This boucy seat saved me many headaches- and let me eat! My son was not an easy baby and didn;t like being put down much. But he loved his bouncy seat and would let me eat and take a shower while he played in it. Sometimes when he was real little he would snooze in it, but he mostly would look up at the snail, frog and other toy hanging. When we went shopping for a bouncy seat I was amazed at how expensive some were- they all served the same purpose! This on was cheap and worked great! We never had to replace the batteries even thought I'd forget and leave it running for HOURS after I took him out of it! I liked that I could remove the toys and talk to him and interact with him without them hanging in my face. My husband said it was a tripping hazard, and would trip on the legs all the time- but I never did. Maybe it's more about being aware of it? Overall, we thought it served it's purpose perfectly!

I am always up and down around the house and have come to notice that my son loves to see where I'm at.  I really don't carry him that much because I want for him to be independent and not needy.  I got him this bouncer simply because it looked nice and was a pretty good price. Now this bouncer has become a neccesity around this house.  I recently went back to work and coincedently my husband was put on a short term disability so he stays at home to care for my 4 month old son.  Since I got him used to being on the bouncer watching what I do while I am around the house my husband has found it useful so he can get things done also. The only problem is that now he loves it so much that on nights he can't sleep it is plain and simply because he would rather sleep there than in his crib.  I have to put him on the floor next to our bed to sleep rather than in his crib.  Other than that I like that it is easy to take off the fabric to wash when we have the occasional spitup or blowout.  I totally recommend all those new parents to get one of these.  You'll see for yourself what a life saver it is!

I received the **Fisher-Price Hoppy Days Bouncer** as a shower gift from my registry.  I had chosen this particular model because it was simple, compact and neutral for use with another baby.  I never thoughts the toys on The **Fisher-Price Hoppy Days Bouncer** were very exciting, but my daughter loved them almost from the beginning.  She loved to bat at them and when she got old enough to pull on them she took them off and played with them loose.  The musical frog was easy for her to turn on.  The hanging snail and turtle were her first friends. My daughter (born 7lbs.) fit this bouncer perfectly, she was physically outgrowing the seat at the same time that she surpassed development milestones that made any bouncer seat use impractical. My husband and I are both leery of any toys or baby gear that require batteries, but the musical frog never lost his juice over 6 months of use and the vibration batteries only needed to be changed two or three times.  This **Fisher-Price Hoppy Days Bouncer** allowed me to take my daughter allover the house and get chores done while keeping her safe and occupied.  I was able to keep her in the bathroom while I showered, in the basement while I switched laundry and even baked close to my normal load of Christmas cookies with her in the kitchen enjoying her **Fisher-Price Hoppy Days Bouncer. ** On more than one occasion, my husband has remarked that it was the best purchase of all the baby gear that we have.****

This is a great bouncer for a boy or a girl. The frog theme is so cute. The vibration is so subtle that it is soothing rather than jarring. My daughter really enjoyed this bouncer-she especially loved the little snail that hangs from the top! This was a perfect place to put her before she was mobile so that I could grab a quick shower or do some chores. She would occasionally nap in this seat. I highly recommend this bouncer for all babies!

This bouncer is a great buy! It has all of the great qualities of the other well-made bouncers on the market but for 2/3rds of the cost! The first thing that I like about this seat is that it actually BOUNCES! Beware: Not all bouncer seats have the ability to bounce up and down. To me, that was a deal-breaker for many of the other seats on the market. Another great quality about this bouncer is the fact that the seat material is machine-washable and easy to take off. This is key when you have a baby who spits up frequently. I also enjoy the fact that the yellow head pillow is attached by velcro and can easily be removed. This is important to me, because I often take photos of my baby when she's in the chair, and the bright yellow pillow is somewhat gaudy. One problem that I have with this bouncer is that its legs stick out very far, making it very easy to trip on. We quickly learned that we need to put the bouncer out of our way so that we don't trip on it. Being that this is the only negative characteristic, I would whole-heartedly recommend this bouncer.

We got this for a shower gift before our son was born. At first we were going to return it for a better one but decided that we would keep it. The best choice we could have made. He loved being in this bouncer and fell asleep everytime. The vibration motion is wonderful and the toys are removable which is great just in case you don't want them around your little one. It helped mommy and daddy get stuff done around the house. The pattern is great for any gender.

We are really happy with our Fisher-Price Hoppy Days Bouncer.  It was easy to assemble and has been a favorite accessory from the time our son was only about a week old.  He enjoys sitting on the little bit of an incline, and the vibration is great at soothing and keeping him calm. When he was very young, I found it easier to get him in and out without the accessory bar on top, since he was too little to grab at or even notice the little toys hanging, so we removed it until he got a little bigger.  It's easy to snap off and on, and the battery in the frog that plays music has actually outlasted the battery in the vibration device. My favorite part of the Fisher-Price Hoppy Days Bouncer is that it's so lightweight and easy to transport.  I carry it up and down the stairs and from room to room really easily.  Especially after having a c-section, having something lightweight and easy to transport is a must, and we found the perfect match with this!

We received this bouncer from our baby registry.  It came in a box and required assembly.  I didn't mind though.  I put it together myself and it took me maybe thirty minutes to put it together from start to finish.  I thought the directions were very straightforward and easy to follow.  The result was a very sturdy, cute little bouncer.  My dad has a thing about frogs, so we really like that the bouncer had little frogs on it.  I think the baby will love bouncing around in it once he is big enough too.  It had all the features I wanted in a bouncer.  It vibrates and plays music in addition to just being a regular bouncer.  The colors were bright and cheerful.  You really can't go wrong with this bouncer.  We got it from Toy R Us and I thought the price was reasonable for a new bouncer.  Some of them are crazy expensive, but this one was a middle of the road price, but you got a great product for the price!

My baby daughter loved this product and used it for several months. It is a product I loved because I could leave her in it for hours and she would be happily entertained and happy in it. The cloth on the swing can also be easily cleaned and maintained so even if a mess was caused there were no worries. I have also taken this to hotel rooms on trips and to friend's houses for visits since my daughter loved it so much. It was also not very expensive so I made it a point to recommend to my friends to use and have also gifted this at several baby showers. Also the fabric provided with this was soft and comfortable for my daughter to spend time in. The little toys that came in were also attractive to my daughter and safe to play with. The best part was also the little vibration unit that was soothing and relaxing. Before long, my daughter could operate the virations on her own...she loved it all through her infancy.

The Fischer-Price Hoppy Days Bouncer has lasted me four years in daycare and it is still going strong.  I love that it only takes one D battery and lasts long.  It has great ease in changing the battery without tools, but also I don't have to worry about the battery falling out or a child figuring out hope to open it.  I frequently use this bouncy seat as a substitute for a high chair when young infants are first learning to eat very thin cereals.  Many moms start food at a young age (3 months) when their children can't sit without more support.  The angle of the seat is just right for feeding a younger baby.
