Editorial Review

Baby spent nine months floating around in her/his own "aquarium," listening to the deep-sea sounds of Mommy’s tummy--so why wouldn’t she love to tune in to the gurgles and splashes of this Aquarium Bouncer? The lightweight bouncy seat features an ocean-themed fabric seat with harness restraint (machine washable), calming vibrations, a baby- (or parent-) activated toy bar, and a pretend tank filled with swimming fish, bubbles, colored lights, and music. Infants can bat at fish and seahorse to activate music, lights, and sounds (and stimulate sensory development, by the way). Four selections of music and sounds (with volume control) allow ocean waves, a babbling brook, summer rain, or lullabies to wash over Baby. The removable toy bar features brightly colored toys with spinners, teethers, and textures to stimulate baby’s sight and touch. Baby’s going to be a veritable genius before s/he is through with this seat! Discontinue use when baby reaches 25 pounds or can sit upright unassisted. Four D batteries required (not included). Phillips head screwdriver needed for assembly (also not included). --Emilie Coulter ... Read more

A great buy!
We wanted a highchair that "stuck out" and that invited my son to eat. We liked the idea of a toy before meals, just a way to keep him from falling asleep before we fed him! (which he does when I am preparing a bottle!)

Hes only 5 months but already I know this chairs a keeper. It reqlines enough for if he does fall asleep (which he WONT do at night, so basically wherever he does thats where he stays!!! Hes a lightsleeper) we can just reqline him back (which has happened at meal times, we have been getting him used to this chair and he has fallen asleep). It adjusts to different table heights, we like having him with us at the table most of the time, but if we dont want him right up close we have that option too. The cover is vinyl, easy to wipe down and also goes into the wash no problem... The fabric colors are all dark, this hides stains more and the plastic is white which is easily cleaned anyway. It has easy to use wheels so we can bring him all over the kitchen, and I can put the breaks on or off with my foot. The seat is very comfortable and plush. There are a few "frills" but its actually not too bad (see the Link-a-doos!) and there arent many crevaces for run-away food. The tray is a one-handed release and its not too heavy to hold with one hand. Its easy to put on and take off and I am never fighting with it. The snap on trays are not going to be used proabbly until he starts actual food (hes just on bottles and baby cereal now!) but those may eventually be our "plates" as they fit in the dishwasher easier than the large tray fits in the sink. Theres a five-point harness to keep him in the seat and to insure saftey even without the tray. The tray is not too far away nor too close, perfect for baby.

I love this chair, its so easy to use and I doubt I will ever give it up... My son also adores his "fishy chair"...

Great High Chair
This high chair features everything that is needed in a high chair and a few fun toys for your child also.I love that the tray is dishwasher safe.The straps are dark blue, so no more of the easily stained straps.(Hated that about my last high chair.)For the price and the features, this is a great choice.No need to spend close to $200 on the fancy European brand high chairs.

Life Saver
I bought this highchair for my daughter when she was 3 months old. I started putting her in it so that I could cook dinner and we could eat as a family again. She did great! Of course at first she needed help with the toys but it didn't take long for her to figure it out. Now she has started eating in it and it cleans up nice. I wouldn't change a thing about it.
I have several of the Aquarium items and I have not been disapointed yet. I would reccomened any of the Aquarium items to anyone.

Great Great chair!
Wow, this chair must be popular with twins! I too have twins, 21 month old twin boys. WE have had this chair since they were about 9 months.

Before we had this chair we had the harmony chair in colby. It was very cute, but not at all funtional and it actually broke when my niece (2 year old, average weight/heirght) sat in it!!! So I imediatly went out to BRU to get a new one.

I bought this chair because it was EXTREMELY sturdy. I also liked the 5pt. harness to keep my master of disasters in place. The seat cover was very soft, and my boys seemed comfortable in the store. My sons were very excited about the color, that means very excited for meal time! The tray and the heights adjusted, and it wasnt too expensive.

Once I got this chair home I really found out how great it was! My small boys could fit in it snugly, (though they are small at 32nd percentile)yet they can fit in it now at about one year later! The tray is very easy to one-handedly take off and put back on, and its not too heavy or cumbersome. The dishwasher insert is incredible, and we love it soo much, and use it all the time. The seat cover is machine washable, and also very easy to wipe down because its vinyl. The tray adjusting, and the height adjusts make it extrememly easy to bring up to the table, since now my toddlers are obbsesed with doing everything as a "big boy". The wheels are really easy to lock, or unlock and I can push it around very very easily, which is much more important than I thought. Its also not too heavy if I have to lift it.

What I dont like is the color, its just too bright and I really liked the old colby color, but this is a very minor issue. The chair is also HUGE, I mean its even enourmous when folding, but we do have a large kitchen. Like some of the previous reviewers I really dont like that huge toy, its just not apropriate for meal time, though our boys love to play with it on the floor, and we have never introduced them to it at meal time so they never whine for it, yet again unlike a previous reviewer. I too ordered more trays, and fisher-price was very very nice and I had no problems, I believe that maybe the reviewer who had a bad experience was just worked up and made it worse with her adttitude (although I am NOT discrediting her account nor do I have any spite towards her, its just I believe she was very upset as it is and may have taken the advice in a bad way). THe tethered toys are also not really neccesary, but ohh well.

Other than those few, very minor and optional, cons this chair is great. I love it and am really resenting the day my boys grow out of it.

Awesome highchair!
This chair is great!I got 2 for my twin girls and couldn't be happier.There are several height settings so I can sit on a stool, a dining room chair or on the floor and still be comfortable.The tray is easy to attach and remove.The removable tray fits nicely into the dishwasher and makes clean up a breeze.The adjustable reclining back makes it comfortable for my little ones to sit back a bit but will be nice for them to sit up straight as they get older.The color is a bit bright but we can live with that in order to have the convenience, safety and reliability.Also, the base is a bit bulky but it folds up so you can set in a corner or against a wall.
I originally had the Graco Harmony and went to put it together to find broken parts.Then I read the online reviews to find many, many negatives about it.
I'd definitely recommend this to anyone (and have already to many family and friends)! ... Read more

Nice, but really only for newborns or very small babies?
I have to say, just looking at the Baby Papasan makes you feel cozy and I couldn't wait to get one in my house. My son spent most of his time (even sleeping) in his bouncy seat and we thought that the Papasan would be more comfortable and secure for him for the long stretches he spent in it. He is not an off-the-charts baby in height or weight but at only 2 months (when I bought this) his legs were already hanging over the bottom edges by a couple of inches - it seems like the placement of the safety belt and the pitch of the seat are off. I didn't feel comfortable having him in it for more than a few weeks after I bought it (HE didn't even look comfortable)and Fisher Price says the weight limit is 25 lbs!! I would have taken it back had I not already thrown out the box.

