A baby bouncer: the greatest pleasure for your tiny human

Soon after giving birth you will notice that your little one wants to do much more than just sleeping and eating. Your baby reaches out for you and looks curiously at all the interesting things of this yet strange new world. Being equipped with a well-designed and comfortable baby bouncer will support your child on exploring the new surroundings in an ideal way. Furthermore, the baby bouncer will actively involve your baby into everyday family life. When you are busy with doing household chores and thus won’t find the time to rock your baby in your arms, he will happily accept the new rocking companion which makes you as parents feel reassured that your little one is well. A portable baby bouncer ensures that you can move it from one room into another so that your child can be with you at all times. This way, the bouncer also increases the mobility of your child.

Major benefits of a good baby bouncer

A good and high-quality baby bouncer must feature some basic characteristics. Since a baby bouncer is an ideal place to feed your child in, it is of major importance that the bouncer can be cleaned easily. A removable cover should be suitable for being washed in the washing machine. Also the frame of the bouncer should feature an easy-to-clean surface. Crucial to the bouncer is that it features a safe support so that it doesn’t slip out of place when your little one kicks and moves violently. Be sure to place the bouncer safely on the floor, preferably on a soft carpet. Baby bouncers are not suitable for being placed on the table or other pieces of furniture. Never leave your child unattended when he or she is sitting in the bouncer.

The most important features of a good baby bouncer

Baby bouncers from a simple and plain make to a deluxe version

Baby bouncers are available in various designs. Many manufacturers such as BabyBjörn, Chicco, 4Moms or Jané offer plain and comfortable, mechanical bouncers and others that feature an electric rocking mode, too. There are deluxe versions that come with various toys and music features. When purchasing a baby bouncer, you should pay attention to the weight capacity and stability of the shell which shouldn’t be too soft since it must provide your baby’s soft spine with optimum support. The harness is essential for supplying your child with maximum protection while sitting in the bouncer. There are bouncers that feature either a three-point harness or a five-point harness of which the latter one add even more protection by fastening your child in the shoulder section, too. The belt buckles must work reliably and come with a child safety device. If the baby bouncer you chose to buy is equipped with all those features, you can be sure that it is going to be your child’s new favourite spot.

A baby bouncer for the smallest children

Manufacturers of baby bouncers specify the age suitability of their products. Theoretically, you can even put a very small baby into the baby bouncer, but always make sure that he or she uses it for no longer than half an hour per day. This is a recommendation given by paediatricians and midwives. Since babies gain weight rather rapidly, you should always have an eye on the load of the bouncer when putting your little one in. A baby bouncer which adapts perfectly to the size of your child will definitely benefit his or her development.
