 Best bouncer seat out there Feb 20, 2010
By P. Dean
"mommy_moves"
We have twins, a boy and girl, and so have purchased both the pink and the neutral Comfort & Harmony bouncer. As these are my 4th and 5th children, I can testify to having tried many different kinds of bouncers. Before finding the Comfort & Harmony, I have never been perfectly happy with any of the ones I've used.
The best features of this bouncer seat:
-Toy bar that does not pop off every time you move the seat to a different location, and it EASILY slides back out of baby's face when you want to pick him/her up.
-Two positions - works for newborns who need to lie almost flat and for older babies who want to look around. Most basic bouncers do not have this feature.
-"Bounce mechanism" is different than most seats - it bounces from the back instead of having a seat attached to two bars that bounce from the bottom of the front bar. This means the baby bounces up and down gently (good for newborn) instead of back and forth (NOT good for newborn's head and neck position).
-Removable cuddly, soft cushions and head support. The cushions literally surround the newborn's body, making them feel safe and secure while they rest.
-Music and sounds that are not EXTREMELY annoying; vibrations that don't shake the baby until he/she vomits!
My twins spend much of their days in these bouncers, and I am SO happy with this purchase. Other than their cradle swings, these are very comforting and sleep-friendly!

Lifesaver Jun 20, 2010
By Mom of 2
This bouncy seat is fantastic! We've been using it now for three months. Obviously the colors and animals are adorable, subtle, and easy to look at. The seat itself is sturdy (my 22 month old has climbed into it and it held!), yet very soft and comfortable for baby. As a preemie my son suffered from reflux and this seat helped elevate him just right. I would place the seat at the highest incline just after he ate, then could easily recline the seat more once he fell asleep. My son slept in this seat exlusively for the first 6 weeks of his life before I felt comfortable allowing him to lay flat in his crib. The newborn insert is a huge plus as well since it snuggles the baby on both sides giving him a secure sensation. I despise musical boxes on baby gear, so I can't tell you about the tunes; but the vibrator was a tremendous help in soothing baby to sleep during those early weeks. Now we're 3 months old, have outgrown the newborn insert, and still love bouncy seat time! Baby still naps in it frequently. Both the newborn insert and the seat cover itself are machine washable. Huge plus!!! The only drawback is that it's a bit bulky. Despite its size, it isn't obtrusive. The first bouncy seat that I borrowed from a friend was the basic fisher-price version and I was always tripping over the base of the frame.
I can't say it enough: this bouncy seat was a lifesaver during those first few weeks and we will continue using it until we have outgrown it. Love, love, love it!

Nice Bouncer & Good Customer Service Jul 07, 2010
By K Adams
I purchased this bouncer for my newborn and he seems to be pretty happy with it. My one and only complaint is that it seems to really chew thru batteries. It's a great bouncer but it becomes useless when the batteries are dead and I get sick of replacing them constantly.
Customer Service: One of the legs did not fit into the frame of the seat properly. I called customer service and explained my dilemma and they were friendly and promptly shipped me out the replacement parts.
Pros:
- Very soft and plush
- Sturdy toy bar that can be moved back easily to pull baby out
- Machine washable cover (toy bar is spot clean)
- Decent amount of vibration
- Pretty simple to put together
- Easily bounces with your foot so its not tiring
- Good customer serivce
- Recline position for newborns
- Very simple mechanism to switch between reclined and sitting up
Cons:
- Goes thru batteries pretty quickly
** Edited 10/28/10 **
After using this bouncer for several months I found that the batteries will last over a month if you do not use the music option. If you use the music the batteries will drain very quickly. So if you do not plan on using the music very much this bouncer would be really good. If you do want to use the music, be prepared to fork out a lot of money for batteries.

Pretty darn good Aug 24, 2010
By Velvet Marmoset
This has been doing the job for our newborn son for almost 2 weeks now.
Pros:
-Simple to assemble
-Stable base (quite wide though -- a negative for some, depending on your space)
-Toy bar with adjustable position
-Good vibrate feature -- pleases our son, inaudible from a few feet away in a normal active room, shuts itself off after awhile to preserve batteries (haven't timed it yet, but it goes for a good long time first)
-Tolerable music, though our newborn is unaffected by it so far
-Easily bounces gently with minimal movement from a newborn
Cons:
-Straps for the harness always end up lying right where you're going to put the baby, so you have to dig them out from under him/her just as you're hoping he/she might stay sound asleep. It would be nice if there were a pocket or something on each side to tuck them into to keep them up along the sides of the seat, instead of right under baby.
-Quite wide -- only a problem if you have limited space in which to put it
-Wish it were a little easier to move around the house or had a folding feature, but this is not a deal breaker and I'll sacrifice portability for stability at the moment.

We love this bouncer! Jul 28, 2011
By locally grown
My daughter is 6 months old, and is now getting too big for this bouncer. We're still using it, but having to phase it out. When she was a newborn, I loved that this bouncer snuggled her while she napped and the hanging toys entertained her (once she could reach for them) when she was awake. I also loved that it reclined so we could use it right away (a lot of bouncer seats don't accommodate newborns) and the more upright position made her happy when she was a little older. She never really cared for the vibration or the music, but I spent many afternoons bouncing the chair with my foot trying to get her to nap. She even spent a few night in it when she couldn't tolerate lying flat (she had reflux). I always felt that she was secure in this seat and she loves it.
Pros: upright and reclining position, soft comfortable padding, easily washable, toys for her to grab
Cons: The music is annoying, and the button to change the recline started sticking after about 5 months of use. The toys aren't very stimulating to an infant because there's very little contrast (but our daughter liked them anyway).
As you can tell by my 5 star rating, the cons aren't a big deal to me - every product has a few cons, but we love it anyway!