So far, so good
So far, this chair has been the only thing to soothe my son. He was a 4 lb. preemie and has been home for a month. Since then he has developed reflux and has been gassy, refusing to sleep in his cradle or crib. He would only sleep in his car seat but looked slumped and uncomfortable surrounded by buckles. This seat nestles him in and he looks so comfortable. He loves the vibrating--it puts him right out! In addition, the fabric part comes off easily and holds up well in the wash. If you ask me, $50 is a small price to pay to get your baby to sleep peacefully and to get some rest yourself. But do understand, this does not replace a bouncy seat as it does not bounce.

Cuddly but not fun
I received this for a shower gift. It is so cute, soft, and cuddly, and I had it all set up before my first son's birth. Every thing works just perfectly, and it was a breeze to set up. However, my son has enjoyed the Fisher Price Aquarium Bouncy Seat much more. Maybe my son just loves looking at the fish swim in front of him and the ability to make his seat bounce. This seat has just been a little too "calm" for my active baby!

Two Thumbs Up...
I originally had seen the papasan on the Target website, and was impressed by the looks of comfort, design, and the high remarks listed. I immediately decided to add it to my registry. Thank goodness I rec'vd this as a gift...my baby just loves it! When it is just myself at home and feeding time, she tends to get a bit cranky. I do not and will not have her in my arms while I am by a hot stove, so I will place her in the papasan while I make her bottle because it tends to soothe her until her formula is ready. She is less fussy, and you can immediately tell that with the combination of the ever-so-soft seating and vibrations, it is absolute heaven to her. I would recommend this item to anyone, but with like everything, every baby is unique and will take to products and toys differently.

Baby looks uncomfortable!
After reading the reviews, I registered for both the papasan and the kick and play. My son was a preemie, and at 4 1/2 lbs., I had expected this seat to be great based on the reviews. Unfortunately, he did not seem to care for this seat AT ALL. His head was pushed forward by the head rest, and there was no way to remove it or push it up, out of the way. I tried to put him in the seat off and on for over 3 months, as he grew to over 12 lbs. At no point did he tolerate the seat for more than 10 minutes. The music was a bit loud, the vibration seemed okay, but he had nothing else to entertain him and looked completely uncomfortable. The blanket was in the way and the bunny just blended in to the fabric, so I don't think he could even see it. He has enjoyed his kick and play to no end. I would recommend that over this seat any day, especially considering the price! ... Read more

Our twins love the jumparoo!!!
We purchased this almost a week ago for our 5 month old twin girls. I wanted it mainly to help strenghen the smaller twins legs and she didn't really get much entertainment from the Exersaucer and the FP Take Along Hop & Pop. She loves bouncing around! I did put a pillow on the floor since she couldn't yet reach even on the first setting. She'll stay in it for close to an hour. They both get excited when they activate the music and lights. The girls are both under 11 pounds, so we'll get plenty of use out of this!!!

I'm so glad someone came up with a jumper that didn't require a doorway!!! I remember with my older children, I was always so afraid the Johnny Jump-up would fail or the molding would come down.

This has by far been the easiest product to put together!

We looked and we looked...
for a jumper that did not require placement in a doorway. We have only two small doorways (bedroom) to hang one in. We were afraid she might actually bump herself hanging there. We decided on the Jumperoo after a few days of research.

At first, we were leary of purchasing another Fisher Price product considering the difficulty of assembling the Cozy Fit Infant Highchair. However, when we got this home, it was assembled in less than 15 minutes without the instructions. Our six month old 15 pound daughter loves this Jumperoo. She hops, moves and bounces with nothing but smiles and delightful giggles. She is an absolute joy to watch in it also.

There are two volume control settings for music: high and low. The high setting is not obnoxious. There are also two mode settings. You can set the Jumperoo to play music when the baby jumps and moves, or you can set it to play only when the button is pushed. While the music plays, there are two lights that flash back and forth. It is a real eye catcher for our little one.

The toys are easily accessible to our daughter's reach while sitting in the Jumperoo. The Lights and Sounds Toy does come off easily and there is a small tray underneath that could hold other favorite toys. Another wonderful feature was the four height adjustments enabling the Jumperoo to grow with our daughter. Seat depth is about 12 inches so she is well protected and stabilized on all sides. Additionally, the seat does come off easily for washing.

We have not had any problems with the Jumperoo. It is sturdy and folds up nicely so you can tuck it away. It unfolds just as easily, but is rather roomy. For the many smiles given to all of us, the Jumperoo was well worth the investment. We wouldn't change any of it.

The Best Baby Toy
Bought the Jumperoo for my son when he was 4 months because he loved standing on our lap and trying to jump. As soon as we put him in it he loved it. Played with the toys right away and loves being able to jump on his own. He is now 7 1/2 months and there isn't a day that goes by that he's not in it! The best money ever spent on a baby toy. We've used this toy the most out of anything. If your baby loves to be active and bounce around...this is the toy for you!

Worth every penny!!
We bought this for my daughter when she was 6 months old, after seeing at a baby shower. She is now 9 months. It is worth every penny. She jumps in it every day and loves it. I have even caught her falling asleep while she was jumping, she didn't want to get out. This is definitely a toy worth buying. We had gotten a walker as a shower gift and I returned it. She has one at the babysitters and didn't like it, she enjoy this much more!!

