My son generally needs to be rocked to fall to sleep, however his original bouncer was getting too small as he's now nearly eleven months. We bought this as an upgrade and I'm very impressed! He sleeps easily in it, looks very comfortable and he loves the bright colours, especially the purple monkey!
I'd easily use this from birth for any future babies from newborn.

I love our rocker, it’s perfect for my 5 month old. I don’t think it was the best for a newborn but it’s brilliant for his current age. He loves the vibrations and the rocker. Also has a clip in bar across the front with toys on.
I bought this as I was on a tight budget and this chair will do up to 2 years or so depending on the size of the child. My little one didn't like it when she was new born but she's been happy to sit in it for a while now and will even take a nap in it. It has a vibration function and the hanging toys keep her entertained, it isn't very heavy either so it's easy to move around the house or transport if needs be, would recommend.
I honestly can't fault this. We have big babies and this was perfect. Keeps them entertained looks stylish and snuggly for them. Also is very sturdy so won't topple over for the stronger babies like my heffa lump munchkin. Also found it easy to rock with one foot which is a definite must
A fab chair for our baby! He loves the colourful patterns on the chair and often turns his head to look at the monkey! He loves the dancing toys too one is a rattle and mirror and the other makes just as much noise when hit. The chair has an adjustable back(3 settings) and can be reclined using a foot underneath which is great for a quick nap. We found the chair was too upright for our baby when he was newborn it is adviserised from birth but the there is not enough support for a young babies head. Our baby looked slumped in it. I would recommend this product but for a baby of 3 months +
Great quality, lightweight, vibrant, large enough from baby to toddler

Takes D battery that’s not commonly bought in our house

This is a great chair I really can rate it enough, it is used by my newborn mostly and when the newborn isn’t sat in it my 2yr old jumps in it, the vibration is soothing and help to gently settle baby, I love how colourful it is and the toy bar is easy to remove if you wanted also love the lion rattle, headrest can sit up if wanted and is easier to do then the older model chair like I had when my previous son was younger, by far baby prefers this chair to the more expensive swings.
Absoloutley fantastic chair my 7wk baby loves it. really comfty shes happy & contented in it. its very sturdy perfect for after a feed too.vibrates, seating position can be altered & the bottom can be tilted on a base making it perfect for lieing down for a nap the colours are perfect with a great washable wipeable seat cover thats soft i love that it will grow with her she will get many years use out of this. the seat harness is adjustable & secure & easy to put together not heavy a must have.
Brought this chair for my girl after she outgrew her beloved bouncer. She loves to bounce when she’s tired or just watching tv so I decided to get her this chair. It’s a great sturdy chair and has a stop bar so I can stop her rocking whilst she’s drinking her bottle ? I’ve only had it a few weeks and other than the seat cover not staying attached properly I see no other issues with it!
My little one has had this rocker chair since day one. She always used to fall asleep in her chair she loved it that much. The vibration setting was great as it really helped to settle her when she was getting tired. It’s not the cheapest chair on the market but it’s certainly not the most expensive. At this price it’s certainly worth the money for a good and sturdy quality product. My little one still plays with the toys and sits in the chair now even at 11months old
This was bought as a gift so cannot comment on value versus function fully however I am impressed with the longevity of the product as so many seats etc are targeted at a small window of months whereas this one grows with the child.
My little girl (5weeks) likes to sit and play with the animals that dangle. The vibration function is very soothing especially if her tummy is a bit full of wind.
It would be improved by having an infant head rest attachment - as I feel I cannot leave her unsupervised even for 5 min as her head is unsupported.
This bouncer is brilliant. I bought if after my 20month old broke my 4 month olds bouncer in the hope that it would be suitable for both and it is! Baby likes playing with the toys and I can recline if he falls asleep. My toddler also naps in here which is a good send as she hasn't napped since around 14months. Amazing thing which gives me 5mins of peace!
I love this seat however I paid £90 in mothercare for this! It was a little big for my newborn but now at 3 months she loves it! However the toy bar is still a bit high for her! Can’t wait to watch this chair grow with her. It’s also great that the toy bar removes and the chair vibrates! It is great for napping in too.
I chose this chair for my baby as it could be used from birth and up to around 2 years of age. I was not disappointed when I got it as it seems to be really good quality, sturdy and safe, seeming like it will last the distance.
The seat part comes off easily so it can be washed in the machine, though it states a gentle spin cycle and therefore takes a while to dry after!
The toy bar is quite high so it was a few months before my baby could reach the toys and you can’t use it when rocking as the toys fly about quite vigorously.
The vibrate feature is a nice touch, it’s quite soothing for baby as an alternative to rocking.
It can be used either in a reclined position up to 6 months, then in a more upright position once they can support their head and upper body.
As my bay has got older she’s become quite taken with the animals on the seat and turns round to see them when sitting in the seat!
I’d recommend this seat, whilst a little on the dear side, it should last a good couple of years which is good value for money.
Got two of these for my twins as a Christmas gift. They are 3 months old and absolutely love the colourful toys, that they have now begun reaching for. The vibration usually soothes them and send them to sleep. The fact that the chair has different uses is brilliant and means they can use it for longer! The biggest issue is just the head support, meaning we have to put a folded blanket under their necks/heads for support.
Used from newborn, was handy to have somewhere to place baby whilst I was doing chores, cooking etc especially with it being light meaning I could move it from room to room with me so I could keep a constant eye on him.
Really liked the look of the design and the toy bar was a great extra as baby really loved playing with it as he got older.
All in all a lovely chair; nice pattern on the seat, like that it sits and lays back, and you can stop the rocking.
However, when sitting and rocking the toys are really low and face level, meaning that when the chair rocks the toys hit your baby in the face. I also would prefer if the toys on the bar were removable (so would my baby).
The description does say good for use when eating as you can sit and stop the rocking, however, when you put the bar out to stop rocking it is reclined a fair bit so not suitable for eating.
Overall though great chair, love that it can be used from teeny baby up to toddler. We do have two other chairs which our baby outgrew by the time he was 4 months!
Not keen on the hole where the crotch strap can be pushed through.

