Baby Product Review: Bouncy Seat

“This bouncy seat is good.” – Me

Ingenuity InLighten Twinkle Tails Vibrating Infant Baby Bouncer with Lightning Toy Bar and Pillow

This is a product review for a baby bouncy seat that has worked out well for us. I’m not getting paid for this review, but I still want to share my opinion on this and maybe it will be helpful for somebody out there.

The bouncy seat we have is available at Wal-Mart and Amazon (probably other retailers too), for a frankly outrageous price, which of course varies depending on your browsing history and whatever the heck else.

But, we found ours on Craigslist.

Yay! Features

βœ… Feels sturdy

βœ… Adjustable seat (so baby can sit up more as he/she gets older)

βœ… Has music and lights feature

βœ… Cover is washable!!!

βœ… Has a little harness (I’m blanking on what these are called), so the baby can be strapped in. This is becoming more important for us as our daughter is growing and now attempting to wiggle herself out of the seat.

βœ…Lightweight. We take it to restaurants, the beach, wherever, and it’s not too cumbersome.

βœ… Cute little hanging toys. As our daughter is getting older, she is getting more interested in these.

Meh! Features

❌ The bunny β€œpillow” is cute, but ultimately not really useful and I don’t know what to do with it. In theory, I guess it could catch spills and be washed without having to wash the whole cover, but it doesn’t secure to anything and flops around.

Note: I used my daughter’s toy bunny in some of these pictures, which I now realize is going to be confusing for this meh! feature. The bunny “pillow” I’m talking about can be seen in the product pictures available online at Wal-Mart or Amazon.

❌ The little canopy comes off easily, so most of the time we just leave it off. It would also be great if the canopy was wider, so that it would be more useful in the sun.

❌ Every time I wash the cover, the tag with warnings and care instructions fades a little more. This is minor, but kind of annoying since any third or fourth hand users might want that info.

PSA for pet parents: cats and puppies LOVE this seat. I don’t know what you want to do with that information, but if I knew that before I had a baby, maybe I would have gotten a bouncy seat for my cats instead of a useless pet bed. πŸ˜‚

My kitty baby Max will model chilling in the chair for you, since I don’t want to include pictures of my baby girl’s face online.