Great product.
I got this as a baby shower gift. And it is a wonderful thing. I started to use it when my daughter was 4 months. She just loves this thing. Of course she can only sit in it for 15 mins because she gets tired of it. This is a great buy/gift for the baby. My baby gets so excited in it, she bounces and screams in it. The first time we put her in there she was soo happy - I couldn't stop laughing and neither could she!!! ... Read more

Editorial Review

There are two distinguishing benefits of this baby monitor set that make it a good investment: its "decibel" display, which visually shows sounds that may otherwise go unnoticed, and an extra, portable receiver, for monitoring as one runs about the house. Everything else about the set adds to its convenience and durability, but is found in other models. Still, they are good to have: two channels only, for less interference and clearer sound; AC and battery power (requires 6, AA batteries); and an anti-breakage design, such as short, flexible antennae and a thick plastic frame.

Try changing the channel if you get static
When I first got this item, I was really frustrated with it, because the static was terrible! It was keeping me up at night just to hear the terrible static. Then I started hearing other voices on it, so I think my neighbor has one and it was picking up their conversations. So I switched it to the other channel, and now it works perfectly! The sound is crystal clear (only gets a little staticy if you turn it up REALLY loud). It picks up my baby's every grunt and cry. Sometimes it works too well, because she grunts a lot in her sleep, and I hear every one!

I also really like the lights feature, because I can see how "intense" my baby's cry is. When I wake up out of a dead sleep at 2:00 a.m., sometimes it's hard to judge if my baby is really crying for me, or if she's just kind of whimpering in her sleep. When those 4 bars of lights light up, I know I better get myself in there! The lights are also nice, because if my baby's napping and I just want some quiet time to read a book, I can turn the sound all the way down, and the lights catch my attention right away when she really starts crying.

This is a great monitor for the price! I was a little weary about buying an electronic gadget made by Fisher-Price, but it's turned out to be a great investment.

The static is terrible!
This monitor does the job...I can even hear my baby breathing if I turn it up loud enough. It's cheap and works. But, my two major complaints are that 1. the batteries die in a matter of a couple hours. All the devices can be plugged in, but that isn't the most convenient option all the time. And, 2. the static it gives off is incredibly annoying. Not so much static if the devices are being used with battery power, but as soon as you plug them in, forget it. We've tried different channels, different locations in the house (away from cordless phones, microwaves, anything plugged in) and nothing makes is better. We've lived with it for 10 months now and my husband is forcing to buy another one, no matter what it costs. Just buy another brand!

GOOD BUT NOT GREAT
The sounds and lights part work pretty good, although there are times when there's more static than sound coming from it. The only complaint I have is that the dial is not made for real fingers. It's as if they designed it for the babies to turn on and off themselves. But we wouldn't be able to have even 3 good hours of sleep if it weren't for these monitors. I wished I shopped around more.

Great Monitor
I have this monitor in my 2 year old daughters room ...I love it ...you can turn down the volume and still see the bars moving if your child is crying ....or u can have the volume on and i can hear a pin drop in that room..I dont know why a few people said it was horrible ...i have never gotten an ounce of static out of it and they probably just got a defective one ...i have a 4 month old and someone bought me a safety first monitor and i am gonna return it and use the credit to buy this same monitor ...its hard to find good products and i intend on staying with this one that i trust ...Hope this helps !!

Love the lights!
I have used this product for several months now and love it! The monitors are very sensitive so I never have to worry about not being able to hear what is going on in my baby's room, but I also have the wonderful option of turning the sound down and just watching the lighted face if I need to. The dual monitors are also a must as I keep one upstairs and downstairs. Overall, this has been a great product! ... Read more

Babies will enjoy this seat from their first months to their toddler years, thanks to its versatility in sizing. Infants can sit in comfort and look in fascination at the attractive colors on the included toy bar, which include black and whites as well as bright primaries to engage their developing eyes. Babies and toddlers (weighing up to 40 lbs.) alike will enjoy reaching and playing with several plush toys hanging from the padded toy bar, which parents can also use to carry the seat. During downtime, the reclining seat’s vibrations can sooth away cries and encourage a nap. Requires adult assembly and 1 "D" battery.--Diane Beall ... Read more

Great support for babies who want to sit up on their own!!!!
I love this rocker.My son is 6 months old and loves to sit up.However, he still needs a little support(He still likes to lean to the right).He leans so far forward that I am always afraid that the chair is going to tip over, but it has not yet tipped over.This shocks me when I think about it because he weighs 18.5 pounds and the rocker stands strong when he leans forward.This rocker allows him to sit up on his own (developing independence) when he is strapped in it.He loves the feeling of sitting up without having mommy supporting him.Also, I use the chair for feeding him, playing race car with him (just pushing around the chair on the floors), rocking him, and sun bathing (I cut the grass while he gets fresh air).He loves the toys that come with the chair because the toys are light and loud.I recommend this product to every mom.

What a Life Saver!!!
I am so glad I registered for this rocker! Our baby was born a month early and is only 1 week old/6 lbs. She screamed endlessly when we put her in her bassinet but went right to sleep in this rocker. With the kick stand in place the seat reclines far enough back for a baby with no neck control to lay down. When she has better neck muscle development we look forward to using the rocking feature.
I also really love the sturdy construction.My husband had a very easy time assembling this with nothing more than a screwdriver. This rocker really seems like it will grow with our baby into her toddler years. We highly recommend it.

Great for Infant to Toddler
My 4 wk old enjoys spending time in this rocker - asleep or awake.The toys keep his attention and the vibration helps calm him when nothing else seems to work.

It's great for toddlers too.When my sisters' kids come for visits this is one toy we don't have to chase them away from (unlike a traditional bouncy seat).We just pop off the toy bar and adjust the seat a bit and then they have a special seat also.

I'm very glad we got it.

Ouchy!
I bought an older version of this chair when my 6 year old was an infant.I was surprised to see that a major design flaw was still present after all these years.The little knobs that act as stops on the bottom of the legs when the chair is used as a rocker are dangerous!I have gotten huge black and blue spots on the tops of my feet at least 3 times from banging them on the chair stops.It hurts like the dickens!My son also did the same thing (the apple doesn't fall far from the tree). I like the fact that it grows with your child and most youngsters make a beeline for it when they visit.

