Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Learning Patterns Rocker
Customer Review: Daughter loves her rocker!
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother watches my daughter during the day and bought this rocker to give her a little break. My little girl loves it and the fact that it will grow with her makes this money well spent. We have a more expensive bouncer at home that she is now outgrowing. My husband and I both wish we had found this one first.Customer Review: Just Okay
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this when my 3 month old was in the hospital. 3 weeks later, we are home and she doesn't want anything to do with it. The toys on the toy bar fall off all the time. There is just a tiny piece of velcro holding them on...which would be okay if the piece were bigger. I did like the rocking...since we had no swing. We had to replace the battery one time, which was easy. The cover comes off easily for washing. My 19 month old has since taken over the rocker and it has become a bit wobbly. I'm not real crazy about the boyish colors, but the 30 bucks was worth it for the hospital stay...but I wouldn't spend it again just for use at home.Customer Review: Wonderful haven for infants
Summary: 4 Stars
We received this as a birth gift for our son, who is now one year old. It was wonderful watching him grow with this chair. At first, it was a snuggly hammock where he spent some of his more restless naps and nights. The vibrating feature was great for calming him, and we could rock the chair to help him get to sleep, then leave him safely buckled in.
What was superior about this chair, as compared with the typical bouncy seat, is that when the kickstand is up, it is not on as steep an incline. This means it can be used by younger infants, even when they aren't great at holding their heads up. With bouncy seats, their heads tend to flop over.
Eventually he began batting at and grabbing the toys on the toy bar, which helped keep the chair interesting enough that he'd remain calm while I took a shower, checked e-mail, etc. This chair was one of those priceless items we would pack up and take with us when we travelled so he'd have a familiar place to hang out, wherever we were.
So for those first 6 months, this chair was definitely a winner. But since he's gotten more active, he is not content to sit there for long at all, and when he tries to sit forward, it does appear that the chair might tip over (though it never has). The one remaining thing I find useful about it is that it's a good place to buckle him in when I need to trim his fingernails. It keeps him still if I put the kickstand up.
I'm not getting rid of it yet. I am hoping that when he reaches an age that he's willing to sit still at all, this chair will be a place he enjoys. (My sister-in-law has the same chair and said her 4-year-old still enjoys it.)
Customer Review: not so good afterall
Summary: 2 Stars
We received this chair as a gift in our baby shower. I moved out of the US when my baby had three weeks, and we finally got the chair when he was two months old. The first thing that did not work was the vibration panel, we checked batteries and all, but it just did not vibrate, it only produced a strange noise.
However, we still loved the chair because our son looked comfortable and happy on it, and he loves to be put on it to watch videos. However, since he learned to sit straight he also discovered that he can pull his torso down, so I've found him three times screaming, with his hands on the floor and half of his body tied to the chair. I am putting some books on the legs of the chair to keep it stable, I just think that this chair does not work well when children learn to sit straigh. Any suggestions to solve my problem?
Customer Review: Great to use after a bouncer
Summary: 5 Stars
My outgrew the bouncer early and we had a hard time finding someonething that would work. We bought this and she likes to sit and rock in it and she really like the dog toy that plays music. I would recommend this.
