| My daughter loved sitting in this FP Ocean Wonders Aquarium Bouncer. It gave me moments of tranquility, while she watched the fish make bubbles and listened to the peaceful music play. Once she learned to kick, she was able to turn the fish on all by herself, which she loved doing. We are glad we purchased this item. It's a great buy, not terribly expensive and worth every penny. |

"Terrific and safe !" | 2008-06-23 |
| - Reviewed By geochick123 |
| We got this as a gift and another one. This is great for laying your very wee one in after they fall asleep and also for some active play...they get transfixed by the gurgly bubbly water sounds and moving fish etc. I highly recommend as long as they are under 3 months...the base is heavy and sturdy so it doesn't feel like it will tip even when baby kicks hard. The drawback for me was the baby kicks the hard blue plastic poles that hold up the aquarium part...I fixed the problem by cutting the toes off a pair of my husband's athletic thick socks. One sock per pole and he can kick safely. FP should pad those poles. Also, this price seems high ...I've seen it cheaper and check your local craigslist. *it does not adjust so we use a different bouncer chair for more active playtime where he'd like to 'sit up'. |

| This is one of the best items that I purchased for my new baby. I couldn't be happier with it. He loves to sit in it, and it is the only way that I can get a shower everyday! I bought it when he was 11 weeks old, and he is now 17 weeks and still enjoys it. I only wish I had bought it sooner! |

"Flimsy, activity bar useless" | 2008-06-01 |
| - Reviewed By ebots |
We own this bouncer as well as the FP Rainforest Bouncer. I would recommend the Rainforest Bouncer over this one any day.
Pros: lightweight, (relatively) muted theme, not overly cutesy
Cons: lightweight aka flimsy, not enough depth to seat, safety straps require that baby sits waaaaay too high in seat, activity bar only allows kicking and is too far away from baby to allow grabbing of dangling toys, bubbling mechanism doesn't turn off and has a really annoying mechanical sound, anemic lights
The Rainforest Bouncer is so much better... much more substantial, deeper seat, good straps, allows for grabbing. Skip this one!!! |

"Nice, but may bring on COLIC Warning" | 2008-05-06 |

MAY and I stress MAY bring on COLIC in young babies?? This is not scientific, but here's what happened. 6 week old baby very happy and content. Sat her in this and she loved it, watched and listened, vibrated and went right off to sleep.
She started having colic that night. We went a week, with dr visits, simethicone treatments and all of the soothing things, including this vibrating chair. Which still put her to sleep.
She had suddenly become an agitated, angry baby. We stopped using this for a few days, for other reasons, and she settled down. I put her right back into this seat with the vibrations and music and lights. She reacted positively to the stimulus, but was right back to screaming, this time she started within 20 minutes!
I made suggestions about not using it, but she was put into this a day later, with the same results. Nice calm happy baby, to agitated and crying.
She has not been vibrated for 3 days and she's back to happy camper. She is off of the simethicone, now for 2 days.
I cannot hardly beleive these results myself. I'm thinking that at a later date, and age, perhaps the vibrations would come in handy. I don't know and won't really risk that.
I'm sure that for most babies, this vibration might be a blessing, but I have witnessed this, so thought I should pass it along.
It is well made, and easy to bring into other rooms to keep her near. We like everything else about it.
Our baby just might be a little to sensitive to the vibrations? Maybe not! |

""home run" present for a three month old" | 2008-05-02 |

| I purchased the "Itsy Bitsy Bouncer" for my grandson who just turned three months old. It is not easy to recognize that a three month old really really loves his present, but let me tell you, there is no question about how happy he is when he is in the this. The seat is soft and comfortable for someone his age, the spiders are all smiles, and they move. He seems to enjoy the music, and he clearly enjoys the fact that it vibrates. My daughter has many pictures of him smiling, taken in the bouncer. She says he will "talk" to the spiders for long periods of time. He is just contented and happy in this clever, well designed toy. Whoever imagined this knows what babies enjoy most! |

| My son loves his Rainforest bouncer. It keeps him entertained for a long period of time. The bouncer has the option to let the sound run for several minutes or to react to him hitting the toys. The vibrate option calms him when he is fussy and he likes to sleep in it. |

"Bouncy Seat" | 2008-04-07 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1RP7FSL1KKDEX |
I babysit for my baby neice and I had borrowed a different bouncy seat but she didn't like sitting in it. I got this one and she loves it....she loves watching the water and reaching for the fish and will sit in there for a good long while making it possible for me to do a bit of chores while her seat entertains her. I LOVE IT!!! She appears to be quiet comfortable in her seat and I like the way it is decorated so it can be used whether you have a boy or girl. It was very easy to put together also and that's always a good thing.

| I haven't used the bouncer yet as my son isn't here yet. But I have set it up anyway. The bouncer is very cute especially the toy bar.the pattern is so stimulating to adults as well as babies. I have bought all the matching gear in this paticular pattern because of it. Not to mention the numerous features on their other products. All in all I would definately buy this product again. |

"Bouncy Seat Review....Great product until about 6 months!" | 2008-03-18 |
| - Reviewed By User: A3PL0QOSJMBGRS |
| We received this bouncer as a gift at our shower! We have used it since day 1. He wasn't interested in the toys at first but at about 2 1/2 months he really used it. He loved watching the waterfall, and especially the frog! We took the toy bar off at 4 1/2 months because he started crunching forward in it because he didn't want to be reclined anymore! He was 5 & 1/2 months when he decided he REALLY wanted to sit up and flipped it over! Thankfully my husband was there to catch it! We have moved to a Fisher Price Convertible Seat now but I really enjoyed the Rainforest Bouncy. My son is 6 month & 20 pounds so he really outgrew it fast! I will definitely use it for baby number 2! |