Nothing special
We received this chair as a gift.My baby didn't like to lie back in it, and it seemed too large for her to sit up in it.We put a seat insert in and she liked it better then.The vibrating feature never calmed her--it seemed to annoy her.In the seated position, the toys are not easy to reach, and the musical cow faces away from the baby.We do use this chair every day for our baby to sit in the kitchen with us while we eat dinner, but even now at four months and 15+ pounds, we have to use a seat pad with it otherwise she sinks in too far.I like the concept of this chair, but seems to be a few design flaws.If I was buying myself, I'd look for a different chair. ...

A Little Disappointed
I went out and bought this booster seat for my 21 month old daughter. My 3 year old son has a booster seat as well which is a cheaper model (still being sold), and other than being a crumb trap which has to be taken apart to be cleaned it is very useful, it gets him up high so he can sit at the table with us and it allows me to strap him in so he can not get out during meal time. However this Healthy Care Booster Seat is almost worthless. It does not elevate my daughter up high enough to eat at the table (her height is in the 90%), so I have to use the tray. But unfortunately the tray is so small, I can not fit any of my daughters child size plastic plates on it, so I have to put her food on the tray provided, which she can take apart and throw. This chair is easier to clean, but not giving me anything I need.

You will love it, I promise!
I recently got rid of my very expensive Peg Perego high chair and replaced it with this. The high chair was impossible to clean and feeding time turned into a huge mess and left me with a major clean up job every time my 10 month old son ate. I don't know why I ever got a high chair to begin with. Just save yourself the hassle and get this booster instead. I can't think of anything bad to say about it!

The tray fits perfect in my dishwasher and comes out looking brand new after every wash. I love the fact that the tray has 3 different positions when attaching it to the seat; on the closest setting I can get it right up next to my son's chest so that any food he drops falls onto his BIB and not into his LAP (which is what happened with the high chair, I had to change his clothes after every feeding). There are no cracks or crevices for food to fall down into. I also love the fact that it folds up into a neat little square so that I can take it with me when we go to visit Grandma. It's lightweight and takes up much less space than a full size high chair. When not in use, I just slide it under the table so you can barely see it. I love the fact that there is no cushion or seat cover to wash. This booster seat wipes off so easily, I never spend more than a minute wiping it off and it looks brand new. I wish someone had told me about this product before I wasted money on a full size high chair!

Perfect for travel and restaurants
This is a wonderful booster seat. My son is now 14 mo. old, and we bought it when he was around 10 mo. old. I wish I would have gotten it sooner. It is great for eating out - no touching those restaurant highchairs/boosters with all those germs. Who knows how clean those things are? Also, it gives him a tray as opposed to many restaurant booster and high chairs. I can finally put his food down and not worry about what he is touching and trying to spray Lysol on everything. It's great for travel as well. People ask us all the time where we got this, and I tell them it's a baby "must have".

Love this chair
My baby is coming, but I have been baysitting for a friend with a 7 month old...so i use all my baby's things for him when he comes over...This chair is wonderful....It's very comfortable for him and very easy to clean for me. I love the simplicity of the product, yet the many ways you can use it!

Comfy, easy to clean, and convenient...
We got this for Grandma's house. Our big 7 month old loves it! He is comfortable sitting, and enjoys being at table level. I loved how you can pop the tray into the dishwasher. Next time we go visit, I'll just pop the whole thing into the dishwasher to get any dust off it and be sure it's clean. I think we will get one for home too, although we haven't yet. I'm feeling like I need to use the big highchair we got for now - since we did spend $$ on it. I wish I'd just skipped the big chair and gotten this. Oh - and it stores away easily too if you want to tuck it away when company comes or you entertain. Love this chair. ... Read more

Reliable and excellent quality
We've had a great experience with this monitor.

Pros:
1.The sound quality is crystal clear.It is extremely sensitive with no static at all.
2.The range is good- I can use it outside in the garden without a sacrifice in quality.The belt clip is helpful for such times.
3.The vibrate mode is great for when I'm doing something noisy, like vaccuuming.
4.The light readout is far more helpful than I had anticipated.It indicates the intensity of the sound on the other end with the number of lights.This is useful because if you routinely adjust the volume on the receiver as I do, it's hard to objectively assess what's going on in the other room based purely on the sound level.Also the visual feedback is useful for when you're doing something noisy that doesn't lend itself to wearing the receiver in vibrate mode-in my case that means showering or running on the treadmill.

Con:
1.The monitor does eat batteries (as most of them do).We generally leave it plugged in during overnights and just use the batteries when we carry the monitor during daytime naps.

I would definitely recommend this product.As with all monitors, however, keep your receipt until you've tried it out at home.Every location has its own issues with interference and a unit that works great in one place may be less effective for you.

A problem from the start
This monitor has been nothing but a problem from the day I brought the first set home.I'm now on my third set and my baby's only been in his own room for four months now.Both receivers in the first set made a constant, loud buzzing sound that started the second week of use.I tried both channels to no avail.I exchanged it for the second set.It worked okay for about six weeks.One of the receivers on this set started making a loud sound like an alarm clock that came on and off intermittenly no matter what channel it was on.I exchanged that for the third set.I had that one about two days before one of the receivers stopped working totally.Changing batteries did nothing.I'm now working with a hodge-podge of an old set a friend gave me with one receiver and the lone working receiver from the Fisher Price set.I refuse to exchange it again.Don't buy this model if you want peace of mind.

Dependable and clear...
This monitor has worked perfectly from the beginnning---there are 2 receivers with this one--which is great for upstairs and and downstairs. It's vibration mode is also great when you have guests over or when you are working in the yard and are worried you might not hear the baby if he wakes up. I can go across the street and visit neighbors while my husband naps inside--and it still works great so everyone is happy. We actually bought one with just one receiver---so the 2 receiver is a must have b/c you don't have to keep moving the receiver every where you go. There is also little or no static. Great monitor! ... Read more

best chair for your money!!!
I decided to purchase this chair after doing quite a bit of research online and in the stores.I found that it was not too fancy with toys that I didn't want or frilly covers.
Pros:
*easy to clean cover, also machine washable
*adjusts up and down seven levels to fit at practically any table
*has wheels so you don't have to pick it up to move it around
*folds easily for storage in the corner or closet
*gender neutral print
*dishwasher safe tray that fits most dinner plates
*tray is truly a one hand release
*also fits larger children such as my 36in tall 35lb child
*has a 5 point harness to help hold smaller children securely in seat
*very easy assembly and good instructions from manufacturer

Most of the other chairs I looked at were either short of features I find necessary or made poorly or overdecorated so that dinner time is more like play time.I'm on baby number three and this is the best seating purchase I've made.Worth every penny!!!

