5.0 out of 5 stars The BEST bouncer seat on the market, December 1, 2005

By

This review is from: Baby Einstein Discovering Water Rocker Seat (Baby Product)

With our first baby we had the Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer, which was great but I knew I wanted to try a different one with our next baby. After looking at many different bouncers on the market this is the best bouncer we found.

First, this not only vibrates but it is a rocker. The weight limit is up to 40 pounds so it will grow to a toddler chair, getting a lot of use out of it. It has four nature sounds, 4 classical music selections, 4 other classical music selections from the "Baby Neptune" dvd. But you are also able to hook up your IPod or other portable MP3 player and play any music you want to. GENIOUS!

The toys are cute on one side there is an octopus that has different types of activity tentacles, a rattle, a squeeker toy etc. On the other side is a toy bar with a star fish/mirror, puffer fish that squeeks and a crab that rattles. The toys both come off and move out of the way when your child doesnt want to play with them anymore.

My 2 year old is in love with this toy and my newborn loves the vibrating sensation.

If you want a bouncer that grows with your child, rocks and vibrates, has never ending music options and toys that encourage play not just something to zone out to than this is for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for an older/larger baby!, January 7, 2006

This review is from: Baby Einstein Discovering Water Rocker Seat (Baby Product)

We just got this for our six month old son as he has really out grown the traditional bouncer. He still naps in the bouncy seat so I hated to lose it. This is perfect. He actually looks small in it and he is a really big guy for his age (around 20lbs & 28 inches)! Lots of room to grow. The vibration is great and all the different songs/sounds are nice. The fact that you can change them manually or even hook up your iPod for more variety is great! He looks VERY comfortable in it and likes the toys it came with. It was a little bit of a pain to put together as the screws seemed to be the wrong size but my husband was able to work around that. The pad removes easily so it should be easy to wash. I think it would be fine for a newborn if you added a head support pillow, which you need to do with a lot of bouncy seats anyway. I think this seat has the "most bang for your buck" that I have seen yet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, January 12, 2006

This review is from: Baby Einstein Discovering Water Rocker Seat (Baby Product)

Our son used a Fisher-Price rocker for the first three months of his life. He really was uninterested in it ... the toys were not interactive at all, and the seat looked uncomfortable. Additionally, it was difficult for mom and dad to use, as its design made placing him and removing him from the seat a chore.

The people who designed this rocker, however, did an excellent job. The seat is a soft cushion that is large and plush (as noted in other reviews, the seat may be too big for newborns and small babies), which for our big baby was perfect. He still had plenty of room to grow!

The toys that came with the rocker are also well designed, and encourage baby to interact with them. The starfish has a mirror, the lobster has a rattle, and the puffenfish can squeak when squeezed. The octopus is removable (again, great idea), and has different toys on each of his tentacles.

The seat itself looks and feels extraordinarily comfortable, and the vibration function does not rattle a child's bones when new batteries are installed (The Fisher-Price chair had this problem -- if we left the vibrations on and lifted baby out, the chair would "scoot" across the floor for the first week as the vibrations were just jarring).

Finally, the coup de grace for this product is the audio system. The chair comes with melodies and nature sounds that you can play at three volumes to create babies' own audio experience. In a act of tremendous foresight, Baby Einstein added a cable to allow you to hook up a portable CD or Mp3 player to the chair. The chair can hold up to 40 lbs, and I can think of few 40 lb children that would want to listen to Water Melodies over and over again. This allows the parents to use the child's favorite music for a more customized, personal experience. My son already has no doubt that this is "his" chair!

Now to the things that were wrong with the chair: Expect the instructions to be so thorough to the point of treating you like an idiot. Putting the chair together is common sense, but the instructions literally take four or five steps to tell you which piece snaps where.

The "nature sounds" also sound manufactured, almost as if they hired someone to make "mouth sounds" into a microphone for a few minutes, and then looped it.

Finally, my only other complaint is that the toys on the toy bar (which swings out of the way --- great!) are a little too crowded. It's difficult for young babies to see them all and all of their features from where they sit.

My advice: the only problems with this chair are incredibly minor. Spend the extra money and get this great product!
