I purchased this bouncer for two main reasons: its portability around the house and the fact that it bounces on its own. My baby really seemed to enjoy it! The bounce isn’t too strong, but just enough to keep him relaxed. After about 10 minutes of bouncing, he’d usually drift off to sleep. I always made sure to only leave him in for short periods of time, but he seemed completely comfortable and content each time. The straps kept him securely in place, and he never tried to move around or escape, which gave me peace of mind. The bouncer itself is also aesthetically pleasing, with soft, muted blue and green colors that are easy on the eyes. The little animal designs are adorable, adding a nice touch. Overall, I highly recommend this bouncer, especially for busy moms who need a safe, cozy spot to place their baby for a few minutes while getting things done.
