I bought this because none of the other bouncers seemed to 'cradle' a newborn. The little lamb bouncer is almost identical to this in appearance and comfort but does not bounce - it's stationary. This is the best of both worlds because it is very cozy for a new baby yet has the ability to actually bounce (you have to use your hand to make it bounce - it's not automatic). Also, while both the little lamb bouncer and this bouncer have a vibrate feature, the little lamb shuts off after 10 minutes. This bouncer's vibrate stays on until you turn it off. My daughter loves to be bounced on a yoga ball and it was killing my back and I can bounce this aggressively enough where it simulates me bouncing her on the ball.

My 8 week old loves his bouncy chair and has since day one! It cradles him well as if I were still holding him and is nice and sturdy. The assembly was easy and took only about 30 minutes. We took off the birdie mobile because it was getting in the way. It's simple to remove and put back on though so maybe as he gets older we will put it back on and possibly hang other toys from it too!

The reasons for the 4 instead of the 5 stars are as follows:

1.) It is a bit bulkier than other bouncy seats and the legs stick out farther than the basket of the seat, so we have tripped over the legs multiple times. It's hard to judge where the legs are when carrying baby!!

2.) It goes through batteries quickly. We are on our third set of batteries in 8 weeks. Since he slept in the chair through the night for the first 5 or so weeks, it would be better if the chair turned off completely when the music and vibrate features are over, instead of having to have...

I decided early on in my pregnancy that I was going to spend more than average on a bouncer and while the price may be quite a bit higher than other bouncers it is completely worth it. Being a mom in college I NEED something that will keep my son calm while I finish homework, and this is it. The vibration seems to be very soothing, I don't find the music or bird sounds very soothing because I just don't think the volume goes up loud enough but I don't need those things anyways :) The vibrations and the toys are enough to keep baby entertained. It also looks to be very comfortable, it is a really soft plush material and the insert really cushions him. The bouncer is completely adorable and looks great! I would highly recommend this bouncer.