Perfect!
I too have twins (B/G) and they are almost 5 months old now! WE have used these chairs since they were about 4 WEEKS old, its great to give them their bottles and to be able to enjoy a meal at the table wiht the rest of my family (my husband and my 2 year old) I really really love this highchair.

When we were out searching for chairs, we wanted chairs that were small enough to keep two in our fairly large kitchen, and ones that were easy to clean. Our twins would be using them fora while, and only for eating, not sleeping, playing, watching t.v or relaxing for long periods of time, just eating. The other highchairs that could reqline, had dishwasher safe trays, had a one-handed big tray, 5 pt. restraint system, and a vinyl cover were too much and too expensive!

The aquriumn chair looked like a toy and was totally innapropriate for meal time (in our perspective) the colors were way to loud (as we think for most of that line) and the toy wasnt a neccessity for us.

This chair reqlines enough to comfortably feed our young twins, yet it sits up right enough to contain a toddler (tried it out with our two year old, but he has now transitioned to a booster). The vinyl cover is very easy to wipe clean, and also easy to throw in the wash once and a while. The seat is comfortable, but no need to sleep in the chair!!! The harness will be great when the twins start moving more, and they are very easily adjusted. The wheels are sturdy and easily lock with FEET (some other chairs made it so you would have to bend down and do it with your hands!). The adjustable tray distance made it easy to fit a two year old in it, or a tiny (13th percentile) infant. The adjustable hieghts will be nice when its time to move the tray to the table so the babies can eat with the family. The insert is nice to have, although we wont be using it for about another 2-3 months or so, but thats a feature we look foward to using. The tray is a one-handed release, we love this because it makes it super easy to take out one twin easily, or both!

The tethered toys werent really a neccesity, but they were nice, and our twins seem to enjoy them. I think that toys at the table are just a way to say every time is for playing, and we think otherwise. ****WE ARE NOT SAYING THAT THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE HIGHCHAIRS THAT DO HAVE THOSE ADDITIONAL FEATURES, WE JUST DIDNT WANT IT FOR OUR TWINS****

I think that this chair is durable, and very safe for the babies. It is small enough so it can be moved out of the way if needed, but its not something I would want to store in my closet or anything.

WE use these chairs everyday and plan to use them for atleast 2 more years or so. They are very easy to deal with and I grow to love them every day!

Easy and affordable!
When I was pregnant with my twin sons, I was looking for highchairs at about 8 months pregnant. I didnt want anything "too loud" or too expensive. I wanted smaller chairs that were easy to take care of. And when I saw this product I knew it was for me. The color is very light and it doesnt scream out for attention in my kitchen. When the boys were newborns it was very easy to feed them since of the one-handed reqline feature. The chair is also very easy to adjust, and we keep it so the tray rests on our table. I can easily take off the tray one handed, and thats really important when you have a squirmy baby! The tray is big enough to hold a fairly large plate, and the dishwasher insert is very convinent. The tethered toys are nice, my boys play with them sometimes. I like the 5pt. harness that keeps them from escaping, but yet it isnt too hard to pry them out of it. The wheels easily lock and its super fast and effortless to move our chairs from table to corner and back again. As far as the seat cover, it is machine washable, but I only do that once a week, and it doesnt get too dirty. It doesnt have soo much stuff on it, so the chair really isnt a food magnet like my friends claimed that their Aquarium chairs were. This chair is very lightweight and perfect for families with small kitchens (I dont have a small kitchen, I just have twins!). I couldnt see how anyone would want anything more than what this chiar offers and I would recomend it to any mom or dad, its really the best highchair for the money...

Awesome high chair!
This highchair is the best! It was very helpful when my daughter started holding her own bottle because it reclines just at the right angle, the seat pad is very easy to clean, and the removeable top part of the tray makes throwing it in the dishwasher a breeze! The seat moves up and down so we can position it at the dinner table (with out tray it comes right up to the table) and she can eat with us! I also love the shoulder straps that hold baby in place just as you are taking the tray off. This highcahir is the greatest! ... Read more

Great fun for my little one!
I bought this for my daughter when she was about five months old.She just loves it.It is educational, musical; it has everything.She is also able to practice walking a few steps and spinning around since this is both a stationary toy and one that allows them to move, all while remaining safe in one place.The Intellitainer has several different height adjustments within the seat which allows her to keep playing as she grows taller. I would definitely purchase this again!

newMNmom
I love this product!!My husband and I looked for a new stationary toy that my 4 month old could use.She loved to stand at and early age, and I wanted her to be able to play while she did this.This has been a great for her!At first her toes barely touched the ground, but now at 6 months, she can touch the ground and has a great time in it!The other review said her son had a hard time turning around.It is a little hard to turn in, but I can tell when she wants to see the other side, so I turn it forher.She can easily move back and forth in it though and I think it's been good for her to learn how to use her feet to move around.She loves the bells, and really starts dancing when the music plays.She also loves the mirror and the stationary toys.I agree it is big and not easy to move between rooms.But it is so worth it in the end.I would recommend this to anyone.

Fun for my little one
My 7 month old daughter loves the intelletainer, we got this when she was 5 months, it keeps her busy. She loves to play with the the plastic gears, the mirror/clock and the toys a lot. The only thing I didn't care for is its big and wide that it won't fit in between doors if you want to move it to another room.

