats a real plus.
3) The cover comes off easily for washing.
The bad::
1) When the batteries wear down, sometimes the speaker will "screech" really annoyingly. There is a simple circuit that could have been added, which makes sure that the batteries give full voltage until they completely run out. You know how some things, like cell phones, have plenty of power and then just die? Thats what I'm talking about. Fisher Price apparently did not include this. Instead, as the batteries wear down, the lights get dimmer and the music slows and its just annoying. For $40, I would have expected to see better circuitry.
2) We have a boy, and he's above average in weight. Not a porker, but just above average. The chair keeps leaning further and further down. If you have a kid who is above the 50th percentile for their age, then you might not be able to use hit past 3 months. Soon its not a bouncy chair, its a bouncy bed. I think it could have been designed a bit differently to adjust the supportiveness, so that as a child grew you could increase the resistance. Anyway, the point is that he will fit the chair for a few more months but the chair is bent over. For $40, I would expect them to have thought of this.
3) The vibration could have an LED showing its on. Occasionally, someone takes the baby out meaning to come back and shut off the chair. But, if you have the chair on carpet and do not have the music on, then it might sit there and vibrate overnight without anyone realizing it. It would have been SO CHEAP to add a little "power indicator LED" next to the switch. I mean, really... so many cheaper items have this (baby monitors, whatever). I feel that for $40 there could have been an LED.
Do you see a trend here? Well, I feel like for $40 there should have been a bit more to it...
Overall, if you are looking for a place to put your baby while you do something else, its fine when they are very very young. As my baby grew he didn't like it very much, he usually went in it because *I* wanted to put him somewhere for a few minutes, not because either of us like it very much. My son greatly prefers his Fisher Price Jumperoo. |

Awesome!!! |
|
My baby loves it. He can stay in his chair for hours and he enjoys its music and lights. He doesn't like the vibration, but I don't care about it. I recomend it and I will keep it for my next baby. |

Great product, but outgrown fast |
This product is really great for small babies. My guy loved it from about one month until three months, but once they have the desire to sit upright you can kiss the peaceful time you get from the bouncy goodbye. Now he will only sit in it without direct interaction for a maximum of five minutes before he gets frustrated and wants out. At this point, he much prefers his jumparoo (also rainforest).
It is a nice way for your baby to learn cause and effect. My man figured out quickly that kicking or pushing the bird or the monkey would make the lights go off.
If you have an older child in the home, it extends the fun for baby because baby loves to be roughly bounced in it! I watch a 9 month old little girl and it amuses both her and my son because she likes to flick the bird on top and bounce him rather roughly. Seeing as my guy is old enough to hold his head steady and is securely strapped in and also seems to love it, I let them interact through crazy bouncing. When she is here, I can get about 15 minutes of amusement from him out of it at a time. |

Okay for a couple of months |
I am giving this bouncer three stars because my daughter did enjoy it for about two months. But then she became bored. There are only two toys to manipulate, and the other moving parts had lost their appeal
as well. The 19.99 bouncer I bought is working out better for us since I could change up the hanging toys to keep her interested. |
