| Versatile Design Lets Your Baby Rest, Play, and Bounce
The Happy Giraffe Bouncer provides your baby with a safe, comfortable place to rest, play, and enjoy the pleasures of physical movement. A fun-filled toy bar keeps your baby entertained with three playful friends, two fun tunes, animal sounds, activities to explore, and rattles, jingles and bells galore to keep the party hoppin'. While strapped in the seat, your baby can kick his legs and bounce up and down, strengthening his leg muscles in preparation for standing and walking. Colors and Sounds Stimulate Your Baby's Senses
With its bright graphics, friendly faces, music, and sounds, the Happy Giraffe Bouncer encourages the healthy development of your baby's visual and auditory skills. At the same time, the design of the toy invites your baby to reach, grasp, bat, and tug, enhancing eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills. Encourages Independent, Exploratory Play
The Happy Giraffe Bouncer inspires your baby to initiate play and interaction on her own, which helps introduce her to the concept of cause and effect. Your baby can pull the lion ring to start the music, bat at the colorful plush hippo, monkey, and lion hanging from above, and hear four sounds when she pulls on the lion's string (one meow, one growl, and two songs). Designed to Promote Comfort and Security for Your Baby
Versatile enough to be a play spot or a rest spot, the Happy Giraffe Bouncer can help amuse your baby when she's ready for some fun, help wind her down after a busy day, or help her drift off into dreamland. Its soft, cushy seat--complete with charming felt mane and cute giraffe ears--supports your baby and encourages relaxation, while its three-point restraint and non-skid feet keep your baby safely in place. To promote rest or sleep, simply remove the toy bar and turn on the calming vibrations. Easy, Safe Use Provides Peace of Mind for Parents
As delightful as the Happy Giraffe Bouncer is for babies, it's also chock full of perks to please moms and dads. The lightweight removable toy bar makes for easy and immediate access to your baby, and the seat pad is machine washable for quick cleanup and sanitization. This bouncer also provides you with a safe, pleasant place to put your baby when you're cooking, cleaning, or taking a moment to relax. Safety and Developmental Guidelines

 Truly useful baby gear July 18, 2010
Amy (Nashville, TN)
My son LOVES this. He's six months old now, and has used it since we brought it home from the hospital. As a movement-loving baby, he thrives in this thing, and sat in it constantly as a newborn (when he wasn't being held) so he could look at us and his mobile. We even changed his diapers in it, since his reflux made him lose much of his lunch if we laid him on his back for a diaper change right after a feeding. Now that he's older, my son can very effectively bounce himself by waving around his foot, and the seat never fails to put him in good spirits. He enjoys the toy bar, too, and I'm sure we could hang other toys on it if he gets tired of the three rings/animals. And -- very importantly -- it washes so, so well. It always comes out of the dryer (after only a brief spin) looking good as new, and the fabric has never stained. I wish all our baby stuff washed up like this seat.
We have friends with babies who have different bouncy seats, and my husband and I are so glad we have this one. It's a little deeper than the others we've seen, with higher sides, so our son seems (to us) to be more secure. The seat is positioned deeply enough that he's able to really move his legs, which isn't the case with others we've tried. The metal base is a little wider than the seat, with rubber corners, so the whole thing is very stable -- again, more so than others we've seen. The weight balance makes us more comfortable picking up the seat with our son in it than we do with other bouncers. The safety restraint is excellent.
And, most importantly, my son can really make himself BOUNCE in this thing!! :o)
daughter LOVES it! June 11, 2010
Dana & Joseph
Our 3 mo old daughter LOVES this bouncer. we've used it since the day we brought her home from the hospital. Shes not crazy about the toy bar but it allows us to keep her near me when i cook or clean. I wish it was a little bigger so she could use it longer :)
 Perfect from Birth-3mos...at least. June 3, 2010
Jarucia Jaycox Nirula (Seattle, WA, USA)
This was a gift from my registry and I really got a lot of use out of it.
My little one wasn't keen on the vibrating option or the hanging toys and never napped in it like others report, but he loved the supported angle at which he could sit during his first 3 months.
He was always by my feet in this chair watching me as I cooked, typed, cleaned, dried my hair, whatever.
Once he reached about 23.5 inches (he was 21 at birth), his feet started hitting on the base bar. I rolled a burp diaper up under his toush and was able to let him use it through about 24.5inches.
He's now 19weeks and a hair over 25inches and we only really use it to stage his bath towels for whoever is pulling him from the bath. It's not practical for general use anymore because he hits his feet too hard on the base.
All that said, we really got a lot of use out of this and just about every other mom I've met who has one also sang its praises.
But bouncy chairs are like swings are like car seats are like any other baby holding contraption: some babies love them some babies hate them. My little man hated the swing and fusses with the car seat. Go figure.
great bouncer, wish it "bounced" on its own! April 12, 2010
A. Masalehdan
So, my son is now 4.5 mos. old and bounces himself in this bouncer, however, when he was 2-3 months old we had to bounce it for him using our foot. really, it is a great product (i got it as a shower gift) and it has really stood the test o' baby. we've replaced the battery 3 times (he is now 4.5 mos old) and really, it's only one batter so no big deal. the vibration gets weak over time as the battery starts to die...therefore that calming effect seems to dwindle with the life o' the battery. easy to clean, even when poop explodes into it!
Baby loves it, small design flaw March 22, 2010
kmw229 (Right Here!)
We received this as a gift for our baby, and she has loved it ever since I put her in it at about 1.5 months. It's been fun to watch her figure out that the bouncer moves when she moves, and more recently that she can make the toys rattle when she bats at or grabs onto them. She is big for her age (4 months) and still fits comfortably in it.
Pros: This item is easy to put together and take apart for transporting and it is lightweight, making it very portable. It's also pretty sturdy and has a "harness" strap so I feel comfortable leaving the baby in it. We set it down wherever we are and it usually occupies the little one for 20-30 min, or maybe more if she chooses to take a nap in it. The toy bar is removable so you can use it like a little seat if you want. There is also a vibrating function, though I have not used this personally. The biggest pro is that our baby seems to love it, and it is one of the more reasonably priced bouncers with all of the basic functions.
Cons: The base is made of metal rods that curve around, but the problem is that they are wider than the bouncer itself (in the photo it's where the green rubber covers the white metal rods) so we, and anyone else who visits, are constantly tripping over the bouncer if we're not careful. The worst is when we get the metal part caught between our toes and then trip - I honestly thought I broke my toes a few times... ouch! It seems that a solid base design or at least some panels to cover the sides would be much safer since I'm not about to put this on an elevated surface to avoid tripping over it. Another small con is that the middle ring plays sounds when you pull on it, but one of the four sound cycles is a little useless, and sounds kind of like very low growling (other sounds include a "meow", and 2 MIDI-sounding tunes). Not a big deal, but I could do without it personally.
Overall I would recommend this bouncer over some of the pricier models unless you are pressed for space and can't put it somewhere where it won't be a safety hazard!