Wonderful
We actually bought this entertainer when my son was only three months old, so we could have it ready when he was ready.I saw it in the store and was so impressed with everything it had on it, especially all the educational things!It was really easy to put together.My son was a lap-standing baby pretty early, and he would want to stand all the time, which, of course, it's hard to find the time for.I put him in this for the first time when he was just four months old, and he cried at first because his feet didn't reach the ground...so I just put a pillow underneath, and he loved it.At first he just liked to pull and chew on the bell, but now he does everything (he's not quite six months).He turns himself around, he plays with the clock/mirror...this keeps him busy for up to half an hour, sometimes a bit longer!I would definitely recommend this!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE
I am in love with this thing! It bought it about 4 months ago and my daughter loves it. At first, we had the exersaucer, there were not enough things on it for her to play with. So we got this on and it is great. She can hit the keys and they light up and sing the abc's. It has story telling, 123's, colors and alot of fun stuff. My daughter learns while she plays. It does take up alot of space, but worth every ince. Hard to move from room to room also. But I still give it an A+. ... Read more

This is a wonderful swing for any age!
We got this swing as a gift, and right away we were able to use it with our newborn!It's safe and easy to work.My child loves the music it plays and the flashing lights that can either be on when the music is playing or not!Sometimes I'll just put him in the swing with the music bar pulled back and he'll fall alsleep.This is a great place for a child to just sit and 'hang out'.

Best Swing Ever
We have four children and the oldest are twins that are 6 yrs old so I wanted to upgrade to a better swing. It was the best investment we ever made. My daughter who is now 8 weeks old loves her swing so much that its the only thing that seemed to make her happy. She refused to sleep in her bassinet or crib so she slept in her swing. I guess she liked how it was reclined and didn't like to lay flat. She still loves to take naps in her swing and for the mother who thinks the bar is too heavy and the bird startles the baby when you flip it over well just catch the bird when you flip it over. We have never had a problem with it startling our daughter and she spends alot of time in the swing. Its also so easy to put the baby in the seat which is very well padded with the bar flipped back. It has an adorable pattern and we have all of the Flutter Bye items. She just loves to look at the bird with the lights and the music and I would highly recommend this item to everyone.

Good Swing!
My 12 week old loves this swing. She stares intenetly at the swinging bird.She likes the lights, the music, and the toys that she can't yet reach.She spends upwards of three hours a day in the swing.Some kids just don't like swings no matter what toys are attached.Our first daughter was like that. We had a Graco swing with the little bears on top that always swing to the back. When this one came and loved to swing we realized we needed an upgrade. The swing is easy to put together and easy to use.

Cute Swing But Has Some Problems
This is a very cute swing and it plays some nice melodies and it has interesting lights and sounds from the top swivel bar.However, my son is afraid of the bird.At first I thought it was the bird staring down at him, but no matter which way I point the bird, my son is very skeptical!It may not be the bird but the general busy-ness of the swivel bar and the amount of toys and objects hanging off of it that bothers my son.

I first put my son in the swing when he was about 6 weeks old.He is now 16 weeks and he still will not stay in the swing for longer than 5 minutes.It doesn't matter if music or lights are on or off, or if the swing is on fast or slow, he does not like it.

The bird should detach from the swing.I don't believe this would pose a hazard because the bird is too high for a baby to reach when the baby is properly strapped in the swing.I also believe the swivel light tool bar should be made lighter in weight.It is difficult to put my son in the swing because it is tilted at an odd angle when the tool bar is flipped back.When I go to flip the tool bar foward all the toys swing and the bird snaps into place very loudly and startles my son every time.So I find myself trying to hold all the toys so they don't swing while trying to flip the music/light bar forward, and it is very difficult and cumbersome.

If I could make a swing purchase again, I would definately not get this swing, but one that had less activity and toys above my son.

BUY A DIFFERENT ONE!
My child loves this swing, However, I have had it for 4 months and I have had to call Fisherprice 3 different times to have them replace the music and lights bar.The wiring is horible to where it won't play. If you don't mind having to call to get a replacement part than this is your swing, because Fisherprice has no problem with sending you a new one. I should know, I am on my 4 new lights and music toy bar.I do like the swing, but I wish that it worked better. ... Read more

Buyer Beware
I love the two position swings and so does my son.However, I am not happy with this particular product.After a week, the mobile was no longer working.After 2 months, we are going through 4 D batteries every week!This swing just didn't last!!!If you like the two position swings... I would recommend paying a little extra to GET A BETTER ONE.

its really nice
i love the 2 swinging positions it has. its awesome thats why i go it. the animals on the mobile seem more or a decoration for the parent rather than the baby because all the baby see are the animals feet no big deal. my son loves the mirror on the mobile and always looks at it. it does swing a little fast, but you can just drape a blanket on the back ofit, or even over the baby and it slows down. my son likes that its fast though. its light enough so i can hold my son and move the swing to another point in the house. the seat can sit up or lay down a bit.. this is a really good buy.

Mobile Breaks.........
When I bought this swing was very excited.I loved the look, the cute animals on the mobile and the fact that it swings 2 different ways.BUT after only two days of use the mobile broke.Either way my son still loves the swing, but I didn't pay 80 bucks for a swing that only half works. Word to the wise save the box just in case you have to return it.

Good, not great
I bought this swing for my son, who is now eight weeks old.He loves it!I , however, am not so sure how I feel about it.It makes alot of clicking sounds while it is swinging, which isn't very helpful when you're trying to get a baby to sleep.It's not very loud, but I wouldn't recomend it if your little one is a light sleeper, like mine.I also noticed that it is a little unstable, unless you constantly check to make sure the legs are pulled all the way out.I do, however, love that you can swing the baby in two directions.That in itself may compensate for the other shortfalls.

Swings Great, but .....
My son is not even 3 months old yet and I am on my third swing.The swing is awesome and the fact that you can decide which way to swing it is a great feature.However, the reason I am on my 3rd swing is because the mobile keeps breaking down.My son loves to look at the mobile MOVE.Overall, if the mobile didn't contiuously break down I would rate it 5 stars, but it has been a pain to have to return it over and over. ...

