Reclined seat or rocker works well for newborns. View larger. | Adaptable Design Grows with Your Baby This rocker features a unique design that truly grows and changes with your child. When baby is an infant, use it as either an infant seat when your arms and back need a break from carrying your newborn, or try it as a rocker--the low-profile frame makes it perfect for babies. When your child grows, you can add interactive toy play with the two hard toys (a puppy that plays music and a kitty with a spinning ball of yarn) that hang on the removable toy bar. Once baby is a toddler, flip out the kickstand to convert the unit from a rocker to a stationary seat--great for feeding, rest, or playtime. Note: use the upright position only when your child has developed enough upper body control to sit without leaning forward. Encourages Healthy Development In addition to its flexible design, this rocker helps support the healthy development of several key skills, while its calming vibrations and gentle rocking motion offer comfort and soothe even the crankiest child. First, the baby-activated music and rattles stimulate the auditory sense, while bright colors and patterns engage your infant's visual sense. At the same time, reaching for and batting the toys strengthens gross motor skills. Easy to care for, this rocker has a machine-washable pad and requires one "D" battery (not included). It also comes with two button-cell batteries for the dog toy. What's in the Box Rocker, toy bar, and two button-cell batteries for the dog toy. 
Easily converts to an upright seat or rocker for older babies & toddlers, too. View larger. |

Baby Products Reviews of Fisher-Price Newborn-To-Toddler Rocker, Animal FunCustomer Review: Can be dangerous Summary: 3 Stars
My son is 12 months old and this toy is supposed to grow with him but I put him in it since I am supposed to keep him immobile. So I sat him in this rocker, strapped in. He leaned over just a little bit to reach for a toy on the floor and he was on the ground with the rocker on his back like a turtle shell. Now there is a kickstand option where it won't rock and I can test it out to see that he doesn't flip in it but not now while he has the fracture! However... considering that this toy is supposed to grow with your child it surprised me that this happen. Maybe I am wrong and should have not left it in rocker mode but the product doesn't say anything that I should not put him in it the way I did. I thought it was safe. I think I have enough commen sense to judge something like this (I hope so ) but he did flip over in it. Just wanted to warn any of you that may have this toy. I was in the room with Marcelo when this happen. I didn't just leave him there but it happen so fast and unexpectedly. He was fine and nothing happen but I am supposed to keep him safe so he doesn't snap that little fracture into two. A fall like that could have done it. But he is just fine. I may test it out with the kick stands (maybe not) but if I do it will be in a couple months when he is fully healed. Actually I really don't make him sit in it at all.... since he is so mobile crawling around. I just put him in it because I'm supposed to keep him from standing up and falling.
Anyway, I am ranting now but I just wanted to warn all of you about this product. I did call fisher-price and documented a formal complaint as well. They were very gracious and offered to take the product back and refund me full price but for now I said "no thank you" because I really loved this product and the idea that my daughter can use it too. However... I could take up their offer at any time.
I recommend this toy WITH CAUTION. It is a cool toy but best for babies that are not moving much and for toddlers that can sit in it and get up from it independently. Any age in between use with caution. I have had 3 mommy friends confirm that the same has happened to them; one of them her daughter was 6 months old. Being on the floor I doubt major injury can occur but if using it for that in-between age use with the non-rocker option and pull the little legs out.
