Baby Products Reviews of Bright Starts Bouncing Buddies Cradling Bouncer in Blue
Customer Review: Invaluable and a great price too!
Summary: 5 Stars
THE GOOD:
**Cute - Nice color and I love seeing my little one in it. :)
**Ease of portability - Extremely lightweight yet really sturdy. It's easy to pick up and move around to places like on the big couch in lvg rm, bed, floor opposite kitchen, etc.) EVEN while he's in it. Love that I can do my chores while he hangs out with me.
**Thumbs up for Arc of hanging toys - When I first bought this, I would just leave the arc of hanging toys off because my baby wasn't old enough to appreciate them. Now that he's 9 weeks he really seems to be enjoying the toys!
**Baby enjoys being in it - My son loves this bouncer. He watches me from it but most of the time he just sits quietly in it, checking out the "scenery". He likes to kick his feet, smile, and "talk" to me from it as well! :)
**Hands-free care - Also found I can "bounce" his bouncer with my foot by gently nudging the frame up and down while I do computer work or check emails, etc. Invaluable for getting stuff done WHILE he's awake.
THE BAD:
**Hanging Arc of toys is NOT a handle - I was a little frustrated about this at first but then I realized you could pick up the bouncer from the metal base. The arc is really just for toys and nothing else. IMO, this issue is hardly consequential as this product gives such great value for the money.
OVERALL:
Awesome buy. You might be tempted but try not to leave your baby in this for too long!! LoL
Customer Review: bright starts bouncing buddies bouncer
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this bouncer and was totally disappointed. I will first say that the look of the bouncer is cute and the cover is sooo easy to remove for washing. The toy bar is cute and the toys are just fine. you can add your own if you like because there is a Velcro loop that toys attach to. I don't know how strong they hold up because I wasn't actually able to use this bouncer. The model I bought only had vibrate no music. When I put it together I thought something must be wrong. The angle of this thing was pratically dumping the baby out. I took it apart 3 times a rechecked everything, because it definitely was not the angle the picture on the box was proposing and from other reviews i had read they said the baby lays back good. Well not with mine. I had to hold my baby with one hand so he didn't slide out of the bouncer and try to snap the waist restraint with my free hand. Now i may be blonde , but I am very capable of putting a frame together and do have experience with baby products as i run a home day care and this bouncer was purchased for my second child. If the bouncer would have had a "more laid back angle" I would have kept it and for the money not a bad product, but the one i purchased I must say was dangerous. If this is the way they are being produced now i would not recommend for safety reasons. My husband also felt the same way he commented on the angle of it and said he didn't want our child in that because i looked like he would fall out.Customer Review: Not As Bad As Some Say
Summary: 5 Stars
I decided to get a bouncer because my son had begun to get fussy laying in his bassinet all day and holding him became a little tiresome on the arms. So my search began.
I read the reviews for this bouncer and at first I was a little weary to purchase it. However, for the price and being a single mother, I decided that I would try it anyway, it can't be as bad as people make it out to be.
Boy am I glad I did!
My son at a month and a week old loves the bouncer, which is good for me. I can put my son in his bouncer and do things around the house and he is very content. I like the music because the music isn't annoying and the level of how loud it's played can be controlled and the vibration of the soother, really keeps my son happy. My son bounces fine in it and it's not as hard for him to bounce in it as some people has said for their children.
Also it's very easy to construct (it only took me about 15-20[or less] minutes to construct) which is a bonus if your a single mom with no one to help you build things.
The only complaint I have is the turtle toy. It is quite big and if hit can hit the baby in the face, so I just removed the turtle toy from the bouncer to resolve the problem. Other then that I think it's a great bouncer, and would recommend it to other single moms.

Summary: 4 Stars
I nannied off and on for 10 years before having my son. During that time, I made a mental list of what items were worth spending big bucks on. In my opinion, from your baby's perspective, the $100 bouncer is no nicer than this one. It does the job just fine, is durable, and not over-stimulating like so many of today's more expensive brands. I put it together in less than 10 minutes. I've never felt like it was going to "dump the baby out" as one reviewer mentioned. I'm not sure if they had a defective bouncer or what because I can't even imagine what they were talking about. My little guy loves this chair. I knocked off one star because the bouncer I received from Amazon did not come with the music function listed in the product description. Although I feel less is more in the world of baby toys (and actually am happier that it lacked music), I didn't appreciate the false advertising.Customer Review: Good Bouncer- no bells and whistles
Summary: 4 Stars
Good bouncer, toys are detachable, vibration has one setting. I actually interchange the toys with the toys on the Bright Stars Backyard playgym. Rattle, teether and mirror- good toys. I did notice that my 4 month old was able to grab them and detach them VERY easily since the are attached with velcro loops--Which is ok I guess. I don't care much for the colors or pattern. The bar seems to hang at a good height-- hangs almost directly in front of my babies face- don't know if that is too low. I heard moms raving about babies loving their bouncers but my 4 month old doesn't take to it much. This is my first and only bouncer so I don't have much to compare it to. One thing I did expect was for my baby to bounce ON HIS OWN (he's a very big 4 month old), but I have to manually bounce him or he doesn't bounce at all. Overall satisfied.