Very nice swing, but...
I bought this swing for my son since we were traveling a bit and visiting family and friends. The size is great, and it travels well. My son really enjoys the linkadoos toys and it entertains him nicely. The only problem I have with this swing is the back support on the seat. As others have mentioned it's not really a supportive seat - for head or back. Although he hasn't fussed or "complained" he just doesn't look comfortable in the seat. His body sags into the seat. But I really liked the swing and the option of adding toys to it so I tough of a quick fix. We just put a piece of very thin board (like a really strong/stiff cardboard) in the back of the seat under the cushion. Now his back is straight and we just put one of those head support cushions in it for him. I really like the feature of adding the linkadoos toys and all in all it is a very nice swing for the price. I'm glad we bought it.

Nearly as good as full size swing
We replaced our full size swing with this particular model and are pleased with it. It is easy to move from room to room and we have not had any problems with the speed. The rubber grips on the bottom are useful for non-slip and the linkadoo rings on each side can be removed or even replaced with other linkadoo toys available for purchase. The swing away toy boar with mirror can be annoying if baby is not interested as it can not be removed after assembly. I have also learned that anymore than one linkadoo per ring (one of three) on the swing away toy bar is too heavy and makes the plastic arm floppy. Unlike a full size swing, the seating here appears very unstable, especially if you do not place baby in it just right. Several times, I placed my son in the seat either too high or too low, then the seat nearly tips over or forward. So CAUTION on that one!! I agree that the seat could use a 5 point harness for a more secure piece of mind for mom or dad. Mu husband and I find this portable swing much more easier to travel with us, unlike a full size swing (we were trying to save money and had to disassemble the full size to fit it in the trunk. This is a wise purchase for travelling with baby or even for parent(s) who live in small living quarters since this swing folds up nicely and easily too! Well, except for that darn swinging toy arm (the sun with mirror) that just sticks out. The fabric cover is simple to remove for washing (I recommend hand washing and hang dry-you never know if it will shrink or fade the color) All in all, the hubby and I like the convenience of this swing and I personally like the linkadoos print.

Liking the Linkadoos Swing
I love the linkadoos Travel swing. I didn't think I would use it for Travel or around the house like I did. I believe the benefit of this Take along swing is just that. I have taken to and From places to put my son in. The Flower could be turned the other direction to get him in or out. He also has slid down or his head has gone to the side sometimes but not all the time. This swing is compact for travel and takes up very little space. I really like this one, My son also fell asleep to the music and the speed could be adjusted as needed. It was nice to have that, where on our bigger one we only had 2spds-no music. Is still not as expensive either.

Concerned mom
If you love your child, dont buy this product. This product is completly unsafe. My son's head fel in between the legs of the swing while the swing was still moving. I thought he was going to choke. When I called Fisher-Price, they very not helpful at all.

never again
I would never buy this swing, it is unsafe. My daughters head falls through the sides and it gets stuck while the swing continues to try to swing. Her head jams in between the sides and the legs.
Then when she is in it, it hardly moves. Very weak in swinging and the mobile sits right in front of her face. Unsatisfied! ... Read more

Not that great
We just received this bouncer as a shower gift. Although I registered for this based on the reviews,I am not impressed. It is very cute to look at, however the vibration feature is loud. It actually vibrates the little bird and makes a loud noise. I do not care for the music it plays either. With out using the toy bar I am sure this would be a fine seat but, I am willing to bet there are better ones out there.

GREAT SEAT FOR THE MONEY
We received this seat as a gift 1 month ago when our daugher Sophia was 1 month old. She loved it right away.One thing I found was she cries sometimes when I put the music on. But this being my 3rd daughter reminded me that sometimes they look away from their toys and get overstimulated and can't handle too much noise or too much to look at.I learned that the hard way with my middle daughter. So when she cries I take off the toy part and she quickly falls asleep.This is our first Fisher Price seat and the least expensive seat we have ever had but the best performance wise and it is so cute to look at! I just bought it for a friend's first baby.

Great Bouncer To Have
I received this as a shower gift and I am ever so grateful that I did. My 2 week old daughter loves it. I have been putting her in it since she came home from the hosptial and the only problem I have had with it was that her head sometimes falls over to the side so I use a head support and its fine. She loves the vibration and I have no problems at all getting her to sit in it. She will fall asleep faster in her bouncer than she will in her crib with the mobile going. I dont think she old enough yet to care that there is music and rattles attached even though I can sit her in it and she will listen to the sounds and music she is not interested in the rattles or birdy just yet. She has not seemed to have a problem with the vibration being too much for a newborn and I dont think the motor is all that loud. I feel this is a wonderful item and would highly recommed it.

great bouncy seat!
We had the aquarium bouncer, but had problems with it and it was a nightmare dealing with Fisher Price to fix it, and I didnt want to go through that again so I got another seat (though it is still by fisher price) My son loves the chimes, and pulls them to make the bird spin- seeing the birds face makes him grin every time!I don't think the vibrations are too strong and I love that it has 2 volume levels.I would definately buy this one again!

very cute and comfy
I choose this item on my registry and thanks God I got it. It is soooo cute. What I like about it is that it has both features: vibration and music, it is well paded and my baby goes right to sleep once I put her there, but BE CAREFUL. I do not recomend this item for a parent of a preemie. My baby is on a monitor so I did rely on this item and didn't paid to much attention while she was sleeping on it...the first day that I used it the monitor alarm went off, when I ran to check what was happening to her I noticed that her head was hanging obstructing her airway, ever since I am puting a head support and problem solved. She loves the birds sounds and the music, it does vibrate too much...but we can live with it. ... Read more

FINALLY a swing we all love!!
Our 7 week old daughter loves this swing! We purchased and ultimately returned countless others due to poor quality. So many just didn't work properly at all once they were assembled, and frankly, we were getting pretty tired of bringing them back!! As a last trial, we found the Link a Doos swing, looked up the consumer responses and ratings for the swing and gave in and bought it as a LAST attempt to find the perfect swing.....and haven't stopped using it---finally a swing that actually works, is easy to get a baby in and out of, one that supports her head and doesn't have it lobbing around when in motion, the music is much more enjoyable than the previous swings, and she actually lays very comfortably in it as well! Not to meniton the bee and bird attachment is quite mesmerizing. We wondered whether the rotating noise would bother her, and we found it seems quite soothing to her instead......She has already logged quite a few nap-time hours in the swing, and it allows me to get some other things done at the same time as well...the only thing i would change is to allow the music to be played without having to have the swing on. Sometimes she just likes the tunes......This is a great gift idea for a shower, and just simply a MUST HAVE for a new family!!

