Seat Helps Babies Develop Balance While Having Fun
The unique design of the Babysitter Balance utilizes babies' movement to generate a natural, rocking motion, so they can entertain themselves for hours--all without the use of batteries. By creating his or her own movement, your baby will develop balance and build important motor skills.

The chair can be securely locked into three different positions so your baby can sleep, rest, and play in comfort. The chair is suitable for newborns and holds up to a maximum weight of 29 pounds. When your baby is old enough to sit down in the Babysitter on his or her own, you can remove the restraint system and it will become a comfortable resting chair.

Removable and Reversible 100% Cotton Fabric
Made of 100% heavyweight cotton, the Babysitter Balance's fabric is soft to your baby's skin and durable for long-term use. All fabrics and materials used in the Babysitter Balance that come in contact with baby's skin are Öeko-Tex Standard 100 Class 1 certified, an international safety standard for textiles, and contain no health-hazardous substances. The ergonomic design provides support for a baby's back and head while the fabric molds comfortably around the body.

Both the fabric seat and restraint system can be easily removed and are machine washable. As an added touch, the seat and restraint system are reversible when you want a fresh, new look. And with its attractive colors and striking, vertical piping, this seat is refreshingly stylish for the modern parent or babysitter.

Sturdy Footrest with Anti-glide Strips
The Babysitter Balance is designed with a footrest attached to the front for reliable stability. It also features anti-glide strips that ensure the Babysitter rests securely on the floor.

For added fun, consider purchasing the Wooden Toy for Babysitter (sold separately).

Pediatrician-recommended for Mental Development and Physical Support
Pediatricians recommend the Babysitter Balance as a practical choice for helping babies develop motor skills and balance, as well as for providing developing babies with proper neck and spine support.

Lightweight for Easy Transport
Especially convenient when you're on-the-go, this seat's lightweight, sturdy frame is easy to carry from place to place and folds down compactly for trouble-free transport.

5.0 out of 5 stars My favorite second set of arms. :) July 8, 2009

This product has really helped me get things done around the house. Our daughter sits in this "babysitter" while I load the dishwasher, fold clothes, take a shower (she is right outside of the glass door so I can see her) and get her bottles ready. She also sits in it (as we have yet to get a high chair) at the dinner table with my husband and I when we eat dinner. She is on the floor, in the "babysitter" and not on the table. I have taken the cover off and washed it several times, and it still looks AMAZING! We also purchased the toy bar and she loves to spin the little attached toys. We purchased this when she was 12 weeks old and she is currently 18 weeks old and still loves sitting in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great seat and great for infant reflux February 17, 2009

By Big Al

I was searching for a seat we could use for our son with moderate/severe reflux. We've been keeping him in an extra car seat but its a nuisance and not safe unless we strap him in. Most seats/swings seem to make him curve too much and sit back. This seat is great. The most upright position is sooo upright, he just loves to have conversations and kick his legs in it (couldn't do in the car seat). And if he gets sleep, I can easily lay him back in it and he'll still be at a nice angle for his reflux issues. The fabric is soft and easily washable as I've already found out. Wish it was about 50 bucks cheaper because that's what I see as the value (I got mine on sale on Amazon for 120) but I am very pleased with this purchase. It's also nice that you can just slide them in and out without having to fuss at all with straps or snaps. Great product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby loves it February 13, 2011

By G. Herzberg

Color Name:Brown Beige

I saw this on my Amazon rec's and was a little doubtful about it because of the price. After watching some youtube videos of babies screaming in delight on it, I decided to take the plunge. Our daughter is only two months old, so she can't muster enough kicking force to rock herself (I don't think she even understand cause and effect yet), but putting her in the chair and rocking it with our feet has been a great way to calm her down when she's upset and brings out the biggest smiles. We've left it in the "sleep" position without the body restraint attached, but will probably start fastening the harness when she gets a little older and graduates to the upper two positions.

To try and teach her how to kick operate the chair, I've been placing my forearm underneath her feet then letting go to help her push off -- she loves this game. Today after playing the kick game for about 10 minutes, I stopped to eat some lunch and when I looked back, she had the saddest look on her face and I saw a lonely tear rolling down her cheek. Our daughter hasn't produced enough tears to actually come out of her eyes, not from immunizations, heel sticks, or having 8 hour diapers... until now.

Pros:
1) No automatic parts, so it stops when your baby stops. We were worried our daughter would get addicted to the vibrating chair.
2) Folds up nice and flat, easy to carry and it's light.
3) Proportional response to how much the baby is moving, I like this more than a swing.
4) Baby friggin loves it!

Cons
1) I think it's a little overpriced, so if you can find it somewhere for less than one hundred it's a little easier to stomach if the baby doesn't like it.
2) The toy bar accessory is really expensive. We had the Tiny Love Sunny Stroller Arch (less than half the price of the bjorn toybar) for her car seat and it attaches to the Bjorn too. When we first put it on and bounced, our daughter's eyes went wide in amazement at all the dangling bits swinging around.
