Consumer Critique: #Infantino Bouncer

I was selected to be part of the Infantino Test Drive panel through Mom Central. I'll be reviewing the Fold & Go Bouncer in this post.


My toddler obviously has the right idea for what goes in the bouncer. She clearly doesn't know that only one baby goes in there at a time.

This bouncer was, sadly, short-lived in our house - not because of the quality, but because I have an unusually large baby for her age. She was at the top of the weight limit when we got it,  and she's strong, so she managed to pull the toy bar out of the socket, and also roll over and try to crawl out within the first week (in spite of being buckled). But babies that are that mobile aren't supposed to be in bouncers anyway, so it's not the bouncer's fault.

She did like it when she was in it. There are several features, including music, vibration, and nature sounds. Quite honestly, I thought the nature sounds were not really nature-sounding - until I put my head where hers would be.  Then they actually are very soothing, white-noise sounds. The melodies weren't annoying like on some bouncers I've seen. It also had a much more stable base than other bouncers. Plus, the toy bar pulled out easily, so there's no danger of someone trying to lift the bouncer with the baby in it by the handle. It folds up very easily, too. No real drawbacks that I could think of! There's even a head piece for extra support.