Cute but too fast
We bought this swing because of the cute toys and the colorful look however we realized that it moves way too fast. The 6 speed seems to be the same and we can't really tell their differences. It may be more suitable for an older child but it's way too fast for our 5 weeks old daughter. She doesn't feel comfortable with the speed even when we put it in the slowest mode.

Link-a-doos Swing
We bought this swing because it was really colorful and cute. Something we thought our baby would like and he seems to like it. My only problem with it is it goes way to fast. It has six speeds, but they all seem the same. We are taking it back because we just don't feel comfortable with how fast it swings.

Great swing
We bought this swing for our then 2-month-old and, at 6-months-old, she still loves it. We like the different song and volume settings. We also like that you can move the spinning mobile to the back of the swing, so it's out of baby's way. It reclines far back, which is good for wehn baby falls alseep (which she almost always does). My husband complained at first that it cost too much, but we now know it was worth it.

Very flimsy for the price......very disappointed
Like many others, I thought this swing was very cute. It was easy enough to put together but was not very stable. The back legs would not stay on for anything! If we moved the swing even a couple of inches they fell out. We took this swing back twice and had the same problem each time. The seat is also very narrow. Overall I was very disappointed with the quality for the price. I wouldn't waste your money! ... Read more

Editorial Review

This gentle, whimsical toy provides gentle stimulation and interactive play for a baby or toddler. There are three balls, each with a different colored fish inside, that the child can place inside the fishbowl, prompting soft music and happy, bubbly sound effects. The music and sounds also play when the balls are moved around inside the bowl. The unit has a rounded bottom so it can be gently rocked, and there are two volume settings; a feature parents are sure to appreciate. Requires 3 AA batteries (included). --David Stoesz ...

Makes Me Want to Dance :)
This toy was great when dd was learning how to control her hands. The whole that you drop the balls into was large enough that she didn't have troubles "missing". The balls where just the right size for little hands to hold on to.

It is extremely durable - dd dropped the entire fish bowl several times and the balls have been dropped, kicked, stepped on and who knows what else - they all still work just like the day we opened the box. Even though dd is now 20 months old she ocassionally still pulls this toy out to hear the fun music and see what other treasures she can insert into the bowl. Also, we like the volume feature.

She didn't seem to pay much attention to the "floating/spinning" items inside the translucent balls. Also we would bring this along to grandma & grandpa's house frequently - and since they have a dog, we found it difficult to easily get all the dog hair out of the fishbowl. And finally we wish that it played a few more toons. The one song it does play is definitely upbeat and doesn't seem to get annoying as quickly as a lot of the toys out there.

A great toy to have!

One of our baby's favorite toys
Ever since our son was 2 months old, he likes looking and listening to the fishbowl. Now at 6 months, whenever he is near it, his eyes are glued to its direction. He loves grabbing for it and watching the lights and movement. You have to move the bowl three times in order for the music to start. The first two times, it makes a bubbling sound and the lights turn on. My husband and son now have a routine: Our son moves it and watches the fishes move and the lights flutter. On the third time when the music starts, my husband dances around the nursery with our son in his arms - It's really cute and always makes our son smile! I can't imagine him being bored anytime soon with this toy. He has yet to discover the flutterballs inside. Highly recommended!

Disappointed
My son loved this toy, until it stopped making noise and lights, and it wasn't the batteries. Very disappointed, since it seemed to be a huge hit with him from birth until it stopped working.

not to great after 12mo
This toy kept my son entertained for a while when he was 9-12 months. After that he was more interested in stacking or pushing buttons. He does still play with the balls, throwing them at everything he can!

Great Toy, Lots of Fun, Still Gets Lots of Use After 2 Years
I got this toy for my twins when they were around 6 months old. The sounds are soothing, the water, fish, and glitter are appealing, and this sucker is built solidly! The flutter balls are also a big hit to take in the tub. Even though my almost-3-year-olds are well past the Put In, Take Out stage of playtime interests, they still like to play with this toy now and then.

It still looks like new after 2 1/2 years of being rolled around, dropped, and sat upon. ... Read more

Awesome Swing!
My husband and I bought this swing after the motor ran out on a hand-me-down swing and a brand new Graco clarion swing.The Graco swing was primarily made of plastic and had a bear mobile that was hardly interesting.I was hesitant when we first got the 3 in 1 swing because there were no sides really on the seat but because the swing has no backing and just material it kind of snuggles my son in.He has taken many a nap in the swing.I do wish there were more speeds but the fact that the swing comes off and works as an infant seat is great!My 4 month old loves to watch baby einstein every morning in his seat.He also can sit by the dinner table and watch us eat or sit in the kitchen and watch me wash dishes.We are starting him off on solids in the seat too. It is also easy to clean and I know from experience because we've had two accidents already.This swing is definitely more bang for your buck!

It does what it's suppose to!
I decided to write a review since there was only one here to balance things out.I got this swing for my daughter when she was about 2 months old.I decided on this one because I figured we could use it longer.It worked fine.She is now 4 months and it still works fine. I mean, its not the best swing out there, but its a 3-in-1, which is why we bought it.It wasn't as cushiony and some, so we bought a head support pillow and now its comfortable. It has just 2 speeds and doesn't recline which is why I only gave it 4 stars. It still did its job though, which is to put my daughter to sleep!

Update:
I still think that this swing is doing its job!I now use the rocker/infant seat to feed my daughter solids since I do not have a highchair yet, and it works out great! She also sits in it to watch TV (Baby Eisten videos) sometimes or just to look at us (she hates lying down unless she is tired).I definitely recommend getting this swing if you want a product that you can use for a long time!

Motor went out.
I bought this for my son. I thought it was a good buy and that he would use it for a long time. He is now two weeks old and the motor has gone out on the swing. That makes him mad, so I am having to replace it. Not very smart buy if you have to replace it. ... Read more