We bought this for my baby who is 11 weeks old but very long. He wasn’t comfortable in his smaller bouncer and his legs would dangle off the end. I absolutely love the design of this especially the bright and stimulating colours. The size is amazing and I can tell that this will last a long time so definitely worth the money! I love the fact that it can rock or be stationary and the soothing vibrations are a god send! The only downside for me is the big hole by the crotch strap. This hole is to push the crotch strap through and under the seat when it is no longer needed but I feel it spoils the look of the product a little and maybe a detachable strap would have been better. This is only a minor issue though and overall we love it ?
This was a life saver for me as my baby enjoyed sitting in this for most of the day as a newborn-6 months. The toys were an added bonus as it was something for them to look at/reach and grab as they get slightly bigger. It had a button to be able to vibrate the seat and this always got my baby to nap during the day because of the motion. It was quiet too so no noisy lullaby’s or nursery rhymes when you don’t want them. The seat did recline slightly and you can have it on a rocking setting or use the bar to prop it up so it was not able to rock. I’ve kept it for my second baby as it was so useful!
Comfy, easy to assemble, two positions, rocks, detachable toy bar

Toy bar cannot be used when rocking.

We have two of these chairs for twins, we moved into them at around 5 months and they were just the right size. If you need to do a quick double feed, or have a bit of still time to reduce baby sickness they are perfect. We have never actually got around to using the vibrate function, we did on their small bouncy chairs which were also Fisher price, I'm sure they are just as good. When you set the chairs to rock your baby can rock themselves with ease, if you want to rock with your foot it's not as easy.
This rocker is enjoyable for both my 9 week old (who has been enjoying this since she was 3 weeks) and also my 17 month old... (This may be because it's his little sisters toy). It's a great way for babies to learn and focus their eyes on the hanging toys whilst rocking back and fourth. However the bigger and heavier baby/ toddler gets the less sturdy the rocker seems. My son has tipped the rocker on multiple occasions due to his weight when getting in and off the rocker. Overall a fab toy be to enjoyed for all.

Good product my child enjoyed using it for sleeps, even though my child is older, still being used as a seat, decent price, I like the fact that I can rock easily but also has vibration setting too
This chair can be used from new born to toddler.
It’s space saver when folded but quite bulky otherwise
Nice vibrant colours, mellow music, subtle vibrations
We were very excited when we received this rocker for our newborn.
The chair is a lovely colour and is very girly, which is just what we wanted.
Our newborn loves laying in the chair and the vibration feature is a bonus.
Also our 19 month old also loves laying in the chair and uses it too.
I have found that the rocking motion isn’t very smooth and often looks as though it is jerking rather than rocking.
But over all this is a great chair to have as something else for baby to lay in.
I was brought this as a baby shower gift. I like the fact that it grows with the baby but I really dislike that it only vibrates an no music is played. Also while the vibrating program is running it has a high pitched beeping noise.
